Love the fact that I had so many matches and options right away. It keeps you engaged not boring. Love the features and ease of use.
Women don't want to meet like on Jst4HookUp And other legit platforms. I have never had an issue with ladies there. I thought Zoosk would be a similar site, but it turned out to be completely opposite: full of scam, corrupt at every level, with exuberant costs - a daylight robbery. There are bunch of scammers using other people's pics to fleece gullible men out of their money via endless chatting.
I found that the different features aren't set up to give you a chance to see enough about the person you are veiwing. The Carousel wants you to make a decision on one picture and no information about that person. The Smart Pick feature also doesn't give you a chance to see the users pictures clearly. The Viewed you feature shows mostly the same people over and over again. I get Likes from people that never responded to my return messages. Save your time and money.
I did meet someone however there are some real creepy looking people on here that wanted to contact. I know everyone wants to find a partner for life but some of these guys would make me a feel like a prisoner for life.
I am happy I met someone. BUT there was no way to filter the age group of who can view me. I was getting way too many messages from men beyond my age preference. I would have loved a filter to where only men from 36-45 could see me. Instead I seemed to be popular among the 50 plus age group which is complete false advertisement.
I would give you a better review but the fact i have to give you information on who I met and how. I'm a private person and dont need to share who when and where. Also having to jump through hoops to delete is really annoying... just accept the fact I met someone and be happy with it.
I was duped twice by a scammer who stole identities of other men and after a few messages he wanted my phone number... BIG mistake... always do all communication on the site... This scum bag pretended to be a chemical engineer each time and pretended to be very rich... yadayadayada Zoosk does nothing about it... use another dating company
I've been trying to get back into the dating world and haven't had much luck considering the coronavirus and everything, so I looked into online dating. Zoosk was a top recommendation so I gave it a go. Unfortunately Zoosk, like many other dating sites, is nothing more than superficiality and shallow people. It's all about the picture. And yes, while I was getting many likes, they weren't good MATCHES. Sure, you can be a hunk of a man, but so what? I care about your character and personality. Who you truly are at heart and that's the problem with Zoosk and other dating sites. Many people don't focus on one's character and personality. It's all about that picture. Whose hot and whose not. And personally I find that terribly sad and superficial. With the virus keeping things on lockdown it's hard to get out and mingle and meet people like I used to be able to do and I am so sick and tired of the superficiality of these dating apps like Bumble, Zoosk, and especially Tinder. If you're looking for a serious relationship, I wouldn't look on Zoosk.
A couple years ago I got divorced and joined the site. Not knowing I had joined the ex did the same thing. We're on good terms so when the ex contacted me to say he got an alert from Zoosk that I wanted to meet him we cracked up. Fast forward to current day I'm engaged (he's happily single) and he messages me saying that he got an alert from Zoosk that I want to meet him AGAIN…. He sent me the pic of my bio that he received. We both cracked up even more cause we know this site is fake as heck. Thing is on the same day he got his alert I got one but mine was even shadier. Zoosk thanked me for subscribing …. It included some fake credit card number that was used. The first thing I did was check my subscriptions to make sure they didn't fraudulently charge my card. They didn't, obviously it was just a ploy. All I can say is good or bad this site can be very entertaining.
I am new to online dating and Zoosk is my first experience. I was happy with the connections I made, but when I canceled I was charged for an additional 3 months. I would have given them a great review until this happened.
I canceled 2 days before my acct expired, I received email from Zoosk that I could use may acct until it expired. I used it the day before it expired and was charged for 3 more months. Now, I am trying to get my money back in 5 to 10 days! I think they will refund, I hope!
Be careful and watchful if you cancel. And be suspicious of what they tell you in emails.
Too many fakes and too hard to cancel... it's unreasonable to have to struggle to cancel auto pay...,
Trying to get response about them charging me way to much. Haven't heard back. Not happy... as I didn't even have all the features offered... something went wrong... very unhappy and asking for money back.
Signed up for a month with reply paid to try the site. Ten 'women' profiles showed as viewed my profile. I responded to two. No response back. Placed a block on all 10 profiles. Next morning, same 10 profiles shown as having viewed my profile.
Is the site admin playing games with people? Site admin pretending to own fake profiles to draw men to the site? I wonder how many females profiles are genuine and how many created by the site to look like a successful site.
Hes wonderful such an amazing person, I mostly enjoyed talking to him and finding out what a wonderful person he is. Sometimes the diamond in the roig j. G is the best thing that ever happened to you
I have a mixed review on Zoosk. It is not a really bad site, but it could be much better. There are not many potential profiles within my location. Their suggestions to expand the filters is good, but only if you prefer to travel several hundred miles to meet someone. There are people who may "like" you; however, whether one may actually meet these individuals is another zoosk story. After 60 days, there is no refund possible, even if you have purchased a 6 month package. My workable advice is to join groups in your location through MeetUp who may share similar interests with you, and possibly meet someone that way.
