Plenty of fish
Plenty of fish is the worst dating service provided on the internet. The women don't want to chat. The woman won't return any messages. This is a rediculous site if a man is looking for a woman. It is really sorry that anyone should have to use this site to get a date. I guess the women are just to good for a real man. They just wanna play games and thats all. A word of advice guys, don't use this site.You are better off just looking on your own. Do not trust this site. If you wanna find a woman that's worth a ***, try a different site. You get what you pay for. Remember, this is free, so it's no wonder the site is as bad as it is.

They keep deleting and blocking me no reason
i did nothing wrong on singlesnet, same goes for plenty of fish, i think they don't want a real guy who isn't a player/cheater on their *** sites. it is just pure ridiculous and if you think I would pay for their *** sites you have really got to be on some kind of ***. *** bunch of folks...be smart and spread the word, they don't care about their customers, all they care about is $$$...thanks for reading my complaint. i are pissed...they want a bunch of girls on there who pay big bucks for their service, or I shouldn't even call it that, and they don't want them to find someone, that would mean they wouldn't need their joke of a dating site anymore. purely ridiculous. i am sick of them. i think i will start my own site that is way more user friendly and "truly" 100% free... which they all claim they are, they are a bunch of liars and thieves praying on people. thanks for reading.

Dear sir. I dont mean to bust your bubble.
But those are cops out there lying to the public as they are looking for more people to fill the prisons with.
Do you realize those offenders are those the prisons focus on because .....they never fight or cause problems. While the others fight, cause problems, run gangs and makes the guards have a harder day than the meek would create.

Woman Beware. Don't become a statistic!!!! Plenty of Fish apparently does not screen anyone. Chatted online and spoke numerous times with a man, we were going to set up a meeting, and of course I would never meet someone without knowing if they are for real or not. So...

POF ALLOWS LIARS AND CHEATS
I was chatting and talking on the phone and internet with a man, of course seemed to have all the right things to say, we had decided to meet. Before meeting anyone I needed to check him out, it ended up he was using a fictious name, along with that he said he lived in one city, when finding he lived in another. When I called him out on it, he told me I had issues. All I have to say is Ladies Beware. Always check them out before meeting up with them. Protect yourself don't be a statistic!

