Ashley Madison Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of Ashley Madison is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to the prevalence of fake profiles and perceived scams. Many users express frustration over the high costs associated with the platform, which they feel exploit their desire for genuine connections. While some customers report occasional success in meeting partners, the overwhelming sentiment is negative, highlighting concerns about financial exploitation and inadequate customer support. Despite its established brand presence, the company struggles to address these critical issues, leading to a lack of trust and a recommendation to avoid the service.

Had a slow start on this site but by the last month was really doing well, if I may say so myself! Decided to give it another month to see if any of the women im speaking to (there are three, for the record) end up meeting up with me. The chats have been pretty hot so far so im hopeful, but the proof will be in the pudding. I know since I tried NoStringsAffair.com earlier in the year my batting average has been pretty good so if I can manage the same on this site ill definitely be getting some action with a hot married chick! Wish me luck! Will do a follow up review after the month is up as im sure that will help some of you make a decision.

Fail!
March 8, 2017

Site still has very few real women. Better to use plenty of fish where you can actually communicate for free. It's a numbers game but when you have to cough up $250 to buy credits it's not worth it

Would recommend it
March 3, 2017

I tried quite a few extra-marital affairs websites and there were only a few sites I really liked. I'd probably rank Ashleymadison as the best in this category (or maybe Saphrina, not really sure if I like it more or less cuz I found an affair partner on both sites but it seems to have less members). With a little patience you can find real women looking to hookup. Most are mssing passion at home and are desperately looking for some acknowledgement. Yes, there are some dubious contacts but ignore them and you'll be fine.

As a newcomer to the world of infidelity dating sites, I'm trying a few for a month each and then ill decide which 1 if any I want to stay a member of. So far ive only tried one other site called nostringsaffair.com and rated it at 9/10.
Ashley Madison is probably the most famous site for finding extra marital relations. It's well known for its publicity stunts and has probably had more news coverage over the past few years than any other dating site, affairs or non affairs!
For me, the site always seems to get a bad name but ive found it to be pretty good. The site takes a couple of minutes to join. It claims to have over 47 million members and that may be true, but all I care about is how many are in Oxford and how many of them are female! Judging by my searches over the course of the month, there are a fairly high number of women near me and once I add the London area to my search that goes up massively.
It's easy to pay and start sending out messages. I've had a couple of replies and one quite long conversation with a married woman in Norwich. I'm sure she's real and we talked a little about meeting up, but she seems to be one of those dames that likes to keep a guy waiting unfortunately.
Overall, I'd say that AM gets a 8/10 for me. I expected it to be less secure and more spammy but it's actually no worse than the mainstream dating sites for that. I'd say im pleasantly surprised in the end and it continues a good start to my infidelity reviews!

Poorly run company...
February 20, 2017

Hidden fees upon sign up that you do not find out about until you get a nasty bill. They tell you to buy token to message other users. That's fine, but then they don't tell you you will be charged an additional membership sign up fee. Really?... This has to be the only "dating site" that charges it's memebers fees to message other members, and has these hiden fees. Really shady how they operate. Never using again. In addition tons of fake profiles of people who add you and then eventually ask you to help them as they are a single mother and "send a bit of money". It's sad that people fall for this.

Renewal scam
February 15, 2017

My credits were running out. Then out of the blue 2 women send me "collect" messages. I respond to both. Three more messages flow both ways. I run out of credits and cannot read the last one arranging a meet. I buy more credits. Both women's profiles disappear in the next 5 minutes. The messages "history" of both disappear. Fool Me!

Recommend it for females
February 13, 2017

I'm a woman on AM and would recommend it for females looking for discreet encounters. Some guys are nice and handsome but there are many men who don't fit my criteria. Problem is they are still spending their credits messaging me but I don't have the time to respond to everyone. That may be the main reason why some guys have the feeling that most profiles are fake. Anyway, I recommend it for females. Saphrina is a good alternative because it is less expensive for men but AM is by far the largest affair website and should be the first contact point if you are a female.

It works
February 10, 2017

As a women, I can tell you that this site works. I've met and hooked up with a lot of great guys. However, I will say that since there are considerably more men than women on the site you have to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Women like to be wined and dined and brought on business trips, to a nice hotel, etc... Be patient, it works. I found a great guy who I have been hooking up with on a regular basis for over 2 years now and we are very happy with the arrangement.

Ashley Madison, nostringsaffair.com and tinder. Those are the only places you'll get laid if your married and open about it online.

