Nothing but scams
January 5, 2016

I haven't been on this site that long, but so far, every connection has been a scam. Referring you to sign up for other websites, webcam girls, or romance scams, I have had them all in under a month! - I will definitely not be adding credits to my account. Glad I only took the Intro credits.

Takes time
September 14, 2017

Don't be a fool expecting to meet someone the first week. It takes time. When I first signed up I did not get a single response within the first two weeks. People complaining about AM usually feel like they got cheated (isn't it ironic) but the reality is that they just weren't patient enough. There are lots of members and the chance of having an affair if you live in a major city isn't bad at all. I personally like Saphrina a little more because for me it hooked me up a little faster but maybe that was just luck, who knows. In general I'd recommend AM. Just keep in mind that it is not an online-brothel. Women won't be waiting there to fulfill your desire.

This site is bogus for many reasons. Mostly populated with sex workers, looking to fleece you or make you a "sugar daddy". Those women that are there, are usually racists, have an AXE to grind, or just plain lame, and into mind games. Don't waste your time, money and searches because the site caters to the women that want revenge, money or just to "F" with you. Literally found it to be full of racists, bigots and women that need to grow the "F" up.

I was super suspicious about Ashley Madison but I am very aware that the only sure fire way to hook up with married chicks on the net is to have at least two (if not more) dating site memberships. Now Nostringaffair.com has served me well over the many months that ive been using it, but with a shortage of other highly recommended options I gave in and decided to reluctantly give Ash Mad a shot. And boy do I feel silly now for doubting it lol! The site is super sleek and simple to navigate, there are plenty of married chicks online at any given time and ive had some nice replies and some super sexy instant message sessions with a few of the members. I'm glad I gave it a chance, it has always been the match of the affairs dating world and I guess I just listened to the haters when I should have been making my own mind up. Wont make that mistake again! Lesson learned lol Now, just gotta make sure the other half doesn't find out ha!

I turned to AM after deciding I needed something extra in life. I'm 26 and married, having been with my husband since we were 16. When I first signed up it was very clear how scarce we females were with the overload of messages I received. After some searching and weeding through I found some wonderful men to talk to. It's true that all the good ones are married because these guys are amazing and just looking for some affection and attention that they aren't receiving otherwise. I no longer have a profile because I found someone on there in a similar situation as me who lives close and I see him everyday and it is so wonderful. People are so quick to think of AM negatively but all I know is it's made 2 people very happy.

Women are fake
September 24, 2021

I've heard and read that most of the women profiles are fake. I tried a free subscription to try it out, and of course I received a decent amount of "replies" on my profile. After a couple months of that I bought the minimum amount of "credits" for interaction with these women. I've used up half of my credits sending messages and haven't received a single text message from a supposedly interested woman. I would avoid this site if you are a guy. Women are free, so they have nothing to lose.

Avoid this place at all costs. I created an account less then 5 days ago and in that period I have received 4 emails. The problem with them is that I have to but credits to spend to see what they say. First Flag. 2nd even bigger problem is that looking at the who viewed me list not one of them viewed my account. So private people or Ashley Madison employee sending me emails trying to con me into buying credits?

Finally to completely delete my account they want to charge me $19.99 That has got to be considered extortion. You can hide your account for free but I wonder how hidden it is. Thankfully I'm single so this can't come back to haunt me. But others certainly won't be so lucky.

Guys stay off!
August 28, 2019

Guys, this site sucks! The girls are either old skanks or good looking scams! EVERY decent looking girl ended up asking for money, OR wanting me to pay for some scam "safe dating verification " website. Don't waste your money nor time!

Don't waste time on this site. All the profiles are fake, I even came across 3 profiles with pictures of the exact same person. They send you messages that you have to use credit to open, only to get some lame question like "r u online" then you respond and never hear from them again, until after your credit runs out then all of a sudden your mailbox is filled to bursting with superhot chicks... but of course you have to pay more money to open their messages. Trust me guys just get a beer and go to a bar or club. Total scam

Average-Good
August 7, 2020

I switched to AM last year after all the hullabaloo with Victoria Milan. I found it ok and used it for four of 5 months. Had a few interesting chats but in the end decided there just weren't enough new women in my area being added so switched over to NoStringsAffair at the start of this year and have been using that ever since. For me its about having plenty of options locally or it just isn't worth it, so that's why I ended up cancelling AM and switching over. Good site otherwise though.