POF.com (Plenty of Fish) Dating Site
I have grown weary with with the lies and deceipt of the online dating communities across the world. They have proven to be the biggest guise for greed, arrogance, deception and falsehoods about what it really takes to be in a genuine relationship with someone. The majority of the people who create online profiles on the dating sites are nothing less than a bunch of selfish individuals, who look for too much perfection, monetary significance, and egotism in a potential life partner. It has proven that people set way too high personal standards regarding what they seek in a life mate. They are into all of the television, media and interpersonal lies that are portrayed to the mass population. People either forgot how to think for themselves or they simply became so foolish and selfish, that they don't care about anyone else but themselves anymore. The New-Age marketing techniques used to exploit the minds and emotions of human beings nowadays, has played a significant part in shaping what we witness today in dating (especially online dating). It is extremely sad how idolizing appearances and facades intrigue the minds and hearts of people to the point where they lose simple human ideals and values. The online dating communities nowadays harbor the lost people who set extremely unfair and overrated standards for their potential mate. There are attractive females, who only look for flashy men with money (whether they are attractive or not). The majority of the attractive women in the online dating scene also wait for guys who present ***, childish and egotistical pick-up lines to get their attention... all based on negative traditions carried on for generations. It is not to say that many men are not guilty of nonsense also. Most men seek females with cute faces and nice butts, who are naive and who play like they're innocent, but who are ready to put out for a nice night out or with the right BS talk and deception (sad but true). I have witness hundreds of female online dating profiles on POF.com and other dating sites, where they claim to want to be with a good man, yet when they are approached by a genuinely good man, only seeking to take them up on their offer to be with someone who they will love and who will love them, they ignore the attempts or play the men out behind the scenes with their friends or family and make a game out of it. Meanwhile, truly loving, attractive and genuine people are sincerely trying to meet a good person online to spend their lives with because they feel so lonely in such a selfish world. I have also witnessed cases where unattractive, overweight and sloppy females go online and assume that just because a good, attractive man goes online to find love, that they would be interested in them. Those types of unattractive females make it a bad situation for the men who don't want to simply tell those types of females like it is and put them in their place... Those females cannot land a man through traditional dating and/or meeting men, so for some strange reason, they think that will change online. Then, those same types of females get angry at the world because they chose to be sloppy and become overweight by eating too much and feeling sorry for themselves, while not even trying to lose weight. Those types of females don't take any consideration in how they look on the outside, when we live in a world where people idolize appearance of another human being regardless how messed-up of a person he or she truly is on the inside. People have been brainwashed to think like this for generations and some people just can't help but follow the trend or end up feeling lonely and hopeless... I have experienced all of the aforementioned to the utmost on POF.com (PlentyofFish.com), as they have been around for quite some time. Unfortunately, POF.com only tricks guys into thinking that by upgrading to a paying membership (since you start out with a free one), that you will be quickly and thoroughly exposed to attractive females who are genuinely looking for a loving relationship with a simple man. Their gimmick is that the upgrade is BS and you don't get anymore exposure then you would as a free member. Also, you still have to deal with the BS female profiles like I described above. The attractive females who show on the site are mostly inactive, arrogant, egotistical, looking just to play games with innocent men to make themselves feel more attractive, or probably already found someone (whether through POF.com or not) and never deleted their profile because POF.com doesn't give you a clear option to do so. Most dating websites at least give you the option to delete or remove your account, whereas POF.com seems to leave this feature out for some reason (or make it well hidden), so that it looks like they have a ton of members to choose from. In fact, many online dating websites use this deceiptful tactic to trick unsuspecting people into joining and eventually upgrading. But... the ultimate gimmick on POF.com, is that females get to join and communicate FOR FREE and they make the men pay... This gives females who join their site the perfect opportunity to show just how spoiled, arrogant and egotistical they really are. The majority of the women on POF.com have no real initiative of meeting the men who join only to experience their nonsense. They simply think that all they need to do is post a profile of them looking cute and waiting for men to chase after them, so they can play the numbers game of "process of elimination" and be unfairly and overly-selective in choosing to communicate with a man who would think they are wonderful and a good match, after reading their profile and the facade BS that the women post. The ***-artists at POF.com have some nerve in operating they way they do (just like the tons of other online dating websites). I remember years ago when they first started, they actually had a phone number to call for Customer Service. Now, they just money-grind like the majority of dating sites out there, who's only focus is to trick men into spending their money by "upgrading" for a bunch of unworthy and selfish females. And, once you pay for that upgrade, they try to claim, "No refunds," but if they don't refund your money, they are subject to fraud and can easily be sued. They are a registered business after all. Make sure to always check if a dating website is an actual registered company before you risk throwing your money away. Make the fraudulent and money-grinding online dating entities take full responsibility for the lies and deception that they promote to consumers. This is the only real weapon for innocent people who truly want to have a loving relationship in this crazy world full of a bunch of arrogant, selfish and egotistical people, who must think that their behaviors are somehow justifiable. The lack of genuine love and "down-to-earth" relationships creates some real turmoil in the world, aside from everything else there is to deal with in life. I hope people start to wake up very soon... A good start would be to stop feeding into the falsehoods of New-Age media, marketing and lifestyles and definitely stop being followers (like those who think Reality TV is genuine human entertainment). There are genuine New-Age things out there, but they certainly are not publicized in mainstream media, and if they are, then do your research and find out the truth about them on your own. Also, be sure to think twice before you buy some subliminal about loving yourself or attracting the perfect mate because you have no idea what those types of programs are actually imbedding into your mind. They could actually be shaping your mind into selfish thought-patterns. I have learned that nothing good comes from being selfish, but unfortunately, too many of the world's population already fell for that trap and refuse to change for the better. I hope that at least some are enlightened by what I have shared this day and turn themselves around for the better. I did go off of subject a little, but it all relates to how people have a tendency to think in the online dating communities. I have come to realize that one of the best ways to experience love is to be open-minded, to be willing to love someone who genuinely loves you (if there's attraction of course and not based upon egotism) and to be willing to work at a real relationship (with love and personal growth) without all of the drama (high expectations) about sex and what someone can do for you... Also, just a suggestion to the attractive women who might read this and disagree because you are in denial... you might want to think twice before you look for a man who can satisfy your selfish desires... it's not all about money, muscles, flash, hype or a big *you know what* (whether some magazine or women support group told you that or not)... and if you continue to think that way, don't be surprise if your body is found stuffed in some suitcase and tossed in a river because you chased after the flashy, trendy, money-man with some clout and a big *you know what* or exercised your ego to the point of going for what other foolish and selfish women want and pushing aside the loving and genuine man who would truly love and appreciate you... If you are unsure, then learn patience and learn to be a better judge of character nowadays and stop following media hype, magazines, blogs and falsehoods that only promote the ratings of the networks that produce it. Overall, women get with program and stop thinking a relationship is all about sex and certainly realize that you have no real control over men just because you have a body part that men desire... Get over yourselves and stop using online dating communities to stroke your selfish egos. Also, POF.com needs to promote better services to prevent a bunch of liars and deceivers to use their site as a tool to mix with loving and genuine people, who really want a relationship and not be into traditional dating anymore because of all of the drama behind it. I used to feel bad for how women have been mistreated throughout history and/or neglected by men in the past, but now I have come to better understand why women can oftentimes get treated as poorly as they do by their men. Women need to take a step back and learn to choose the right man (instead of the flashy and trendy man with money) and love him with all of their heart... like in the "good ol' days..." I guess online dating and the way women behave nowadays, is like a karmic vengence of women who experienced bad relationships in the past. However, vengence solves nothing and only creates a vicious life cycle for the people involved. So, again ladies, get over youselves and be the loving, nuturing, supportive and wonderful creatures God made you to be... I certainly understand how tough women have experienced life throughout history, but revolution allows so many a better experience in life and many women (especially within the United States) have been given great opportunities to be so much better in today's world.

