I've tried some of the free dating sites, and some of the pay ones, but I actually didn't pay. I think I am at the point where I want to pay for a dating site but it has to be one that works. There is WAY to many issues and problems with the free sites. This includes the sites themselves and their members.
I have joined Zoosk but have yet to message anyone because of the pay wall. I am wondering how people feel about paying for Zoosk and how much they end up spending before finding someone?

Zoosk is a scam dating site Ladies and Gents. Guys stay away from this site. They are thiefs. I get robbed. In the system there are no real people. No one is responding to your message because there is only fake pictures.

I signed up for Zoosk because it is rated as the top dating site. TOP apparently means most suckers. This is some of the worst software I have seen that is being sold as a working product. It does not work well. So far the worst is the Chat feature. Messaging would be better with a tin can and string. This is unacceptable. I want my money back! Messages get hacked up and strung out. It's a mess. No excuse for this. There is working, tested chat software available. Instead they pay 100 monkeys to create junk that has their name on it!

Many profiles contained the same generic verbiage and it immediately became clear they were scripted and computer generated. Makes me wonder if most of the people on the site are real. The computer generated responses were based on my activity being monitored to see who I've attempted to contact. The amount of views again and again by the same people is unreal.
Took part in 'carousel' to help determine my 'type' a few times, kept getting basically same types to reject. Got bombarded with 'views' and 'matches' who were totally opposite to my search and filter criteria, advanced education, no smoking, or they resided 100+ miles away. Kept receiving the same pics/matches that I showed no interest in, over and over. Zoosk seemed to match me with profiles of females I would NOT date. Sent messages to persons that “viewed” my profile I was interested in, they never responded. As as a full account member you shouldn't have to pay extra 'coins' for additional privileges to see if response were even received. A waste of time and money. I chose this based on Google's rating of #1. Where did this rating come from? Definitely would not recommend it to anyone. Four days of fruitless and worthless results. I regret it.

I awaited for 6 months before a became a paying subscriber and held only the basic account membership that allowed only very limited actual communication. I decided to subscribe as the Zoosk service said I had over 80 letters in my mailbox that I could not access without becoming a paid subscriber. So I joined and paid the $120 fee just to look at the upon reviewing the messages I noticed that many of them contained the same generic verbiage and it immediately became clear that "messages" were computer generated messages. Not actual messages sent by Zoosk members.
I immediately called Zoosk and told them to cancel my membership and fully refund the money I paid. I explained that the messages weren't actual member messages but Zoosk computer generated message that are put in your mailbox to entice you to join and pay the exorbitant monthly subscription fee. Hence the fraud. In order to verify this, I wrote to a few of the members in response to the message that I received and they always confirmed that they never sent me a message.
So here's the way it works. If someone clicks on a smiley face Zoosk generates a text message to the non-member. Over time the number of messages grow and in my case was over 80 messages. The large number of unanswered messages entices the paying member to join to see the messages (computer generated).
Another shady process is presented to the paying member. I assume that the paying member is notified that non paying member is interested and if they want to communicate with them they will to pay an additional premium fee to do so. The whole process is to generate as much cash for the company.

The last time I used the Zoosk app was 6 months ago. That is were I found my last girlfriend. We hooked up the first night which should of been a bad signal to me as she turned out to be a total psycho. Funny thing at the time she was cheating on her previous boyfriend which I did not know at the time. She then ended up cheating on me but that was fine because at that point I had enough of her crazyness no matter how good looking she was.
I found on Zoosk most of the female profiles are inactive or fake and run by scammers. With the fake ones you will get automated responses after sending them a message. Sometimes it is difficult to tell at first because they do not appear to be fake. I wish Zoosk would do more to combat these scammer accounts. Maybe in the 6 months things have changed, then again I doubt it. Call me jaded.

If youre looking for a new mate youll never find her or him on this phony website. 1. Theres no way to screen for body type. 2. Theres no way to screen for race. 3. And youre not going to hear from anyone because the site is as phony as a 3 dollar bill!!! Yep, it's just another bogus dating site, meant to steal your money and give you one bogus picture after the other to look at. Save your money guys. Find a good bar with live music and stay away from this farce of a dating site.

