I deleted my Zoosk account some time ago. I went back on last night to learn that my profile was still up and viewable. (thank goodness I removed my picture and descriptions) but it explains when I felt such rejection- I would write men and they would not respond AT ALL., not a word. Every now and then I would get a communication with someone.
I called them today and told them to remove my profile from the site and the server. I am sure they will not.
BEWARE: there are profile up (lots of them) that the people in the picture don't even know your are writing them and they believe their profile is down.
SO WRONG

There is a lot NOT to like about Zoosk. Like any singles site out there they have lots of pictures. But here is what is a rip off:

1. If you edit your profile and put something in there that they do not like - I simply told people when I was canceling so we could figure out alternative way to keep in contact, I got an email saying "You profile has been accepted with minor changes." Well, the: minor" change was to totally eliminate what I put in my profile! They did this twice! So, censorship is alive and well at Zoosk even though it did NOT violate their terms f agreement.

2. They have the "Carousel" which is a series of pictures of potential partners. You either say you are interested or not. Problem is all they will show you is the picture. No location, nothing that would indicate they would be a match for you. You have to get "tokens" to do this. Then once you say you want to meet that person it costs you 30 tokens to actually see their profile. I can honestly ell you that 99% of the people they sent me lived at least 75 miles away.

3. When I complained to Zoosk about censoring my profile, they cancelled my subscription! They said I could still access my account for "free" although all I could do is see that people sent me messages. I could not rad anything or respond. Despite cancelling my membership when I looked at my account, they billed me for renewal for another month. When I wrote them complaining about charging me for a service they weren't providing me, they ignored my letter.

So, there are far better places to do business than Zoosk. To me their style of censorship and way of doing business, both when you have an issue with them, and taking you for a ride when actually using the site make this one of the worst online services!

After being a widow I didn't think I would find love again at 57! I started talking to Tom in February 2015 and we have been dating every since and are making plans for the future. I would recommend Zoosk to all my single friends! Great place to meet your next love and a great group of new friends!

Zoosk allowed me to meet a great person in 1 month, he is intelligent, hard working, sweet, compassionate. Everything I was looking for in a man. I had a few that I screened before I met him. He was the first and hopefully the last I will every have to meet again. Thank you Zoosk.

This was my first experience with joining a paid site and let me say that the free ones are better. You pay your fee and then you are supposed to collect "coins" to speak with people and you have to have 30. You go through "carousel" to collect these coins and are only allowed 40 a day. Let me say that carousel puts people randomly in there and you are supposed to say if you will date them. If you say "yes" or "maybe" you get a coin. You can also buy extra coins. Well, there is hardly anyone in the carousel that I am interested in.

GET THIS! One of the guys in carousel is actually a neighbor of mine. He NO LONGER has an account with Zoosk and they are still selling his profile. I emailed him about it. Well, I typed on my profile that "if you are seeing this profile after this date that it is fake". They keep removing my comment. Go figure! So I figure there are more fake profiles there. I will not renew. Before I cancelled my membership, I deleted my picture which I am glad I did.

When you delete you account, you must go back in and "deactivate" your account. Because your account will remain active, even though it is not. I thought I deactivated it prior, but was not.

This site is crazy expensive but does allow you to find singles in your area. I never paid for the full version but I was able to find someone in my town by using my real name as my username (not suggested), and so did the person I'm currently dating. We were able to meet after he found me on Facebook (you can't contact singles unless you pay so this worked out well). I'd suggest others to try this method if you don't want to pay and you feel safe using your real name; be sure to confirm through chatting on another social media site that anyone you're pursuing is a good person and not a serial killer as we're all afraid of on online dating!
