Are you looking for a serious committed relationship, or just some "fun" ... if you are looking for a committed serious relationship, zoosk isn't typically a good place to meet people (if you're looking for casual relationships/fun etc then zoosk might be helpful)
For more committed relationships you might want to try places such as eHarmony (or if you are Christian, ChristianMingle )
There's nothing wrong or "loser like" about places like Zoosk, PlentyOfFish etc, however they DO tend to be populated by people looking for casual dating (not looking for committed long term/potential life-long partners) ...
You can sign onto eHarmony for free, and then if you like the free version you can look around for discount membership coupons that will save you 30-70% off the membership - just remember that they have "auto-renewal" so if you don't want to renew your membership you have to go into your account and cancel it about 3weeks before it expires or you'll be charged a full renewal (A friend of mine just had this happen, and they were annoyed because they'd actually met someone and had planned to NOT renew, so pay attention - or they grab more money!)
