Honestly Zoosk is one of the best dating sites. It might actually be the best but I have not tried them all so cannot say. I have tried other highly rated sites, that are free, cheaper and more expensive. All other sites did not function as well. I have met new friends who have enriched my life with wit and charm and companionship. I have never encountered the negatives noted by others in their reviews. Those who criticize Zoosk are having issues because they cannot figure out how to use the software. I find the software less than intuitive and would volunteer to write a client manual of tips for better results. In the beginning, I was discouraged. When I learned to use the software my results changed dramatically. I highly recommend Zoosk as a low cost, high results program. The price could be higher for what is delivered. I think Zoosk is keeping its prices low actually. Girl in BC
