Search for users that fit your criteria with Plenty of Fish. We allow you to narrow down our massive list of users to match what you're looking for.

The secret to a successful POF dating profile is creating a quality username that must be intriguing, potentially a conversation-starter, and give away details about the user's personality without oversharing. A good username is critical to a positive first impression. POF usernames should adhere to the following essential tips and rules:

• Be unique (for security reasons, don't recycle credentials from another online account).
• Be catchy (grab attention by using a nickname or an abbreviated version of the name).
• Focus on interests (marathons, art), passions (yoga, charity, volunteering), occupation, and character traits (caring, kind, nice, fun).
• Be positive, concise, honest, confident, open minded without sounding too spammy, or overtly sexual.
• Only numbers, letters, and underscores are allowed. No special characters like comma (,), apostrophe (‘),at sign (@)ampersand (&) or spaces can be included in the username.
• Excessively using the letter 'x' is a sign of digital laziness that indicates a sexual tone and hints that the user wants nothing more than a hook-up.

Once created, only paid users can edit or change the POF username. Free members have to upgrade to a paid plan if they want to modify it.

BE REAL

When you're free to be yourself, the right people take notice. Let’s take a stand for genuineness.

SCAMMING
Be human. Do not use Plenty of Fish to spam people, solicit money or business, or defraud people. Do not create accounts that impersonate another person or entity.

MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
Do not create multiple accounts on Plenty of Fish, unless permission has been granted by our Customer Support Service staff. Inclusive of this, do not attempt to use an account that isn’t yours.

PROFILE IMAGES
All your profile images should be focused on you, with your face clearly visible. We may remove images if your face is not clear or overly obscured.

Some exceptions are:

• Sunglasses and hats are allowed as long as your entire face is visible in the image
• Pets are acceptable as long as your face is clearly visible in the image

Group shots:

• Images that contain multiple people are confusing to other members as they cannot tell who you are. For that reason, we may remove them

Filters:

• We ask all members to represent themselves truthfully through the use of clear unedited images. For this reason, images that are heavily edited or use filters (e.g. Snapchat) will be removed

Memes, Cartoons, and Text:

• Memes certainly have a time and a place, but it’s not here. Images that contain overlaid text or watermarks are not allowed either and will be removed

BE REAL IN THE MESSAGES YOU SEND

Be mindful in your first messages to someone. In real life you wouldn’t introduce yourself with your phone number, email address, Instagram handle, Snapchat or kik, so don’t do that here either.
