The single change that improved how to start pof for me was deciding to use a photo that shows your face clearly.

Same as @Marcus Johnson, though I would say whether the matching does anything you can notice is the bit worth testing first with how to start pof.

I gave how to start pof the trial period and what the pool looked like was flat once the novelty wears off.

For me the bit that surprised me with start pof is whether the premium upsell is worth it.
