By far the best dating website in my opinion. I don't care too much for the gimmicky crap- this is straight up see someone or a match you like, send a message. They have good filters, and it's FREE. I've signed up for and deleted most all of the sites you pay for because after the trial nothing is better than POF with OK Cupid the close second.

I don't understand the argument where people say that people who can't fork out twenty to thirty bucks per month (per site?) aren't worth dating. Why pay for a site when you can get it better for free? We definitely would not get along when it comes to investment decisions.

I would vote it three and a half. The one and only reason I joined Twitter is to network for work purposes. Some people and companies just prefer Twitter. I've found that it's a way for me to get a hold of clients that are difficult to reach plus they can click on my LinkedIN profile for my stats.

I admit that I get extremely annoyed with having to abbreviate posts that are already pretty short. Probably more annoyed than I should but seriously, they need to increase the limit beyond one sentence. I do not like text abbreviations at all and having to spend extra time on making what I want to type fit without dumbing it down drives me nuts. (see, I could keep going. I'll stop, I've made my point- Twitter never would have allowed all of this)

Some of these reviews are from a few years ago and there have been improvements since. Networking is crucial to me- I'm a staffing consultant and I have actually gotten jobs as well as networking clients where I never would have been able to using anything else. I've flirted with the idea of paying for the upgraded service but I'm not entirely convinced it's worth it... you can get most of the benefits that are advertised but it takes a bit of time (and savvy) on your part to get around it.

I want to be found by potential clients so I do not hide- on the contrary I have a work Twitter account linked to LinkedIN as well as my work Facebook so anyone can find me depending on what they prefer to use.

I can say that for the amount they charge for premium services I've made exponentially in profit from clients and work I've gained from that site. If I could have done 4 and a half I would- the only annoying thing is not being able to message who you want to if you're not in network with them but people choose for it to be that way sometimes.

Some people like this site better than POF but I don't... OK cupid is a little gimmicky to me and there are less people I'd be interested in dating but I've been on both of those free sites and hands down they are so much better than any popular paid sites you see advertised (how do you think they pay for those advertisements? By charging you) Most people on those sites signed up for the free trial then went inactive once the trial is over.

There are free websites better than this one. Google the top free dating sites and see if Cupid isn't exactly the same as Zoosk except free. There are things that Cupid and Fish make you pay for but they never keep you from contacting anyone.

The statistics these paid sites put up there are SKEWED because they are counting people who sign up for the free trials then never get back on once the trial has ended. Don't waste your money.
