| | Does this site really work?Page 2 of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) | | Yep, sure does. I've always been able to get a date when I've been inclined to meet someone from here. I know for a fact there are POF events not far from you. You should check those out. And for the record 2 weeks is nothing. I've first joined in April and didn't get my first date from here until August , but I had a blast at several POF events the entire summer | |

Posted: 7/20/2012 4:03:14 PM | | JoshuaT777 ^^^ This is completely in my opinion so take it for whatever it's worth. I checked out your profile and what you have written is great!!! There are a few misspelled words that you might want to fix because I know some women, including myself, always look at spelling/grammar to see how educated you are. You're an educated man so show those pretty ladies just how educated you are :0) Also, I know that when I'm looking for an educated man I'm looking for a clean shaven man. I prefer no facial hair whatsoever, except maybe a ghoti ( | |

Posted: 7/20/2012 4:42:57 PM | | I haven't read all the responses so I'm sorry if I'm repeating. I haven't met my soul mate here but I have met some great people and for whatever reason didn't work out. I went on many dates with fun people and experienced things I never have before. I went diving, fished in a decked out shanty , rode a Harley, drove the General Lee, dined above a city, ended up in a St. Pat's Day parade, and saw things I didn't know existed. Better...I made some really great friends. I just opened my mind and gave interesting people a shot. After a while I met someone on another site. It can work but really, it's a numbers game. So many people are here for a hookup only that it makes others feel like they need to hookup only but just keep at it. Best of Luck! | |

Posted: 7/20/2012 6:28:08 PM | Here's how it works: The Plenty of Fish Virtual Wet Bar Commercial: As seen on T.V!
Are you tired of the real life bar scene like millions of others?
Sick of the "games", "hooking-up" and just tapping at the 'floaters' you see on your aquarium computer screen and "looking"?
Seeing your 'fish bowl' life half-empty instead of half-full and need a refill?
Well you've made the right choice!
Welcome to the "Plenty of Fish" Virtual Wet-Bar! 
Here at the P.O.F Virtual Wet-bar you have the option of checking out the goods without ever having to leave the comforts of your own home, thinking about what to wear (we're all the "sexiest user" according to the staff), worrying about real life face to face rejection, paying for drinks (unless you visit our gift sending section to buy a complete strangers affections with a random, useless, virtual "gift"), waiting in line for a bathroom, getting your tush pinched by some octopus, or having to take a cab ride home at the end of the night! Hell, you don't even have to go home with or give your number to any of our patrons! Just add them to your Facebook Friends and Fans! It's all good!
At the Plenty of Fish Virtual Wet Bar we rarely check ID...and if we do..who cares! We can all be our fabulous virtual selves on here and put whatever age and relationship status we feel like! Including putting professionally shot pictures of ourselves or others from ten years ago! Who knows what endless possibilities we can dream up? You can even invite your younger friends! Everyone gets in the Plenty of Fish Virtual Wet Bar!
And if you get email harassed by some of our weird, possibly sitting at home drunk ., responders to your profile you can hit the "report user" button and have them removed from the premises by our administrative bouncer faculty staff in a flash! (***For those with young children at home we at the P.O.F Virtual Wet Bar call it “flushing the ‘fish’ down the porcelain water slide to internet heaven”)
***Disclaimer: We are not responsible for providing live music,dance floor, and V.I.P bottle/table service. But that's the beauty of the Plenty of Fish Wet Bar! You provide your own bottle service and always get to escort yourself to your very own V.I.P section of your couch! And if you don't like what's playing and can't dance? No need to act cool and stand around bopping your head to the music while staring at the pictures of the person you find intriguing on your computer screen! Simply shoot them an email, then get up from your computer chair, change the station, and “Dance like no one is watching” . Why...? Because they AREN’T!
We appreciate your business. Thank you. Come back soon!  | |

Posted: 7/20/2012 6:54:30 PM | i have been visiting pof for a few months now. got some emails, responded to them and some liked my photo kind of thing. but haven't met or really had any substantial conversation with anyone. yet
the reason i'm here is because i have to work long hours and don't get out much, but lately i have been putting more effort in getting out doing activities. so i don't rely on dating sites to find friends or dates.
i understand you can aggressively seek to date - by messaging a bunch of people, giving out phone numbers and/or asking for phone numbers. you might try that.
i don't think you need to pay for anything.. | |

