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!
These are the "NAZIS", of the "INTERNET"! I signed up for Six Months and was on for only a day and they terminated my account without giving me ANY REASON WHY! A year previous to joining again I disputed the charge with them because their "FEATURES" were not working for me and I kept e-mailing them to tell their Tech Dept. of the problem and NO ONE ever wrote back to me and that is why I "disputed the charge"! I waited one whole year before I tried to subscribe again and I subscribed for "six months". It worked for "ONE DAY" and then they blocked my account for "NO REASON"! They act like "Nazis"! You are "banned" for "LIFE"! No one writes back to you and there is no phone number to call them back on! I don't know "HOW" they are still in business...WE NEED TO WORK TO GET THEM "CLOSED DOWN" FOR "GOOD"!
I tried this site for about 2 months. After about 200 emails and many many chats, I finally connected with someone. She is about 90 minutes from me. So far things are looking pretty good. Unfortunately, this site doesn't give the man the tools to shut down all those damn heifers! It should be required that all body shots are required! And the descriptive terms used is BS! Curvy? Why not just use 1/4 ton and 1/2 ton? Then there is the distance with everyone I try to connect with, they were no less than 50 miles away. Even when I set my parameters! If you have time to waste, then this is the place to hang out!

As a skeptic of these sites i tried it out and as a middle age male that after fourteen years of marriage ended up having to restart his life with two children this was the perfect ice breaker to meet other singles in similar situations. It has lead to meeting a wonderful woman that an unwritten story can now be written. Thank you zoosk

This site was good few years ago but recently it is flooded by scammers. If you are seeking for a partner from Eastern Europe, Ukraine or Russia then probability to meet a scammer is higher. I would not recommend it

I'm not really happy with the state of online dating sites these days. I had a successful relationship through one ten years ago. These days, they are too expensive, keep too many profiles of people no longer looking, have a higher rate of scams, and less tools for really meeting successfully.
That being said, Zoosk is one of the better sites today. I was still targeted by a scam, in which we held a normal conversation for about a week before they tried asking for money. So be aware, it happens everywhere. I did meet my current girlfriend on Zoosk, though only the initial hello. She did not buy a subscription because of the cost. There's a lot of room for improvement, but it's still one of the top 3 sites you can use today.

I cannot remove matches in "View" on Zoosk. I follow the directions, but they stay in my match lineup. Zoosk's site is always messed up. I tap a picture and get someone else's profile. It's very difficult to navigate. Watch out, because you could accidently someone you are actually connecting with.

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.

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.

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!

To all people who are considering subscribing: take the words from people who got conned...it's an absolute money sucking site which is only aimed at what it's been designed for!!!
Don't waste your time and hard earned 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.

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?

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!

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!

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

Beware of this scam. First of all, a one month membership of less than $30.00 is accompanied by an additional "activation" charge of over $25.00. You can get messages, but you have to buy "coins" to actually learn about any of the creeps who would contact you. Then there's the "saved searches" that don't save anything. If I could give less than a star I would. You might meet someone here if you're lucky, but your time is better spent out and about living life in the three dimensional world at best and on another site at worst.
Tip for consumers:
DON"T DO IT!

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!

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.
Tip for consumers:
Do yourselves a favor & do not sign up for this disgrace of a dating site.

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!

I didn't believe online dating worked after several years of trying. Within 1 day of being in Zoosk, Tony reached out to me and we started chatting. By the weekend we had our first date. Thanks Zoosk!

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!

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.
Date of experience: August 18, 2015
First time we met, we just clicked. I have never clicked with someone so well. He's gorgeous. We've been to dinner, movies, rock climbing, the park... Were even meeting later. I really like this guy and I have good in tensions that it'll go far. Thank you Zoosk!
Date of experience: July 19, 2016
There are a decent pool of people on here but I really didn't care for having to spend so much time on the carousel to avoid spending more money. You don't know until after you sign up that "30 coins" are required to connect with a person that has expressed interest in you. You can earn a max of 40 coins a day by saying yes/maybe to connecting with a person based on their picture and city only. On average I might spend 20-30 minutes clicking through pictures before I'd find 40 ppl that I liked --not the time investment I had originally planned on. But, I refused to spend more money after already paying for 6 months in advance.
Anyway, in spite of all that... I met someone that I really like and it looks like we may be able to make this thing work.

I wish I could give less than 1 star- it's misleading, no filtering whatsoever. I have non-qualifiers signing up just to talk to me. This has been a tremendous waste of energy, as every time I take a look, there is a non- qualifier who has written a few times and then erupted into a rant about nonsense that they have arrived to. Also, random criticism from non- qualifying members for no reason at all.
Horrible, energy wasting experience. I hope not all sites are this bad.
Tip for consumers:
Just no, don't- especially if you are attractive and selective. If non-attractive, not intelligent - go for it! That's who you will meet, I'm sure there are a few good souls, but they will soon learn how bad this site is.
