Plenty of Fish

How do people here get on with dating apps?

Ive tried POF and initially everything was fine and had a few nice dates and a couple of bad ones like everyone else I suppose but it was serving its purpose. Then I had a series of bad dates which culminated in a date with a guy who had lied about his height 😏par for the course I suppose. The date was short ( my choice) and I politely let him down on the messages. I was then blocked, totally, and I can’t access the site!

I presuming it’s him that reported me, obviously Im not certain but have absolutely no idea why. But even the telephone code thingy doesn’t work.
What other free dating sites/apps do people use & how do you find them, are they any good?

I tried POF, my friend met her husband there but when I showed her it she said its worlds apart from what it was 9 years ago.
I'm currently seeing a wonderful guy I met on Bumble and I like that it's only the women who can make the first move

I've not been on dating apps in years, but it's not as simple as one is good and one is bad. A lot of people are on several dating apps. There will be people looking for committed on all apps. The problem is a lot of people saybthey are looking for something serious when in fact they aren't.

I am happily single and doubt I'll ever bother with a dating site again. I had a few long term relationships from them but really can't be bothered now. If I meet someone, great. If not, that's fine too.

Myself and three friends all over the years have met our now partners on tinder. It is not the site you use I guess it is the person you meet and there are a lot of weirdos out there sadly.

I met my DH on plenty of fish together 10 years married 6 ☺️

I met my husband through Facebook dating. It was relatively new then. He was the second person I went on a date with!

This is annoying me intensely now as I had a few chats going and I really dont want to appear rude!

I just can’t log in contacted pPOF nothing!

if anyone is prepared to set me up an account I’d be very grateful

pm me

Why do you need someone to set up an account for you. Can’t you just make a new one. You can get a new gmail account in seconds if it’s the email that’s an issue.

I’m on Bumble - had a few good dates so far and the men seem, on average, more attractive and less weird than POF!

Met my ex on POF 10 years ago and even then I think it was seen as a bit of a cess pit, but everyone was either ok Match, POF or tinder. Match you had to pay for, tinder was hook ups and POF for cheap skates pretending they wanted more than hook ups. These days they’re all much of a muchness I think

DS met his GF on hinge and said that was good. But I didn’t dare go on there as I know some of his friends are on it looking for Milfs 😂 I like that on Bumble the woman has to make the first move, it can attract lazy men who don’t want to bother, but it also means you don’t get inundated with unsuitable messages - you can only chat if you both swipe right on each other and then he has 24 hours to respond or the match disappears. There are some paid features if you upgrade but it’s perfectly usable for free.

The only downside is the number of men who mansplain how it works “can’t see likes - you have to message me”. Yes I know mate. That’s why I’m here!
