"I joined POF about 2 months ago I now apparently have 20 ladies that want to meet me.I am unable to message them unless I upgrade.I would like some advice as to weather I should upgrade as I feel it’s too good to be true. About 15 years ago I had a similar thing happen on a adult website as soon as I upgraded I stopped getting messages and no one responded to my messages.I am not a fan of recurring billing as the last time I was unable to cancel on the website and ended up having to call a long phone number to cancel.I am not tight fisted with money but I don’t want to be conned.Any advice and experiences of other POF users would be appreciated." they will message you if there interested | |||

"They are fake because the message is always the same 'Hey You ' or something akin to that, however if you check your email notification that tells you someone want to meet you, the username is in there then all you do is sign out of POF, go to your inbox without signing in then you will see a username search box into which you paste the name of the person who 'wants to meet you' and hey presto the profile is there." You get a 'hey you' message when a woman has show interest in you it's just like a wink but shows as that message,I remember using it yonks ago. I don't think guy's can do it. | |||

Bots and people in Philippines paid to create false profiles. On sites like that guys are the income, women the product. Sorry to say it but it’s true | |||

"I was an upgraded member on POF which allowed me to see who had looked at me - I saw one day that Eva had viewed my profile and mailed her - the rest is history and it was the best 80 quid I ever spent in my life " That's brilliant, nice to hear a happy ending | |||

"Likely they are 'bots' - fake (but plausible looking) accounts automated to send messages to people who might just be on the verge of quitting the site (or otherwise not parting with cash!) Of course, if your profile pics on POF are of you sitting in your lambo with a suitcase full of cash, some of them may indeed be real women who would love to meet you. " Agree | |||

Those 20 women may only potentially want to meet. The meet me function is yes/no/maybe. I never click on yes but the maybe. The member then gets informed it's a yes. I wouldn't bother upgrading - I'd just look at who viewed me and then assess :D | |||

"There are always ways around finding out that stuff on POF. Don’t bother upgrading! " . I have found out that by checking alerts you can see who wants to meet me then go back to meet me and sometimes that is within the first 3-4 pictures you see.I was advised by this by some one on this site. | |||

"It's a scam . They churn out loads of these 'want to meet' and you havn't even sent them yourself ! Not sure but women can't even read the profile without upgrading for money and now of course you can't do a name search either . Pretty crap site in my view " . I have recently messages from women saying Hi when I respond it gives details of a website saying there are women in my area that’s when I know that perhaps it’s a scam.I have received messages from a couple of ladies and I have met one of them twice now. | |||

"I deleted my pof. Too many messages telling me they knew me from fab, if I didn't want to meet them on fab I certainly wouldn't meet them on pof. I got fed up with the nudge nudge wink wink kind of messages, like I'm doing something I'm not supposed to by being on fab. I have nothing to hide, sadly a lot of them were married or partnered as well. " Ya that's happened me me a bit can be bit creepy | |||

I'm a very fortunate guy on here..have a large group of friends from socials, clubs, etc..none of the ladies message first that I know of lol" If a woman wants to choose the guy she's most attracted to on here, rather than simply pick from the ones who messaged her, she'll message first. Guys who attract female attention tend to get a steady influx of messages from women. This is such a better way of connecting with women that they'll often stop messaging women and enjoy connecting in this way. If a woman wants one of these guys she'll need to give him a sign she's interested, be it a message or a wink | |||

All fake. I joined, but never added a profile. Literally all they have is my email address and password, yet every week apparently 10 ladies are interested in my profile according to the spam they send me. Wouldn't mind but only joined to help a friend out by taking a look at her profile. | |||
