Utterly awful.
Scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Delete!!!

I met my husband on here ...10 years ago.

Very much so. Yesterday I struck up a conversation with someone, today he tells me he is in a non-monogamous marriage (ethical) WTF! Deleted and blocked. & Why are there so many men hugging pitbull/bulldogs? Is there anywhere to go to meet someone nice in your 40s?

Met mine too. 5 years ago.

I find it goes in phases on here. It's odd. You either gets loads and loads of message from complete weirdos - I was asked if I wanted a sugar daddy last week! But then I can have ten decent seeming men message me in one day.

I don't know where they are all hiding but there are some on there...

MysticPeg1 · 15/01/2022 21:28

Sick of all the horrible and unattractive men on there. The ones who annoy me are the ones you don't message back and they message you again saying "rude"

Yup just deleted my account from there....again! Nobody would reply to me and all of the mens profiles look as if they've been written by Neanderthals. I honestly felt so depressed looking, there must surely be some decent men out there? Lots of ranting angry profiles too which frankly come across as intimidating.

Plenty of fish, but most of them unsuitable for human consumption...

PoF... bloody awful. I "liked" or sent messages to a few women over a couple of months.
One reply.
Disturbingly many profile pictures were obviously duplicates and, perhaps because I'm a guy, pop up ads were softcore porn.
The mobile site is too much if a visual mess.
Complete inappropriate. And difficult to leave.
Anyway I've found Match to be much simpler, tidier and cleaner.

MysticPeg1 · 15/01/2022 22:15

Match you have to pay for though don't you?

Its apparently the worst of all the sites, but I know a few people who it worked for.

I'd say its largely dependent on where you live - I'm in a small town, so expect the same faces to be on all sites. In which case I'll take my chances on PoF.

Pinkbonbon · 15/01/2022 22:49

Not just me then. That site always made me feel like I could scroll through 20 pages and not fancy anyone.

I actually prefer tinder to all the payed sites too tbh. Bumble was alright as well. I tried match a long time ago and it was fine but I don't think it's worth paying for tbh.

But on tinder I'd say I could right swipe maybe one in 5 people. Because they seem normal. Pof...knuckle dragged alert imo.

It’s full of freaks and paedophiles. Envy

Sosigsandwich · 18/01/2022 15:28

I met my husband on there 8 years ago. He is without doubt the most wonderful person I know. Lucked out meeting him.

And now you know why...
JorisBonson · 18/01/2022 18:46

The only person I ever met on it (many years ago) was the most horrible racist I've ever had the misfortune to come across. That was the end of POF.
