This site is free unless you want to pay the small fee to have a gold star under your name to indicate that you’re a serious member. Members with this star are very few. The site is constantly going through changes, many bad some good. With the many tabs and sub tabs it doesn’t make for a new user friendly experience. Trying to reach the forums is currently a tricky task. However the forums are not a very friendly place. It's been mentioned on many other review sites that the forum admins run a dictatorship and generally favour the female community regardless if they are guilty or not.
Men literally need to watch EVERYTHING they write or risk a ban brought on from a vindictive women who happens to disagree on a comment. Typically anyone asking for advice will get either their post removed by the community or some person telling them to stop whining. The irony of the forums is that married or non-single people mostly women will use them to belittle the single men. Again this has been noted on many other review sites.
As for finding a match, I cannot say what it is like for people in other areas but it seems like women in Ontario have superficially high standards. If a man does not look like a Hollywood star and is as rich as one, expect to get many unread/deletes from your mails. It does not matter if you are contacting average looking to hot women it’s all the same response. Women on the site tend to be rude. I've come across profiles to which they list just "looking for friends" and on their profile have some form of "write me and say hi!" And yet when you do you get no reply in return. Either read or read/delete or mostly unread/delete.
I have other guy friends on this site and they all have experienced the same thing! Plenty of Fish seems more like a site for women to get their egos swelled. Don't believe me? Look at all the pics of women showing off their boobs or are wearing provocative clothing. And yet they wonder why some guys are asking them for sex.
Plenty of fish is free and unfriendly. Manners mean nothing to women. With the women to men ratio, it makes it very difficult for a man to meet a woman. You’re better off to try a different site, Plenty of fish will just disappoint you.
Review from a man and his other buddies and their collective experiences from using Plenty of Fish.

Sometimes another thing that goes against us is they assume we are players too which girls have directly told me they thought i was because I look good.
I remember years ago it was so easy to get white girls. I guess the times have changed lol.

To get the most out of POF, you need to find out who the active members are. Do a basic or advanced search and you can see when they were last online. If you just click on the random photos sprinkled across the top of every page, which makes this the ugliest website around, that info doesn't appear.
Do yourself and the person you are emailing a favor and read the ENTIRE profile so you don't waste their time and yours. Don't assume that someone who finds bald men unattractive, for example, will make an exception for YOU!
