Zoosk

ZOOSK... THIS SITE has the most unbelievable worst marketers on the planet! I have been a bar/casino beverage manager for over 30 years, and know how to market, and make you spend your money on a friendly, satisfied note. This marketing plan is so pathetic it is`nt even funny. Don`t you think that if you could read a message, and could see who sent it? If you are interested and have to pay to send one, it would make sense? So, would anyone pay? Without knowing who it is that sent it? It may be someone who is so NOT YOUR TYPE? It is such computer generated bull$#*!! Tonight I sent a wink to someone, and a message popped up on Face book that the person I winked at sent me a message... Sign up to read it. SO when I went onto Zoosk site to see who viewed me, that person had not even viewed my profile! SO, HOW COULD THEY HAVE SENT ME A MESSAGE WITHOUT EVEN VIEWING MY PROFILE? It is SO EASY to figure out, it is~nt even funny! Maybe if it was REAL and you saw that they viewed your profile, and you could at least read their message! Than it would be up to you, if you were interested enough to pay to be able to respond! Was on this site many years ago as a payed customer, & the people they sent me as my matches were NOTHING that I would ever be interested in.And now keep my profile up unpaid just to prove it is a BIG SCAM! Just put up a profile, don`t pay, and watch how many people have an interest in you, just by checking out their profile. If I could market this site as an HONEST business note with out scamming you, you would only spend your money if you were REALLY interested in someone, and people on it, would for sure find who they are really looking for! Maybe I should start a REAL HONEST dating site! F**k computer generated bull$#*! to try to rip you off! Think you all get my point..., BTW,,, If they send you something that says, a Zoosk MEMBER is interested in you, it maybe someone who is hot. BEWARE, as I believe that it is a ZOOSK STAFF MEMBERS PROFILE to try to SUCK YOU IN TO PAYING! Also I was on POF, when it was real and free. Now Zoosk has that one locked up TOO!

Well, I've thought about it and here is what I have to say about online dating. I've been involved with it off and on since 2006. From then until now I've had 3 women in my life (at different times) that would be considered girlfriends, meaning that we were dating exclusively. 2 of them I didn't meet online. The third one I did meet online very recently. She was the original reason that I made the decision to delete my account. After she terminated the endeavor (this is absolutely not directed towards her), I decided to go ahead and delete the account anyway. I will say that she was the first one in 12 years that even came close to being a successful contact. This was not because of a spark, but because I regrouped my thinking and decided to try taking time to experience who the person is. For a long time I wondered where the so called spark was that everyone that tries to sell online dating talked about. I think, and this is just my opinion, it happens but in very isolated cases. Most of the time we expect it and if it's not there upon the first meeting we don't give it a chance. Yes, I'm guilty of this and so are some of the ladies I've met. So, this most recent one was visually appealing, which like most men I noticed right away, but I wanted to get to know her and see if feelings would develop just from hanging out and experiencing mannerisms, voice tones, laughter and conversation. These are the things that are missing that create that spark. What am I talking about you say. Here it is, in most cases ramping up to the spark is the things we notice about a person upon a real life face to face interaction. So, what about the meetings after corresponding online? Well, these meetings were procured from a picture, profile, and messaging like it was designed to be by the online service. That being said, the proper way to do online dating is forget about the salespitch of love at first sight. If you get along during your first meet and they haven't lied about their age and picture, give it a chance. Something may get the attention of either one of you during the subsequent dates that create that spark. You both may not see it at the same time either. Bottom line is there are human factors that can't be put in a profile or picture. Goodby to Zoosk, and good luck to everyone.
