Maybe you would have better luck either in church or in a bar. My ex sister-in-law just married the man of her dreams 3 months ago and they bought the most gorgeous house and are so happy-they met on the site. She finally found her happy ever after. I've met a few good guys and I think I may have just found the man of my dreams. There are weirdos everywhere and guys will lie to you, no matter where you meet them. It's your responsibility to sift through the frogs to find your prince. Don't blame the site. No matter where you meet a man, take your time, get to know that person, and make your intentions known immediately. If they don't have the same goal then no time is wasted. I've made a couple of good friends and even a tax client from this site but then again I don't blame the guys simply because they aren't compatible with me regarding a specific kind of relationship.

Just a quick note to tell of my experience online with both POF and Ok Cupid. It has been disenchanting at best! I do believe in love but why can't I find it? I have believed in people who have not delivered and it is disheartening. However, I will not give up. There are people who are for real. You just have to look through the mist and find them! Don't give up!

one of my friends overheard a guy stating he needed to get laid so, another guy advised him to join POF

I had good dates with POF ! Took a break due to business, then friend told me about E Vow. thought OK, then did my profile, got a FEW good guys to possibly call. THEN MUCH to MY SURPRISE...to get F..IN access U HAVE TO PAY !! Subscribe .... END OF MEMBERSHIP !

I have been trying POF for many years and dated one guy once. I am a SWF and am looking for a SWM and I get attacked several times a day by every non WM for my preferneces. I told POF about this and they do nothing. I didn't know I was the PROPERTY of the non WM!!!! I am looking for compatibility, same background and brought up the same. I'll never get that on POF. Multi-racial is manditory according to the male attitudes. It also looks like all the WM must feel the same way. If that is so they need to be able to block people by RACE if they don't want me looking at them in hopes of developing a relationship where I have no chance. That would be very helpful.
I could do the same and that would help me out. It would cut out nearly a million people I neither want and who would not want me and I could see what real chance I have. I am 46, tall, average to thin, intelligent, work full time, don't drink, smoke or do drugs (all this goes against me apparently). I'm a very warm and loving woman.

Man these reviews are funny. Especially the on the women was talking about I met a guy and we met and once he got what he wanted he was gone,then she blamed the site she was on for her own mistake. Funny.
Pof and Evow don't take down user profiles even if you delete on the site. They use users to have large numbers of users to make themselves look good.
Little hint all site suck if there used wrong and back up what you say in your profile don't go by the picture for your only basis on responding to a message. Use your head stick to what you want block users in the special request in the messaging section. I try to message and spend a little thought into it and be mature and women will view but not respond ,ok what that is is the site computer program to get you excited make you think someone is checking you so you will upgrade.

I went out on several dates with different men I met on POF. I could write a book about the weirdos and creeps I met there including a guy called Iowaphoto who brought a small video camera to our first date and without my knowledge, permission videotaped by legs. My account was deleted because I sent him a nasty email on Valentine's Day with a heart attached. All I said was now you finally have a heart. Oh well, POF did me a huge favor by deleting my account. I am trying to find another dating site, but unfortunately none of them seem to have as many people on them so responses are slow. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good dating site?

i've been internet dating since it started and it's come a long ways. Any way you do it, it's better than a bar or the church choir.

I"m on nine sites and none of them are perfect. I date one or two people a year and i almost always meet them online. I go on 15-30 coffee dates a year. WAY cheaper than a bar...

I've met some nice people on POF (you DO have to learn how to filter the losers), but i was not prepared for the 3x as much activity upgrade i got when i went to OKC. I've trebled my phone conversations. My hopes have really risen. All the normal filters have to be there, i.e. are these really recent pics, etc, but now i'm able, thru the questions, to actually feel like i'm getting to know the women. I'm such a happy camper that I even paid for 6 months of upgrade.

I have actually met a couple of nice guys on POF a couple of years ago. They looked liked their picture as did I. Sometimes, it's just timing. None of us were really ready for a relationship and a man that has been cheated on is as hurt and disappointed as women are. I agree that unless you put yourself out there for the bumps and bruises then you definitely won't meet anyone.

I found that Match.com was REALLY BS!! All these people were on there when you were searching out the site to join and then when you joined...they were no where to be found.
PLUS, they keep charging your credit card whether you have checked off X amount of months, payments whatever.

E Harmony was the worst!! THEY do all the choosing for you, you do not have any say what-so-ever so that's BS especially as they are sending you obvious "matches" that you would not interested in at all. Between this site and Match, I had to cancel my credit card which causes all sorts of issues as you know!

So I will say this about POF, at least it's free, the people are real and men are as bad if not worse than women for posting 10 year old photos! You don't have to go to the bar Yuk and with everyone being so busy these days, it's worth a try. I agree that there are some people who just haven't been strong enough to actually leave a bad relationship so they are literally just "fishing". That being said, most women are willing to get counselling but the men, not so much. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. If men and women alike would just take the time to listen to each other, there wouldn't be so many dating sites for wounded and weary.