My review
November 11, 2017

The reputation kept me from buying credits for a while but when I finally decided to pay things got good.

But let me clarify: I'm a wealthy, decent looking man who takes care of his body. I've had success on three other affair /adult dating sites; Saphrina, Aff and another one who I will not name because I don't particularly like it. So I know what I am doing.

Buttom line; You need to buy credits if you expect results. It can be a little pricey but can b worth it. If you are not decent looking things will become a little tougher. Be prepared to lower your expectations.

Just a scam
January 17, 2022

Mostly a scam with fake profiles and heavy messaging fee. They post return messages making it sound real but actually are not. They expect you to spend 100s of dollars before it actually works. Dont waste your time try a bar instead.

The biggest scam on the internet. This site have about 95% of fake profiles created by asheley madison people so you think that u are actually communicating with a real person. BE CAREFUL they will also send u an email address to communicate with them, its fake, you are wasting your money. And beside lets face it a married women who is looking for sex, doesn't have to go on a web site, all she has to do is look around her and choose.
Their charge system is a big scam and they are way over priced. This site is not worth a dollar.

Love it!
December 28, 2015

AM is full of fake profiles, as much as any other dating site is (ok maybe a little bit more due to its popularity), but if you're not stupid, you can easily recognize and ignore them.
I travel a lot and AM and nostringsaffar.com are the sites I use for my discreet adventures (using both of them just doubles up my chances and also there could be lack of members on AM in some areas, while there's enough of them on nostringsaffair and vice versa).

I am a female with a disabled husband. Loved this site. Found a long term paramour that I adore. Ladies, you will have lots, of guys to choose from. I wanted some one who wanted more than a short term relationship. Be honest about what you are looking for. My guy was on the website 9 months before he found me. He did have one casual date that did not work out. We are both in our 60s! Pure Joy!

Nah
September 28, 2017

As soon as u join u get messages like "xxx has indicated she is interested in someone just like you. You should send her a custom message to connect." so the user is not interested in me but in someone like me? Aha! And over 50 million members? Are you sure? How many of them are active? You know what: i am not buying it!

The site is nothing more than a money pit. To communicate between two members, BOTH members have to spend 50 plus dollars in order to read what is sent and received. Listen to the 1 star reviews and stay away from his money pit of a site. The site algorithm picks random users and acts like they viewed your profile or sent you a message which is only a plot to get you to spend a lot of money for nothing. This is a false site with no chance of meeting anyone.

Got extorted and blackmailed from one of the members of the AM! Had to go through hell and pay a lot of money the scams not to publish my pictures on social media! The website itself they don't care about their clients at all as long as they get their money! Stay away from it! It's all a big fraud but realized that to late!

A sucker's bet...
November 3, 2018

I'm a 50-something guy who was looking for some side action - just like everyone else on AM. Was on AM for over 6 months. There seemed to be few real women so I created a fake female profile - same age range, "attached" status, location, etc - to find out what I was up against. The results? I counted 208 "attached" guys on AM in my age range and location vs 10 "attached" women within my 50 mile radius. Do the math. You'll have better odds standing by the cukes in your grocery store's produce section.

Like most sites of this type once you join you have to purchase credits to communicate with anyone, ie, read messages, view pics and or respond to messages.
My experience was that all communications from people on this site were setup to get you to purchase credits, because you cannot read messages unless less you have credits, then they continue to send you messages to get you to use up your credits.
I am not sure if the pics and profiles are real or fake but I don't think it matters as the soul purpose is to create an environment to legally take your money.
It was kind of funny that I would get messages from someone on the other side of the US, the profiles did not even have a pic, saying they were interested in me. Kind of tells me it is a poorly designed algorithm.
I would advise to stay away from this site.
