anyone ever used plentyoffish.com

Just wondering. Is it a site for just hooking up? I have been on for about 4 days and out of the 20 guys I have spoke to, about half are already trying to take it far. I mean not wanting to get to know about each other, just wanting to move straight to the dirty stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude by any means. But I have it set that I'm looking for a relationship and not just hook ups. Just wondering other people's experiences.

My man and I celebrated our one year mark a month ago after meeting on POF. He went there to hook up, I went there to hook up...

The nice thing about POF is that you meet local people. POF has a reputation for being a hookup site, but it is not. We did not hook up, it took a year, and we are now in love. Go for it. If it feels wrong, it probably is.

I found my wonderful man on pof

I think POF is good if you spend enough time sorting through those one-night-stand type guys (they're usually blatantly obvious about it).

I've met a few good guys off there - went on a few dates, but they just weren't for me.

So spend the time, sift through the muk, and it's possible to find someone decent on there.

WOW! That is terrible. I would suggest finding some womens groups and making friends with the ladies I'm new to this site and that is what (for the most part) I've done with no problems. Glad your here and happy to be your friend if you would like.

I loved POF when I was single. Most fun ever! I also married someone I met on there and we now have a 19 month old daughter. And he doesn't care that having her made me fat.

I met my husband on POF almost 4 years ago We've been married for almost 10 months. That being said, I went through 4 or so guys that I met that were just weird and countless other ones that I chatted with but never met. You just have to be careful!

Met my husband on POF 5 years ago and we were married a year later! Just celebrated our anniversary on Thursday!
There are some strange people on there, as there are on many other dating sites too. Just be careful!

I met the most amazing girl there a while back. Amazing woman. give it a shot.

However, the quality of most girls there is very low. That is why guys just want hook ups. Very few women on that site are worth more than that. You really have to search to find the good ones.

Patience. Exactly what it takes to go for the online dating route!

Couple my friends use that site. I'd don't get the whole online dating thing.

I'm on POF, OKCupid, and Match. I've had about the same amount of success on all three, which is to say NOT MUCH! However, I would classify POF as the sketchiest of the three. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I either don't translate well online or I am just not attractive. *shrugs*

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years - and we met using Plenty Of Fish.

Now, I had to be incredibly patient and incredibly picky about who I would go meet on a date. I also did not put out easily.

They had to wait at least 3 months before I would put out.

When they sent me the initial message, I would not reply if it was a quick one liner "Hey whats up". If there was no effort put in their messages, I would not even bother.

This weeded out the bad fish pretty quickly.

Ahhh - I am the same way! I also don't reply if their profile has no effort put into it, or if they can't spell/use proper grammar. I hate it even more when they have the "how u doin, oh ya i luv that movie good 4 u" type speak. That is an automatic hell no on my part.

Yup! It really is just having the ability to trust your instinct, look for the red flags - and don't be afraid to say "no" when you know he is not the one for you! Other than that - it can be fun. People just need to be smart before going on a date. HAH i remember my 1st date I went on with a guy I met on POF. I told my sister, my class mates in uni, and I even wrote a note and put it on my fridge saying "I went on a date with

I just pulled up the local POF website. It wasn't any different than what I was expecting... which isn't saying much... Basically, it looks like what we used to do in the bar/party scene back when I was dating has now gone online... and it reminded me of how much I disliked trying to meet perspective dates that way.

The main reason I was considering online dating is a few of my friends keep talking about how I'm too good of a guy to stay single for long and how they'll introduce me to "someone they know who is perfect for me" and, for some reason, that doesn't appeal to me.

Well... it can be bad I suppose... I had amazing luck with it though. My boyfriend and I met on there and we took things very very slow. We've been together for 2 years now

I met my husband there.... Just weed through you will find him... Good Luck! :flowerforyou:

I met my boyfriend on there...:) There are a lot of losers that you have to filter through but for me it was totally worth it....He's an amazing guy and we're extremely happy, going on three years
