It starts out with basic profile information about you and what you are looking for. Initial signup questions cover children, marital status, interests, smoking and drinking habits, religion, occupation, income, family situation, relationship history, and more. Users then personalize their profiles with a headline, an essay description, and a list of interests. An optional essay on conversation starters is also available.
Most members will be interested in searching and POF allows you to do that easily on their app and website once you have finished setting up your profile. Just tap on the search button and your results are brought up right away using your default Dating Preferences that you entered when you created your profile. You can further refine your search filters easily enough by modifying the location you want to view and by the different sections of the profile including Bio, Background, and Lifestyle attributes.
