Horrible horrible site, avoid at all costs! It's just an expensive scam!
I would give a HUGE 0, but you have to give at least 1 star. I joined this fake site 1 week ago, immediately started messaging back & forth w/ a "fake" guy that "lives" 83 mi away. I think this person is an employee to get me "hooked" to Zoosk, / the "fake" attention. I will NEVER believe this guy is real. The person I was "corresponding" with was. Very very good at seeming real, they are not in another country. I can't point to any one thing that raised flags, except that "he" seemed too good to be true; never talked money, or "love" --- just "enchanting", I cancelled my "stupid tax" subscription within a few hours. I also wrote to Zoosk-- told them they had better not continue my subscription. I also made 3 more fake accts... and wow! The phony "guy" sent my phony lady's messages within an hour or 2. I do have to add here, that I happen to know several guys (my age) personally on zoosk. I went to HS with them. And reconnected with 1-- so, there are real ppl on there. But all the comments below mine are TRUE. So, you have to take every single message with a BUCKET of salt. I'm also thinking this is true for EVERY dating site, same as "real life". You can't give your trust away, it HAS to be earned. I find online dating sites to be merely entertainment. It feels addicting, logging on daily to "see what cute guy might notice me". I imagine it's the same for most of us. so, in the meantime, no one is able to filter through all the phony's, liars, cheats,. And I think much of it may be good ppl. But no one can focus on the "new messager, bc we have soooo many ppl messaging, we don't want to ignore anyone. Etc, etc, etc",.
My experience was exactly the same - Lies! Lies! Lies! What an expensive hunk of crap that experience was. Maybe we should all start our own forum somewhere? There's certainly enough single people here, we all have the disaster of Zoosk to get talking? Reddit?
I get tons of emails saying women want to meet me but i have never even signed up for zoosk and they dont have my details. They were sold on to zoosk by another dodgy date site, theyre all in it together to scam guys, stay way from them all, theyre all scammers
I am really happy with the experience and feel so fortunate to have found that rare connection that some never get the opportunity to find.
All fake ladies!
Robot/system generated first contact messages, then nothing.
FAKE!
Its always funny to see so many 1 star ratings then suddenly there is a high rating. Usually a 4 or 5 star "I love it" review! Usually by a fake account...
I tried Zoosk once. I left it wondering how many bots are there?
Current stats at the time of this posting.
525 reviews with 388 one star rating!
Interesting and exciting experience to meet some normal people who were quite sincere about dating
Total scam fake profiles to get you to bye the subscription. The Sims fake messages to get you to buy the coins and by their gifts actually just send the note to a computer there's no real person at the other end. It is a total scam go to eharmony.com or match.com
All I can say is the 2 reviews that gave this site 5 stars, Nice try founder and co-founder but majority rules here. I only gave it a 1 star because 0 was not an option. The worse site period...
It was great, much better than some sites I had been on, so for now I will say good buy and hope it works for both of us. Arthur Wellman.
I found this site very confusing to use. I did not like the coins/carosel feature. I felt that the site should have used my preferences to prevent me from being an option on someone's carousel that did not match the preferences I chose for dating. I also didn't like that every time I scanned a picture to see who viewed me, it let them know that I viewed them. And after I deleted a bunch of views, all of the men I deleted came back up on my recently viewed, because they thought I viewed them. Very frustrating. However, I was fortunate to meet someone after several attempts to find the right person, so that was the bonus.
It is a scam. Complete BS. The website (or its creators) has no sincere interest in finding you a person that you might have a connection with. Their interest is, getting you to open your wallet again and again, and again. I have no problem for paying, for actual "things" that I could conceive as a tangible purchase, such as goods or service, Zoosk offers none of this. Complete crap. Will recommend against, to all who ask.
I liked that there were possible matches close to me, but I had a hard time typing in the box. I found it difficult to go over my text to check for errors that might cause misunderstandings, because the box is so small. I would have preferred one like this one so I could see what I typed without having to scroll backwards, etc. I was frustrated with the process.
I paid $19.95 for "virtual coins". These don't allow you to correspond with any members, but only to buy virtual gifts? I wrote them an email and told them to take their virtual coins and shove them up their virtual $#*!. The site is a scam. Avoid at all costs.
Disappointing.
Costly, plus additional charging.
Questionable replies.
Had photo removed, as it showed a shoulder, and barely visible area of stomach.
Verdict, in my opinion, a complete waste of time and money.
Horrible site! Frustrate as all get out... stay away! Save your money... Match.com way more user friendly! They also have STIR events and get together... go with Match!
Zoosk rips you off by making you buy coins after you pay for subscription. They hide that fact embedded down in their hyperlinks. When you play carousel to earn coins they take that away after a short while. Even earning coins to contact people you don't get to see their full profile beforehand-just a pic. Terrible site!

I made the statement of along the line of I met a guy from Zoosk. I began talking too. I found out that he was a fraud, and that all he wanted was money. Of coarse he was from Ghana/ Nigeria running the biggest scam out of Nigeria. As it turns out the whole was a big scam.
Same story here fake messages fake replies etc etc. almost joined but balked at the activation fee so they offered to waive it, but i still declined. Coincedentally after my refusal i started getting messages from numerous attractive girls out of the blue.
