One of the worst dating website ever. Expensive with hidden fees + need to pay more even to be seen by other members. Lots of fake profiles that will send auto reply messages making u think u have got real messages in. Stay away from this scam.

Completely unreliable
October 6, 2013

Completely unreliable. When I click "not interested" those same very people appear the next day as "interested" or "look whose checked you out"... People I just look at get put into my "guess who's interested" or "he wrote you" categories. Twice guys said they never were interested nor contacted me... and that "Zoosk is always screwing up like that." Just horribly unsatisfactory. My search parameters keep "defaulting" and when I "invisible" myself, I still am visible. Bad Service

I can not believe that there is an institution where we as customers could complain about businesses of this kind where they literally lie to you and basically still your money, I really some one takes down this business. Stay away!

I was fortunate to meet a wonderful person on this site, but had the most frustrating experience trying to communicate "real time" through your messaging. It never stayed updated and almost seemed as if there were several "instances" occurring which created confusion during conversations. We mutually agreed to exchange phone numbers and facebook information just to eliminate the difficulty. You can't share any photos or file information either. Other date sites can do it for the same subscription fee. Why can't ZOOSK? You guys need to do a little more work...

I've been a active member of Zoosk for over a year... Getting help, finding customer service # or email address or contacting their business office is made intentionally difficult. Instead if you spend hours going thru their hundreds of questions eventually I suppose I'd find the answer. There are so many things that Zoosk never tells you about how to manage chat... messages, etc. THey leave it open to each individual to learn how to operate their site. I've never ever known what the small circular colors mean next to the people online or chatting... Most of the women you choose you'll never hear back from. Do the attractive pics really represent serious & motivated people or merely bait to attract men & money? Ron Rosen, MD

Be patient!
October 7, 2023

You have to be patient and take your time! I was a little skeptical at first but the App warmed on my after awhile. Then I met someone who gets me and they we're on the same page as far as dating for a purpose! You have to give it time. Your ideal person my just be around the corner!

Zoosk Scamming
July 17, 2023

Was recently scammed on Zoosk by a very sophisticated operation. When I tried to contact Zoosk customer service their number was always off-line! When I emailed a detailed report on what happened to me my email came back undelivered. This site is as big a scam as the scammers that prey on its members. Would stay away from this site! Untrustworthy and no customer service help or follow up! A 0 out of 10 rating!

A good online dating site should be easy to get registered on, and also easy to navigate people's profiles and choose who to make friends with. Before I got to know about zoosk, I had terrible experiences on many online dating sites! However, with Zoosk I am really having a great time meeting real and nice people online that have become really close friends. The zoosk support system are just simply amazing. I recommend them to you if you are like me who have little or no time to socialize physically. You will definitely love it

Soulmates Exist!
February 15, 2017

Chris and I talked several times and knew we had something special! Distance and past experiences kept us guarded at first. We decided to meet and are no longer dreaming of love but experiencing it with each other! Best Valentine's Day ever! Have faith and NEVER give up or settle because that "special person for you" is out there!

I signed up for this site with no expectations. Until I met a young lady that I really want to spend time with and get to know her. While accessing the site, however, was a bit troublesome. I would remove people from my views only to see them again. It was okay but I think this is overpriced. Then you can't access they app won't allow you to pay with certain cards. Exhausting to say the least.

Overwhelming
January 13, 2019

I'm giving this site a great review because I met a great guy. I do want to say though that it's very overwhelming... too many messages from too many people. I don't like rejecting people and this site kinda makes you. Sometimes for no reason other than you can't really talk to so many people at the same time... at least I didn't want to. I'm sure there are several good guys who I didn't reply to just because there were so many. Not sure how I would fix this issue but maybe if you could only message the person once they have "liked" each other's profile? Also that one thing where they pic a match for you and all you can see is a picture? Really don't like that at all. Looks are part of connecting but to me a small part. I want to know about them before I say if I think they could be a match.

I am pleased to have met a great person named Kelly through this site and honestly if I had seen him in public I never ever would think he would have approached me to introduce himself nor that i would be his type. All this for $29.99! Lol. I hope he is the last first date I go on! I hope everyone finds love and if you don't in a month then I would unsubscribe! Thank You Zoosk!

Absolutely awful site. Took £60 from my bank account and sent me pictures of fat unattractive men. No criteria match involved. Fighting to get my money back. Only £60 but it's the principle. Shocking.

Met some very nice men since joining in Nov 2017.

Something just hit me. Intuition, curiosity. Who knows but I responded. And this city girl rocker was soon hooked lol...
Wish us luck...

Worth it
March 11, 2019

I've always said you have to pay to find a genuine connection with someone else who is putting in an equivalent effort. This goes towards any dating site or app. Zoosk simply is just one of the better apps out there.

Is any of it for real?
January 20, 2016

Don't do it because I am not sure if any of the women who visited my profile actually exist. And constant pressure to buy is a pain

They also send you piles of profiles that are a very long way from your stated preferences

Don't rate it at all

I would say 95% of my personal interactions on here were from men looking to just find an easy hook up for sex. They were not interested in a real, exclusive relationship. I did get lucky and find one man that contacted me and we have begun dating.

On line dating is fierce dedicated battle faced head on. One needs to brave, street wise, know how to question the proposition. Also, there is no certain correct etiquette about contacting; or replying. Woman do much of the aggressive initial contact work.
Creative writing skills and chatter presentation is helpful. Short and long messages work. Approach fruitful writing from recipients point of view. Be direct. Not judgmental. Positively open-minded, Cautious. Respectful of Gender. Demonstrate Patience. May 4,2016
