i agree i was on POF the first one i have ever been on, after a few weeks a soldier over seas( well this is what he claimed) contacted me made me feel so special and that we would be together for ever well to make a long story short the bastard took me for $6,000 by life savings and still wanted more, if it hadnt been for western union stopping a transaction he would have gotten $3,000 more, Yes i was studip, i believed in the whole on line dating game, and its a shame that there are people out there using loneliness and the longing for love to benefit there pockets.......

Wow I am really surprised that men are just as frustrated with pof as women! lol. At least I can say I learned something about myself after trying online dating--I learned that it is not for me. Too many of the men on pof lie about their age, post pics of their attractive friends and the list goes on and on. I tried to be open minded and look beyond the photos to try to get a sense of the type of person I was communicating with, but most of the people I encountered could not articulate themselves clearly. Since when does "hey" or "I'm a good man" constitute a conversation. I am convinced one of the men I met was wanted by the police or FBI because he was paranoid when I asked his name and place of origin. You would think I asked him for a blood sample and a set of fingerprints. So now that the online dating experiment failed miserably, I guess I will go back to the club scene. At least I get to see the real person and not some photoshopped, old picture of some poor schmuck that is hiding behind his computer ***sighs***

I can agree that PoF and Evow are both a crock. I had someone harrassing me through the mail system, when i told them to stop countless times, i lost my cool. I complained to them with explanatory remarks. In the end, they reported me for my behavior and my account and future accounts are now banned and deleted. This site is *censored*, and if they were on the Better Business Bureau, i would file a major complaint. A lot of people pay these scammers outrageous prices for more features, and Pro status profiles. Only to have something stupid and unreasonable like this happen? There wasn't even a warning, or investigation, or even a notification. I just couldn't log in anymore. Stay away from Plenty of Fish, and Evow. Both of them will just take your money and defend no one. Legit or not. It's a crock.

I've been on POF for 2 years and I must say that the ladies are nice. I have high standards so I only meet the real nice looking ones but they seem to be OK. Many I meet only for coffee because they are not like their photos. Some by many years. Some are looking for a guy with a lot of money so I pass those by. But some are just looking for a nice guy to go out with on a date. I think all of us have our standards so high that we will never meet the right person. So, Good Luck to us all.

People are people. There are the good, bad and ugly EVERYWHERE, and they come in ALL RACES. I've been on POF for three years and I've had many dates and some were good and some were not so good. All in all, it's no different than meeting someone anywhere else. You have to weed them out and KNOW what you're looking for. If the person turns out to be a phony or manipulator, then just move on and block them. It 's no big deal. Yes it's discouraging but don't let it get the best of you. Losers on this site are not a reflection of the site because losers are everywhere. If you're frustrated, just take a LONG break from this site and come back to it when you're feeling better. Venting and getting angry at the site is not productive. If love was so easy to find, there wouldn't be a need for these type of dating sites. Dating sites may not be for everyone. Just like a radio station, if you don't like what you're hearing, just turn it off or switch to another radio channel. We all have the power of choice. Use it.

Not all men judge a woman on their looks. I do expect them to have some self respect in terms of keeping relatively fit, but that is mainly to avoid health complications. I know we'll all put on weight eventually, but if you're 20 stone when you're 30 then you're starting from the wrong place.

I wouldn't even want to know someone who wouldn't consider dating a man because he was ugly. I don't have time for immature girls.

Plenty of fish is just what says. No commitment, any site that advertises and is known for sex with multiple
Partners, does not say much for the members. Adult students who are studying so hard
have time to play on this site. I will pass on sleeping with everyone I talk too. Look out for those who want to get you in bed so easy.

eVow is same as POF. Full of fakes. Women who keep in contact for a day or two then vanish and you never hear from them again, too ignorant to even reply to any message you leave. Women seeking a free night out and then saying goodbye is all you find on here. If you are looking for a genuine, and HONEST woman then go elsewhere as they are certainly not on here. Just time wasters putting up, (false) profiles to see what response they get, just want flattering and spoiling and free nights out.

Does anyone even use evow anymore? It is not even mentioned on pof.com anymore. There use to be a link for it near the top of the site. If Plenty of fish does not have enough confidence even mentioning their own dating service how do they expect us to use it.

I agree about the "marrieds" and the shallow halls. Boys and what are you offering and whats working? Hmm?