I heard from others a while ago that Zoosk was full of dead accounts and phony profiles.
Lately though I was told that Zoosk had revamped themselves and it is much better.
I just created an account on their website and did up a profile. I have to wait until my next payday to subscribe to actually be able to communicate with some of the matches I found.
The friend I had who recommended I try Zoosk out said she did meet a number of new people and had some success over a few months. Said it was much better than OKC.
When I did create my account on Zoosk the one thing I notice which is good is I had verify my account via text message of Facebook. It looks like they are really cracking down on fake profiles which is good.

Well I was contacted by a lovely gentleman photo.
After many text and few emails with many believe able photos. After 30 days I have discovered it was fake. The usual oil rig, widowed wife story.
If you have a photo check it not only google images,
But ladies check Yandex.com it will catch any international photos. The real guy is a model in Italy.
Yes Zoosk checked with Facebook, well ya there is a Facebook account by stolen photos. Good luck

I have been on Zoosk several times over the years. I meet a few nice men on this site. But I went on recently and I found a lot of fake profiles on there. They say they are from Santon and Fourways but if you Google the people they from overseas Australia and America. Sadly that Zoosk turn out like this. I really want to meet a guy that I can grow old with. I will remove my profile but I cant delete it. Tells you just to deactivate it. After experiencing fake profiles twice in a row I rather going to remove my profile. I am not a subscribe member a not going to subscribe again. I did report it too Zoosk. But no one bother to reply back to me. I won't recommend zoosk to anyone. I hope this will help others to be more careful which sites they use.

A few years ago i got a promo code for Zoosk and paid like $30 for six months or whatever it was.
In my opinion this was the best dating website i tried... I've only tried a couple/few.
It came as advertised and should the situation present itself, i wouldn't think twice about going back to zoosk. I'm actually shocked at all the negativity I've read here regarding Zoosk.
There's always 2 sides of a coin.

I think Zoosk got sold a while back and ever since then it hasn't been the same. My friend use to swear by Zoosk for finding hookups but not so much anymore. He didn't tell me the details but the guy is good looking and has money so it is not him.

tons of bad feedback on trustpilot for example
This site is a fraud
This site is a fraud. Don't ever give them your credit card number. They will charge you even if you try to cancel your subscription. These folks should be under criminal investigation. I hope some lawyer will start a class action lawsuit. Write your senator or congressman to launch an investigation. They charged me again after I tried to cancel.

I actually started to focus on trying to find a significant other. Then I realized when someone sent a message would almost sound the sound nice smile or similar. Then a few messages exchanges via their site ... both agreed to let's talk. Excited so I move forward provide my number to call ... NEXT response I would receive back four (4) where going out of town can't talk till their return ... REALLY from close to template message from many profiles TO odds of four (4) out of four going to out town ... LIKELY of this happening is slim to none ... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ... move on to another site.

ZOOSK – I would agree run
I have read the reviews appears from other participate(s) here on this forum stating would receive what appeared to be a template message stating nice smile or similar statement(s) THEREFORE did screenshots of their introduction messages. Yes! Very close in all private messages I received.
PRIOR TO ME CATCHING ON!
Of course, if I had interest in a person, there would be several message exchanges of nice conversations WHERE next step be verbal conversation. NONE of these guys ever offered their number HOWEVER I did offer mine inviting them to contact me based on their convenience stating look forward to speaking with them within the immediate future.
Next message from approximately 5 guys they were going out of town, extended vacation and or etc. never heard from person again BUT their profile showing up Online Now Connections tab.
Then I realized all these are fake messages and profiles. Such a disappointment of belief profiles were real.
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY on ZOOSK!
Unconfirmed if other dating sites have same issue from what I discovered on Zoosk
FYI - Men profiles lack of education
Based on wealth of profiles I have reviewed ... appeared be a dating site with no degrees and many blue collar workers. Not that there is anything wrong with person education or profession but would not be inline with my ideally significant other for fact I do have Advanced degree and income exceeds over $100K per year.
Best of luck in your search ! I do hope my statements made will assist you not to exhaust your time on Zoosk !
