Ashley Madison

None of the profiles are real. My guess is AM creates fake profiles to scam you on buying credits. Don't waste your time or money. I found that AFF is the same scam.

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!

Ok I just read some of the review (mostly men) I've been on AM since 2013 and I'm a Female, here is my view about AM men, yes I've heard lots of women's adds are fake there and guys are complaining about scam, which is not really nice of website, but GUYS do you know what is your problem not meeting anyone? When real women, whose looking for real relationship, not looking for SUGAR DADDY and begging you not to sent nude pics and you still do, when you see her pics and ignoring immediately just because she does not looks like a Victoria's Secret model or Barbie Doll, instead to be a GENTLEMEN and kindly say "I'm sorry you are not my type" no you are blocking her out. I can go on and on and on how you guys are acting there. So my suggestion as a WOMEN and REAL LADY, if you really are looking for human being and not a Runway Model, before you ask for heavenly perfection in women, take a good look in mirror and ask yourself question, ARE YOU PERFECT?

I've been on AM for many years, and from the sidelines, have been able to see the site change into the BS it is today (in 2015). There are very, very few 'actual' women on the site. The majority of women are hookers, strippers or fabricated by AM (ghost profiles - meaning you can capture an image and search the internet only to find the same 'fake' woman on escort listings, porn promos, etc).
This site has eroded from its original intent and has eroded to just another escort platform. SAVE YOUR MONEY - THIS ISNT THE SITE IT ONCE WAS.

I was looking for a relationship outsite my marriage and I used many extramarital sites, I think I 've used almost all of them starting from AffairLink to AshleyMadison to LonelyHousewives to Saphrina to SweetDiscreet to xxxMatch. I was very frustrated with most of them.

I was involved with a real woman on AshleyMadison and was having a great time. I've met several women on Saphrina and I am still currently involved with one of them. I had a chat with a women on AffairLink but she was too far away to meet up with.

AshleyMadison was one of the sites which actually worked. Be aware that it takes some money because if you really want to hook up it will cost you more than just the membership. You need to get a hotel room. It is up to you to split the hotel bills though.

There were some dubious contacts on AshleyMadison. Just watch out and sort through them.

Made the profile yesterday, Had a date literally today, went to see the details and my whole profile is gone and it won't tell me why nor can I even contact tech support DURING THE DAY. It made me miss my first date today with someone I REALLY liked and won't even tell me why it deleted my profile. I've been doing this lifestyle for years and avoided AM cause the media coverage but now I know the media was right. Ashley Madison is terrible and their tech support doesn't even exist. Just look up another site rather than even trying with Ashley Madison.

I have been on AM for about two years with great results. Yes, it initially costs $, but there are ways to game the system (I hope the AM admins don't read this). First, it is important to be aware that you don't use any credits communicating with a woman if she contacts YOU FIRST. I have met dozens of women through the site (only a small fraction in person, by my choice). Thus, guys, get them to contact you. To do this simply enter your search criteria, keeping it broad, and then click on the first profile that comes up. Then navigate through the search results by clicking the tab on the right of the yellow bar almost half-way down the page labeled "next." Literally go to each profile - you don't need to read it in any detail, when it pops up click next again until you have "viewed" every profile meeting your criteria. Often it only takes 10-15 minutes. The women you have viewed will see this on their profiles. Now, sit back and let them make the first contact and you can correspond with them scott-free (the bonus is the fakes won't contact you). You can repeat this as often as you like, but now you communicate with only the ones you like and it won't cost you a dime.

Read the reviews that have given this site 3+ stars. I've used this site for 5-6 years, have met over 40 girls in that period, and have had a few long term affairs. My experience is that all of the profiles are real, but not everyone wants to to talk to you. The ratio is probably 10+ girls to every guy, so you will need to understand that your first e mail will need to make an impression, and you really only have one chance once someone decides to communicate with you. My guess is that most guys start out with a wink, or a lame line like "hit me back if u want to hook up", which will not separate you from the masses. Like a previous reviewer said, bring your A game.

Generally, and not that everyone is the same, but girls cheat for romance and affection, and guys cheat for sex. If you're a guy, you need to genuinely care for the people you are meeting, and treat them well.

The cost may be a little high, at $2 per initial contact, but that's just the price of admission, and it's really the best way to meet like minded married people. It's pretty well laid out, and user friendly, once you explore it a bit.

If you want to e mail me on my experiences feel free to send me a message. I'm out of the game... but can probably give you a few tips to make it worthwile.

I paid almost 100.00 for the credits, sent a few messages, and a wink. Ran out of credits quickly. Will NOT be using this site again due to the selection of women over 50 and cost.

Unfortunately in this country we have made sex a massive sin. As such we have allowed sites like AM to flourish and take advantage of those of us who may experience a need for sex and think the internet is a way to find it. WRONG. Best to go to your local bar or some other place and do it the old fashioned way. If you do go to this site (or any other for that matter) be VERY CAREFUL about how you allow your credit card to be used. They will make it difficult and obfuscate both the terms and the means of stopping or getting out. They are skillful in getting you hooked and then racking up charges like a drunken sailor out in the red light district. Someone called them a business... they are shady at best. And the 'women' on the site? That is a whole other discussion. I got nowhere. Got plenty of prostitutes and other enterprising 'women' looking for ways to get me to do things for them... all of which involved taking more of your money. You see in the end it is true, women are from Venus and men are from Mars. Women are not just interested in sex. So go to ol' rosy and just deal with it. Or take your chances in the supermarket. Meanwhile, avoid this site and its pimping ownership.

After spending a bunch of credits responding to women who had no pics, but private galleries they (sometimes) opened, I thought to look for matching pics using Google Image search. I found the 46yr old woman's pic, supposedly from Roseville, Ca listed on Craigs List as a 23yr old escort in SanDiego 500 miles away.

I've met some nice women on AM, but they contacted me, I didn't have to burn a lot of credits chasing them around.

As for the IM feature, just turn it off. It's just full of fake members from NY, NY who want you to blow a whole load of credits on their fake blather.
