Pink Sofa Review April 2024: Scam or Real Dates?

Finding a partner, whether for a serious relationship or mere casual dating, is not easy. It may even be harder for people who are too shy to initiate a conversation. What more if you do not know who to approach? This can be true to a lot of people.

Good thing, the world is coping with the rise of online dating platforms that recognise and address the dating needs of the lesbian and gay communities.

Pink Sofa is one dating site that caters explicitly to lesbians and bisexuals. Founded by Liz James in 1999, the dating site aims to support and establish a feeling of belongingness to women who find it difficult to connect with other women. A comfortable space where women can freely meet and catch up is what Pink Sofa wants to share to the community.

  • 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.

    Free Search

    Pink Sofa's free search will let you show members who are currently online or those who are near you, those who are available for instant message, and even the new members.

    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.

    You may also mingle with other members by liking and commenting on their posts in the Chit Chat section if you are a premium member. Pink Sofa also has a forum that covers a variety of topics that members can discuss with each other.

    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 Real Life Review

      "I have been using Pink Sofa for a while now. Initially, It was not easy for me to sign up. My profile had been removed twice before it was approved. I waited literally for days just to find out that my account was not approved. Anyhow, on my third try, I used my phone to sign up and logged in thru my Facebook account. Finally, it was approved! So I started using the app. I discovered people with the same interests as me in forums. However, I would not be able to send and receive messages if I did not subscribe to their premium membership so, I did, even though it's a bit pricy. At the moment, I get to talk to several other users. Hopefully, I find my best match soon." -Kassey, 36

      Design and Usability

      Pink Sofa mainly makes use of white, gray, and pink colors on its site. Although the design is a bit out-of-date, it is fairly easy to navigate. It also exhibits photos of happy couples.

      As the founder imparts on the site, she wanted the design and the logo of Pink Sofa to represent a "comfortable and friendly environment." Its main design, magenta pink and sofa logo, clearly reflects her vision for the dating site.

      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.
