Guys, there are millions of men and much fewer women on this site, so ALOT of competition from other men. If you are a man, before spending any money on this site, create a fake profile as a woman. They don't charge women any money, so it's free. Make sure to put in attractive stats (5'8" tall, 115 lbs - you get it). You don't even need a pic, but if you can find and include a nice looking one, it will help. Then see the hundreds of messages from men you will get. Look at some of their profiles and pics. That's what you'll be competing against. If you think you can compete, then spend your money and go for it. If not, find another way (NOT the internet) to meet someone. Good luck!

94% fake reviews
November 29, 2022

It's amazing how when your credits get low or out women message or flirt at a higher rate! Very very few on this site are real women, attached and looking for sex. Financially this is the biggest ripoff of attached dating sites I've witnessed. You're far better off in a bar eye to eye.

Not what it used to be
October 1, 2019

Just tried Ashley Madison after not using it for several years. I had some luck several years ago. The site is not what it used to be. The changes in the interface are horrible. 1. You can't tell if the profiles you are looking at are someone currently using the system or someone who has not visited for months. 2. No idea how many credits I have

The only reason this gets a star is there are good photos once in a while. I truly believe all the women's profiles are fake. If you send a wink which is free, they reply back they'd rather you send a full message. Of course, because a message is 10 credits. Every person I sent a wink to, they replied back to send a full message with photo. Your photo is in your profile. Several women sent messages to me collect, meaning they initiated the contact however made me pay for it. One person I did kind of have a discussion with and said she would hook up, sent me a third party link to get a special id so I would be verified as safe and legit. We could do that via phone or something. Basically, to do anything on the site, it costs you. Even after spending, you are no closer to hooking up than you were before. I've had much better results on Tinder. DO NOT JOIN ASHLEY MADISON. IT IS ALL FAKE.

This site is such a ripoff. There are so many fake profiles that they manufacture and try to get you to write to them (and use up your expensive credits - initially 100 for $50 - and this does not last long either). The responses are very similar "sorry, i don't have time to respond to winks, why don't you send a full message?" so that its obvious that one lazy ashley madison intern is writing all these. Stay away from this site. Stick with the free ones.

Let me start by saying I actually met up with someone on Ashley Madison and have been having a fun affair. However, she was the exception rather than the rule. The site has many poorly publicized rules that can only have been designed to drain your account as quickly as possible. Also, many of the profiles seem either fake or set up by people (real women?) to attract as much activity as possible thus also draining your account quicker. I'm done with this site and wouldn't recommend it to most people - especially men.

Tried few affair sites and here's what I figured out: AM looks great site before you pay, then you will get conversations with someone, but who knows who they are. After a while when your nearly out of credits they just stop replying. Also the ones whose profile you have checked out, just happen to be the ones allways on line, funny how they never reply though. I didn't want to keep paying, so I left the site.

I've been using Ashleymadison a on and off over the past few years and met with different women every time I used it. Some profiles are fake but there are also real women. The best advice I can giye to y'all: Spend time reading their profiles and tailor your messages to them. Be realistic, be honest, be patient. It is a good site. If you were not lucky, you may also want to consider to use more than one site at a time. Mysecretaffairs is much smaller but has a very active member base. It is an option to consider. BTW, I was never lucky using dating apps. Hope that helps.

Honst review
March 30, 2017

Just wanted to write an honest review as lot of the reviews on here are only negative.

I joined Ashley Madison just over two months ago and can honestly say that this is one of the top sites
For extramarital affairs. Don't get me wrong, there are some fakes and hookers on there, you just have to be
Patient and take your time to get to know someone. I arranged a date next week, btw.

The lesson is clear: Genuine people do exist on Ashley Madison and it is one of the top sites along with Saphrina
Which I have been using last year and I have met sveral nice women on there. Just take your time and don't expect immediate
Results.

