My name is Markus and I created POF/Plentyoffish. When I created POF, I wanted it to be all about finding relationships with the right person. For the first 7 years this worked really well, I got the site to 10 million users without any employees people and POF was generating a ton of relationships. Around 3 years ago, everyone started using the website via mobile phones. Today about 70% of POF use is via a mobile phone and unfortunately about 2% of men started to use POF as more of a hookup site mostly due the the casual nature of cell phone use.
In sticking with my vision that POF is all about Relationships, I'm going to make a bunch of changes to ensure it stays a relationship-focused site.
1. Any first contact between users that contains sexual references will not be sent. Anyone who tries to get around this rule will be deleted without warning. This rule has actually been in effect since last month and it's made the site so much better.
2. You can only contact people +/- 14 years of your age. There is no reason for a 50 year old man to contact a 18 year old women. The majority of messages sent outside those age ranges are all about hookups. Anyone who tries to get around this rule will get deleted.
3. Intimate Encounters will go away in the next few months. There are 3.3 Million people who use the site every day, of those there are only 6,041 single women looking for Intimate Encounters. Of those 6,041 women, the ones with hot pictures are mostly men pretending to be women. Intimate Encounters on POF can be summed up as a bunch of horny men talking to a bunch of horny men pretending to be women.
In short the vast majority of people will not be impacted. This is because the vast majority of people are not going around spamming women saying "let's have sex tonight". I can't change POF alone, I need your help to get the word out there that POF is all about relationships!

I'm resolved to be alone.
Men with photos of their boats and motorcycles, scares me.. Men with pics of their kids or grand children, scares me..
Men who take pics of themselves in the bathroom scare me.
Men who say they are divorced and their ex's took everything scare me.
Men who talk about how religious they are scare me.
Those sites scare me in general. They make me realize that I don't want anyone's garbage.. And if they are going to connect me with people who are 14 years older or younger Thani am, then that scares me too..
For those of you who know how old I am, think about what they would want to hook me up with.. Damn, the man would be awfully close to corpsedom on one end and would be a baby on the other end.
Isn't there a way to set the ages t what you want?
I find online dating to be to much of a chance.. Just like online shopping - it's not usually my thing. I like to touch and feel the product before I buy it
I do know people who met their spouses online. One lasted nine years, but she wasn't that happy for a few years into it
The other one was with the guy for over 5 years.. She came home from work one day and the house was wiped out. Including all appliances and furniture.. Her bank accounts were wiped out too. BUT get this, they found him months later. She did not press charges and she went back with him..I have lost touch with her, don't know if they are still together or not.
Bad enough getting duped into a scam, add in being duped by a man claiming to be a women, that just sucks.
(((((( ( . )( . ) ))))))
Went on Match and Cupid with a paid subscription and it completely sucked!!
Aronia, thats the part that gets me, some have great luck and others none. The ex met a multitude.
