| Review: | Worst men on the dating scene You know POF is free, so the men are cheap to begin with. Most of them are broke, ugly, fat, druggies, users, liars, cheats, criminals, abusers and worse. There may be one good guy on there, but then he would not last long since he would be scooped up. Be very wary of the profiles that have been there for years, or reappear every few months. These men are serial daters and have personality problems, as well as pot or alcholol addictions. Be very wary of a jerk that lives in Calabash, NC and goes to Baltimore, MD often. He is a horrible excuse for a person and is a pathological liar. Comments [ 10 ] |

| Review: | For Play Only Short answer ... If you're interested in trading off multiple sex partners with others doing the same thing, POF will provide that for you ... IF as a guy you date down a little bit. Otherwise ... it's a useless site. Comments [ 1 ] |

| Review: | POF Works - at least here in Belfast! Having had an active POF profile for the last three months, I can attest that it actually works. Sure, a lot of profiles are dodgy, but most seem genuine, and applying common sense, I've met several lovely people (and someone particularly special). I couldn't ask for anything more from a dating site, especially something that's totally free. Maybe all the negative comments above stand as testament to the POF userbase in the relevant area (US, etc). Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Fakes all the way 'round 1/3 of the profiles here are fake anyway.....ever write to guys too handsome and educated to be here yet you get a read/deleted right away?? Decoys... Many are gags, last week, girlfriend and I created a profile of a 35 year old hot chick who was pure nympho...she had a masters, senior VP of a bank, and liked golden and brown showers, toes sucked, everything under the sun. Yet, none of the 8 pictures of her matched. 8 completely different pictures of women, varying in age 25 - 50 years old...small boobs, big saggy ones, blonde, brunette, hell, we even threw in an asian.... in 24 hours, I read 322 emails from the GTA, all wanting to meet, and no one picked up the fact that there is no way a senior VP with an MBA would prosti tute herself like that, and none of the pictures matched. About 10 even gave out their phone numbers....others yelled when the email was read deleted, calling me names....they got the "Call me then at 41 6 XXX XX XX number that the others had furnished...:laugh: Nothing is ever what it seems in this world my dear...go to daterater.org and read up on PoF, about how the real purpose of this site is to make money by selling that email adress you provided to spammers....did you notice an increase in junk mail lately? They have hired hindus to extrat pictures of people - hot people - off the web and create fake profiles around them...all are in sales, marketing, glamour jobs, severely good looking people who cant get a date? Remember the ones who were on 366 favorites and would never reply.....yeah, decoys to get more to sign up, the ones who add you to favorites but never write, making you think there is someone out there...more decoys... Man, one day, you should see if santa and the easter bunny are real! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Not getting deleted again on PoF! I have to say, this site is interesting for many reasons. Fake profiles? Yes! Losers? Yes! Opportuists? Yes! Moochers out for a free meal and drinks? Yes! Man haters? Absolutely YES! Just read some of the responses here. The bitter angry man hating women who were dumped and want to take it out on the world LOVE the PoF forums, and even here, they spew their bitter venom at any man who calls it as he sees it. Just like real life. Weed through the bad and you will find the good ones. I've had numerous dates over the years. Even learned to play the sex game. Took me a while to figure the place out. School of hard knocks, basically. Take your lumps, learn, and move on. I had my profile deleted many times because I refuse to suck up to the bitter boozehags, defend myself for my words and actions, and *poof*, gone! If 8 - 10 people block you, your profile will get deleted, because it's YOU and not THEM that has the problem, got it? :) :) The site is absolutely full of hateful bitter angry jilted society rejects, and they will take it out on YOU! Here is how to start again. When your profile gets deleted, PoF places a cookie in your computer, in the cookies folder. This folder is generally hidden and even harder to find in Vista. Do a google search on how to find that folder and delete this cookie! Otherwise, when you redo your profile, it will read the cookie, compare it to the list of people blacklisted, and delete you again. Your email has also been blacklisted, so go to yahoo, hotmail or anyone else and create a new email account. Use that email to set up new profile. If you just write fhrgt@cfhvhf.com, the welcome email will bounce back and your account will be deleted for being fake. Upload new pictures. There is metadata in pictures, camera type, date taken, i.d. number such as DCSF4236.jpg, and it compares those to the database as well..and will delete your account. I once had mine deleted because one image showed me in front of a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, a blacklisted country. Some admin saw the mosque and figured I lived there, and deleted my profile and account. I recreated it, using the steps above. A month later, all was fine, I uploaded that picture of me and instantly the account disappeared. Those are the backdoor rules of staying alive and not getting deleted. If your profile is gone, follow the steps above to get a new one, and remember to save the page first, "File --> Save" from your browser so you wont have to remember what you wrote. Also save your favorites list so you can re-connect with the new profile. Comments [ 0 ] |
