There seem to be about 5 interests that 90% of the women have... "The Notebook," "House," "Kings of Leon," the "Twilight Saga," and "Vin Diesel." Awfully suspicious! I chatted with one woman for a while--definitely a real chat, and she told me a little bit about "The Notebook" and "House"; but I couldn't tell if she was a real person looking for a date, or some guy in Bangladesh following a boring outline. I'm thinking of getting out, though I have the impression there are plenty of real people mixed in with fake profiles.

Update: I straight out called one "woman" out on being a bogus profile and said "you guys are going to get busted for this scam." Message back: yep.

2nd update: I joined Match.com and found way better results immediately. I am now dating a woman from there steadily. But I did end up responding to a few women from Zoosk who contacted me, and I told them all about my experiences with these fake profiles, and I was surprised that there were a couple of obviously real people with fully, developed personalities. They told me it wasn't the same experience on the women's side of the site. In spite of my own experience and regrets with Zoosk, I'm inclined to believe user experience probably does vary a lot. I also think a lot of the reviews on this very site here are fake, but I wouldn't discount all of the positive ones; I'd just recommend using a different dating site anyway.
