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.

I don't know why they need a website that is based on the goal of cheating on your better half. Do they not think there is enough infidelity going on already? I can understand that those in a bad domestic situation might get help here but there are other ways to go about it.

Found my girlfriend!
January 18, 2021

This website is good. User friendly quickly filters what I am looking for and directs me to the sites. But after 5-6 date I was not getting what I wanted :( then I found
datesforyou.org which by far exceeded my expectations. Guess what, everything was better than this and there were good and quality people for real. After 2 dates I found my hot cute girlfriend! :)

Revenge is sweet!
June 14, 2016

Found out my husband was cheating last year and have been going pretty mad on these affiars sites. I like AM for sure but its not quite as good as Nostringsaffair.com in my honest opinion. I use both now anyway, as I charge them on the credit card that gets paid by our joint bank account and quite like the idea that he is paying towards me flirting and yes, sometimes even meeting and sleeping with other men. Hes lucky he still has me though and ill probably stop this eventually, but we have a daughter so I made a decision to stay married for her (but also for me to live a little again, as he clearly was doing). Anyway, digressing a bit but the point is that Id give AM 7.5 out of ten as im never short of invitations and most of the men seem alright.

Total Scam
June 14, 2016

This site is designed to rip of men. They program BOTS to try and lure you to buy credits and then burn through them. There are some real profiles but i bet less than 1/3 are real. Total rip off!

I guess it wont surprise anyone to read that I was a bit wary about trying this site (as I am for any cheating site ive been using nostringsaffair.com for a while now too and felt the same nerves when I joined that), affairs are a risky business at the best of times but I guess thats part of the thrill the idea that youre after a taste of the forbidden fruit gives everything that extra edge. But when youre having an affair through a dating site you leave a trail and no matter how computer illiterate you think your wife is, youre one Cosmo article on how to catch your husband cheating online away from being found out! But overall, I must say Im glad I got over my concerns and gave it a shot. I like checking my phone after the wife and kids go upstairs for the night and I have a bit of me time. I like having filthy webcam chats on my lunch breaks at work (you can say anything you want to the women on these sites, things youd never dare say to your wife). Sure, I come across the odd fake profile and ive heard all the bad stuff but at the end of the day, it takes some common sense and caution, as long as you stick with that youll be fine. Dont go using your own name, dont tell people where you live (always hotel meets) and dont go sending money to stunning women who wont meet you but have fallen desperately for your charms. Be smart and be careful and you can get a kick out of these kind of sites. I know I do.

Been using this site for 6 months now and I have met several women. It is not easy though and you can tell that there are like 10 times as many men using this site which obviously makes it a perfect place for women. I can tell why they love it. As another option I have been using Saphrina and would also recommend it. I had the feeling that the ratio between men and women seems to be a little more balanced.

Affair dating can be quiet challenging and don't expect immediate results.

In my opinion there are too many men using this site which make it a perfect site for women. Of course they love AM and it is by far the best site for women. They can basically chose. For the same reason I know that many men start using alternative sites like Saphrina and other sites. So I am not really sure if it is the best option for men. You need a lot of patience and creativity to hook up with a woman using this site. If you know how to play the game you will be fine.

Agony of choice
January 18, 2021

There are so many men using AshleyMadison I can tell why why women seem to like this site a lot. They have the agony of choice. For the same reason I know that many men start using alternative sites like Saphrina. So I am not really sure if it is the best option for male users. For women it is, that is pretty clear!

Try To Impress...
June 5, 2016

Once a woman creates a new profile she gets bombarded by messages. No wonder why they don't bother to respond to all messages, especially those which are simply annoying. So the idea is to impress with unique and creative messages.

There are women on this site, especially in larger areas. And believe me when I say that I have never used a better site than Ashleymadison.com (and Saphrina.com, which works just fine as well).

Not convinced yet
June 3, 2016

There are definitely some real women on AshleyMadison but not as many as id like. When I compare it with nostringsaffair.com or VM id say I probably get less replies. Not sure if its worth paying for another month but will see.

Must say Im a big fan of these affairs sites that have been cropping up all over the place and AshleyMadison is another good example of how to do it right for customers. Its a lot better than Victoria Milan in my opinion in terms of site usability and only just falls behind NoStringsAffair.com in terms of numbers of people that appear in search results. Definitely a good site and when you mix it with one or two of the others you really discover why the internet is such an amazing invention global communication is one thing but who would have thought youd have a discreet way to meet other married people who actually want to have an affair in secret using just your computer or phone? We live in a golden age with the emergence of online dating and the best part is, my wife thinks Im researching our next boring beach vacation right now. Time to log in and find some fun this weekend I thinkbrilliant!

It ain't easy!
May 24, 2016

I've been using a few adultery sites and most of them are just a big scam. 'AshleyMadison' IS NOT! It ain't easy though! But you need to understand that even the good adult dating sites like 'Saphrina' and 'AshleyMadison' have a pretty bad male-female ratio.

My advise is: You need to stand out! D/t surplus of men women can basically chose who they are chatting with. And if you ain't creative they ain't answering!

Also it is useful not to put all eggs in one basket. Depends on where you are from you may be more lucky using 'Saphrina' while in other areas 'AshleyMadison' has more members. Always test and figure out where you feel most comfortable on.

Dangerous
May 22, 2016

I just read an interesting report on FusionNet about the AshleyMadison Hack a few months ago. Jesus, I totally missed it. An affair website should be safe. You are dealing with sensitive information! I am still a member of AshleyMadson but have not logged in for a long time. Just now I realize how dangerous it is to use this website.

3/5 Ashley Madison
May 17, 2016

Site is ok but as the most famous place for online promiscuity dating I expected more. Id only tried nostringsaffair.com before this and expected that AM would blow that site away because its so well-known, but actually I think I prefer no strings affair in the end. A bit disappointed I must say as you hear a lot of stuff (good and bad) about AM but I seriously expected better results.

Discreet & fun
May 16, 2016

Ive been married to my husband for 7 years and we have two kids. I love him but its not like it was when we were teenagers. Sex is pretty much non-existant (anniversaries/ birthdays) and I think hes happy that way. I could never leave the father of my twins but when I heard about sites like Ashley Madison, nostringsaffair.com, etc I knew I had to give them a try, just to see what theyre like. Ill be honest and say I havent met any one in person yet on the sites I use, but I do like chatting to guys and flirting with the idea. Id have to feel completely confident of keeping it a secret if I did meet up and im not ruling it out. But I love the naughty and discreet talks I have with guys who clearly want me when my husband does not. Cant really give it 5 stars because ive never gone all the way yet but im happy for the moment.

Your site is totally fake, well 90%, all the girls do is try to get you to send a message, that's where it ends, you will be hearing more from me, do not sign up for this site, it is a total rip off, trust me, don't see for your self. Took them on with pay pal you can guess who won the battle and I offered up every email with the bs.

I have been a member since 2013. There are so many fake profiles, what is worse is that is costs money every time you write to one of them. So the more fake profiles they create, the more likely you are to write to one of them. It is so rare to get any response. It's hard to believe they are still in business. Once I use up my credits, I'm leaving.

I have used AshleyMadison.com some years ago before I discovered Saphrina.com and honestly, I always liked it and I managed to have an affair with some women I met. IMO there are only two or three good affair dating sites and this sure is one of em!
