This was an okay experience for meeting plenty of women, but in my age group (40-50), most women seem unable to commit, and preoccupied with sex.

Don't get me wrong, I love sex, but when a profile says they're looking for a "relationship", it doesn't lead me to believe they're looking for sex. And yet, the majority of women think that sex is first, and the rest might come later.

Seeing as I'm looking for the whole thing, not just sex, the challenge was to find someone who wanted to actually get to know me. In the end, I dated for the better part of a year. I had several offers for sex. I dated one for three months and we indeed enjoyed great sex, but in the end it didn't work. She wasn't available most of the time, and therefore we didn't really get to know each other.

I ended up meeting someone from a social media site instead. We got to know each other first, before the sex. And now, it's simply amazing, sex included.

My bad experience from all of this... I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH! I cancelled my POF account. I thought by cancelling, I'd also be cancelling the billing. Such is NOT the case! A month after I closed my account, my credit card had a charge for six months of premium membership! Wtf?

I wrote an email and they replied with instructions on how to cancel the billing. The problem is that I don't have an account! I can't sign in to cancel the automatic billing, because the account doesn't exist! I replied and they ignored my reply. There is a disclaimer about emails, that they don't answer all of them. That means me that if it helps their bottom line, they'll f*** over whoever they want.

I called my credit card company and they provided me a new credit card.

I did not get a refund for the six months of subscription I can't even use!

It's sad that POF can actually legally commit fraud.

All in all, it's a great meat market, if you're looking to get laid. I don't believe the overtly sexual behavior of women is the fault of website. Society's f'd up in that regard. No wonder there are so many failed relationships!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER pay for a subscription!

Back three years ago I used Zoosk to meet a nice woman. At that time, I wrote messages and about two or three times a week I'd get replies. In three months, I dated seven or eight women, and met one whom I'd end up living with for a while. To make a long story short, things between us didn't work out. She was suffering from depression and wouldn't do anything proactive to help and we went out separate ways.

So because it presented me a number of opportunities then, I figured it would be good to use it again.

Cisco K. Did a great job reviewing it. I'm going to basically repeat what he said.

I've been on for over a month now, and I've written messages to about 200 women. I'm fit, attractive, financially stable with a career love kids, have one teenaged son, love animals, I own a home and a car, and I'm clean cut with all my hair and teeth. Why have I not gotten a single response? I was teased with a couple women who "accepted my chat request", but they would never write me back. After the accepted chat request, I assumed they wanted to chat right then. I would write a short hello etc. and never would she answer!

I believe the majority of profiles are old and abandoned. They're left as decoys to entice people to join. I'm pissed because I purchased six months of this crap. I'm going to spread the word. It does this company no good to offer a service like this. If this keeps up, they will fail. The service is not good and I will never use Zoosk again. And others will catch on. That's the way consumers work. Word of mouth will prevail!
