Are Plenty of Fish and Tinder just hook-up sites now, or do guys actually use them for dating? (Page 2)

Question

I'm using both Tinder and Plenty of Fish to try and rectify my current (and extremely long term) single status... but I'm starting to think I've got the wrong end of the stick with them... are they just for hook ups now, or do guys still use them for actual genuine dating?

I sure hope not. My wife and I met on plentyoffish and it worked as a connecting point for us!

I tried to use Plenty of Fish for two years to find an actual relationship, but almost all of the women I encountered on there just wanted a hook up, so I never ended up meeting anyone from there and deleted my account.
The two that I met that did want a relationship and we had enough in common lived too far away.

i have a guy friend who met his fiancee on pof; they've been together for almost 3 years and got engaged last Christmas. but that's just one story~ i'm sure there are equal parts both.

I tried. I got fed up of writing hundreds of messages - not the same generic shit either, I read their profiles and wrote something personal each time - and getting zero replies. Not even the courtesy of "Sorry, I'm not interested" or "Fuck off ugly". Just nothing.

If that's the way girls want to act on there then I'm not surprised they can't find what they're looking for. They probably just deleted Mr. Right's message without bothering to read it.

i'm going to say 90% of the entire internet is guys looking for hookups. This is true of dating sites as well. Just gotta sift through it..

I've Tried both... and I am using POF again. Reactivated it yesterday. HOWEVER... no matter how hard I try to get to know a woman and be honest with her... IGNORED! So... It's a losing game for men who actually want something.

red324 · Answer

I seem to have better luck finding girls on tinder than pof. I don't do hookups so if they want that they can hit the road with their skanky ass.

MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah · Answer

Well it depends, you get a lot of guys on tinder looking for a relationship, but a lot of Fuckboys. Genuinely it's the latter

TheFlak38 · Answer

It doesn't matter for what they are since women don't reply to any suggestions, hook ups or dates.

doctorwhofan23 · Answer

Actually I am curious since I am I kind of am considering online dating.

Vostock · Answer

I used them for dating but no one I messaged ever messaged me back.

Words_and_Wisdom · Answer

Tinder was never a dating site. It's always been a hookup site.

Anonymous · Answer

PoF is full of crazy people, myself included... Most people there seem to be 100% sane via texting, but when you meet them in real life, you realise why they're still single.

blackeagle007 · Answer

They both suck. Guys like me are looking for relationships but never get responses to messages.

realityphil · Answer

POF and Tinder are online versions of clubbing - a place for women and attractive guys to hook up. If you're looking for a girlfriend and if she has one of these installed, run for the hills.
