I feel you are not working harder to protect us from these criminals. They have the ability to steal or buy eligible profiles from POF. After saying no to the the person who led me on and then asked for money, I was bombarded on your website with many profiles that were not the person that was in the profile. The key is the change in Grammerton and writing style and an urgency to get you off line. I have learned. When I did not cooperate with these profiles, I have been getting Robo calls from all over the world; 30 or more calls a day. Can’t prove it but quite a coincidence. I saw this profile yesterday and when I tried to find instructions on how to delete him, he immediately blocked me from his profile. You have work to do. I know 3 women who have been extorted out of money and these are smart professional women, tOne I had referred to POF. The profile That started this for me says he is from Miami, fl and he lives downtown. He is a PhD and an engineer. He is Greek. He is 70 and has round face and light brown hairAnd curls that gram his face. He looks like he is in his 50s. His story when he writes you is that he lost his wife and daughter in a car crash and he is raising a young granddaughter. He. Does international work and travels all over the year. He sent me a picture of him and his little girl. I think he is from an Eastern Block country. Most of the calls I have been getting are From those areas.

Couple of things, the Your Matches should not be showing me a majority of users that ‘Wouldn’t Date a Smoker’ when one lists that they smoke often. It’s a total waste of my time to be reviewing these profiles to find at the very bottom the person wouldn’t date a smoker. Not to mention, this information is hidden to non-upgraded users, so if one is not upgraded, how much time are they wasting for the other person sending messages to someone that would never date them? This should also be an option in the refine search. Speaking of the search, if a person puts in show me users within X amount of miles, don’t automatically expand the search if there are not enough users within that parameter. If I’m only going to date people with 25 Miles of me why would you expand the search and show me people 100 miles away?? If there is not enough users that fit my parameters fine, show me the ones that do and stop. Time is valuable to everyone and there are features of this app that waste a ton of it with results that just don’t fit what you’re looking for because you arbitrarily decide to mix in.Also your block feature is useless if the person you block can still view your profile. I moved and had a user blocked and just received a notice that she ‘liked’ me. So now she knows where I live again. Thanks for the great safety feature.

Nine months ago, I began to explore the idea of dating in general and, specifically, online dating. Back then (wow, that sounds so long ago) there seemed to be a bit more real profiles. I chatted with a few women and then put everything on hold so I could process my thoughts about the experiences. Some months later, I revisited and quickly discovered the game within the game… not only the game of realizing that these types of apps typically result in shallow connections, but the game of realization that even the “selfie verified” profiles most often involved fake images. It takes some effort and a little bit of skill to zoom in on the profile photos by zooming in on the outer edges of the screen. Within almost all of the photos that looked real overall, my zooming revealed subtle AI errors, such as double rows of teeth within certain parts of the mouth and certain fingers appearing longer than they should or even curled unnaturally… but, way back nine months ago, one of those women was quite real. We gradually transitioned our conversation to a different platform and… The rest is history. We are partners enjoying a very real, three dimensional life together through lighthearted texts and calls, and have now spend time together locally five times. We are deepening our relationship through the Paired couple’s app that fosters daily conversations about compatibility and creating a better understanding of each other for live conversations, physical activities like Pickleball, and… building a relationship together over these past nine months.

This site has been available for over ten plus years. And this site has gotten bad to worse and everything in between. The quality of men and women in our currant generation have undermined the true essence of what it is to be in the dating scene. Every single persons’ profile is filled with disingenuous things about themselves and very superficial and narcissistic when it comes to things they claim to want. Too many profiles have been hacked, men pose secretly as drag queens, lesbians with 3rd wave feminism bash on men, men on here have lost sense of the values of chivalry, you have prostitutes on here, low Class and low IQ people and I’ve had one girl Years ago try to rob me. If the staff and owners of this site take any consideration for its members to find their significant other then I’d suggest they stop what their doing and actually assess the issues this site has been having. This site is allowing dregs of women and men of our generation with bad values and morals come into contact with others for all the wrong reasons. The worst thing on this sites part is charging people a month to be on a site with bad quality of people, you’re practically ripping people off of their money and their dreams of finding someone compatible. Take some consideration in the reason for why you created this site and take some pride and responsibility in who you have on here. Because the only reputation you’re destroying is yourselves and the failed ones you’ve allowed onto this site.

I’m not sure if it’s just the area I live in. But the new pof, that is the free version, is HORRIBLE please beware of several different factors. There are an astonishing amount of transsexuals and guys that slip through the cracks on this site. Even when you put preferences that would otherwise rule them out. I’m personally constantly harassed and they are constantly harassing me. They also pop up on matches and POF live streams, you are also not able to kick them from your stream without bouncers even when blocked which prompts me to no longer stream because of having to constantly restart the stream. Please do a better job at screening these individuals, not that I have anything against them personally, it’s just not my preference and it’s unfair to women that I may actually meet.That’s my major qualm, aside from that a lot of users blatantly put P2P and stream to get money without looking to actual date, it’s not backpage (not hating on a hustle but it’s a dating app) I also receive a lot of hateful mail it seems like a lot of users in my area are cracked out or online everyday, it would be nice to see legitimately new users in my area. The no screenshot rule is annoying as well if you have pictures that are in screenshot format. Again I’m just speaking from the free version perspective it seems like there’s not much concern or effort being put into the free version. Please update the nearby, it’s gone from a good dating site to a cash grab

