Zoosk
Questions & Answers

In the two months I have been on Zoosk. I have chatted with a number of woman, exchanged phone numbers and talked on the phone and I am just an average looking joe. I have also had times when I received a chat request and the person does not respond. You do have to pay to chat and the other person has to be a paid member. OK if your reading this there is one thing I found, if you search, only pay attention to the ones that say "recently online", the other ones may be fake or no longer active. It's a numbers game I have had many that did not respond to my messages also.

Beats me i am off of there, it seems like it was total bullshit, I have decided that if i am meant to meet someone it won't be on a computer.

So they can rip you off. Money, money, money that's all they want. Tease you with messages you can't read.
Not even a free trial. BIG RIPOFF

If you don't subscribe then you do get false messages. However, you can read the real ones if you subscribe. I was on there a month and met my wonderful boyfriend. I then closed my account.

There fake. I know this cause when I was paid member for 3 months I never got 1 single message from anyone. As soon as my subscription ended all sudden I get 1-2 messages to me everyday. Course you can't see the messages you have to pay again to see them. This is how they get men to become paid members. But there are real women on there getting them to respond takes being different then all the other thousand of men messaging them.

That company uses and auto response system. I was getting a lot of messages so I sign up only to find that no one replied because the system is so to make it appear that people replied. I will never use the site again it is a fraud to me. Most of the pictures I discovered are also on other sites.

Im a paid subscriber, I get a chat request (which how do you even send a chat request) click on it, and it sends you no where but to their profile.

Let's analyse it and compare.

I am looking for a friend and hopefully partner in my area as the distant thing doesn't work if one won't relocate ( common at over 50).

Zoosk -
I paid membership as there appeared to be lots of "realistic age range ladies" as opposed to PoF.
56 viewed me - 2 supposed messages but no replies from them.
1 "wants to chat" but no responses.
Sent 16 messages to local ladies of eligible age. Zero replies.

Very disappointing.

PoF.
Free.
Small number of "realistic aged range ladies" in my area.
Lots of replies to messages, but mostly cardboard cutouts (eventually find them unsuitable).
Lots of "long time" users, been around for 4 years or so, still no matches. Indicates "hobby type users".
Serious, eligible ladies snapped up - poorly presented ladies (forget looks) left an could do with deportment, presentation training.

At least with PoF it's free.

I found out a person can send an auto msg that goes to many members probably non subscribers it is a con to make you think it is a personal msg. To get you to sign up. The previous comment is correct it is fraud.

In my experience when I was on the site, those chat requests are fake. Either they have a program that sends them out to get you to think that there is a real member still active interested in you. Then you pay for an upgraded membership and look that "screen-name" up only then to see they haven't been active on the site in over 3 months. When you realize you have been frauded and call their, "so called customer service", they say they don't give refunds.
