Zoosk - Dating Site Review

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

I went on Zoosk and wasted two hours of my life. I heard of zoosk from a television ad. To complete the profile it required you to link to facebook to tell about what TV shows you watch, what sports you watch and what games you like to play. I tried repeatedly to explain in the main section these personal likes of mine to keep having it edited in a very poor manner that made me look like an idiot that could not put together a sentence. I have my spelling and grammar problems, but they are mine and therefore ok in my profile. As the profile had a spot for this information and I was putting in another "spot", I felt the need to explain why so a potential reader would understand I can follow instructions and am not a total idiot. I tried to say I couldn't link to facebook as I had no account there. I explained that I do not, and have never used myspace or facebook. Apparently this is a problem for them and simply kept editing my profile removing various parts of sentences that left gibberish. Nowhere did it say facebook was required. At no time did I diss facebook. It's this simple, my profile my words, Frick the natzi profile police, give me freedom of speech. The prices were outrageous. Try a free site like plentyofish or datehookup that allows you to represent yourself and does not force entry into your bank account to communicate.

There are some dating sites that just dont take off.But what if a site was filled with people from Facebook who just want a secret meeting?

I am a former Zoosker who has received a complete refund of my membership monies paid and released from my membership. A business decision on their part, left me unsatisfied with Zoosk after being a member for over 2 months and when they found they could do nothing to satisfy my complaint, they refunded my entire membership monies not a pro-rated amount as most businesses normally do. I may be the only one, but I have found Zoosk to be a company that cares about customer service who has gone above and beyond when they were faced with my dissatisfaction. To me Zoosk is not that bad or a rip off!! To the comment you can't reply to a flirt without paying a membership fee - have you ever heard the saying 'you don't get something for nothing'?

@Dawn Holderness Doesn't seem to be any support for problems. very dissapointed in zoosk.

I signed up for 1 month, and yet zoosk charged me again and automaticaly the next month.

I think this is the WORST online dating site I have ever used! When you get charges from them for an escort service in London you will feel the same way too.

I don’t like the fact that i have to subscribe to read my messages and chat with friends; it just makes me not want to waste my time being on Zoosk.

I don't understand what the deal is with the 29+ dollars a month that's just robbery. More like 5 bucks a month and you would have tons more clients. I for one will not pay that much for a singles site and not many I know will when there are free ones out there. Try lowering the price a lot and see what happens. Even if it were under 10 dollars a month on a non regen account.

Not a good dating site. Free membership is useless. It lets you see flirts, but after one exchange each, it blocks not only future messages, but previous messages as well. It will let you exchange phone numbers, but not emails. No one in their right mind would give phone numbers in the one (and only) initial message you are allowed to send?? It offers no trial membership. I assume because few would go past that point. There is no privacy in viewing other profiles. If you view someone, there is no way to block them from knowing. Therefore if you don't like their profile, you still are hounded with their responses. The dating pool seems very limited. After a few days (or right after you join), most profiles are either obviously fake, or very strange, undesirable people. The cost is extremely high considering they offer much less options/features than other dating sites. I'm also disappointed that you cannot use Paypal with the one month subscription, but only with the longer ones. If you DO choose to purchase a subscription and quickly decide to cancel, there is no refund and you are cancelled immediately (could be $100's of dollars wasted). Thank goodness though, I didn't pay for more than a month. Lesson learned! I give Zoosk a fat "ZERO". They apparently are spending all their money on advertising rather than creating a great site that can carry itself.

I was initially reluctant to join Zoosk because of its relatively high monthly price of $30 to try it out. But what lured me to take the plunge was the large number of local chicks posted. And I went ahead with a full-scale effort for three evenings in a row, messaging a total of well over a hundred females, ranging in age from 18 to over 40. I was respectful, and kept things short, telling them to please read my profile, then email me if interested, including my email address. The profile was worded pretty much the same as I had done on other sites, and it had generated a fair number of responses. Over 50 on AsianPeopleMeet, for example. But I got absolutely NO replies from any of my over 100 messages. So I must presume that Zoosk is just a site where women like to post about themselves, with no more seriousness about meeting people than posting comments on YouTube. So I will warn everyone looking to actually meet people to NOT waste your money. Try another website for that.

I will try posting this giving a ZERO stars rating. But if you see that I gave one star, that means I was forced to do so against my will. For, to me, zero replies to my messages warrants a zero star rating, agreed?

Glad to be a part of something worth while thank i love to meet people and share with friends.
