How did you discover POF , were you told about the site or find it by accident.

And what was it that made you join..

I was actually looking for a pen friend site at the time when I came across it as I hadnt been on a dating site before..So thought what the hell, whats to loose by joining..

I'd not long had my pc so I decided to do a search and I found this by a total accident as I was actually looking for a different site. So I decided to join and I've been here ever since....!!!

Bloke I got chatting to on another site (Interrodate) recommended this site to me. I hardly ever look at the other sites I am registered on now, cos it's the forums that make this site interesting for me. And the people seem more genuine, on the whole!

Hmmm can't remember, have been a member for over a year now. Only really used the site properly since january. Out of curiosity i think more than anything, a friend mentioned it, and i saw on a poll it had come top 5 in best dating sites.
I keep an open mind really, don't expect too much and enjoy!
Have made some fantastic friends on here, some i've met, some i hope to meet too. I don't really bother with other sites that im on too. This is the best one i've come across, and it is most definitely the forums that make it so interesting, oh and the fact its free lol

How and why did you join POF.



I found this site by chance in November, was on it for a couple of weeks before I started going on the forums, now I'm sort of addicted

The reason I joined was because I never go out, I mean socialise in pubs, bars or clubs since I have stopped drinking. If I don't go out, how can I meet women??????????????

Anyway I'm not that bothered, because I still believe that it will happen one day, not necessarily on POF but hey?????????????????????????

I joined because someone recommended it, then found the forums and havent left since. Oh by god I've been here nearly a year now!! Get me out of here!


I would say that I have made some lovely online friends, and hope to meet some of them very soon.

My friend Phoenixgirl told me about this site, she had nothing but disparaging things to say about it though and our mate Ryan backed her up. But I thought I would give it a whirl anyway and I am glad I did because I realise I should trust my friends more than I do but more than that I have met a very special man or two or three who have entertained me long into the early hours and have proved to be most inspiring.

They have actually been the impetus and inspiration behind my latest artwork entitled "Burlesque in a Haystack, is it really like searching for a needle in cyberspace ?"

My ex started using dating sites and found some "friends" , which is why he is my ex! lol . As it worked for him, I thought why not. I didn't want to use the same sites as him, so found this one. I am glad that I did. I have had some fun. Thanks everyone

I started out on Girls Date for Free about two months ago and a very nice woman who I spoke to on there pointed me in the direction of this site and she had joined as well so we could chat on here for free!! Now I have made so many friends its great, but always on the look out for more!

A American friend of mine pasted the link to this site to me and told me to check it out. So as i did a profile of some american woman came up and he said to me "look at her, she's butt ugly isn't she" etc etc.

Well after having him being his usual childish self i thought i'd read up about the site and found that there were alot of UK members so i thought "just give it a shot, your single, your young, you have no social life, your shift wont allow you a social life so what have you got to loose?". So i joined in September and since then... made a couple of friends but apart from that... no dates, no sparks, not many people replying or sending messages so meh... Forums just pass the time since i'm not getting much else out of this.

I pestered a woman for about 6 months to get her to go out for a curry with me I succeeded in the end but she wasn't really my type and she ended up telling me about this site. In July this year I will have been on the site for 2 years and apart from picking up a number of new friends along the way it has done nothing for me really and it gets a bit boring now.

A friend told me about it, said she had seen a lot of people from here on, so being the nosey person I amlol I wanted to see if there was anyone I knew on here, then I found the forum, I may not agree with everything said on some of the posts, but I think you are a nice bunch of people, and I enjoy debating with you, even if things do get heated sometimes.

I joined pof 1st time round sept 05,my ex sister in law had joined and recommended it,

as i was single i thought why not,

I met someone and so left.....re-joined 6month later when it didn't work out.....

i met somebody else and left again......4 month this time

and now here i am.....back again

I never really bothered with the forums much before re-joining this time round,

but now i'm in here all the time,not really 'looking' as such for dating,

i am open to it,if it comes my way,but like i said,i'm not actually 'looking'!!

sleight in klein are you absolutely sure about that, as in this site has done absolutely nothing for you ?

Hasn't it enriched your life even the smallest bit ?

Punkinpie, I hope I am included in "the nice bunch of people" because I can't help but think otherwise, given the fact that you interrogate my posts so enthusiastically.

For me this site has had an upside and downside effect on my experience of reality but I won't go into it right now because if I did I would alienate too many people with my deep thoughts.

A former friend (while she was still a friend) recommended the site to me. She found her 'perfect man' so I thought 'nothing to lose' and joined in September 06.
If romance was all I was looking for, I'd have cleared off months ago but I've made some good friends, I'm addicted to the forums and I love the meets (even if the only ones I've been to so far are my own).

Still hoping for romance

I actually found it...by finding cookies & catching out an ex...

My first profile was a complete blag to snare him...

Then I noticed the forum...

And the rest is history.

I've never actually dated offa here ...you're all barking

I already posted a reply to 'HOW DID YOU FIND POF' in the off topic section....
so here goes again!!!!!

Really strange.... I wasn't looking for a dating site at all
...I was actually searching on the web for a linedance club in Wetherby, on the council information site... probably the last place I would have looked for a dating site but noticed the ad
.... so I clicked to see what it was about and that was it.... I was hooked!!!!
