Being in operation for just about three years, HowAboutWe has already received tons of reviews from customers, both positive and negative. Given below are what customers have to say:
Positive Feedback
"I have gone on 2 dates so far with women from this site. Beautiful, drop dead gorgeous women. I asked about 8 women on dates and about 3 responded, I chose 2. Maybe it's my profile picture, maybe I am just lucky. But after trying everything out there, this site seems to serve my needs" - from a user of alldatingwebsites
"Better than all the others for sure. Anything that caters to us, not old people dating" - from a user of updaterenovate.com
"I really love the search options How About We uses. When I get bored waiting for replies to messages I can go on the speed date game and browse some member pictures of people who are close to me and decide if I want to meet them. It even shows me who likes me and any mutual matches I have!" from a user of top10bestdatingsites
Negative Feedback
"The women on the site, so far, even within my age range, do not respond to anything. I can see they read my messages and private date requests, but that's it! That part sucks, especially since there are so few women on the site. I do like the concept, but until there are more people on the site and a higher class, less rude group of people, I would avoid this site." - from a user of alldatingwebsites
"Good concept and all but this dating site is not without its problems. When I used it, there seemed to be a mass number of what I will call Nigerian scammers, they were easy to spot, very poor grammar and nicked photos. I think they still need to grow a proper UK base, but seem to have some good profiles in the USA for women there looking for men." - from a Knoji user.
Summary
Since HowAboutWe is still in its early years of operation it still has a lot of room to improve. A lot of customers love the concept yet the execution is not perfect. Some found it easy to get a date while others failed to go out with anyone. Some subscribers state that the website needs more members. Hopefully after a couple of years, HowAboutWe would be able to address all the issues.

Zoosk, like most dating sites, have received mixed reviews from customers. Given below are actual testimonials from the clients of Zoosk.
Positive Feedback
"I became friends on with my boyfriend through this site. We live in the same area but had no idea who the other person was. We were friends for 2 years before having the nerve to meet up. Last August he proposed and we are getting married in July. Thanks Zoosk!" - MH, a user of mydatingreview.com
"I used to live in Oslo Norway and my Zoosk account is set up to meet women from Norway, and lately i have been contacted by several very nice sounding women, that I really would have liked to communicate with. Problem is that the rates they want to charge me to answer these contacts are so expensive, to almost be a con!" - Pedr a., a user of sitejabber.com
"I think this site is brilliant, very easy to use and to people who are complaining about it being a scam you must be ugly twats because I'm getting a lot of attention of girls met up with a few as well." - J w, a user of mydatingreview.com
Negative Feedback
"i don't really like Zoosk either i could never talk to anyone... I could only write them like twice....i think that's why guys put their number first so girls can see it when the message gets locked. Smart thinking. But i actually did meet someone on there....one of the very first guys i started talking to so i don't need Zoosk no more... Gone with it." - lovegotsaholdofme, a user of datingwise.com
"I have met a few ladies off of this site. There are a lot of profiles that view mine constantly but when i write those girls an email I never get a reply....I don't know if their fake or just don't want to pay. Key here is to remember that she has to pay also before she can email. Being a single guy trying to reach out to meet someone i find this site frustrating but if u keep looking u will find real people." BW, a user of mydatingreview.com
