Yes you have to pay to get the good stuff. They are in business to make money DUHHH! I have 4- 5 dates on Zoosk and also on Match. Met great people on both. Half you people that make comments should maybe try dating outside of your trailer park. You are always gonna get desperate people but you just weed through and power on. I did. Then I went on a date found someone and we are totally happy. In fact we are buying a sailboat and naming it Zoosk..