Ain't placed an add using a male super model a big house boat the works and no hits. All hits were other pay sites. There may be a handful of scabs on site only out to grab your money. Your better off with a HOOKER. All males are scammed

I like AM, it's really simple to use. Another site I tried recently was nostrongsaffair after reading some good reviews. They actually look quite similar but in reality NSA seems to have some better features. But anyway, nothing wrong with AM as an option for beginners to affairs dating.

I tried out Ashley Madison to see what it was all about. At first browsing the free site seemed legit. So I paid the $70 subscription. First day I was blown away. My phone was blowing up all day and night. Good conversation (with about 10 ladies) but after the conversation would go so far they would be asking to go to another pay site where I could get their number or address. After the first day, nothing.

Wish I could get my time and money back. Hell, I'd be happy to get the time back.
The $ is tuition for what I learned about Ashley Madison.
It won't even accept a review with no stars.
I was required to give One, just to get this rating included.

False and scammers
December 3, 2019

Amen to all the negative comments. Doubt any profiles are real. Immediately got a message from someone in Victoria, said to contact them at *******048 which is a number showing in Palmdale, CA. When the texted me back from it wanted me to "verify" at a website that wanted you to enter credit card used to validate only where if read the fine print would be registering for a recurring monthly service... Seems to be a general theme of all these online hookup sites.

Scam - Nothing but Bots
December 27, 2022

The site tricks you into thinking you have messages. It will show an available message...But once you open the message, it's not an actual message from an actual person, It's an automated bot message encouraging you to message that person. So they trick you into spending $ to unlock what they present as a "message from a user ".
Complete scam and I'm requesting a full refund. You're better off using Tinder.

I have tested AshleyMadison for a period of 6 months. But that was some time ago in 2014. Right now I agree with some guys: Saphrina and maybe some other smaller sites will do a better job for now. It is absolutely not easy to hook up with people on AshleyMadison. Unfortunately, you will find plenty of fake profiles as well as you will still find many real profiles as well. As mentioned: It is not easy to hook up-especially if you are a man-but it is possible. The main problem I see is that it is kind of expensive. The so called credits are used before you even go on a date and that will be the biggest disadvantage using this site compared to other sites.

Scam
November 16, 2020

First of they want you to but credits to send message once you end up as sucker paying for it they somehow up sale you at the check out in a sneaky way,
So there's that and after you did and you get some interest and excitement,
All the "girls" want you to go to a verification link and put in your details and credit info. (they claim it's a security screening)
It's BS and if you give your card information they will try to charge you fraudulent charges right away,
In my opinion stay away,
There are good dating apps where you can meet people without paying or if you want more exposure etc...
You can choose to pay.

No scam Far from it!
August 30, 2016

I joined and used AshleyMadison in 2015 purchasing only the minimum amount of credits available and those were enough to correspondend with several women. I met up with two of them. I can see how it might become expensive though.

I see no reason to call it a scam and if a man can't get meet a woman on AshleyMadison he needs to reveal what he put on his profile and how he approached the women. Same applies to Saphrina, the affair dating site I am using since March 2016. Those sites work very well but you need to be seductive! How do you approach a woman in person? The same rules apply online!

If you are a man, the only messages or replies you will ever get are from sex workers. The women are few and far between and seem completely uninterested. It's awful, really you might as well just walk down the street and ask. But it looks nice!

Don't send Wink, the women got them in another Inbox that they don't even go to... because it's like a Trash Can... Even the message system will get you pay so much that after a few days you won't have any credits and i will have cost you a lot...
Waste of money and time.
Also many scam, spam and also sugar baby that want to get your $$$ and prostitute that after a few messages will told you to pay $$ to meet and $#*! them...
Also if your a member never ever drop your credit below 5... if you go to 0 you won't be enable to read your old message and navigate properly in the site...
That's Bull $#*!
I've created a Women profile to understand why women never answer...! Go for it you will understand quickly...
