• Easily finding partner in your new area

If you frequently travel and want to meet new people in the new city you are in, of course, changing your new location is a must. However, it’s such an easy way to find a perfect match in your new area. It’s also totally the same for you if you move to a new city. We think that you want to find all potential dates who live around you.

• Security reason

You may already know that security is a big issue in online dating apps both for men and women. Sure, there are a lot of scammers online and many people out there who seem to delight in causing havoc wherever they go.

Well, if you live somewhere small where people will know each other, of course, adding your location can be a security risk. Then, if you are married and cheat, this can get you found out. However, if you live in a small town and do not want people to find you until you are ready, sure, changing your location to a nearby town and city will make perfect sense.

• As free-to-use app

We know that the POF app is free-to-use for basic membership. It means that anyone can join up with the minimum of effort including scammers, criminals and worse. Free-to-use apps really have a low barrier to entry. Even though the dating apps fee is often lamented,  however, it can protect you from most scammers but it cannot protect you from jerks. Of course, a premium subscription is better than harming yourself.

Well, those are some reasons why you should change your location if you have moved to a new city, state or even country.
