I was getting a lot of "views" from some good-looking women. I was getting excited. I was getting my hopes up that my search beyond my little social cirlces was getting somewhere promising.
Then, I started noticing that NONE of these women would chat or message me. If you're so interested in me that you are "viewing" me daily, why don't you want to engage in conversation and start down the path to a date or something. After reading other comments about zoosk, I realized that the views must be manipulated.
I sent some taunting messages (which I would not normally do) just to try to prod some kind of response out of someone. Finally got a couple of responses that I was rude or inappropriate.
My conclusion - zoosk is probably a waste of time. From a man's perspective, they give you what you want, attention from good-looking women. But it's all fake. These women aren't really interested in you.
I think a lot of women post a profile on these sites thinking, "What have I got to lose?" It costs nothing at first and if they snare a hunk they have hit the jackpot. If not, no big deal.

Can't tell for sure but often they look embellished. I suggest you don't try this site.

I am going to answer the original question than approach some of the self serving responses are some of the views accurate or embellished on ZOOSK I will be brief Zoosk is as I wrote simply a complete waste of time and can get expensive quickly with no results and bogus people and hard to navigate and is the worst of them all
As far as some of some of the responses lets start with Jerry J who writes simply the only site that's worse the Zoosk is plenty of fish how helpful is that and a bashing without supstanciating AT ALL that statement so sorry Jerry but that comment means nothing to anybody sorry if you are just having a bad day and know to whoever said POF isn't totally free what are you thinking last time I woke up it was America a capitalistic country where companies who have something valuable to offer are allowed to charge then itvusakso a choice country then you have the opportunity to decide if you want to spend your money on it YOU MUST BE A DEMOCRATE. From there a lot of the other comments sure on any site you have to be patient and filter through the people pics and profiles to eventually find some of the good ones with good intentions then their is Jeff L who writes on line dating is not for me and suggests volunteering to funny people who volunteer are there for a sincear cause and are not there to be stalked by some one who's there for the wrong reason that says a lot about you why don't you just sit at home and wait for Cupid to find you or maybe volunteer at the VD clinic sorry but your comment is insulting to me looking for love in all the wrong places
Then to cover a lot of the other comments there are all kinds of different people on all the sites don't let one or even several bad or bogus encounters discourage you this on line dating is a power in numbers game and like any thing else in life you try hard enough and be patient enough you just might be successful in meeting that right person I get so tired of hearing all these complaints about on line dating if you don't like it don't do it if your looking for a shot to do it and win at least do it on a real site which Zoosk is not however POF is I know my next comment here will hit people in different ways but I am a nice guy with real pics up and a real and honest profile but I am just one of many on these sites and I'll tell you this fact not brag I have tried a few sites and POF has been the best and this is the truth I have been on and off it for 3 years and have met and dated right at 60 women have had all the sex I wanted and all the drama I didn't met some great girls met some very strange ones and have made some good friends but all that said at least I can say this about POF and then just when I was thinking I would never meet that right girl about 3 months ago I did we have a true love affair going talking about moving in together and it just gets better every day of we are great looking not so good looking over weight skinny outgoing introverted loveing or not so loving a hopeless romantic or not this dating thing is not brain surgery and should not be over thought just be yourself be honest post real pics and profiles that are really you and you have at least a good chance of EVENTUALY meeting someone
Good luck to every one and that's enough said

Most, but not all of the views, are real - but a lot aren't. What is incredibly stupid is zoosk telling you that someone wants to meet you - that is 95% false.
I have chatted with a few women on there but for the most part, very few people actually pay; so most can't chat or read your messages (if you are a paying member).
And, to the person making a comment about POF below, I heard complaints before but I have had good luck in using it; I guess all of these online sites have some angle to them
I can tell all of you one thing for sure - if anyone writes a real positive review of Zoosk, ignore it - there is very little positive about it.

Very much embellished. If your page shows up on someone elses page from a search or something then it tells you that they viewed you. Even if yhe only action taken was to swip your page away and move to the next. And when you go to see "Who viewed you," guess what? That's right, now you show up as having viewed them each time as well. So he may feel like you do, don't just view, write me.

From what I've experienced in the month I have been on there... I get a lot of the same guys viewi g my profile multiple times. I mean like 10+ times a day... so I added to my profile "if your interested don't just look, send a message or something" So one guy tells me that views aren't necessarily men looking at your profile, that when thry scroll through the search it shows up as views. I don't know how true that is, but it makes as much sense as guys viewing over and over and never saying anything... so who really knows. For what it's worth, it has been a complete waste of money. You can all the same stuff on free sites FREE! The only Pro for this site is, they do verify pictures so you know the people look like what they show... and they verify phone numbers and such. Other than that, pshhhh. I won't pay for anymore time on there.
