POF : Pof has changed for the worse big time
I use to love pof it was such a fun site before, used to message girls and get messages back pretty easily, that was like a couple years ago. I just noticed lately that using this site is so much more work then it used to be, I mean have the girls on there become extra picky or something? Like literally no one responds, and when they do they barely put any effort into it at all, I feel like I’m doing all the work trying to keep the conversation going. Like I’m not the most out going guy at all but I mean the girls on there dont even put the effort in at all to make conversations. And on top of that you have all these limits when your a free user, you cant even see who viewed your profile anymore unless you upgrade, is this something new? Just used pof last year and I swear I didnt have to upgrade to see who viewed me. What the hell happened to this site? And on top of that most girls on there are saying they just want to be friends and not have a relationship? Like why be on a dating site if you just want friends lol. God its irritating lol. Hope I’m not alone in thinking this way.

Honestly I wouldn’t believe what other people say when it comes to that. I would be ecstatic if a girl made efforts, I mean it’s not a one way street you know? Wish every girl thought like you I mean seriously
Oh yeah it’s terrible now. I was on there a few years ago and you could see who viewed you.
It sucks because I like blue collar men, and most of the men on Bumble or okcupid are white collar dudes. So I didn’t really use those sites much.
Most of the blue collar guys around my age were on POF. Sigh.
The site is not free at all, you cant do anything really on pof without paying.
i can still see who viewed me if i’m on the website, not the app…up to the last 3 …
but yea, don’t have the best profile on there, but when i get to chat with the women on there via their messaging, it’s like i have to be extremely entertaining and even then, 2nd day, they just disappear.
Just was chatting to another girl on pof, sent her a bunch of messages her messages were like one word replies really irritating, so blocked her lol. Sick of putting in the effort with people who seriously dont try at all
Ya I’ll basically echo what alot of others have said. Was on this site 7 years ago and talked to plenty of women, had conversations going every day pretty much. Profiles were long and well written too. I even met my now ex wife on there. Now its a wasteland unfortunately. Alot of women who apparently want a guy who looks like Jason Mamoa, and won’t settle for anything less. Personality, interests, and values don’t mean much anymore, as no one bothers to read profiles. Women on here seem to just want attention and validation, the barely respond to messages and when they do its one word answers that eventually lead to a dead conversation. And yes you have to be an entertainer for them, and come up with amazing opening lines or else they really won’t bother reading the message, as they barely read them In the first place. I see so many damn profile with things like « be original, make me laugh, don’t be boring ». Like holy shit, why is it only on the men to cater to these ridiculous requirements?
And don’t get me started and these profiles with nothing on them, and I get half the users on here are bots. But whats with the lack of unique interests? If I see hiking or walking on the beach one more time im gonna lose it. Not really, but the site is hopeless for guys unless you have movie star looks. Even then what you have to choose from is a bunch of women who either are uninteresting, have kids, are scammers/bots, or really have no intention of meeting up.
Just to give you some perspective, Id say I’m above average looking, good looking even. I can get attention from attractive women in real life, but on the site I average a 5 or so likes a week, mainly from overweight women, or trans(nothing wrong with it, but I’m clearly not interested) or bots. Every now and then I’ll get an above average like. I send out maybe a few messages every other day. So maybe like 7-9 a week. I’ll get 1-2 responses out of those. I’ve been on the site since September, and I’ve had ONLY ONE conversation thats lasted more than a couple days where I thought there was a connection. Then she deleted her profile out of no where. So thats what I’m paying for 8 months of. I’m the idiot for signing up for this joke of a site.
Yeah It’s changed for the worst,Like the above poster said I think mainly the abs change because a lot of women just wanna go on the live feature. For example I match with a woman on another dating out there told me she goes live with friends on the live feature and I thought to myself well I text her I said what are you looking to meet in the real world and pursue a real world connection. It was all crickets after that no reply and this is her phone number I texted. So it shows me a woman like dad‘s attention span is that of a squirrel only looking for attention inflated ego in Insta gratification and that’s just one woman that seems like every woman notches on plenty of fish just does not wanna talk or whole conversation it’s all about the guy doing all the talking and caring a conversation the women don’t carry composition at all. It’s really sad it’s no wonder why a lot of men are single and can’t find what they want because he’s dating apps are a waste of time they’re all about taking your money and giving you nothing back I’ll promise of love to take your wallet and your credit card to shred it like they took all your money it’s all commercialization and corporate greed going toThat would hold conversations years ago. I remember 6 or 7 years ago I had all kinds of women I would get to talk numbers go out and date and actually go out in the real world now I’m lucky if I get a woman to give me their number and if she wants to talk on the phone most that’s very rare.
Who would pay to use POF?
It’s like paying to get an up close and personal tour of a landfill.
It’s a free site. What were you expecting? The cream of the crop?
