Review: POF uses fake profiles
Markus Frind found out the perfect way to keep members and increase members. Frind hired customer service people to create fake profiles. Fake profiles are usually short with no "interests" listed. The fake profiles are filled with grammatical errors. Of course there will always be genuine posers behind fake profiles. Just beware of anyone attractive designated with hundreds of admirers.

Review: Good Members but terrible ownership.
I realize it's a free site thanks to the owner... but just because you own it and offer it for free shouldn't mean you can take a big crap on members. I opened an account in late 2007- they deleted it. I reopened an account in September of 2008, they deleted it. I reopened an account on January 2009, they deleted it. Finally I reopened an account yesterday, Feb 4, 2009, guess what just happened! I use no profanity, no nudity, not even a hint of sarcasm... Honestly, people, how did they become so big if all they do is play stupid games like this!!!

Review: Plenty of Nothing
Basically, it’s trashy. The forums, the admins, the clients are all low rent. I hope people will boycott the site.

If your an educated, urban woman don’t waste your time. All you will get is a constant flow of sex laden emails from everyone on the site. The forums are filled with 50+ older women who spend their time insulting men. They look like hillbillies.

Here’s their gimmick. They know that women are the bait, so they let women display just the most trashy profiles, pictures and thread posts. I mean your looking at trailer park trash at best.

Don’t even bother. The admins look like homeless people, unkempt, illiterate, ugly men. This is how one of them writes .... mY jOb iz tO moRitOr. Totally pathetic site.

Review: PoF: I met my wife on that site
The only reason im even taking the time to write this is because i accidentally (through another site not related to dating) had a link to a piece on this site saying that PoF was a scam.

Well, i met my wife on that site and have had nothing but good exp with that site.

Of course your going to run across ads that aren't entirely true, or maybe someone who doesn't post real pics of themselves.
Although this has never happened to me, i can understand a complaint about something like that, that was mentioned in the other review.
But lets be honest, you're going to run across that at EVERY dating site.

Anyhow, they don't take any personal info from you like a CC# or SS#, they don't spam you, you don't need to sign up for any amount of time, you don't have a very rigid communication method (yes, im looking at you Eharmony), and its free.

I dont know how you can beat that seeing as its free.

Anyhow, i haven't been on the site since i met my current (and only, haha) wife... so if some of this isn't true 1.5 years later. I apologize.

Otherwise, i think this is a great site.

Review: Not for me...
This site is way too messy for me. I don't like the look of it and it's very confusing finding anything here. Same goes for trying to find someone on the site.
