I wish I could have figured out how to turn off all the notifications. The guys who I was trying to communicate with on Zoosk would get pushed down to the bottom because I'd get notified every time someone even viewed me. So I'd have what seemed like hundreds of notices and my guys were getting lost in the mess. :( otherwise, there are definitely lots of options that would have otherwise been difficult to meet in everyday life.

Awful site
February 2, 2015

Awful site. It seems like only the worst most despicable men sign up on this site. Also, if you are looking for a fit attractive man you're not going to find it here. If you want crazy, unattractive, just sex, and the biggest losers on the planet then sure sign up. I met a great man on Match.com. Not perfect either but at least there are some good ones there. This place is definitely a nightmare. Run away!

Overcharged
September 5, 2015

There are a lot of ppl on this site, better than most. But we also pay one of the highest premiums. I don't think it's right to have to purchase coins to do many things! Because of this, if things don't work out with him, I'll look at other sites.

I had, many contacts, some very nice woman. Many want to text, I can only say that you do not know anyone from texting. There is no way to hear their character. To feel their passions they may have.
You cannot succeed in finding anyone unless you are truly ready to open yourself up.
I did and so did she we wasted no time in meeting and it has gone great.
I wish all success in their search.

The worst dating website! The only goal is Making money. It blocks all the members you express interest and let you buy " coins" to unblock it. You can never reach a customer support... she even hang up my phone when I talking about withdraw and never call me back!

I dont like the sound of "online dating"and joined the site for pure peer pressure. Met someone very special within 3 days and last weekend, after dating for 11 months, we are married. Him, his 2 kids... me and my 2 kids.
I thought i should say thanks here. :)

For taking a stab in the dark like with online dating, Zoosk's price tag was a little steep for me. I took the risk and ended up meeting someone who I am now very much in love with. I have used other dating sites, and Zoosk tends to have more members looking for serious relationships which is also what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend it if you plan on buying the subscription, but totally worthless without it.

I wish I had of seen these reviews before I paid my money on this site. From day one it is an atrocity and absolute rip off.
The site appears to have members, but after you pay you realise they are just non paying browsers, with Zoosk using me as an ''attraction for some 500 people are reading my profile in the first few days to join,, but none of them are members, Messages from 20 year olds to 70 year olds are disturbing, the site tries to match me up with anything and everything that is in contrast to my requests, it wants you to accept conversations (for more money) with people you know nothing of except the image.

I have been taken for a ride

I am not all that crazy about the Zoosk website. I put down information on the age group of women I would like to meet yet I would still receive information on women much younger than I was interested in meeting. Also I think it is expensive for all the add ons available. However, a woman did message me and we are now dating. Thank you for this!

I subscribed to two other online dating sites and was very disappointed with one of them. It had too many scammers on there. The other dating site was able to catch and name the scammer and notify me by email, blocking them from contacting me again! That was a great service offered by them. However, I decided to try Zoosk after seeing an add while I was in my facebook and I am so very glad I did! I met the love of my life there and only ran into one scammer on my journey. :D Thank you, Zoosk!

Scam
May 22, 2018

I just began using Zoosk because it was rated the #1 dating site. All I get is add on notifications (after I paid for several months of a subscription) stating if I purchase their add ones I can be more visible. How horribly unattractive and unprofessional a statement such as that can be made. If this continues to occur I will be cancelling my subscription.

The other reviews I read say it all. Zoosk wants more money to buy coins to access features that should be included and in my opinion are implied to be. Don't waste your time and money here. Match.com was much better. I happen to think that most of the profiles are dormant. Just left overs of people that gave up on this pathetic rip off!

Scam Site
October 28, 2020

When you are a free member you instantly start getting messages from impossibly beautiful women who are obviously nothing more than Zoosk bots trying to bait you into signing up so you can read your "messages" from these fake accounts, total scam

Don't do it!
October 2, 2015

Way too many "games" and it is not user friendly!. I would recommend any other dating website before I would suggest Zoosk. They ell you someone wants to chat and they are not even there. You have to buy "coins" just to see if a message has been seen. That is on top of the cost to join!
Do not sign up for this website!

I enjoyed meeting new women and some becoming fun friends. I then met someone that I knew was worth exploring and seeing where the relationship would lead. At this time, I think it is only respectful to pull my profile and focus on this special person.

Give it a chance
December 7, 2015

I was on here for a week. I was about to give up. Many people never answer or won't actually spend any coins to open a chat or whatever. But, you do get to see a lot of pictures and most people who are serious about finding someone, have filled out their profiles completely. If they do not have the maximum pictures and their profile is not completely filled out, they are probably not trying any harder than the effort displayed in their profile. As far as a specific review by a woman, I never encountered any weird or rude men. I did notice a couple of profiles that I thought were probably spam. I reported those. The chat functions are slow and unwieldy. But, by some miracle, I managed to meet a great guy. So, don't give up right away. Be VERY clear about how you are, what you want and the type of person/relationship you are looking for. I think that is the best way to be successful.

Has to be the worst implementation of a dating site I have ever seen. Impossible to actually search for people and get meaningful results; you will get search results, on the odd page they let you use filter criteria, but some of them will be 5+ years old, with no indication that they haven't logged in since that time. A huge waste of time to get meaningful results.

Even the online now search has no filter; want to chat with people nearby? Too bad, here is someone 2000 miles away!

I can't possible emphasize strongly enough that no one should ever use this site.

Great opportunity
October 7, 2017

I think I would never meet such a nice guy like Ricky elsewhere. We met on Zoosk, two busy people that would never meet under other circumstances. We bonded immediately and started dating at the same day we spoke on the phone. I don't go much out, I work almost every day and it's extremely difficult for me to find anyone. Previous relationships ended up because of my schedule mostly. Ricky is also very busy and stressed out at work. But the chemistry that we have made impossible to be doable. We found time to see each other. We spend weekends together and we are enjoying each other so much. I am blessed to meet such a person. Thank you Zoosk for amazing job!

Scammers
April 15, 2019

Every day I received photos of 2-5 young hot girls with a profile claiming to be between my search of 48-58 with a text me@ number on the photo. I reported to Zoosk many times, and nothing was ever done. The final straw was when another guys profile overrode my profile page, and his photos and information showed up but I still saw all his conversations. I reported to Zoosk and they blocked and cancelled my membership. This has got to be the worst dating site in history. I give them a 1 because zero isn't an option.

Best date site.
June 29, 2016

Zoosk is the best site out of three including Match. I would recommend this to my best friend. Interaction is superior. The least actually no date site scams for me (lots of tries on match). Simple and effective and with other sites there is too many options that cost extra. My only advise is don't ever buy coins.
