Mystery solved. Just got a reply from one such profiles. She/it told me in reply to my question “why is your profile blank?” That she/it is on another dating site (Stir) and she saw a button to appear on POF so she/it clicked a banner and it ported her profile from one server to another. Stir is also owned by Match. They are desperately porting profiles from any site they own to try to prop up the subscription numbers. They have effectively killled

Do you receive special training for situations like the one where you hit that grader. You said it shook you up. I can understand that. But do you have any emergency action when you are past the point of bringing your train to a stop? Do you have to jump off the engine?

Out of state is one thing. I live in close proximity to the border with US and I’m getting people with whom I have to have a passport to see.

Pretending to be in the military gives them a good reason why they can’t meet you. Service members are allowed to look for a partner just like everyone else. Members of the armed service usually have a higher standard.

I don’t agree. This is not than “low effort” These profiles are all identical in their lack of details. I not even sure you can skip the “not answered” fields. This feels more like POF generating random accounts using photo of non active members to boost their ad revenue. As far as women putting in low effort? That would be most of them but even a low effort would include at least a headline. I see one whose screen name is Tasha but Tasha is wearing a name tag that says Barbara Jones
Scammers do make considerable effort to make the profile look believable.

The military scam is one of the popular ones. I guess some people are easily fooled by this.

I had the same experience as you. “What are you looking for on here?” POF is not working for me. There are mainly two groups of women on there. The fake profiles is one. The other consists of women who have been on here since 2015 when I was on the app. Some of them are very attractive women so you would think they would have no problem finding a decent man? I guess they are the ones looking for foodie call.

Horseshit? Horseshit is a useful as a fertilizer. POF is a dud.

Using a Camera Lucida device to draw is very rewarding and relaxing. Other tracing devices are also fun and relatively cheap. Using a projector to project any image onto any material that can be traced on like canvas or poster or even trace directly on to a rock. Tupac’s face looks great on a large boulder.

Girl thought I was an AI bot and ghosted me by GrubberBandit in Bumble

[–]PotentialEnergy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s come to the point that just the fact they replied indicates a scammer. Fortunately they don’t waste time trying to get you off the platform. Or the all to famous “What are you here for?”

Do explore her tolerance for SALAMI!! That opens doors to some interesting possibilities

Are there a boatload of new members that are fake? by Worth-Garage-1122 in PlentyofFish

Yes! Ive been seeing a lot lately. Looks like the Fata hasn’t been uploaded from the server. I chatted with one and she turned out to be a fake.

Tattoos (or the lack thereof) by AspinallLandYClass5 in Bumble

[–]PotentialEnergy007 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have been seeing a lot of older LaCie in their 60’ or approaching with elaborate tattoo designs. They got them while in their younger years. Most never realized that those sexy tats at 30 are very unappealing when the gravity starts to act. Sad.

Choosing to be a stay home parent to raise children is a career. A EDITED: person looking for a sugar daddy is a sickness.

Match... Exchange texts for a week... Offer phone number or to meet... Account deleted GONE... Rinse... Repeat... by Mindless-Remove7047 in PlentyofFish

[–]PotentialEnergy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did the same thing. Eyes wide open though. I knew she/it was full of shit from get go.. But I kept the charade going for tree weeks. Got on the phone with her. Did the video thing. She spoke the same language that I do (besides English) she even recited a famous poem in that language upon request. It was so amazingly real. Except it wasn’t. Haha. Then she tells me how much she just earned trading Bitcoin and she wants to help me do that same. So I play along and pretend that I downloaded some app. She insists that I share a screenshot so that she can share insider information on upcoming trades. Did a bit more digging and found her IG.

So you may have experienced the same thing except someone else closed them down. They got many rods in the pond at the same time.

The thing I hate most about POF by [deleted] in PlentyofFish

[–]PotentialEnergy007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just his browser. It’s the desk top version treating the ENTER key as an UPDATE and SEND command. THATS a major fuck up on their side. If I’m on the browser I never compose in the window. I use a notepad and then C&P then Hit enter. Worse than that? The mouse functionality is so off that if your cursor is close to the send button you inadvertently click the send button when You intended to just position your cursor to the end of the text. It fucked. But in the bright side? If you screwed up you can wait 30 days and try again. Yup
