Some contacts

By Ken W., Canton, TX, Verified Reviewer

I actually met one lady on Zoosk; however, after two months of texting each other, she apparently decided I wasn’t the right one for her. Ok, no problem with that. I messaged a few others and got responses from some, but, nothing serious. One was interested and agreed we were too far apart (over 100 miles).

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Ease of contact with paid subscription

Mostly good photos to browse

Ease of ending subscription

Duplicate profiles

Frequently no response to messages

Often matched with people too far away

Not like the ads

By Amy Roe, Melbourne, Verified Reviewer

I was a bit disappointed. This is just not at all like the ads portray it to be.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not the worst, not the best either.

By Brian Reeves , Oceanside, CA

As far as dating sites go, Zoosk is pretty good. The only downside is that most users do not subscribe, obviously due to the high monthly cost. However, for those that do subscribe, it is awesome. It encourages people to like pictures, which increases your chances to make a connection with someone. I have actually met a lot of nice girls on there in person. When you originally sign up it is confusing because of the 'auto wink reply' feature that people can have with the free profile. So you think people are actively writing back to you, but it is just their auto reply, they didn't even know you tried to write them. It would be nice if Zoosk lowered their monthly costs, because I think a lot more members would try it, making it overall a better site. I like OKCupid, but the members there are too focused on LifeTime Relationships they almost never want to meet up with someone. Zoosk has more realistic members.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not too bad but have issues

By Cynthia Taylor, Arizona, Verified Reviewer

Zoosk advertises that it takes 20 coins to unlock a profile and I have always had to do 30 coins in order to unlock a profile. I had a time when I got 40 coins, but I didn't get it posted so that I can unlock a profile. It's true that if you want to try to cancel your subscription, Zoosk do not refund your money back to you and they do not remove your name because you will still receive emails from profiles stating that they are interested. But I also had good luck on Zoosk, I met someone who I really liked and the feeling is mutual, four years later. Anything you get into will have pros and cons. Nothing is perfect.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I met my fiance

By Ro, Georgia, Verified Reviewer

Though I was very skeptical of online dating, I still signed up with Zoosk. I knew what I wanted in a partner. I did not give much information in my profile.

I recognized the scammers and the pervs. I waited patiently, blocking people left and right, until I got contacted by the right person.

Now we are happily engaged. If it wasn't for Zoosk, I wouldn't have met the love of my life. So everything is possible, your success is in your hands.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Met the love of my life

By Dawn D., Louisiana, Verified Reviewer

I was on Zoosk for a few months and dated a few frogs. Fortunately, I meet my husband. Our first date was very nice and I liked him but I wasn’t sure he liked me as much as I liked him. Fast forward and we are both CRAZY about each other. We dated for about 4 years and got married a few years ago. Thanks, Zoosk. We would probably never met had it not been for site. There is nothing like waking up to the love of your life. The chemistry and compatibility are AMAZING.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
