Site 'Plentyoffish'. Some links as example

[mspanky]

 www.plentyoffish.com
has lots of pics of men looking for future relationships and it's FREE!! I read your dilemna about lack of pictures and this website has lots of members with pics.

Here are a few examples of men in the age bracket you seek.

Thank you very much! Suppose it's not for me only, other women can take advantage of it as well!

Can I re-phrase your subject line, mspanky?

[mspanky]

Lily,

 Of course you can change the tittle. If that can help Russian women find love without having to pay a matchmaking website that would be great. There was a recent discussion on the www.Plentyoffish.com on Mail order Brides and many of the male forum members seemed to be receptive of that idea, though a majority have never done it and just curious from what they heard. I felt it may be a great match RW/American,Canadian men because many members have pictures and if a woman has time she can weed out the small percentage of really good guys. Some guys may not have intended to join the website to meet women from other countries,but when you find love, you keep an open mind.

I am afraid that I have to change the title again. This site does not allow me to register without explaining a reason.

Whenn I fill out the first page (name, email, gender, age, country) and entered the code, it does not open the further step. Just opens still the same page.

My chosen name was a bit sofisticated, so I don;t think they rejected me because of my chosen name already used.

By the way, I tried to register at this  same site a week ago. I still experience the same rejection.

Lily,

 I just registered last week. It may be the computer you are using. I wonder if that is the problem? Is there a way to contact the website. It took 3-4 days before I was approved as a member. I can post a question on the board about how to register from foreign countries. I see a lot of pics from people in other countries when I do a search.

[Lily]

Mspanky, I would be much obliged to you if you ask on the forum about this problem. Not sure that the country is the problem.

The problem is that when it says:

'2 Page Registration Process'

and when I have all of the following fields filled in -
User Name*   
Password*   
Enter Password Again* 
Email*   
Email Again   
Gender/Birthdate* 

Enter word from above:     
I Agree to the
terms of service
(check that box)---> Users Under 18 and Profiles not filled out correctly are deleted.' -

and i click on further -

it brings on that same page again with my Name field empty without mentioning what I did wrong.
   
It cannot be that my name is taken. I chose it rather unique.

Lily,

It's not only you. I tried (from within Ukraine) to help a friend register for this site and I encountered the same problem that you did over and over again. Even sent a request for help to the site admin, but got no reply.

[Lily]

Thanks for this information rambo.

I'd appreciate it a lot if mspanky being a member of that site would bring this problem to the site administrators' attention. Suggest also asking specific question on whether being a resident of some countries may be a problem.

I think you will find the problem is that they do not accept members from FSU countries.   Probably because of all the scammers on Match.com.

VWRW wanted to participate in the forums there to learn more about Americans, their life, and how they think.  She too was unable to do so.   I registered her using an Yahoo email address of my own and she could still not log on to participate.   I think the problems you are encountering are by choice of the administrators and there is little to be done.

[Lily]

The difference between Match and Plenty is that the former does not allow to open any page of it at all, whereas the latter allows opening the links provided by mspanky. That would mean no IP bans at Plenty.

Now I found the answer on POF: quote

"Deleted Profiles

......The most common reasons for being deleted are:
1. Like every other major site we block users from Africa, Romania, Turkey, India, Russia etc.'

Voila...

[Lily]

they discuss russian scams..may be mentioning some countries gets a profile deleted..

 I guess the scammers are making it bad for everyone.
