To be honest it was hard to want to date during this Covid 19. But I finally gave in and agreed to a Take out Date. Through texting.We never even talked to each other.And he showed up with a dozen of long stemed Roses. I was blown away by him right away. Tall and so handsome.He was nothing but smiles and complements.We are so much alike. Have lots in common. I do believe things happen for a reason.And I am so happy to have found Ernie on this site.

Very useless site with terrible search engine, Connections on Carousel are mostly bots and fake profiles used to keep you hooked. Charges are always higher than you expected. Zoosk is really overpriced, if you take into account price-quality ratio (with zero quality!) It's full of fake profiles, stolen photos and identities. Their appalling customer service never ban them. I don't need to waste my money and time on Zoosk anymore and I don't recommend it to anyone. However if you decide to use it, protect yourself, use your common sense and your gut feeling a lot, since Zoosk isn't going to protect you from fakes and scammers.
Anyway, I've had enough of it and left it.

First off, I am a 61 year old Italian American in great shape form eastern Massachusetts, if any woman need a date, send me a message, maybe we click, maybe not, not desperate at all, just want to complimant my life. ZOOSK is a a scam, it is by far the fakest dating website I have ever seen, DO NOT JOIN ZOOSK. I was scammed twice, NOBODY responds, every thing you try to do you need to pay more. A complete ripoff. If I could give less than a 1, I would. I reported two of the scams while I was on that site to the feds. If you send a message NOBODY responds, you see it look like someone viewed you but NOBODY responds which ells me it's all a scam, the owners should be arrested

My matches were ridiculously inappropriate with no regard to my search criteria. I contacted some of them but there was no reply. Also, Zoosk likes to add bogus charges: think twice before you get the paid subscription there, and if you do get it, make sure they don't put you on automatic renewal and don't charge you for a full year right away. Read the fine print as they love to take your money - as much money as they can, legally and not so legally. I don't need to waste my time on Zoosk anymore and I don't recommend this site to anyone. However if you decide to use it, protect yourself, use your common sense and your gut feeling, since Zoosk isn't going to protect you from fakes and scammers.

Cons
1. No spell or grammar checker
2. Window for typing messages only 5 lines with 1 to 6 words/line. You are always scrolling up and down to read your entire message. This small window makes it easy to miss spelling errors, wrong tense missing words etc.
3. In 3.5 months 2 women tried to scam me for money. 1 for $5,000. A 3rd maybe trying to scam me but hasn't asked for money yet.
4 Another profile had 6 "verified " photos. Me and 2 friends agreed they weren't the same woman. When I complained, ZOOSK removed the profile
5. ZOOSK provides a list of women that have looked at my profile. I contacted 2 that ZOOSK said looked at my profile several times, both women said they hadn't looked at my profile. Which makes sense because both live over 800 miles from me.
6. Customer service jumps to conclusions and answers questions before reading the entire question. Having jumped to a conclusion they give a stock answer to a different question. This results in having to keep asking the same question several times before customer service finally answers the original question.

7. ZOOSK keeps telling me that women that live 100 to 400 miles from me are looking at my profile. How many women are interested in dating a man that live 1 to4 hours from them
8. ZOOSK encourages me to ignore messages sent to me if I'm not interested in a woman. That is ZOOSK encourages rude behavior. Rather than send a canned not interested
9. ZOOSK has an auto replay feature, so as you send a message, you get a canned auto reply. So you never know if someone is interested in you or not until they haven't responded to second or 3rd message.

10 there is no way to tell is a person is active or not on ZOOSK. This means you could send a message to someone that hasn't been on ZOOSK for a year. I asked about this and customer service confirmed this correct.
