  • There are 3 steps to create your account: Sign Up-Create Profile-Add Photo
  • Your profile and photo will not be shown to other members until they get approved

To create an account with Pink Sofa, you will be required to sign up using a username and a password.

Before you can proceed, you will first need to complete the process from signing up to filling out the profile information and adding a profile photo.

Although its homepage indicates that Pink Sofa is for "lesbians 30 and over," you can create an account as long as you are at least 18 years old. You will have to write a description about yourself and answer a few basic questions upon signing up. Other data will also be asked from you such as employment, income, your habits, and interests, which are optional.

While waiting for the approval of your account, which will take up to around 12 hours, you may already explore the site. However, you will not be able to communicate with other members yet.

    Username Search

    You may look for a specific member by searching the username. You can use this search function for free.

    Quick Search and Advanced Search

    You may customise your search criteria by adding a location, indicating age range, sexuality, your purpose of joining Pink Sofa, among others. Your search criteria can also be saved if you want to use the same criteria again later on.

    Subscribing to a premium will let you send messages to members that you like. You will also be able to receive messages. However, if you are a basic member, you may only send and receive smiles to let other people know that you are interested.

    Pink Sofa Profile Quality

    PinkSofa-Profile
    • Detailed profile information
    • There is an option to hide photo
    • It is free to view other members' profile
    • Simple and straightforward profile layout
    • The profiles are quite detailed
    • Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

    Pink Sofa allows members to showcase very detailed information about themselves on their profile. This information includes name, age, location, purpose for joining Pink Sofa, when the member was last active and description about herself. Your profile photo can be seen as long as you did not set it otherwise.

    There is another section in your profile entitled "My Life." This section includes your identity, 'how out,' interests, appearance, starsign, habits, employment and children. If you want to discuss more things like your favourite thing or food, how your friends describe you, or the most important thing in your life, you can add them in the "More about me" section.

    Since only one profile photo is allowed to be uploaded at a time, no profile picture will be shown on your profile until the newly uploaded photo has been approved. But no need to worry if you want to show your funny or other types of personality - aside from the profile photo, members can upload gallery photos. Premium members can upload up to 30 photos while basic members can upload only up to three photos.

    Pink Sofa App

      Pink Sofa does not have a mobile application. Nevertheless, it can be accessed through its site's mobile version. The mobile version pretty has all the information and features of the desktop version of Pink Sofa.

      Pink Sofa has above average rates on its premium membership. Just like any other subscription, its 12-month plan will save you around 70% as compared to its per month subscription.

      If you choose to purchase either the 1-month or 3-month plan, be sure to check your subscription before your plan ends if you do not want to have it renewed. These plans have auto-renew settings, unlike the 12-month plan.

      Special Features

      Pink Sofa has some special features that could not be missed. Check these out below.

      New Members Search

      As mentioned above, Pink Sofa has several search options. One of these is the new members search. So if you're up to finding the new girl on Pink Sofa, try this search option.

      Send Smile

      Non-premium members cannot send or receive messages. Nevertheless, the 'Send Smile' feature allows them to start contact with other members that they are interested in.

      Gift Subscription

      Usually, members purchase subscriptions for themselves. But for Pink Sofa, it is something that can be sent as a gift. If you see a regular member but can't send a message, a gift subscription may be the best way to approach and get in touch.

      Chit Chat

      This feature is like a post where users can start a thread about certain topics. It is a good way to initiate a conversation with other members.