Plentoffish dating site
When I first put a profile on it was fine but things have changed its like a user site noone is for real. The men lye about everything. I even had one tell me thats what he is hear for. He showed me alist of names and numbers from the site he has of women he just uses for his own demeans. That this is what all site like this is for. No one takes them serious. I believe that they need to revamp the site and make sure all players male and female are not here.. I dont believe that they take pride in there site any longer either. It has gone to the dogs.

PlentyofFish, LotsofCrap (for users
The following is a (mostly) objective review of PlentyofFish.com, written by a 24 year-old former user with reference to a sample of users ages 20-29 observed for approximately five months. The reviewer has been described as "very good-looking;" one user described the reviewer as the "cutest (*insert gender here*) on the site." I joined PlentyofFish.com because, to be perfectly honest, I've had my nose to the academic grind for the past six years, and am now, post-graduation, finally getting back into the swing of social life. I thought PlentyofFish.com, and internet dating in general, might provide a fun and easy way to meet new singles, and make, at the least, some new friends. This is what I observed. In general, profiles were poorly constructed; most users in my age range (20-29) wrote an average of one paragraph (5-7 sentences) of self-description, and said descriptions were generally riddled with unattractive grammar errors (e.g., "hi my name is ____ i like too party and chil with my friends sound good? plz write"). Of the few extended, more well-written profiles, most were arguably narcissistic, and subsequently as unappealing. In general, extended content offered insight only into users' opinions of themselves (as opposed to specific likes, dislikes, experiences, etc.); proper grammar correlated with verbosity. Curiously, these profiles were generally accompanied by a primary photo in which the user was not smiling. Regarding content, most profiles were strikingly similar, although this is likely a consequence of their general brevity. Most common likes included "going out," and "having fun." Most users expressed partiality to activities involving alcohol consumption. Most users were unsure of their reason for joining the site. Younger users (30) were more likely to present a multidimensional self-characterization. Many users, male and female, plainly state "no creepers," etc. Many female users report receiving multitudes of sexually explicit and otherwise upsetting messages from male users, including photos of genitals and requests for sex. After numerous conversations with users, I can say with some confidence that male users with appropriate intentions may be greatly outnumbered by male users with inappropriate intentions. In general, approximately 50-75% of users of both sexes appeared noticeably unhealthy. Female users most often presented photographs taken from a peculiar angle in which the user looks demurely up toward the camera held by the user above herself at arms length. The user's forehead and eyes appear greatly enlarged. The resultant photo resembles a space alien or toddler. Male users seem to think a picture is a picture; a photo of their nostrils' interior might as well "do the trick." The reviewer is pleased to note that s/he spoke with at least two superlative users over 30; however, the reviewer is 24, and does not feel inclined to date users older than 30. Overall, with respect to users under 30, the site appears to be loaded with half-assed, often unappealing profiles written by individuals who a). would, honestly, rather be meeting people the old-fashioned way, b). seek mass adulation, and/or c). are already profoundly skeptical of online dating, none of which is conducive to establishing a single, worthwhile relationship via online dating. Thus, I cancelled my profile, and am now pursuing more traditional, actively social means of meeting friends and potential dates. In conclusion, based on the sample observed, the reviewer cannot recommend PlentyofFish.com for users under 30 who seek serious relationships. The reviewer might suggest that young singles continue to do what they have always done: get off the computer, volunteer, go to a church, go dancing, build a network of like-minded people who will introduce you to other like-minded people, and meet Mr./Miss Right face-to-face, in a context that you will both remember with fondness.

Wake Up! Everybody!!
All Dating sites, better known as sex sites are just that and it is all about the money. These rip-off artists spend all their time trying to figure out new ways (lies) to get you to join and they do put fake profiles and sexy pictures of women to entice the Men. Then to get off these sites is a act of Congress! It amazes me how all of you keep feeding all these sites filled with married people, not to mention people in so called relationships already, with one partner being kept in the dark, then again maybe not....I find that women are catching up with men in that department. All these sites are geared to protect the quilty.....more money that way! In my oppinion Singlesnet is one of the worst dating sites and should be labeled a sex site.....Men profile themselves as looking for a serious relationship, then you meet in person and basically get propositioned....."Your place or mine", but to be honest I find that to be the case on all of them.

Hardly a sane balanced view. No wonder men get tired of women on POF.
What an over reaction by a woman who clearly has significant psychological issues needing urgent treatment. I always wondered why so many women seemed to have negative image of men - now I know where the problem lies.
This dumb man-hater is so ignorant, she can't even see how her attitude continues to propagate the poisonous hatred she has for men. What a shame there are so many women like this on POF.