I have been an on and off member for a while now of Plenty of fish on a friends recommendation. So I gave it a go not knowing what a mess I was walking into. Literally the only people I ever “matched” with were hookers or escorts. While the search wasn’t as bad as some it was kind of terrible. It never took into account where you were when looking for matches only where the majority of people were so if you weren’t in Seattle or Tacoma it would recommend a million people in Seattle and Tacoma because that’s apparently where everyone lives. It did give some recommendations near where I was but the digging I had to go through to find them was cruel. Then when you match someone and it could be a person! Nope, next thing you know your inbox is full of “hey sexy I’m an escort in your area!”... no just no while sending you your profile picture. And at least on the guys side you can’t get rid of your matches, I looked and looked and looked hoping to find where to narrow down my matches so it didn’t constantly say over a dozen, those dozen being the hookers that won’t go away. I know girls unmatched me but I can’t I match them so I’m stuck having to look at the escorts forever unable to delete them. And then as your going through the “meet me” side of it you decline someone and then three swipes later the same exact person appears in front of you. I just declined you? How many profiles do you have to show up that many times that quickly?

I downloaded the app a month or two ago but only got around to using it today. I made an account and the app seemed like a unique app. Then someone messaged me, I opened it, responded, and then got sent an incredibly suspicious looking link. I asked them if they were a robot or just a scammer and I got blocked by them. Then my profile got set to private and my photos removed. I re-uploaded those photos and set my profile to public and went to respond to the next person, who ended up a robot. Then my profile got stripped down again so I reset the app to try and solve the issue to find my account deleted. Tried to contact support and found that I needed a new account. So I created a basic one with sole purpose of contacting support, but in between the creation of the account and navigating to support I got “liked” by one of the same robots that liked my first account. Side note: I created a third account on my laptop (bc science) and was immediately hit up by another (but not the same) bot. That account was also bannedThe depth of this dating app was intriguing to me and I want to use it, but whatever scam detection algorithm or whatever policing power PoF may have seems to have more interest in banning legitimate users rather than the scammers.Side note: PoF doesn’t ban phone numbers or emails. From what I could tell, I could continually create accounts, be malicious until they get banned, and then rinse and repeat. So go them for that nonsense.

I'm a paying customer because it was the only way for me to see who were supposedly wanting to meet me. Some I've messaged to simply say hi and they are bogus accounts or fake people pretending to be the person on their profile. Also my messages don't even get sent out to people I actually do find interesting enough to message. This dating site feels like a scam.. I've been a member more than once in the hopes of meeting cool folks.. but I'm being showing my matches are people that are way too young, or the opposite sex, and the constant glitches are ridiculous the app works intermittently. Before being a paying customer I had all the people supposedly wanting to meet me.. now I'm a paying member and nothing happens., then you want more money for some other feature to be seen first... or more...Like really guys.., the key is to keep customers coming back or spreading the word so that you get positive feedback and more clients. My membership is over in Aug.. which I'm sure on my last date before it expires .. I will mysteriously get people wanting to meet me. This app is like a fake gas station.. you pay for services not rendered... some of us have no time to find dates on the outside and the dating site is more feasible... now I'm not so sure.. and I waited and put off many times to give a review because I kept hoping for a different outcome.. no bueno, I don't recommend this dating site unless you have time to chat with a fake person or looking to screw.

As soon as I saw that this app was under the Match company, I should have run the other way. I only joined a week ago and paid good money for the 3 months prime membership. I was enjoying several convos with some women but there was one that was very persistent and impatient about meeting me. I’d already given her my phone number. During communication on my phone she became upset with me for saying that I didn’t feel like I knew her well enough to meet in person yet. And, I’m Cuban American so she called me a scammer because of my accent. I’m a decorated retired US Army special forces veteran. This encounter put me off for the next several days to visit pof. Then, I decided that these apps are so big on safety (especially for women) that even as a man, I had a right to report her. There’s nothing in their terms of service that says that you can’t pass along your phone number to them either. I was pleasantly surprised to get a notification from them in the app within a couple days saying that they reviewed her profile and they banned her from the app. Imagine my shock when I was logged out of the app the next day (I always stay logged in to avoid the hassle of logging in every time) and then I’m trying repeatedly to get logged back in and every single time it says my login credentials are incorrect. They aren’t incorrect because I saved my information in my notes. I’ve sent 6 password reset requests so far and I’ve gotten nothing back from them! What a complete waste of time and money! Thieves!

Where do I begin let’s start with your personal programs that you have added into your system with all the fake profiles the fake likes only to try to generate people to pay monies for things they don’t need like your meat meat program aside from that all of the prostitution fake profiles and your scammer profiles all from Guam and places of that sort or Ghana You also have a few people who try to put a party together for their local bar and a Call it a mixer for POF people however it’s a joke and 90% of the time it’s a sausage fest let me give me the first big reason why you put it in the slums of the city pub or a bar that has no class at all is it going to attract classy upscale nicer people people don’t want to go somewhere park the car and worry about it being broken into just to try to meet someone that you’ve never met before it isn’t worth the risk also you should have some kind a real program in there where people have to upgrade your profile at least monthly so we’re not having pictures from 10 years ago when they first joined this is just the beginning of My complaints as I’ve said in many of my messages I’ve sent to you to get people kicked off the site or even block them you should be paying me to help educate you on making your profile a true wonderful place to meet people because it’s actually more like a swap with all the fake profiles and the scamming that you yourself do as a company POF you should be ashamed of yourself
