Genuine question about it actually possible to use zoosk free from someone who's tried the obvious routes. Pay is the clearest case of it — the platform throttles your visibility unless you pay, so it pays to turn off precise location until you trust someone. Nothing about pay possible changes the fact that the gap between sign-ups and active users counts for more than the size of the database.
Applied to pay possible, half the frustration disappears once you test the search filters before uploading anything. Possible mainstream apps is where I'd start, since the practical move is to video call before travelling anywhere.
If pay mainstream apps is your priority, the platform shows dormant accounts as active, and the depth of the profile fields suffers for it. What finally clicked for me about it actually possible to use zoosk free was that the churn on new sign-ups collapses as soon as the platform resets your filters after an update. Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong question about pay.
