POF was founded back in 2003 in Canada by Frind, who bootstrapped the business, retaining control and sole ownership of the company ? and is now headed for a $525M cash out (once the deal closes)."

C H R I S · 07-14-2015, 12:34 PM

Wow.

Probably well worth it.

datingbanking · 07-14-2015, 12:45 PM

Unexpected, good for BC tax revenue tho :-)

$5 submissions · 07-14-2015, 07:01 PM

Frind ran POF with NO EMPLOYEES for years.

Talk about a money machine.

Colmike9 · 07-14-2015, 08:30 PM

"To bag more singles"?..
More like buying a ton of big data, same reason why Whatsapp was bought for $16Bil.. :x

Edit: If they added users to get more people matched up, they would lose money from people cancelling/not rebilling from finding someone......

Spunky · 07-14-2015, 08:43 PM

Pretty good for a guy who started the business from his apartment

ErectMedia · 07-14-2015, 08:51 PM

I bought some ads on the site for some of my mainstream sites.

I new something was up with them not accepting any new publishers.

I have ran personal campaigns there for a while and did notice some changes going on.

Match.com and pof.com are both top ten dating sites, worldwide. Match.com can become number one, now.

1 mildly attractive woman for every 500 thirsty beta males.

Tons of fat single moms being picky.

Online dating is hell on earth. Tried it for one month. Banged one decent looking chick that was definitely a super slut.

I have a friend of mine who uses POF. He was married to a smoking hot woman, she dropped him after two kids, and frankly he doesn't have much going for him.... He is older, over weight, has a boring job, doesn't make too much money, and his only hobbies are watching TV and video games. He is constantly going on dates using POF.

I had a land whale over at my house when I first got it. I think I just texted her and we never talked. I had her come over and we held hands and watched "Autumn in New York"

After the movie I told her she should lay in my bed next to me, she did. I took all of my clothes off while she lay there and grab her hand and put it on my cock, she stroked it. Told her I liked bj's but she said she didn't give those, pissed me off.
I told her to take her pants off, she did, figured I'd give the 300 pound of a whale some fist banging action.

I ended up having to place 5 layers of bathroom towels under her because of the mess. She must have been backed up because tons came out and it all smelled really really bad.
I got a good workout though.

I didn't mention that incident to anyone locally yet it got out, fat cunt. Not polite to soak my bathroom towels and talk about it.

SmutGiant · 07-16-2015, 12:29 AM

The advertising model as we know it is dying. The site wouldn't be able to stand on its own the way its set up now in a matter of a few years. POF is the perfect audience to push their premium sites and a portfolio of other services the company owns while cutting out the middle man.
