    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.

    I had been on a few different sites including POF and didn't like any of them....maybe it was just me.

    but in all seriousness, a lot of my friends have met their partners through that site

    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 :)

    *** RESULTS NOT TYPICAL ***

    i fired up my pof profile a couple of months ago in a lonely, frustrated, slightly drunk fit of pique. i had no expectations (because i really wasn't thinking it through) so i shouldn't have been surprised: my inbox started filling up before i'd even posted a picture. after i put up my pix it filled up even faster. i got a lot of crude, graceless propositions, which i quickly got comfortable ignoring. i got a lot of decent comeons from those just 'not my type.'

    early on i got one reasoned, intelligent message of more than ten words, to which i responded eagerly. turns out this is the one and only guy (thus far) i've met irl from pof. we have been seeing each other for a month, and it's going swell. :wink:

    VERY GOOD SITE. Since you choose IF you want to pay or not for extras, but basic is free, and thats better than most. user name: MFPsupertreat

    I have used both plenty of fish and Okcupid in the past. Both are free sites and yes there are plenty of strange uns out there but no more than if you meet someone in a bar.


    I'm no longer on any of these sites although friends still sue them Because thanks to OKcupid I'm happily married with a beautiful almost 3 year old daughter.

    Ohhh dating sites. So many I've been on. *ahem* I have a busy life and meeting people randomly just does not happen to me.

    The last one I tried was POF...and I stayed on it for about 3 weeks. It was insane. Before I figured out I could filter out by age of who could contact me I had a plethora of cubs looking for cougar to maul them. Then there were the guys who suggested my place as first date. WTF? Or the ones that don't really want to meet but want to have some sort of e-mail relationship.

    The best experience I've had is with Match. Yes you have to pay, but that's what weeds out the freaks and the looky-loos and the people just wasting your time. I've had two long-term relationships with gentlemen I've met through match - and they were gentlemen.

    Tried it and met my ex, we were together for 2 years. Thought we were going to get married, but he wasn't ready for committment I guess. Anyway, since it is free you really have to weed through the losers. I finally had to put " **Disclaimer!! I am NOT here for an online hook-up, booty call, or a "fun time". If that is what you are looking for don't waste your time or mine by messaging me**" After I put that up I met Joe. The thing with the "Free" sites, is it doesn't weed out the skeez-bags. At least if you have to pay a decent amount for the site, you know the guys are a little bit more serious.

    It was the first and only dating site I've used, I just randomly clicked on an ad I saw on Facebook one day and thought hmmm I was new to the area and had been single for about 8 months. Was surprised how many messages I got, I wasn't even sure if I was ready to start dating again so I was a bit scared at first.

    First two people I had extensive chats with turned out to be pigs, and the third was bingo! We've been together almost 3 years, own a home together and could not be happier :)
