Yes. It's Markus Frind's site. You may know him for that famous photo of him holding his GARGANTUAN adsense check. Looks like his free dating site, Plentyoffish.com is still clocking those numbers and it keeps growing, and growing... What impact, if any, do large free dating sites have on adult dating?

We just passed 105 million monthly logins this month, and we have up to 380,000 emails an hour sent between users. All this growth caused us to take the site down last night and move much of our core database onto a Ramsan 620.

My g/f finds guy's there all the time but they are all crazy.

The quality of women I have met there isn't even on par with those living in a trailer-park. Free attracts the bottom-of-the-barrel...so there will still be a market for paid sites, IMO.

Kudos for the concept and the mad money being made...but I still happily pay for a site like Match. And I simply don't think POF compares to "Adult Dating" if you were, in fact, comparing to a site like AFF -- most women on POF are NOT looking for a simple hookup...at least that's the case in my market

I know a couple people who swear by PoF...

I know several women that use PoF constantly but they all fall into the bone-idle single parent dole-scum category.

Best dating site in the world

fuzebox · 03-26-2010, 08:50 AM

No one had ever heard of POF before he announced he was the biggest dating site in the world

BestXXXPorn · 03-26-2010, 08:51 AM

Markus is not very well liked by the industry...

DateDoc · 03-26-2010, 08:52 AM

I wonder how much money he makes of his premium members since he added that about a year ago?

Yeah, because he does so well by offering his site for free and doesn't care about the competition. Markus is going to do what he wants to do regardless of what other people think. And he's raking in the cash.

Big time.

There have been a number of articles and interviews on him over the years. He is not hurting for money and is not afraid to tell you the inning and score.

mopek1 · 03-26-2010, 04:08 PM

How did he first get the site going? Was it word of mouth mostly?

KillerK · 03-26-2010, 04:13 PM

he spammed myspace

Farang · 03-26-2010, 04:39 PM

Most Thai hookers use fb now, I don't need dating sites anymore.
