Bad Site!

From my experience thus far, it's been a mix of both. Uneducated AND stuck up groups. I think the ones that are stuck up don't realize it and get on POF because everyone else they've tried to date won't tolerate their snootiness

Plenty of Old Fish I call it. Many wornout hags whose best days are long past and without common(?) courtesy. Ninety percent of the women I contacted on POF--and I contacted a lot just to see how many would reply to my message--didn't even bother replying in return; they only looked at my profile. Excuse me! Is it asking too much for a quick reply even if it's a simple: "Thanks for your interest but you're just not my type," or something similar.

I'm an average looking guy who's in his mid-40s, 6' 2"/210 lbs., into physical fitness and certainly not bad looking--at least that's what I've been told so I don't feel that's an issue. I've replied to all women who sent me messages, even those way too old for me or those I wouldn't have sex with if they offered to pay me big bucks, as a matter of courtesy.

Those mannerless hags are the online equivalent of those b*tches you pass by on the street, in the supermarket aisle, etc. and say a friendly "hello" to and they just look at you in return and say nothing. EXCUSE ME! I didn't ask you if you wanna f*ck, I just said HELLO!

My conclusion is this: unless you're above-average in the looks dept. (and contrary to what dating gurus say, women on online dating sites DO judge you by your looks), I wouldn't waste much time trying to find that "special someone" on Plenty of Fish or other online dating sites. Yes, I know there are exceptions to the rule but that doesn't change "the rule." Your best bet is to get out there in the real world and socialize if you want to find that special someone. Also, dieting and exercise along with a decent haircut and clothing--if you are lacking in any of these areas--is another prerequisite if you want to make a good impression and increase your chances of attracting someone.

Hey man, you've got a good sense of humor and seem to take it in stride.

The reason why women don't bother replying to your message is because we seem to live in a fast paced society these days. More so than ever before. Women are receiving countless, I mean hundreds of emails. So it's very time consuming and consequently frustrating for them to bother replying.
If you had met that women in public and got to know her, asked her out, chances are you'd get a courtesy 'no thanks', as opposed to completely ignored. It's the online dating world, real world rules do not apply, unfortunately.

so sad. i'm just on here to read comments about POF, but these pathetic comments make it so perfectly clear why no one is responding. get your own house in order: be, do, have. start at step 1. and see how your responses improve.

You're expectations are way too high.

Just like in a bar or a club, women are usually outnumbered 10:1 by men, which means that they have their pick.

On average, a guy might receive 5 to 10 emails a day, and most of those are replies to emails he sent earlier in the day.

Women, on the other hand, can receive literally hundreds of emails on a daily basis. Even if it only takes one minute to reply with "not interested, thanks" those minutes add up fast.

Why would anyone waste their time replying to hundreds of emails from people they have no interest in meeting or having a conversation with?

If you enter the online dating world with expectations, you will be disappointed every time.

most women are tired of men trying to be sly. The educated women should not have to say hi back because you feel like saying hello due to your admiring them. They also have their responsibilities and lives to manage.

If every guy walks by admiring them says hello, it will eventually become a bother and really tiring.

I signed up about 6months ago and was on there for about 1 month and then deleted my profile. I decided to go back recently and I only lasted 3 days. There are as many old hags as OLD farts. I'm 44 and was trying to look for someone around my age. To my surprise, the same guys that were there 6months ago were still there searching for that SPECIAL ONE woman in their lives, which is a F* buddy. Or maybe they became addicted. Men should just post that on their profiles. Most men do not bother to read profiles and are only interested in women sending them pictures. Then you have the snobs- both young and old- looking for a young, perfect body, beautiful and intelligent lady to fulfill their fantasies. Whatever!! I received over 50 emails each day, and most of them were "hi" or "hello", to which is was pointless to respond. When I did respond, no more emails followed! And yes, women and men, check pictures before responding. We are all shallow! If you're looking for a FB, or just a one night stand- this is the site. Also, too many coffee drinkers...LOL!

"To my surprise, the same guys that were there 6months ago were still there searching for that SPECIAL ONE woman in their lives"

FYI, the same is true of the women - some are there for years. They've probably had THOUSANDS of offers (unlike most men who are lucky if they get one offer a week), but yet they've turned them ALL down? Not all men are interested in NSA only, so where does that leave your theory that it's all the men's fault?

"Then you have the snobs- both young and old- looking for a young, perfect body, beautiful and intelligent lady to fulfill their fantasies."

The alternative to that (accepting just anyone) is known as "desperation". See my previous paragraph - many women are just as bad, if not worse, and they won't settle for anything less than perfect.

"I received over 50 emails each day, and most of them were "hi" or "hello", to which is was pointless to respond."

If you go to Edit Profile > Mail Settings you can set a minimum length for first contact messages which will block those one word emails.

I am a successful 35 year old male. I've been on pof for a few years now and have really only landed a few dates. I've moved around the country alot. As a guy, I believe the duration you've been on this site doesn't really mean so much. But Attractive women being on here along time could mean something different. You cannot rate a dating website by accepting women's perspectives and men's and putting them together for one overall rating. I want to know what other similar 35 year old men think.. I know that attractive women are over run with opportunities from men on POF. For these girls being the opportunities are a dime a dozen. Their inboxes are overloaded but half of the men are over-exaggerating or fibbing. Buy my own results this site tells me that I don't have the luxury of being selective yet the attractive women can be extremely selective here. Many of these women just enjoy being hit on it gives them re-assurance that they're still attractive.
---FYI,I also don't do worth a crap on this site, check out my profile "Ecological 1" in Indiana, Men or women your critique/advice is welcome reply to my profile I won't think you're gay or hitting on me you either way.

I couldn't agree with you more on the FB. I have been on and off this site for nearly 2 years. It is all the same people. The men truly are in either one of two catagories.... want a FB only or SEX on the FIRST date... if you give in, they find a reason the next day to say it isn't going to work, If you don't, they find a reason it isn't going to work...lol. The other kind of man is a MARRIED man. I can't tell you how many married men I discovered on there..... and I wasn't looking for them. Finally, the men are all shallow. I was always honest in my listing of body type... it cracks me up how many men put they are athletic.... and they are far from it. It is also amazing that no men on there appreciate a woman who isn't shaped like Barbie.

I can certainly appreciate a woman who isn't shaped like Barbie but give me something anyway. If you're a bit overweight that is fine but if your face also looks like the back end of a Boxer (and I don't mean Floyd Mayweather) don't expect me to be interested in crawling into bed with you. I might wake up and die of fright. The biggest problem I found with the site are photos that are not current. If you look like you're 20 but your profile says you're 45? Don't expect me to msg you. Then there are the women who think they are God's gift to man. Let me be the first to disillusion you; no such thing exists. If they are absolutely gorgeous and shaped like Barbie too, they want a man who not only Looks like a Greek God, but they want him to be the perfect puppy dog as well. Heel Doggie!! Personally, if I cannot find someone who is for real, I'd rather jerk off..!!

I agree with this guy. Are you girls so dumb to think that when we see you we won't notice that your pictures are when you were 18 and still attractive. I have met 4 girls who have put on serious lbs since there old photos. You will not fool a guy into a relationship with an old photo. some guys like big girls be honest and if its right it will work. Don't be that liar with old pictures trying to fish for a guy (POF GET IT ) lol

yeah dating online is a joke the people i met were fake overall i tried it and i dont know why i did its not worth it. if people have to go dating online to meet some its desperate and they could be lying about their own profile meet people at better places like the gym mall church. if your going to meet someone online you might as well meet someone at the bar its just as bad!
