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.

'A M' is pretty much the best married dating site together with 'Saphrina' I have been on a few others but the two only sites I've had any success were 'A M' and 'Saphrina'. If you are a man you will face some competition on 'A M' and it can be quite expensive. If you can't afford to pay you can't afford to play. But that does not matter because at least 'A M' has real members.

B- from me
October 31, 2016

AM is one of these clever sites that you dont know whether youre joining a dating site or some kind of online Italian clothes store! It could be a fashion brand as it's nice to look at (and really very easy to use) but when I compare it with sites that have actually came through for me in the past (nostringsaffair.com the clear example) then it falls short. I'm all for my dating sites to be big businesses and look professional but they need to get me results within 3 months or I move on. In fairness, if NSA stops working for me I would probably come back and give it another try.

So so
October 24, 2016

I've received bunch of fake messages until I decided to buy credits. After that I realized that those women who messaged me were not real so I decided to become proactive myself. Overall experience was okay though but I won't use it again in the future.

I tried ash mad because it's the one everyone knows and I always prefer going for well known brands when trying something new. It's not like you can take chances in this game! It's a nice site and I had some x rated chats but ive failed to hit the jackpot. From speaking to people its clear my opinion is the same as most lots of us are interested in a 'bit on the side' but finding a discreet place to arrange the fun stuff is like finding a needle in a haystack! I'm moving on to Nostringsaffair.com next as ive heard from the horses mouth that it genuinely works, would be nice as im starting to think this search will never end.

It takes ages and I was about to give up after I spent many hours a week trying to find a woman for discreet encounters. But it worked for me. The woman I finally met told me why it takes for ages. She said that she gets at least 50-100 messages a day from men and after a while simply gets tired of them. She only reads a few, those which seem to be interesting for her, and deletes the rest.

Same story on Saphrina.com, although it was a little more stress-free. I spent probably a few hours a week and it took over two weeks until I finally ended up meeting a women in a hotel room. That woman comfirmed the same story my AM date told me.

What I learned from using affair websites: You must be polite, even if you get no reponse. Both women I met told me that they never answer initially and they never use their affair website each and every day. Most important rule: Don't be rude and never send nasty pictures or anything like that.

It is some hard work as you have to sort through some inactive profiles and scam contacts but keep trying and you will finally meet someone. There are women on there!

First things first, im a married man living in Oklahoma. Im not a bad guy, I just miss certain things and rather than leave my darling wife I choose to strike up conversations with people online that arent looking to run away with me or steal me, they just miss the same things I do. Or they miss different things. But they miss something and for a short time every few days I like to lose my self in women that really get my predicament and dont judge me for playing around. My favourite site for finding married women has always been NoStringsAffair.com but I figured Id finally give Ash Mad a try, since Id had some super luck recently and figured Id best make the most of it while I can! The site is quite good, clearly its known as the market leader over here in the States for a good reason. There were some fakes but nothing that really bothered me and I was quite impressed by the number of women on the site that were showing up in my Oklahoma searches. Im seriously thinking about keeping both subscriptions now if I can find a woman who will meet up with me for a quick affair but if that doesnt happen ill probably just stick to the one site. Overall its worth checking out!

Ok so when you buy some credits, which are wicked expensive the introductory level costs about $3 a pop to contact someone. Women don't need to buy any obviously men do all the contacting. For some reason AM has decided to make bogus bots and profiles wherein you get connections requests, collect emails, winks etc, constantly when you first sign up from young women with beautiful pictures. Bogus of course, but stupidly obvious as well and you'd have to be an idiot to fall for them. These lessen after a while when you don't fall for them. When you contact women in your area almost all of them will have no picture or have one hidden. There are real women on here, mostly middle aged women not getting any from their husbands. So if you pay the $59 you have 20 shots at contacting someone. Be warned however if your credits go to zero you can no longer communicate with anyone so really you have 19. Ok all this being said I have meet 2 women on here in the real world and one of them I've had a nice time with. The women on here who are real are looking for passion and romance that's missing from their lives, whereas most of the men seem to be wanting just sex. Understandable but there is a mid-ground. If you want my advice don't send naked pictures of yourself via AM, wait till your talking to the woman off of AM and only if she wants to see them, that doesn't work on here at all with most of the real women. So bottom line, expensive, they try to trick you into using credits with bogus profiles and requests, but... there are also a good number of lonely women on here if you take the time to suss them out. Also watch carefully when you sign up that you don't leave the default settings on for them to automatically top off your credits and charge extra for mobile devices. It would be nice if they were more honest they really don't need to try the trickery they'd do better without it, but I guess it is what it is. Women who contact you are almost certainly bogus.

AM back to its best
September 18, 2016

Used this site a couple of years ago and had some success but left it last year when things got quiet (in terms of girls from my area on the site) and joined nostringsaffair.com. I'm using them both now after rejoining AM last month and can already see it's back to its best. Bring on the illicit sex!

Still delivers
September 13, 2016

No sure if AM is still the number one source to find an affair but it still delivers. I have been on and off AM for three years with good results. Stop complaining if you weren't lucky. Suck it up and use other legitimate affair websites like Saphrina or VM. There are only four or five legitimate affair websites on the internet but those deliever if you are a little charming.

Total Ripoff
September 12, 2016

Lots of fake profiles of people trying to contact you from remote locations. Local profiles disappear after 3 days of conversation.
SCAM!

This site is a joke they take forever to update you profile, take forever answering questions which some never do!
99% of the requests I get from matches are fake spam, shouldn't be the case at such a premium.
I have met people here it's not totally worthless just to be fair but the fake spam I get is ridiculous
If they don't like what your saying they will just edit your profile without warning so be careful. This is a website who use bad programming, bad unethical practices and this is why you get hacked online.
This site is a joke they use no real password validation ( this is why they got hacked so be careful it's still the same or worse) my Facebook password is much more secure because facebook has good validation in place.
You would think AM would pay more attention to detail but it's a site for old stupid people who think their privates not their brains
It's also very very expensive!

Rip off
September 11, 2016

You can`t communicate with another profiler unless you buy "cedits" which enable you to send meaasges. Each message costs around 10 USD to send.

I have a strong suspicion that mostly all the profiles of women are fake.
Why would a 29 year old beautiful sexy woman living in Texas be interested in a middle aged over weight man living in Asia?
This was mostly the "interest" I was getting from my profile.
Again, it just incourages you to buy more "credits" to send a message.

Just a huge scam really.

My advice, use a local publication, Tinder or craigs list, its free.

Scam...
September 10, 2016

What a joke. In my opinion, Planted fake female profiles from across the country that Ashley Madison use to contact you and get you to spend your credits. Ashley Madison at least have the decency to use fake profile that are within the same area as the targeted profile. As a business model this works great for creating income for Ashley Madison while draining your account with no/little results. Not worth the time or investment of your money.

AM has a smart marketing and I admit that I like their campaigns. The product itself is overpriced for the huge amount of international fake profiles you will find browsing the member base.

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!
