If you know PHP it is very easy to extend the user profiles in code. This is an example I used to add extra fields. I have used this same method to add over 20 new fields to a project I was working on.
Just save your file to your mu-plugins folder.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: User Profile Extensions
Plugin URI:
Description: Adds an additional layer of control to user security.
Version: 0.1 Alpha

*/
add_action('show_user_profile', 'user_profile_extensions');
add_action('edit_user_profile', 'user_profile_extensions');
//save profile
add_action('profile_update', 'user_profile_extensions_update');
//what to do when a user is removed
//add_action('delete_user', 'userphoto_delete_user');
function user_profile_extensions(){
global $profileuser;
global $current_user;
$userdata = get_userdata($profileuser->ID);
$isSelf = $profileuser->ID == $current_user->ID;
?>
