This site is amazing. Found my soulmate 6 1/2 years ago and we are still going strong. The only issue is that I wish for future users is that there becomes a way to earn more coins buy doing surveys, playing fun games so the they can read their messages not everyone can afford to pay the subscription fee on a what if. Just being able to chat or read a message can change someone's life. But charge if they want to send other things through Zoosk..

HEAVY ZOOSKER
April 16, 2015

Been 10 months on Zoosk and must admit, one of the best and cheapest ways to get someone for a casual relationship! If you know how to make a conversation and can put a smile on a female, you're the MAN! $79 annual fee I've paid is not even noticeable when I look into my phone directory - 178 females and had fun with more than 95 already!

I liked the fact that this site has "verify picture" option. It nicely filters scammers and fraud. So, first thing, please ask to verify pictures everyone you approach. Even though it's overwhelming to have hundreds of emails to go through, it's well worth it if you're focused on finding the one.

After I paid, could not access their website. Tried to call, write, contact them any possible way to sort out the problem. NOTHING. Finally requested return through my credit card company. Zoosk replied that I must be in financial bound to ask for the fee back. How can a company be this nasty?

Terrible site
November 14, 2012

Terrible site. Most of the "people" that contact you are not even real. They are like bots that just send everyone messages. You can spot them easily because they use pictures of super models and no descriptions. Plus they start giving u their emails and phone numbers before you've even said hello to them. Who does that? So one moment you have a new "flirt" or new "chat request" and then you go login to check it out and they're not even there anymore. Literally, their profile and everything has vanished from zoosk. This dating site is a scam, no matter how unsatisfied u are, terms say no refunds. Dont waste your time or money.

Having tried one or two dating websites, some you pay for, some free, Zoosk is definitely the worst I have had the pleasure of paying a six month subscription for!
I get an email everyone time someone 'views my profile' and no doubt other poor souls get the same when I glance at theirs. Profile information is very scant, it does not seem to encourage people to actually make proper contact. When they match you on their carousel etc. they try to extract more money out of you to see the profile, despite the fact that you have already paid. It seems to be more like Tinder on steroids and most unlikely you will meet a committed partner.

This website is extremely complicated to use. If you find someone you're interested in, and hit a wrong button, they it's too difficult to locate that person again. And your filters absolutely SUCK! It never kept me in the mileage boundary. I hated it!

I've tried other sites and met a lot of scammers. Zoosk makes online meeting safer by having many different forms of verification. I only spoke with members who verified at least one way. I've met more real men who want to meet in person on this site than any other. I have become serious about one man. Thanks.

Buyer beware
December 14, 2019

If you are crazy enough to pay for this site, let me advise you to try all others first! It's full if fake views and they use profiles of closed accounts. The site makes it appear most people are obsessively viewing your profile! Is false! I have had many men get upset or irritated that I won't message them or respond back to their messages indicating i have viewed them many many times! Completely false! I either never did or once accidentally... it's ridiculous and not kind to mess with people's emotions in this way without permission...

I was on Zoosk for 5 months and attempted to chat with over 400 women and only 1 ever responded. Now they won't let me change my profile to tell it how it is on there. I'm sure they have all the things wrong with this site covered under their Terms of Agreement. Don't join Zoosk! Total scam!

Found my guy in 2 weeks. Did not have much expectations when I started off at first. I was scared of meeting creeps and time wasters. Guess I had some good luck. Met my guy and clicked from the beginning. We have so much in common. Had a first and second date ( with company. Just as a safe guard). Now we are both enjoying getting to know each other better. All indications are there that we can have a lasting relationship and even if I am wrong it would still be worth it. I am giving it a great shot reciprocating what I am receiving from him. Zoosk worked for me!

Patience paid off..
July 14, 2017

It's a great way to meet people from near and far, there's no obligation to commitments until both parties come to a mutual agreement. I went out on many dates and met some very nice people and. We'll just leave it at nice. So many people on this site, better than bar's or club's. But overall it was nice experience, my patience paid off, who knew I would meet the love of my life here, so happy.
There are some flaws in the software but I'm sure Zoosk techs will remedy the problem.

Thank you and good luck to all

Suprise of the Heart
December 18, 2016

Ok, so its not easy! But if you truly are looking to meet someone you have to try all options, and then believe it's possible! I looked at this sight everyday and said NO to everyone I saw... Until one morning I happened to be in the same place as a member who had sent me a message the day before, I never opened it! We met for a 3 hour cup of coffee and have been dating ever sense. Much to my suprise I'm a lucky girl! Wishing you the same success!

Worth the effort.

Meeting someone who will interested in you and you in them is often difficult. I am now enjoying the companionship of a good individual with likes and interests similar to mine. We have future travel plans together.

Zoosk is just a complete joke. You have a better shot at finding romance on Google+ for crying out loud. As a guy, your profile very rarely receives any views which is because unless you're a paid member, you're basically sitting at the bottom of the totem pole. Even when your page does get viewed, it's usually fake spam bot profiles who are listed as "A Zoosk Member"... In my opinion, this site is, by a large margin, worse than Plenty of Fish. Being on Zoosk is equivalent to sitting in a rocking chair while staring at a brick wall. Bottom line, the site is absolute trash.

THIS SITE IS HORRIBLE from many aspects. 1. Fake profiles. 2. Horrible Customer service. 3. Female members were not attractive to me at all. In my opinion they were desperate. 4. Bad quality all together. BE WARNED!

Probably won't join
March 4, 2015

I've been on this site off and on for several months, have not joined. I agree with previous post, it's more like an arcade game than a dating site. You have to earn "coins" by looking at pictures on the carousel... and you must click YES or MAYBE to earn each one, a NO will not get you a coin. I'm not hung up on looks, but I would say only ONE out of 100 even appeal to me... the rest look like serial killers, and many of my "matches" live clear across the country. So glad I read all the reviews, I was about to sign up for one month... I will save my money and find something better. Thanks everyone, and best wishes to all!
