I can't believe the number of "views" I get on this site and I'm not a registered member. It feels fake somehow. Are they robo generated or are these guys really looking at my profile.

Don J is correct. Another thing they like to do is take someone you may have viewed and then notify you when they are online and tell you they want to chat with you when they showed no such interest in reality. The site plays a lot of games. I have completely lost interest in online dating. It seems every site has its games.

I believe they are looking at your profile. I only had great experiences with Zoosk. I met my future husband after 5 months on Zoosk. We married 2 years later:-) Best wishes with your search. Don't give up!

They are really looking at your profile. I met the woman of my dreams on Zoosk, and we are still going strong!

I have actually met good ladies on this site as compared to the more known ones. I am actually dating someone and it looks real promising. All sites have there drawbacks but this one is the best one I have been on. More genuine ladies here than the others.

Most of the "views" that you get will lead to absolutely nothing. The site is arranged like a carousel from where you can search profiles. The moment that you click on to any profile, it registers to the owner of the profile as a "view." This happens even if you are just casually searching and not interested in the profile. Also, since Zoosk keeps profiles even after your membership expires [most people like myself allow their membership to expire once they realize they've been suckered into joining this horrible site], you might very well be looking at a profile that is no longer active. Zoosk also automates the searches. I'm sure that my expired profile is out there "searching." Of course, you have no way of knowing who's profile is active and who's isn't. They don't tell you. For instance, I am no longer active, but they still keep my profile up.

I was an active member for 6 months and I did not meet one person! I would answer hundreds of messages and nobody would write back. Then I started realizing that many of the messages I received had the same generic messages.

I can't believe that this site is allowed to go on this way suckering everyone. What a rip off!

There is 1 million negative reviews about this website. Why would you even go on it?

Most of those people are NOT viewing you. Zoosk randomly populates your "Views" with people who may have scrolled past your profile but not actually viewed it. I suspect this instigates more communication, but is not really an honest way to run such a site.

Every time a man goes past your face while going through 'those on-line' it makes it appear as if we have actually opened and read your profile--when in reality all we did was pass you by... conversely, the only views we men receive are those who actually opened our profile. Pretty stupid isn't it. I suppose they just wish to boost the female ego haha

Avoid Zoosk. It's a rip off. I have been on four or five dating sites over the past five years and Zoosk is by far the worst.

It would take 3 or 4 men and 3 or 4 to get together and probe this web site to actually how it responds. My experience has been that I get a lot of "views" but hardly anyone wants to respond to chat messages. If there are that many women who are viewing my profile with interest in me, I should be getting a bunch to chat with me and some dates. As of this writing, NO dates. I think this site does manipulate the responses, that is, a "view" is not really a view. It's more like a scroll-by, if you will. Very deceptive. They are playing on your desire for the opposite sex to indicate they are interested in you when they really aren't.

Complete RIPOFF site... Do NOT join, you'll have to pay more $$ to even read messages, even though they got you for the monthly fee.

I have met several men from this site and 1 has become a serious relationship and we have been dating for 5 months. I found Zoosk to be reliable and an excellent resource for online dating. So yes there are success stories that are true!

To answer your question thus site simply leads you on most of those hits are simply not real font become a member it will produce no results except costing you a lot of money of all the sites this is the worst they simply. Feed off what they know we are all looking for that special some one that will make our life complete or give us that special feeling orca New best friend I got off this site quickly and write a bad review about it try POF or match at least you have a better chance or the deli counter st public chances are less than percent you will find your live on any if these sites but at least you will increase your chances and meet some great people along with some truly bad people depending on your age group love happens when you least expect it and when it does you have found life's greatest treasure but this site is the worst if them all
Good luck
