Tokens (1.99+ per token) are boosters for your profile. You can use them to send super likes to other members or to be featured on POF’s Today’s Catch List
A premium subscription may help your profile get more noticed by other users and it may be worthwhile if you’re really seriously dating, but POF still has plenty of features you can use for free. This is great because then you can try it out for a couple of months before you take the plunge and subscribe.
Pros of using Plenty of Fish:
Plenty of Fish gets a lot of brownie points from users because of its free messaging service. When done well, messaging allows people to have meaningful conversations with each other. Another pro is that some users have a will respond badge on their profile, so you can ensure that your messages won’t go unnoticed.
Plenty of Fish’s search page lets you search for profiles from all over the country, which can be beneficial if you’re traveling or moving to a new state. You can also filter out matches based on what you’re looking for (something casual vs something serious), age, lifestyle, and background.
While most dating apps make you set these preferences while you’re setting up your profile, POF makes it easier for you to change up your searches based on your wants and needs.
POF is of of the most popular dating apps with large numbers of people to connect with. Users include single moms, single dads, those looking for friends with benefits or serious relationships, cougars dating younger men and more.
Cons of using Plenty of Fish:
At a first glance, I noticed how many profiles and messages I got from people who aren’t based in NYC. Getting messages – no matter how quality – from people around the country or world is not helpful if are not actively seeking a long-distance relationship.
POF’s free messaging feature makes it really easy for members to get unwanted and sometimes inappropriate messages. That’s why POF offers suggestions on topics to talk about when you’re messaging other members. The company also realizes is ready to block accounts reported for inappropriate messaging.
There’s a lot happening on Plenty of Fish. With profiles appearing everywhere and different options to meet people, this dating website may feel overwhelming for some people. Plus, while the app does resemble some of the more popular dating apps, it still lacks some modern features, such as connecting your Spotify or social media accounts which is standard on other dating sites today.

So you gave Plenty of Fish a try and didn’t like it. I found that out of all the dating apps, this one was the easiest to delete. Here is what I did:
