This is a site that decides who can message you and who you can message in return - regardless of what the people want, POF consistently discriminates and plays the role of dictator. Kinda like Hitler, Markus - or whatever the owners name is - is a racist and he should jailed for hate crimes!

To begin with, I am an Indian origin male even though I am a Canadian.
I successfully created my file - reached out to few girls and got some messages. One of them even made plans to meet up and another one wanted to hook up the very same night and I could not.
Anyway, the next day when I try to log-in: My account does not exist anymore! It was frustrating as I was to confirm the meet up plan with the girl. Since it was my first time using it, I thought may be due to some weird technical reasons, the account got deleted.
The next day: I created another account using a different e-mail i.d. because they won't let me create one with my older one (which btw was very decently named). I spend long time creating the account - uploaded a few pics (some of them were the same as before). I get another e-mail confirming my account. To my surprise, it gets deleted AGAIN! It was so frustrating and racist.
I am not Caucasian and my Caucasian friends did not experience this trouble even once! The website managers/controllers/operators/whoever are definitely racist! They discriminate and many of you may think of explaining and giving technical reasons but unless you experience it yourself, there's no way to actually feel the truth.
Another detail: You don't get an e-mail, a response - anything - you just simply get logged out even if you just signed in like a minute ago!
Why give this illusion of "open-mindedness" if it defeats the purpose intentionally?!

I have to agree. It's not that I don't date within my race, but I do date outside of it. I noticed that all of my chemistry matched are black women. Again, not that I'm mad, but seeing how I do date outside of my race, have gone on plenty of dates with non black women from the site, and in the chemistry test there is nothing that says I want to stick to only women within my race, my conclusion is that the site is purpously making black women chemistry matches. Also, I get new notifications in my e-mail inbox about new members who would be perfect for me. All black women. Again, I'm not mad, but it's just odd that. You're going to tell me that not one hispanic or white woman is compatible with me. Especially since in a recent poll, 87% of the American public is for interracial relationships and marriage.

I have been told several times by white women on POF "I don't date ###s" - In spite of reporting these racist women, only MY profile was deleted. I've made a few profiles since then, all are deleted not long after I make them. Clearly black people are not Accepted on POF - not only is racism towards black people tolerated; the Owner Markus, seems to play the role of white Knight; protecting white women from evil black men (their racist view of us) --- this site must be stopped.

I also noticed that my account gor deleted once white women started to contact me! Not man y people of colour are aware that Plenty of Fish admin and owners are racist. I suspect other dating sites are taking our money and fixing who gets out mails!

I use dating sites a lot in the past and I have always noticed how it was the fat white women that emailed me. i thought white beautiful women were racist until I realised that POF closed down my account. Now I suspect other dating sites of manipulating the same outcome despite taking our money. I always knew something was not quite right as I am without bragging decent looking. i turn heads on the streets so why not the internet?

POF/Markus is definitely racist. Without a doubt. I'm from India. I tried many times to create an account, I couldn't get past the captcha. Even though I typed the letters UNDER the circles (in small caps), I couldn't go further. Frustrated, I told my brother who's in the US to create an account for me. He was "surprisingly" able to. I was able to log in, and messaged a girl too. The next day, when I try to log in, it says my username/password is invalid. When I choose "forgot password", and enter the email I used to register, it says we have sent you an email if your email is in our database. I don't get any mail (checked in spam, etc too). When I try to create a new account with the same login name, it allows me to proceed (which means they have deleted my account). Hey Markus, you s*ck, your creation (POF) s*cks, you're one top class Nazi, you'll burn in the Auschwitz of hell!

The comments here are 1000% correct. As a Black woman, i never came off aggressively or insulted anyone and had landed 100+ likes in about 4 hours.. well my account was then deleted TWICE. Pof/Naz Markus is going to burn in the lowest level of hell. In the meantime, we all should start a movement to get then banned or investigated as a whole. It's 2022! Why tf are people still focusing on race when we're all of human race? MARKUS you're probably a single, ugly, bitter, salt daddy pos preying and hating on those you secretly admire.
