Many of the same people that are on Lavalife are here in POF. I have been hanging out here for the forums. I'm glad I found this site, and I've recommended it to some gals that are just starting out with internet dating. Actually, I'm addicted to the forums. Can anyone help?

You can't compare!! I was on lava for a while, unitl i found pof. Forums, people, parties, discussions, all of it doesn't come close to what lava offers....and it is free! I have met people here who i know i will be friends with for a long time to come. Unfortunately people on lava didn't have the same "bond" pof rocks!!

i'm total not goin to metion how many sites i'v bin on lets just say more that ten 10 n only bein on here a short time PoF DOES rock it is the fastest to load even when i'm speed limited from my server to 28.8kbs from 512kbs cos of my downloads were exceeded and as for
as for the quality of people...............I have not met anyone that was not a decent person...........maybe not my match, but I think that takes time................

i know someone mentioned that paying would bring a better quality of people........but I totally disagree with that............
i think in this day n age with prices goin up so fast the "decent" people will flock just as the "decent" people who already joined here have done so,, i'm just havin postin prob's so ADMIN i'd love to hear from you thanks

Lavalife: Big bucks!!! Boo! That sucks cause I know i like to chat it up a lot sometimes
POF: Totally Free!!! Go bigfish go!!!

LL: Full of freaks and weirdos!!! Never going back even if they pay me!!!
POF: Full of fun ppl, some a tad bit freaky, and these weirdos are at least humorous!!!

LL: Plain and boring!!!
POF: Full of fun emotes and great get-togethers!!!

Gee you think my mind is made up!!!
Plus I also found a couple of great catches from here to boot!!! Keep this site free and i'll be here forever!!! LOL Well not forever, but I will definately continue to recommend this site that's for sure!!!

in comparison to other search engines i feel POF is lacking.
ie: when i put in male, brantford and an age range i should get results from brantford only.
currently this is not the case - i'd get a mixed bag of tri-cities, simcoe, burford, hamilton, london etc. etc.

instead of using miles as the search match on the back end why not the city name?

Well I was on LL but hated it. I've also tried CK and OKC but once I found POF I deleted my other profiles (kept my OKC one for the quizzes though).

And hey, I have a boyfriend now and I met him thanks to POF so I recommend POF to any single person I know

I tried LL and CK and ICQ. Didn't meet anyone from any of those sites. All deleted now and I've put many friends on to POF. Great site! Love the forums.
Hey - sign up for Hamilton's POF party!

I've been on Lava before. actually when I first started this internet thing and I must say Lava doesnt even compare to PoF....not even close...I had my membership suspended because "they" didnt like what I had written...Its like they're communists...you can only write what they like not what you want...and even more of a reason to be on PoF is cuz it's free!!!!

To be honest...I like lava a lot. The layout, the colours etc but the $$ nope. I prefer POF as the forums are great and the mods are right there to assist you.

This site rocks compared to lava!

It's free....which rocks!

The forums are great...no, no, no, amazing!!

And although I got smiles and messages on lava. I have had far more conversations on this site! Actually if I get any messages or mail on lava then I tell the guys about this site to save them the grief of paying to talk to me or anyone else for that matter! Someone once asked me if I worked for Plenty of Fish because I was telling him of all the perks!

I can talk forever on this site!! I have met the coolest boys and girls ever!

POF rules. I love it... I even have a sign on my car. Free is always better and we have parties. I would NEVER go back.

There's another site called Flirt.ca. They have a chatroom, which I wish this place did.....BUT...the problem with that site is now you have to pay for everything BUT the chat. I mentioned that POF had a cam option as well and I was banned for 12 hours. I've been there for a very long time. No where in it's "rules" or "policies" does it say that you can't discuss other sites, but it does state that if you are speaking basically in an unruly manner, you will be warned, after 3 warnings, you will then be suspended for 12 hours or banned from the site.
Because of this I do not go there hardly at all any more. I've also recruited some of them to this site...*S*
POF is a much better site by far!

Both sites have there pros and cons. The biggest pros for Plenty of Fish is that it's free and it has the forums. I also like that you can post more than one picture unlike Lava that has a backstage pass which you have to use credits to get granted access to those pictures.
However the layout for Lava I find to be better. There search engine is accurate and you can search any distance wether it's 5 miles or 150 miles. I also enjoy the smile feature. Why should I waist alot of time writing an email to someone if it's just going to be deleted. Atleast with the smile feature you know there is some attraction to begin with.

This site just needs a better search engine and the ability to expresses an interest without having to write an email.

Both Lavalife and PoF have their Pros and Cons. Let's face it: you get what you pay for. One thing is for sure: people on Lavalife have to, at the very least, be in a position to buy credits which means they can afford to do so (ie are financially stable). That, and Lava's search engine feature rocks. PoF has its own interesting features including: Forums, icons, social events and free *everything*. There's more 'weeding out' with PoF but at least the time and effort you spend is *free*.

POF is a community of friends where hook ups may happen ... Lavalife is strictly a dating site.

I honestly come on here to meet people and get out more. I like the fact that people on here can be original, funny and express themselves. Lavalife is more "what's your sign and can I buy you a drink?"

I like it here
