| 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. |

When you make a profile or a thread post on POF and you happen to de-mote or run down internet dating or the results you've been getting from the site, you get banned and deleted. You can only praise internet dating and POF when you are on the site. Think about it? What is so free about that? |

I was a member of POF for a couple of years and also participated in the forums, where I met some genuinely nice people. However, late last year I started seriously corresponding with one forum member who gave the impression and appreance as well rounded crafsman and musician, his name was Akimmbo. After a couple of weeks of writing back and forth I said we should meet and he was very hesitate and said he thought it would be very romantic if we waited until Christmas, I thought it was odd, I even offered to fly down to where he lived, but no he wanted to wait. We continued to correspond for the next two months, which in hindsight was very unwise on my part, but I did. Finally Christmas arrived and the person I met was not the person in the pictures and I know that a look of shock was on my face because he asked if he looked like his picture and in being too stunned to answer, I said yes. In his pictures he was a tall man with golden hair and beautiful blue eyes. Well the blues were true, the man who showed up was short, with long hair (as in extensions) except for the top of his head which was completely bald, which I didn’t know because he always wears a hat or some how covers his head. If that wasn’t bad enough, the only way I can describe him is as a dirty old hippy who smelled very musty and his facial hair was so long that he would chew on his moustache. During his visit there were so many horrific moments I was in shock and I couldn’t believe I had such a bad choice. Some of the highlights were: He didn’t flush the toliet, he lived in his car, he had beeen arrested a few times and he had been put in a mental institution and it goes on and on. The reason I am telling this story is because, POF is now going to have an option where you can pay. The only thing you get for your money is a gold star next to your name. I wrote in forums that if the are going to charge they need to carefully screen their members so people like Akimmbo cannot pull his hoax on other women, at the very least no photo shopped pictures should be allowed. As I said I was a member for a few years, but after the nightmare with Akimmbo, I could not longer stomach being on POF and I quit. |

I am on plenty of fish for a while and I noticed that most of the pictures of men on there are not clear not clear,its so annoying,can you please tell these men that they need to post clear pictures and how they have to do it,please give advice to everyone on how they can scan clear pictures because im not even going in and looking at the profile if the picture is bad and whats up with making these pics so small,you should make it so women can just go page to page on large pics,i just can't stand looking,its not easy on the eyes,you try ,you try it for 20 minutes and you will know what im talking about. |
