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.

It works
January 18, 2017

I admit that I received lots of dubious mails and chat requests from stunning women all across the world and I am sure that a lot of them were fake. But I did travel to a different city for business and within a few hours met a nice woman in my hotelroom. It works! I've had experiences in a comparable way on Saphrina and would also recommend it. Those adultery sites are far from perfect but they work.

Very disappointed. Contacted by scam artists and lots of fake profiles. Only found lady on there that seemed to be real, but she apparently only wanted conversation and nothing more. Won't ever try this site again.

Nice combo option
December 26, 2016

Ive been asked by a few very trusted friends how Ive had so much luck on the infidelity dating scene and I reckon it's time to share the trick. It applies to this site (ashley madison) and other sites that are as good (or better, like nostringsaffair.com). Basically, you can't go one site at a time, trying them all like you're trying to find a pair of new jeans that look good. You've got to combine different sites and try at least a paid every three months. Then you ditch the one that didn't get you anywhere and switch to something better (reviews sites like these usually show you what's working for people and what's new). Ditch and switch, but always have AT LEAST two running at any given time and you'll have enough women to talk to that you can set up the odd meeting here and there. Can't ask for more than that, good luck... and you're welcome!

I was on Ashley Madison about eight years ago and had great success but boy, has it changed! These days the site management is as aggressive about scamming you as are the Nigerian guys posing as young women. I have been on here for about two weeks and seriously, eight of ten messages scams. The site has numerous shady tricks designed to get you to purchase credits so that you can communicate with the scammers they send your way. This place is really gotten disgusting. My best advice is stay the hell away.

Great for women
December 25, 2016

I am a woman using Ashley Madison and I would totally recommend it to other women. It is a female friendly cheater websites and really the best if you are a married woman looking for discreet encounters.

It works good for some men. Those men complaining that they haven't met anyone yet usually simply don't fit mine or other women's criteria. I would love to be polite to everyone and answer every single message I receive but that would totally eat up my time. There are many men on Ashley Madison and it makes it hard for them because it is a little unbalanced. Those guys who don't look above average should really use alternative cheater websites like Saphrina. Those who don't mind the competition should use this site. I 've been dating (mostly) married men for five years now and as long as Ashley Madison is free for women I will continue to do so.

Patience
December 21, 2016

I've had some great success. There are a lot of fakes on here like any other site. The ratio is not even close. But I have chatted with many and hooked up with many. But the common argument j hear is the quality of men. All you fools who can't hook up have to understand it's your fault. With all the disrespectful talk, and unwanted $#*! pics. Yes this is a site for married people to have affairs "sex". But what you are fidgeting or not understanding is these ladies could $#*! anyone of you fools. But they will choose who they want. You have to be better than the rest. Just be honest with your intentions. If all you want is to $#*! one time and be gone good luck. If you can't afford a hotel good luck. You think these married women want to ruin their entire lives to $#*! you in a car. They want an emitional connection, that's not a code word for love. It means that they really want a friend. Looks will open the door but your personality will open their legs.

I am not saying that Ashley Madison and Saphrina are the best adultery websites available but they worked for me :) Had five dates through both sites and all of them turned into some action :) Actually, all of my latest AP's were found on Ashley Madison or Saphrina. I understand why some guys complain though but if you learn how to spot fake profiles, how to do some basic screening and watch for how messages are written you will be fine :)

Don't do it!
December 6, 2016

Don't be thinking "WOW, I've got a message from a hot woman"!
They are just made up! Those are messages to get you to believe that there is someone wanting to hookup with you.

First of all online dating takes effort no matter what kind of site your on typical dating or something a bit more specialist like fitness dating or whatever. So you can imagine what trying to meet a married person who understands and relates to me (also a married person) is like. I tried nostringsaffair.com and was amazed how well I did and then I decided to join Ashley Madison as well. It's not easy, even in a fairly big city like newcastle. AM has a lot of female members but I can go ages without getting a reply sometimes, although I go in to it knowing thats the way it can be sometimes. It's just the nature of the beast im afraid.

Honest review...
November 25, 2016

I know most guys wonder if you can actually meet someone using Ashleymadison.com. Yes, this site works and you can find a hookup but you need to weed through a bunch of fake profiles, just like on any other extramarital affair site. But I was always fine using it and yes: There are real women. Most of them are average looking and it takes a little time to find them.

I know that most people will throw s#$ at this site but if you are married and looking for a discreet affair there are only two sites which will work, Saphrina.com and Ashleymadison.com. There are a lot more men than women and being a man you have to be okay with the competition.

The features are okay but the membership costs are a little pricey. You can buy credit packages and if I remember it correctly you will have to spend 5 credits to contact someone. This may be the main difference compared to Saphrina.com where you can message as many people as you like with your gold upgrade but on the other hand Ashleymadison.com also offer some kind of affair guarantee package. It may be worth checking it out.

That was my honest review This site can be for you if you are looking for a discreet affair and in my opinion it is one of the two sites which really worked, at least for me. Happy hunting.

I think the issue most guys have is that they think because they paid for a membership sex should be on the menu straight away. No, it doesn't work that way!

I also had mixed feelings about Ashleymadison until I tried several other affair dating sites and I've learnt my lesson! Except Ashleymadison (and Saphrina.com, which is an absolutely fantastic affair dating site btw) chances to hookup on those sites are minimal. At least Ashleymadison gives you access to genuine women. I know that the press revealed that most members were actually men. So what?! That's no surprise in my opinion!

If you are under 50 and at least average looking your chances are not bad if you invest enough time in creating an interesting profile. Communicate and behave like a gentlemen. As I said in the beginning: Sex is not on the menu straight away, neither on Ashleymadison nor on Saphrina. But with a little patience your chances are not bad at all!

Mystery Meat
November 21, 2016

The website is real but meeting women is fictitious. It is like talking on an adult cam chat. It can be fun but you are not going anywhere. It is a little like mystery meat that comes in a can.

I signed up to Ashley Madison last week after having a lot of luck using nostringsaffair.com. I like that ASH MAD pushes the discretion angle and of course, it's vital for me as a married guy (with kids... I know, I know!) in my late 30s. But you need more than that alone to keep me spending my hard earned cheese, especially when ive already got the Nostrings membership running. You need to see results and although its early days, im a bit disappointed at this point. So for me ive decided to keep going another few weeks to the end of my AM membership and then if nothing is happening ill exit and try something else as my second site (its supposed to be good to have at least two running at any time to boost chances so im looking for a second site). Will report back if anything changes, fingers crossed!
