I've been reading around pof dating site app than using the website for a couple of weeks and the advice contradicts itself. The bit I can't resolve is coverage in your area. The honest tradeoff with pof dating is how many people are actually near you against convenience.

Short version on pof dating site app than using the website: it depends more on your setup than on the platform. Two people can have opposite results with pof dating purely because of the local pool. What decided it for me with pof dating was how many people are actually near you.

What I actually do about pof dating:

  • write like a person rather than a job listing specifically for pof dating
  • give it a fortnight before deciding anything about pof dating
  • check how active your area is before you invest time at least where pof dating is concerned
  • leave a couple of weekends before deciding anything about pof dating

You can't really talk about pof dating without talking about how often it goes somewhere. I'd put how often it goes somewhere above almost everything else when it comes to pof dating. The honest tradeoff with pof dating is the practical side against convenience.
