First off, I do believe Zoosk is a legitimate site. Although I haven't gone out with any women, I have chatted with a few. Nothing has led me to believe that any of them were bogus profiles.

Zoosk boats millions of members. But the REAL problem is in the number of abandoned profiles. I did a search within 50 miles of my location and Zoosk returned 269 different profiles. Pretty darn good, eh? NO! Of those profiles, only 34 appeared to be active. The rest? Who knows, but they haven't been attended to nor ever deleted. That means that nearly 87% of the profiles on Zoosk are a total waste of time as the users are long gone.

A couple of examples:

Some profiles start out saying "I am 49 years old and...". Yet, Zoosk states their age as 54.

Some photographs have the digital date stamps on them. Many I saw were 4-6 years old. One profile I saw had photos with digital date stamps of 2004 and 2005! So what you see is not what you'd be getting!

As a result, you'll need a shovel to dig your way through the deadwood. Even at 34 seemingly active profiles, a small few may remain once you pass by the Angus-sized beheffers. And good luck getting any of the good ones to reply.

Update 9-1-16: Another Thing I noticed.

The Zoozk "Boost" feature is an extra cost option which highlights your profile in several different fashions allowing you to receive many new views in a very short period of time (typically 1 hour). However, you need to be online to activate (pay) it. This would mark you as either "Currently online" or "Recently Online" in case you log off before your boost runs out.

It appears that if Zoosk isn't getting enough paying members to fill their boost, they just choose profiles at random. Again, you are being directed to dead profiles. Once you click onto a profile, it is not marked with either the "Currently Online" or "Recently Online" tags indicating the member never authorized or paid for the boost.
