| 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. |

"There may be one good guy on there, but then he would not last long since he would be scooped up." ----- Gonna have to disagree with this. I'm one of 9 guys, that was using POF during the test cycle of a major project. We are all quite well off, financially, in POF terms. All well educated. All at least decent looking enough to get attractive desirable women in real life. All fit. We had a very hard time getting responses from women on POF. Seems to me most women there are falling for the BS from other guys who are not what they say they are. We can't help you, if you can't figure out the BS. However putting enough info into our profiles to indicate the money part, worked quite well. We were honest about it, but it is just text on the screen, no reason to believe it, anyone can type it in. That's why we didn't bother, initially. Anyways with the financial info on the profile, lots of interest, but that's not all that endearing .. so we just deleted the profiles. Women create their own problems on that site because they are too status hungry, or overly vain on the looks side. The reason why there are not many good guys on the site is simply because women drive them away. I agree there are a lot of guys full of BS on the site and a lot of guys that's been on POF for years. But it's very easy for me to spot those, I don't understand why women can't spot it as easily. Maybe because women want it too much, they are more prone to believe it. Most women on POF are indeed looking for guys out of their league, so it's not surprising women fall for the bait and switch so easily. What you should do as a women on those type sites is present yourself as a selective women of character. Then the good guys will find you. You don't demonstrate selectively by demanding what a guy must be for you to be interested. You do that, by standing your ground, with the assumption that guys will figure out what you what. After all, if a women is great wonderful etc., is it really necessary for her to state it? Anyways, that's the approach good guys use. Look for that. But as you can see from above, that approach doesn't attract many women on POF. As I said, most women on POF are getting exactly want they asked for, unfortunately it's not what they wanted. Maybe if they ask for something different, they'll get a different response. Most women on POF spend their first few months there chasing BS. After a womans been on POF for a few months she may as well delete her profile. No good guy will chase her after that. |

Grow up! If women don't put what they want and don't want, they end up with trash - like BCFDE14 jerk who lies about smoking pot, cheating on gf and using prostitutes when out of town, not to mention taking her money and never paying her back. And that guy seems pretty typical for the serial dater who finds a nice gal but it takes her a while to figure out what a creep he is deep down. Manipulative men are good as hiding their real selves and can behave for a few months. But the truth will always prevail. I would never go on another online date - all the men are crap if they can't even find someone to date in person. Sorry if the truth hurts. |

Grow up! If women don't put what they want and don't want, they end up with trash ... ---- NO WAY ... you grow up! POF isn't a place that women should use if searching/hoping for a relationship. There are a lot of less than desirable guys on that site. Most decent guys really wouldn't associate themselves with that group. If you choose to use POF for relationships, you really do need to elevate yourself well above the slime and muck of POF ... if not decent guys will just skip your profile. That's hard to do for most women ... anything in your profile that suggests you're NOT meeting the type of guys you deserve will send decent guys away ... A requirements list is one thing that will make most decent guys skip your profile. Your story is pretty common for a lot of women that use POF. |

You guys are all wackos! There's no one way for each scenario.. Stop lumping all guys in one or two categories! Just because the site is free doesn't mean the guys are cheap! Maybe they're sick of paying for the same features they can get for free.. You think guys who are willing to pay $30 a month are any different than the guy who's doing it the free way? You're all sadly mistaken if you do! I know plenty of guys who don't mind paying a few dollars to "bang a hot chick" as they'd say.. |

You are right - the guys are whackos! And many categories of whackjobs. But all are cheap. And anyone giving out advice online needs to STFU as women don't believe your nonsense. This is why online dating has turned into the nasty business of hooking up for free. POF, Match, Singlesnet, etc. will all go away soon. Their main appeal is for sex addicts that need their fix. Not many meaningful relationships come from online dating. And its the same jerks on every site... every free site, lol. |

I am from england, and ive started to see a trend- most of the BS guys are from te states, the ones i have spoken to and even dated from the UK are all nice guys, so i would rate POF highly. |

The guys on most dating sites are the bottom of the barrel. Truly, if they cannot find a date in real life, then who would want to date them at all? They try to jazz up their profile so they seem nice and normal, but after a few emails or meeting a few times, you can tell they are losers. Stay away from all dating sites, unless you are a loser too - then its a perfect match! |

Just shut up...you and every woman on Plenty of FATasses.. is looking for a free meal.. |

Fat ass? That is the best you got? Free meal? So lame... I'm sure you are broke and cant afford to feed yourself or your cats. No real woman would expect you to pay for her meal. Real women take care of themselves and their kids. Too bad the men cannot say that. |

you guys sound like a bunch of bitter old bags. keep getting picked up by scum? there's obviously something wrong with either you or your profile. i'll admit to being a total jerk in my profile, but that's okay, because i was honest about myself and what i was/wasn't looking for and i've been some of the most awesome people because of it. if you don't have the sense to do that, why don't you go to a bar, a "club" or the freakin grocery store and talk to someone face to face rather than hiding behind a computer screen, hmm? |