Posted: 7/21/2012 10:35:10 PM | Am I on a different site than everyone else? I'm scared to remove the salt and poison I've spread on the doorstep of my profile. WTF is there some type of timewarp going on, or is my city devoid of eligible guys.
YUeah, the site works. Say what's going on, talk to people with something in common. I have to admit I've only met 3, and none are working out just this moment- of course its almost 2am,.we'll see tomorrow. | |

Posted: 7/22/2012 4:42:36 PM | | It does and can work, BUT there are alot of players and scammers, not just on this site but on other sites and in off-line dating as well. Two weeks is a drop in the bucket. Me personally, I met a girl on-line that I was with for two years and we almost got engaged, not from this site though. Last summer for the hell of it I put my profile up, a week later went on a date and ended up with that girl for 6 months. I got back in March, since then I've had 10 dates off this site, none really panned out, but the women were sincere enough to meet me. Now for the bad news, since March I've had at least 20 girls that I talked to on here, most I've exchanged phone numbers with, texted, talked about getting together then all of a sudden, nothing! One actually stood me up for a date and her excuse was she lost track of time. Most are still on this site too. Which tells me more than likely they haven't found anyone or at least not anyone serious yet. As you can see OP which numbers are the highest. I'm sure I'll get slammed for this, but many times a woman will give her number out or talk to a guy online she has no intention of dating just to stroke her ego!!! That is fact! Also, many, but not all women have unrealistic expectations on-line just like off-line. Don't believe me, spend enough time reading profiles and I'm sure you will come across the ones that have laundry lists in them of what their "ideal man" should be. Dating is hard! You have to be somewhat of jerk to do it otherwise dating or even trying to find someone will wear you down. Yes it can and does work, but remember, there are more players and scammers on this site than people that are actually serious about finding someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 7/22/2012 5:29:05 PM | | I think most people on here are here for a hook up. I have met some guys who I was truly interested in having a relationship with, however, they just wanted to "hang out" so definetly not a site that is strong in relationships. Maybe hook ups and thats about it. | |

what kind of success ratio do you have? ive messaged like 20 girls and i have received minimal responses.
Negative thinking emits negative results.
Yes, it works but you need to make every effort for it to work. | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 1:56:51 AM | | It works. Just be selective and make sure to read profiles. There are just as many wacko women on here as there are men. Learn how to see the red flags choose who you message wisely. That's how you get the best results. Don't just go by looks because a lot of the really good looking girls on this site (at least in my area) are Glenn Close waiting to happen. | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 2:21:33 AM | It seems to be cyclical.. Sometimes I go a few days with no inbox messages, and then some days I get 10 or 12 messages a day. Maybe it's the full moon or something.
Confidence is key, not desperation.. | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 2:22:41 AM | | It works, but it can take a LONG time to find someone decent. I've had 6 boyfriends, and I met all but one online, 3 here, and 2 on another site. This time around hasn't been very fruitful thus far. It seems that most men just fade away and stop writing, but that may just be my experience. | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 3:09:58 AM | | Yes I think this site can work. My eldest son joined POF about six months ago and met someone and they are very happy together. So there is hope for us all. | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 11:39:19 PM | I met a former fiance on here of 3 years. The site works, but her and i didnt and that can happen from meeting somebody on the street in real life to meeting someone here.
Ive also made quite a few friends on this site as well despite the fact we didnt click and theres never anything wrong with expanding your social network. Yeah, this site works. | |

no way, doesnt work at all. all women want is guys who look like model and has muscles and cash. ill get bashed for saying this but its true . 9 months on here not 1 date yet. women belittling me in messages back. its just a candy store for women. stopped trying, just here for the forums now.
full of shallow bitter women who want movie stars and millionaires. just sad. this site is not a place for a hard working down to earth loyal caring guy who wants to have fun in life.
Bullshit.;)
I am not shallow, nor bitter, nor did I come here looking for 'movie stars or millionaires'.
I am with a hard working,down to earth,loyal caring guy who has fun in life and met him here
3 years ago.You can give up and blame the "world" for your jaded view,but if you think about it,
that attitude is probably what keeps women from taking risks on you. | |
