Member Comments on Zoosk

When will i get my Zoosk-full refund? Signed up by mistake, fingers are crippled, could not hit delete, hit ok by mistake.

I joined Zoosk and soon found out that (as I should have known) you have to subscribe to contact other members. I said well, ok, no problem so I click subscribe button for the one month plan for $24.99, I believe. Anyhow, to my surprise, they also charge a onetime "fee" for $24.99? I don't think so!! No other dating sites do this, at least not to my knowledge. Forget Zoosk. Use "Are You Interested" instead.

@Dale Henry Actually mate, people like me with aspergers syndrome turn to dating sites because we feel extremely uncomfortable around people, like in pubs and clubs we feel uncomfortable, so dating sites are our only hope of finding someone special.

I would have given a higher rating if things would have gone differently. I first created the account in June and was already interested in one person in particular. Unfortunately, I wasn't familiar with PayPal so I decided to do the first payment by check, but the postal lock-out really delayed the payment processing. The person was no longer member a by the time, the subscription was completed (actually she left less than 24 hours before I was subscribed).

Twice since I've subscribed, I've sent e-mails to over 100 people, but among them only two did reply, but only once.

I would say, the period between late-September and late-October gave me a brief hope finally with this site, when three people expressed interest. Two of them had subscribed for a month and another one gave me her e-mail address.

After this brief period of hope, nothing for about 6 weeks, it's getting depressing and I seriously consider not extending the membership once it will expire. This site has been a big disappointment.

The big problem with the site is what some mentioned already is that the person you're interested in, must also be subscribed - They only have one chance. On my profile, I do put a semi-indication that I am a subscriber - still it doesn't help.

Seems, that each site has that one big problem that torpedoes many potential couple makings.

Unless something happens I'm not giving this site a passing grade.

Plenty of the members are just robot, fake photos and fake responses. When i simply tried to wink to same or different genders, the responses seem to be automatic with few pickup lines such as thank you for the wink, i appreciate your wink (read more) etc. They just want you to get subscribed to their site just to view the fake messages. The other party must subscribe in order to use the service. I will give this site NO stars if possible.

Ditto, one star only for the sake of commenting, otherwise would give minus 5. I keep getting Zoosk appear, totally unsolicited, in the apps notifications bar on my HTC - and there is no way I can see to remove it or block it. This is the thin edge of the wedge for Android. Does Google think its customers are going to sit back and take this appalling treatment?

Thank you to all the comments, I was going to sign up to Zoosk but after reading all of the comments I have decided not to.

@Rick Michael Don't worry. They ain't gonna be ripping off anyone else.

I have had 2 payments taken from my credit card by Zoosk.com London extra to the monthly subs. I am trying to get these refunded through my credit card provider Oct/2011. Three emails to Zoosk customer services have not had a reply! I noted that the 6 months subs had been set to continue without my approval/ knowledge on October 22 so I cancelled it totally.

I just deleted my account on zoosk. I didn't even bother to pay 30 friggin dollars or more just to talk to people who can't respond back because they would rather not pay 30 dollars either. Once I found out I couldn't read my messages I deleted my account. I find it funny they ask you before you officially delete your account why you are deleting it. That's kind of a stupid question considering they should realize by now they suck at managing a "friendly" dating site.

@Dale Henry All dating sites are waste of time if you are ugly. Nothing can help you if you are ugly. So get handsome.

All dating sites are a waste of time and money. It is sad that someone has to turn to dating websites to meet someone just rather ask someone out in person.

The advertising is very misleading, it is not free and they charge a $24.95 activation fee in addition to the monthly rate.

Yeah it's a rip off I paid for 3 months got charged for 8 months at $100 then I'm now a premium member but I can't meet anyone because they don't show whose online and they don't let non paying members contact you most dating sites let you contact each other if one of you is a paying member. I downloaded the Zoosk Messenger as well and that has made no difference. I'm going back to Cupid.com.

I happen to love your site it's great to email them and chat with them. i can joke with the best of them, i am very outgoing. i love to help people… if they needed the shirt off my back i would give it to them. So i would rate you a plus 10 and more. My name is martx so thanks again. i hope to get back some mail. Have a wonderful day and night.

I think Zoosk is a great place to talk to people and chat on i find it to be very helpful. I happen to love being on line talking to all the good guys you have on your site. I would rate you a plus 10.

Trial memberships? If only. Might have saved me $75 for 6 mos. Welcome to America. ;)

@Shane Same here. I balked at paying the $25 Activation Fee and clicked away, after entering all that info. Then, while I was still on the site ten min later, a banner appears informing me that my AF would be waived if I acted in 24 hours. I bit. $75 for six months is okay. I'm not getting into the whole coin scam. They will get $75 period, and I have some buyer's remorse over that. Yeah, plenty of "non-paying members", like 80%+! Shady as all hell. We'll see.

I came across a lot of mens profiles that had their personal information on display in clear view for all to see...such as email address and full name. I tried to do the same thing because i don't want to pay the $30 for the one month membership but my info was deleted and half assed sentences remained so it appeared as though i know jack shit about the English language and i need proper grammar and punctuation classes. And i was an A student in my English classes in college!! Very frustrating!

Why the hell would you sign up and use that through your Facebook anyway? Just like with any of those stupid game apps, that is just asking for access to your profile...like you found out the hard way. I'm just boggled over how people would spend money on that site!
