Searching POF is a great way to find someone online. With it being one of the largest social dating sites in existence, your odds of finding the person you’re looking for are fairly high.
Although, POF play anonymity for its users, it lets its members add lots of detail about themselves to their profiles, and the inherent function of the platform is to bring people closer together online. You can leverage this to help you find someone on POF, whether it’s a long-time friend
Dedicated users search engines can also be helpful in your search, even more so if you don’t know the person’s name, you have mutual friends, they’ve blocked you, or if you and/or them don’t use POF.
POF makes it easy to find people though it may sometimes promote anonymity. So, if you want to find someone on the website, you need to know the person’s link. Else, you won’t be able to find their profile. POF members who have POF accounts will typically link it to their social media bio
How to Search Someone on POF by Phone Number
Trying to figure out who owns a phone number that called you? POF can also be used for a reverse number search; just type the number into the search bar to see what shows up.
It’s unlikely that you’ll find users that contain their number, but you might have luck digging up a picture of one of your POF friends. This is an easy way to find an old friend’s phone number.
Use the filtering options to narrow down the results. For example, use the Date Posted filter from the Posts tab if you happen to know the year the person updated their profile.
Use POF to Search for Related Information
Something else you can do is use POF to find someone’s presence elsewhere on the internet. You’d do this if you already have their POF details, but you’re wanting their other social media account links, too, like to see if they also have Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook profiles, etc.
Another idea is to do a reverse image search on a photo from the person’s profile. It can be their profile image or any other picture of them from their account. If they’ve posted that same exact image elsewhere, you might be able to dig up their other online accounts.