Tip for consumers:
No refund after 60 days
Difficult to go back and forth between searching and messaging. Kept having to reenter my profile parameters. Sent me matches all the time that weren't within my filter. Couldn't view profiles on the carousel and had to accept or reject to move on
Why do we have to pay to meet someone on line or to CHAT with?
When we can just go out and meet someone just the same and not have to pay. Plus a lot of those guys are really not into getting to know you at all. They give you their number they talk to you once and thats the end of it. Why not be honest and say your not interested? I can literally write so much about these dating websites.
I met a total of eight men all have been a scam. Right off the top they want money. They either go to another country, announcing they are business people, then have no way to get home. I have met one gentlemen, we have connected, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If you cancel subscription, I think your subscription ends and no more money is removed from your account.
The interface is limited and it's difficult to figure out how to respond to messages. Matches aren't the best as well.
All dating sites are suspect and Zoosk has a limited amount of women who are genuine and authentic. The same profiles have been around for years. There are scammers and fakes from what I experienced. Membership is pricey but probably in line with other date sites.
I was receiving many hearts and want to meet until I paid. Now the hearts do not respond and not receiving anything. Those I contacted that wanted to chat have disappeared. I have had a couple scammers that I traced down. I feel I have been taken by Zoosk. Money lost over fake likes and hearts. Do not waste your money. None have returned my messages after their initial greeting. Zoosk sent them. What an unfair practice to get you to sign your money away.
Tip for consumers:
That a majority of profiles are fake, not verified as mine was, and fake want to chat, hearts and messages. When contacted there was no response. Dried up when I became a paid member immediately
I found Zoosk.com to have 3 out of 10 women were scammers looking for money... They have even teamed up with a woman with a profile on Zoosk who references her "friend" who wants to meet you but doesn't have an online profile herself. This was a major red flag to me. Some very pretty girls turn out to have husky male voices on calls. Photo verifications and profile scrubbing by Zoosk support would help with these problems. While a fairly easy-to-use platform and I appreciated the SmartPicks, I do not feel that it was worth the money I spent on it.
Tip for consumers:
You get what you pay for... Just watch out for scammers and catfishers... There are a lot of them out there.
I'm 71 years old & have been on Zoosk almost a year. Recently changed my email address. I sent my new address to Zoosk and they tried to send a Verification of Email without success. (From what I saw online, the capitals in the email address were in lower case). Sent another email address-- same thing happened. Called from the phone number they have on file and spoke with Zoosk representatives personally -- not good enough. Was told I'd have to provide yet another email for Verification but in the meantime I'd have a week to get this in. The next day I was called about the email Verification and told them that unless certain letters were capitalized, the address would not work; I was assured the address was properly typed in by them but whatever Verification they wanted from me still did not appear in my mail. At that point I was frozen out. I could not send any mail and when I went into 'Carousel' function I could not get out. A pop up kept appearing telling me to provide a new email and then the photo below would appear. They taunted me numerous times with this photo.
Now, older people have enough trouble with high blood pressure and mine was raised considerably. They have my phone number on file and most companies (including Paypal!) phone with a code so you can provide Verification. I was being punished because my email provider apparently wasn't letting their Verification email go through.
Periodically messages sent to other members have not been received and a few times there have been other taunting incidences on Carousel. Can't help but think they're having a good time at my expense. Match and Our Time really didn't work out for me and can't say Zoosk has been much better. At this point I probably won't renew; the idea of making friends to do activities appeals but it's difficult to continue when such disrespect is directed.
I am Caucasian, college graduate. The photo of the man Zoosk kept sending to me and I tried unsuccessfully to upload, is of an older, disheveled African American who is looking bug eyed into the camera with a caption: "He likes you!".
I am sorry, but I found this website unacceptable. It was difficult to maneuver and find what you were looking for. Just because someone looks at your story doesn't mean they are interested. There were too many bad photos, too many profiles with insufficient information and some with no information at all. I even received a request for my email address from someone that had already canceled their subscription. Luckily I was astute enough to recognize the red flag. I would not recommend this dating service to anyone. I am very disappointed
Zoosk is somewhat effective in meeting someone. In the profiles there are a lot of Zoosk smployees that simply put, try to sell upgrades. I tested this by posting 2 profiles and caught girls sending me messages on an introductory profile in which I had to pay to see them. On my paid for profile I tried to get the same group of girls to chat and they would not even look at me. I did find somebody but you have to spend a lot of time on the site and stick to a specific type of person that you are looking for. And then you have to look threw a lot of people till you find the real people that are looking.
I joined this site 6 month ago and met a potential someone; but he lied about his marital status... and acted kind of crazy. I am a middleage attractive woman with much to offer. The strange thing is, I only get messages from strange/ scary looking characters, which I block all the time and they come-up again... How? I just don't know. And approximately less than ten a month. I feel like I joined a ghost-town site full of crazies! Not worth the time :(
