In these days of social networking, one website has integrated itself with the likes of facebook more than others, and that is Zoosk Online Dating. We had a look round to see if it was suitable for our intrepid online daters.
First up, we would say this site is suited to people in their 20s and possibly early 30s. The site is very brash and bright and tries to integrate with facebook or your other social media applications at every opportunity. Sign up itself is quite simple, as you can see below...
But if you wish to go further with the site, there are a few obstacles put in your way. For example, if you want to send a wink or chat, you must upload a photo of yourself first. It's a nice idea and ensures more photos are up there, but this could be daunting for someone trying online dating for the first time.
Zoosk not only enables you to send messages but you can also send 'virtual gifts' - these are a great way for getting attention but again for the older dater they are probably an un-necessary complication.
Overall, Zoosk, is a fun site if you want to meet new people in your local area, but for more serious daters, we would probably recommend something like match.com
