I also found that the ladies were a little optimistic with their physical descriptions in their profiles. "Slim and athletic" doesn't usually include muffin-tops. :noway: While you may have fit that description 5- 10 years ago, be honest with the guy and yourself if you've put on a few pounds. I used pics that were taken within the past week or two, and met ladies using 5 year old pics.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Had a friend use POF and she thought she met this wonderful guy. I helped her get an outfit for her date that night. Later that night she came to my house pissed because her wonderful guy had a vagina.
My advice to you is to do a skype session (DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR NUMBER) before you meet. That way you do not have to worry about psycho stalkers and stuff.
OMG is that for real?? jeez0 -
wow
Alot of responses
Thank you all :flowerforyou:
Just read through everyone's posts and found them highly informative. It seems like people generally either meet life partners on there or meet a load of weirdos on there
It does sound like an interesting experience though :laugh: sure I'll give it a go but I don't know if I'll actually date anyone out of it and I don't think I'll post any pictures, maybe just do the contacting myself.
You should have a picture up, and only speak to people with pictures, I state that in my profile too.0 -
I have used POF many times (in between break ups) because I work from home and find it hard to meet people. I can't say I have met any awesome people off of there but I do agree that there HAS to be a decent guy out there somewhere. I'm just looking for the guy version of myself....and if I exist, they have to exist too. (fingers crossed)
I've even tried match & e harmony and it was a waste of money. Same people, just a little less frugal with their money.
Online dating is super frustrating. If nothing comes of it I figure at least I tried.
Good luck to you!0 -
Plenty of **** more like. In my experience there's a heck of a lot of weirdos on it, which is a shame as it's free!
Free is why there's weirdos.0 -
ITS FREE... ya kinda get what ya pay for.. lol0

Found my boyfriend on POF, been together nearly 2 months now and we first met in April, getting to know each other.0

I think its cute how many successful relationships were found through Plent of Fish
I used to be on it looking for my one and only but ended up marrying my neighbor lol
Out of all the people I met from that site every single one of them were weirdos.
This one guy looked hot in his photos and when I met him he was 5 foot nothing and looked like Shrek!
I know looks are not what matters in a relationship but....really??
I am..however...still on the siite..dont go on it much...but its also a good way to make friends. Just making friends is stated specifically in my profile. Being I dont have much of a social life at home with the kids all the time. Its a good place to chat with people. Ive met some pretty cool moms on that site...along with some crazies lol0 -
I used POF to meet exactly 3 men. Because once you find/meet three weirdos.... I just moved on.
#1 - Wanted me to sneak into a movie after we'd seen a movie. Stepped in front of me in the movie line to buy his OWN ticket and not mine.
#2 - I think he wanted to wear my skin.
#3- Dated for about 9mons. Found out he had a gf of 9 years that he lived with. Also tried to kill himself over our relationship ending. What a NIGHTMARE.0 -
Let's see, there are the married men who say they are divorced, the men with addiction issues, the ones looking for just sex, and then there was the one who gives me a great story to tell.
The guy had had bone cancer as a kid. They took out his knee and installed a rod so he could walk. He had trouble driving (right leg) so he asked me to pick him up. (All true by the way.) I knocked on his door, and he opened it wide. He was standing there buckass naked and it was NOT a pretty sight.
I told you I'm sorry!! I was highly medicated!0 -
Yes there are a lot of really messed up people there... but there are some good eggs on there too... I met my boyfriend through there 5 years ago, we've been dating for three years and going strong.
Just be honest and be yourself and be patient!0 -
POF has decent men on it, but you have to weed thru alot of weirdos and creeps. I get alot of sex emails and that can be frustrating. Just remember that you need to go in with an open mind.
So I say give POF a try, but know you will get emails that frustrate you. It takes time. Let us know how it goes.
Could not have said it better0 -

Free is why there's weirdos.
Nah because you get those weirdos even on paid sites too.............0 -
:laugh: Good One!!!0

OkCupid.
POF is pretty widely known as being for booty.0 -
MrBigMack and I met on Plenty Of Fish 0
-
I met my husband on Plenty of Fish. That was 4 years ago, and we're still going strong! I liked that site the best. Good luck!0
-
My friends and I would use it when we were like 16 to meet older guys with cars and alcohol.0

For all of you gals bashing the guys on that site, just remember, your gender is NOT EXEMPT to the games and BS!!!
Gave it a try.... lots of women who just want a free dinner even though they are looking for a "longterm relationship". :noway:
They all want the nice guy, but don't even reply to the most sincere ice-breakers. Then when they do respond, they tell you they're dating lots of other guys so they can decide who's best for them. How in the hell are gonna know who's right for you when you're out with a new guy every night? :grumble:

Yah, ladies.... the douche-bags have vaginas too. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You are right. I didn't specify whether the *kitten* were male or female. In my experience, it was a male. I have male friends that have had horrible experiences on that site. But it happens everywhere too its just my personal preference after my experience in Hellto not use POF or any other dating site again.0 -
I'm on it. Be warned that a lot of people don't take that site seriously - it's known as the site to find a hook up. And that goes for both men and women. I am not singling out any one group there. I'm only on it halfheartedly since I work alone and most of my friends are parents with significant others of sorts. It is what it is.0
-
Is it just me, or are there a LOT of firefighters and emts on there? Makes me suspicious guys just want to appear to have a sexy profession.0
-
Ummm I didn't have a good experience with it, there are WAY too many people on there (yes there can be too many) and their interface sucks. Okcupid was a better choice for me, people were a bit more serious.0
-
Me and the OH will be together 1 year in September! I'm now looking for work where he lives and moving in with him.0
-
I had been on a few different sites including POF and didn't like any of them....maybe it was just me.0
-
Mackerel, milkfish, tarpon, tuna, salmon, tilapia. Best fish...0
-
I just joined, first women I message sent back "sorry not my type" thanks for letting me know lol
I wish more people would do this. It's better than no response at all...0 -
I had a wonderful experience of my friend finding my now ex on that site lol.
but in all seriousness, a lot of my friends have met their partners through that site0 -
I joined Plenty of Fish in June of 2010, because I'd moved to a new city and I wanted to meet people. I really wasn't looking for a relationship, just new friends.
First guy I met had joined the day before me and was basically fresh out of a 10 year relationship and not after anything serious. Just looking for some nookie really. I was also the first person he met off there.
I'm marrying him 1 week tomorrow 0 -
My experience... no "dating" happened. Just "fun". Id do it again0

RichandLonely
He's definitely looking for a serious relationship.0 -
My experience... no "dating" happened. Just "fun". Id do it again
