So I've had a pof account for less than a month. It seemed to be working well for meeting new people and I had hope for finding a woman to settle down with.

I was never rude, never uploaded or sent any nude pictures. Whoever runs this site is like a dictator in their little computer chair, just deleting accounts at random for no reason. Someone else said something about how if one of the lady's finds a man and settles down then they won't pay for their upgraded accounts because they won't need it anymore. They "found their fish", no longer need pof.

Its starting to make sense now when i see that the only people I've ever heard about who's accounts have been deleted are guys. I was meeting new people and getting to know a girl that I would have been great with. I go to login today and see what she wrote back only to find out my account has been deleted. Now I'll never know.

Thanks pof for wasting my time and deleting my account.

If anyone ever asks me about pof, my advice would be don't waste your time only to be let down and deleted. The people running the site are stepping way over the line with trying to control everyone on there.

Same thing has happened to me I been blocked i have tried off and on for 4 years no one will tell me why or give me a reason other than ....We can't provide details of the violation but we suggest you go through our Community Guidelines and Terms of Use. I cant seem to find out why, I don't understand why its so hard to give me a reason.

I often wonder if my ex did something to get me blocked. The site was wonderful years ago to find dates but i did notice a lot of scammers when I was able to use it.

Nothing like presumed guilty. I just find it frustrating.

Have tried to set up an account dozens of times to no avail.Either gets stuck or just repeats the same questions over and over.

POF is full of ridiculously picky unattractive women with incredible demands, offering nothing in return. They don't even fill in their profiles, they say nothing about themselves but only talk about the perfect man they want.

Things are 100% opposite on J4Flirt.com and you know why? Because women outnumber men there, so the men aren't so desperate, as a result the women are more feminine, open and friendly. They take better care of themselves, looking perfectly groomed and pretty.They have simpler, unspoiled personalities and adequate undemanding attitude. You don't have to be knight in armour or Rockfeller to be popular there.

But on Pof you have to be perfect,you have to put in every possible effort to gain their attention, but ask yourself a question, is it worth it? Don't lose you time and dignity, brothers!

While I can appreciate your accurate comments on the behaviors of the women on Plenty of Fish, This is NOT the place to keep spamming your Ukrainian online singles dating website. Please refrain from spamming other websites here.

POF has also deleted my account after taking my money and cannot get ahold of anyone to discuss

OK you will have to call your debit / credit card company and tell them the card is lost, they will issue a new one and Plenty Of Fish wont be able to charge you any longer. Never join any dating apps or websites owned by MATCHGROUP / IAC Corporartion, they own almost all of the dating apps and websites now.

If you read reviews about most of the dating apps and websites they all have problems with accounts being deleted for no reason at all and people being charged money for an account they can no longer access. Do yourself a favor and avoid dating apps and websites if you can.

POF also deleted my profile for no reason. OKCupid is a better one

OKCupid is owned by the same company that owns Plenty of Fish. That company is Matchgroup / IAC.

That company has bought up many dating websites and dating apps and then modified them all to be less user friendly and to maximize revenue through advertising dollars. The reason for the deleting of profiles is simple. They have no shortage of new people signing up and the people that do get deleted they produced advertisement revenue for a short time before getting deleted. It's all about the money, they have no interest in anyone finding a mate and then leaving the website voluntarily, If that happened then that person would not be on the app or website producing advertising dollars.

These websites ALL us bots and scams to get people to pay a subscription or to upgrade. The scam goes like this "Someone is interested in you" BUT you need to upgrade to see who it is or communicate with that person. So the person signs up for a subscription or upgrade and then magically that person that "Liked You" disappears. If you say something they delete your profile and keep charging your credit card for an account you cannot access.

Create your account too fast - deleted, copy and paste messages - deleted, another user reports you for whatever reason - deleted. Stay far far away from online dating and dating apps on your phone, it will only stress you out, make you depressed and steal your money.

My account has been deleted for no reason as well in less than a month. I am a woman looking for a man. Never uploaded banned images or sent rude messages Rubbish site

Guest

totally agree with this! They just seem to delete people at random and dont bother to give a reason!

Also, I think people have a right to defend themselves.

If someone is being rude I think it is justified to respond back in kind. POF is a joke!

PLENTY OF FISH site is really for hard up people who cant find someone in their own area because that person is flagged. My buddy was a drunk.

So he found a drunk on POF and now you have two more drunks on the road. In my personal time with POF. It is like a dicktatorship. Everything is about money with POF.

Men pay and chicks are free. What a rude set up. I do have an account on POF. I have not seen it in over 9 months.

I find writing pen pal chicks in prison more fun than dating a gold digger on POF.. Gold digger is a girl who makes you pay for her fun, big dinners and she pays nothing.

They want men to subscribe mostly. They mainly make almost 100% of their money from advertisement revenue.

If you copy and paste to create your profile they delete you because you did it too fast.

If you don't subscribe they delete you and even if you do subscribe they delete you also and you don't get your money back and they keep charging your credit card. Avoid plenty of fish it's basically a scam website ran by thieves.

Iโ€™m a woman, I paid for 6 month 6/27/2021. Never did anything rude or improper.

Starting from 7/3/2021. All of sudden all my messages I sent out were deleted right away. And I couldnโ€™t receive any messages anymore. There is no customer service number I could call.

No response to my emails to ask fix the problem. The thing real pissed off was the people I was communicating with would just think I am rude and disappeared for no reason, but Iโ€™m not like that!! POF sucks!

Zero customer service. I would give a -10 if I could.

Its probably because you were messaging guys way younger than you. They restrict age differences.

Yet, the 16 year old girls in Canada can post a call girl add.

Well that was in the Calgary times in 1990. With their phone numbers posted.

POF just deleted my account today and they wonโ€™t tell me why . All they say is I violated there community rules.

Which I never did . I also never did upgrade my account. I was contacted by one person which she left me her email and phone number. I sent her message back .

When I try to sign in because I had a few women like me .

My account was deleted permanently with no warning . I am trying to challenge the banned

You need to read the other comments on this website. There are a lot of pages of comments. The comments will tell you what's up with the deletions and plenty of fish.

I'm a woman, did nothing, was polite when I shouldn't have been and my profile was removed with only a vague explanation referring to the guidelines. Not helpful!

Especially when I didn't do anything. And the app glitches and I get messages that I can't reply to, or only to some. It has caused problems for being able to meet guys I'm interested in.

What the heck?! How is this a dating site if it doesn't work properly?!

They don't want it to work properly. The deleting of profiles is being done on purpose, most likely for financial reasons.

They want you to subscribe or go to their other PAY website match.com. The mobile app what they do is send you fake messages saying this person is interested in you so you tap the link and your phone's web browser takes you to a plenty of fish web page where advertisements are loaded.

The advertisement is how they are getting paid, In other words it was a scam to get you to click a link so they get paid. Online dating is full of scams, schemes, spammers, loonies, hackers, and *** You are better off going to social events to meet someone.

There is a clause in POF that if you respond to another site your account will be deleted. You need to grab a dozen eggs, go to their location and egg the cars in the lot.