Thought I'd try the newly revised AshleyMadison.com. Wow, not exactly worth the investment just to get set up and then not much play until they want big pay to really be a "member." You'd think with their PR fiasco that they'd have come back with a friendlier first timer program or something to that effect, but really after just a few minutes of being on the site and sending a few emails, the next jump is on the low $80.00 and then if you want to access it through your phone? Another $20 out of the gate ON TOP OF the rather pricey monthly cost. Its time for a new company to do it bigger and more affordably and that's what AshleyMadison will probably be confronted with in no time.

Don't be lazy
January 31, 2017

Be patient and get rewarded or be lazy and fail. Using Ashleymadison is no rocket science but if you have no clue how to attract women Ashleymadison will not improve your chances. Unlike other reputable adultery websites (Saphrina for example) you pay by credits and that means that every approach costs $ and if you suck with women you will lose a lot of money even before you even had a chat or a date. If you know how to attract women Ashleymadison is one of the few adultery sites which really work. Just don't enter the stage with wrong expectations. Also consider to use more than one site. Boosting your chances with an additional membership on Saphrina is always recommendable.

I read an article some time ago about a woman's experience on ashley madison. I was intrigued by this article so I signed up.
It was interesting at first because there seems to be a lot of potential, so I bought some "credits" to communicate with other members on the site, here's what I found:
1) Fake profiles created by ashley madison - there were a lot of profiles that seemed realistic, so I tried to initiate a contact, I received an immediate response asking me to send a more personal (full) message (i. E. message that can only be sent with credit) - never got any response after sending a paid message. This is their dirty trick to get you to spend all your credits
2) Similar to the above, I received some priority message from some of the members with profiles that "seemed" to be real, however to respond to these messages, it costs credit as well. Never got further message after sent back a message with paid credits.
3) Fake profiles from other bogus sites preying on the weak men: I started to received some messages from other members, again with profiles that seemed to be real people, this time no credit to response but they ask for personal email to communicate easier and doesn't cost asley madison credits, sounds good right? Wrong! When they got my email, they sent me very convincing messages, then after a few exchange of messages, they asked me to sign up to some kind of voucher credit website, they said no need to pay to join but requires a credit card on file to join. Yeah Right! I'll bet they tricked a lot of desperate men to sign up so they can charge all kinds of BS charges to the cards. They stopped communicating as soon as I said no credit card.
4. more bogus from ashley madison - I received hundreds of messages every week, from fake profiles all over the world.
So after several weeks, I have communicated with several hundreds of "members" on ashley madison, I have not found 1 genuine profile yet.
I just came to realize that I was really naive to believe in that article I mentioned above, I read it again and determined that the article was for sure was created by ashley madison, 2 simple reasons: 1) there were details that a cheating wife would not review on the internet and 2) the story was extremely well written to attract reader to follow from beginning to end, fluid with well thought out storyline that can only be written by a "writer"
DO NOT waste your money with Ashley Madison, there is NO real woman on this website, all fakes.

Ash Mad is all about fast, quick, easy. It's great that it can try to supply that and secrecy at the same time but its not worked for me yet & I do sometimes worry that the lack of patience in todays society can lead to people getting caught on sites like this. Ive been using a similar site nostringsaffair.com for many months and the successes ive had there have been down to good old fashioned effort mixed with realistic expectations. The sites are actually quite similar but NSA just seems more down to earth for me, it doesnt promise the world and Im not looking for it anyway, just a bit of naughty anon fun! For me AM is a B- grade site atm but that might change of course.

Been using the net to find discreet meets with different married women for some time now but never really bothered with Ash Mad. My weapon of choice has been nostringsaffair.com and it's always been reliable, even if you do have to put in quite a bit of effort before it starts paying off. But decided to step things up a bit and added an AM subscription last month. Is it worth the fuss? I would say that even tho ive had no fireworks yet (to be expected), I quite like the professional feel the site has. Is it worth all the media attention it gets? Time will tell I suppose.

Scammers as Customers
January 25, 2017

There are a bunch of scammers on this website. The ones that try to hook you in with unbelievable photos of themselves. Tell you right away that you are the love of their life. Then it's not too long before they tell you that they need money for something and that they are very sad until it gets resolved. Of course, they are asking you for the money.

No encounter
January 20, 2017

Took credits like a running tap i purchased £61 membership at midnight I only logged in couple of times didn't chat to one lady and no credits left and they asking me to buy more credits. Are people seriously buying a encounter or even a connection from this site. It's a utter awful scam I am certain the reviews are fake bots. I have to call my bank tomorrow as mastercard and visa have a 541 day period to claim money back, it's nothing more than a naughty scam.
