Anyone can send messages on Plenty Of Fish even free members! It works as a text messaging feature rather than email.
Profile quality
Profile quality is pretty good. Most users take the time to add a profile picture and a description of themselves. Then, you can write a headline a short sentence designed to catch the eye of other singles browsing the site.
It is pretty important as your profile could get missed in the vast sea of profiles already on there without it.
The POF app is available on iOS and Android devices in 11 languages and 20 countries worldwide. In addition, 90% of the site’s traffic is mobile, making the app super handy for on-the-go dating.
The app is straightforward and features the same functionality as the website, and it’s worth a download. In addition, messaging on the app is 100 free and has many features to help you start dating.
App features include (all free):
- Advanced matching algorithm
- View matches, sort by last online, newest users, and more
- Send and receive unlimited messages
Real-life reviews
I was on POF last year, hid my profile, then came back on the 
site in hopes to meet someone genuine, honest, SINGLE, educated, established, and looking for someone to be in an exclusive relationship’ with.
After 2 weeks of being totally disgusted with some of the emails and lack of education with most of the men….my intuition told me to stay on it a couple more days before hiding my profile once again.
My intuition proved right. I received a message from a gentleman, who lived in close proximity, and we exchanged numbers. I spoke to him and was relieved he was able to articulate well and had a sense of humor.
After a couple of conversations, we agreed to meet at a restaurant and hit it off immediately. He was tall, dark, and handsome! Not to mention the chemistry and compatibility!
Needless to say, it’s been around 5 months now and he has treated me like the QUEEN I am! He’s considerate, affectionate, and a great lover! He’s the last thing on my mind when I go to sleep at night and the first person in my thoughts when I wake up in the morning.
We have met each other’s family members and have been out of town on trips…he is very liberal with his cash and spears no expense in making sure I’m happy and having a good time. We are also in the process of planning a trip out of the country in the coming months.
I am writing all of this to simply say, there are good people out there if you give it a chance. But also, be conscious enough to use your common sense when you think someone is scamming’ you or just trying to knock the boots’. You’re old enough to know not to waste your time if something just doesn’t smell right!
I have found my Prince Charming…or shall I say, he has found me! I’m the happiest now that I have been in a relationship for a long time. I know he will definitely be in my future for a very long time and I’m looking forward to our road traveled together.
