Plentyoffish.com?

Plenty of fish.com is a free dating website. I don't have $60.00 to do match.com for a month. I think that's crazy! Anyway, has anyone heard anything about this site? How about men who want your phone number cuz they can't type well. Should I be concerned? I don't want to be overly paranoid but the last thing I need now is some psycho chasing me around. (I just broke up with one- HAHAHAH)

Anyway...just wondering if anyone had any experiences with this site. Thanks!!

K.

I'm on Plenty of Fish and have had decent luck with it, I just went out with a really nice guy from that site last weekend (and we may go out again once he has enough time for another weekend date since he's busy with work right now). Match and Eharmony haven't worked well for me lately so I'll let my subscriptions expire and stick to POF and CL, I get the same results there without paying $$$ out my rear :P.

$60/month for Match? Really? I paid $120 for six months total an that included that Dr. Phil thing that I haven't used a bit! The regular rate for 6 months would have been $90 which comes to $15/month. Hmm. I wouldn't think they'd charge different people different rates. eHarmony yes, they do charge $60/month, but Match is more like $20 even for month to month.

As for POF, I think that probably being a free site that you will have to weed through a lot more to find good ones but that like any site, there will be good and bad. I think a lot of folks go to the free sites because there is more to choose from. It's definitely worth a shot. You can meet the psychos on any site although I have had more psychos and liars from Craigslist (another free one) than any other site but on the flip side, I have met more guys in person from CL - most of the ones I met were good, decent guys, just not for me.

Vex - Thanks for posting the match info re cost. I was thinking of trying it again but I thought it was more than $20 a month. I know, I once said that CL was the only one I'd use from now on since it's free - but I say a lot of things :)

I looked at POF but there weren't many guys in my area and the ones there seemed to think it was a sex site.

Yeah, on Match I signed up for the "Find someone in 6 months or get 6 months free" and so I did have to pay for 6 months up front, but I checked my account and it was $89.84 or something like that for that whole thing which is $14.99/month! Really not too bad. And I know month to month is definitely more but I am thinking no more than $29.99/month at the VERY most, but I want to say lower. I could find a 3 month gift subscription for $16.99/month but I'm having trouble finding month to month costs. I would guess their Chemistry.com might be much more expensive b/c it's their equivalent to eHarm, but no way could the regular match subscription be any more than $30/month.
