I don't care who "checked out" my profile.

I get that POF is motivated to have the site seem more active, but being notified on my phone that someone is viewing my profile? It's ridiculous. Why should I care? And to pollute the "interested in me" section with everyone who viewed my profile and did not send me a like, well it is just pure noise with no value at all. I am a paying member and will not be renewing.

My account was banned for no reason and they won’t even tell me why.

I tried emailing them and asked them multiple times what happened but all they say is that I broke the TOS.

I’ve heard this is common with POF is there anyway to actually contact them and talk to an actual person instead of these automated ai responses ?

This site is a scam. Do not give them your money.

When I first joined POF in 2010, it was a fairly decent site where women usually always replied to your messaages, even if it was a 'No thanks, but you are not what I'm looking for' type of reply and I had quite a few dates on there as well as the site having a generally positive vibe.

The site seemed to go downhill after around 2015 and now in 2026, the place is an absolute haven of dystopia with women who are skanks and also a lot of fake profiles.

Reading many of the profiles, the women have an extremely deluded ideology, as well as demanding and self-entitled and only want a bloke who is extremely attractive, must be at least 6ft 2 ins tall, muscular, be extremely confident with zero emotional flaws and must have a decent job, own house and car - All of that yet most of these women are far from attractive (especially in their personality/attitude) are rude, arrogant and have a list of issues a mile long.

None of the women ever reply to your messages now and don't even look at your profile despite many claiming to 'like you'.

The site now only allows you to send just one message every 24 hrs - unless you subscribe of course (£££)

Even if you subscribe, you are greeted with exactly the same results as if you was a non-paying member - Absolute Jack Zero.

A truly horrible place now which is just about making money and messing with your emotions and mental health and I advise any decent, single guys to avoid it and stick to the pub, supermarket or library instead as this site is now run by money-grabbing men-haters !

Every single woman wants Prince Charming, the man of her dreams, and won't settle for anything less than someone very hot, very funny who is over 6 feet tall.

When you look at the standard of women who are demanding such things that isn't going to happen

They refuse to compromise, and rather than being happy and giving out good vibes on the site, they spend their whole time acting unfriendly, rude and telling you they can't see likes.

Hardly the best way to attract someone is it?

If they're that bad now imagine what they'd be like if you met them?

Is there a site (not an app, I dont do apps) that ISNT owned by match.com?

Match.com bought-out most/all of the dating sites ...is there one that isnt owned by them? (no apps[not into random hookups/STDs], I dont have a cell phone[super hard to believe but I dont...give it a go, its very freeing])

Help please- underage account from years ago

Hi, just posting on here so i could hopefully get some reassurance. I created a POF account 7 years ago when i was underage (a child). I used a strangers email and my phone number at the time (that I’ve since changed). I obviously no longer remember the username or password that i used (or the email because it was random).

I believe i used a fake name and photo at the time but cant remember (which makes me worry that i put personal things on the profile but can no longer remember if i did so or not). I remember i deleted the app (not the account which was a mistake) on the exact same day i created the profile. And have not been active ever since.

This is a mistake that I’ve carried anxiety and worry over the years because i was never sure whether the account was still out there. I have read that plenty of fish privacy policy (under GDPR since im in the UK) states that they close accounts after 2 years of inactivity, im just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with accounts that have definitely not been active in years ? Or are just a couple of months.

I emailed safety@pof.com yesterday after i finally managed to find the old phone number used to create the account (i changed it a couple of years ago). I have now asked them to clarify whether or not any account linked to that number is still active or not.

Sorry for the long post i guess im just looking for some reassurance ? Thanks
