Ashley Madison

Open relationships can be a bit taboo for many, but it works perfectly for me and my wife. And we're happy with our lives, having been married for 12 years and counting.
Both of us act like we're having an affair to the person we're sleeping with, but we always let each other know the truth about what's going on.
We're using several sites, but ashleymadison and nostringsaffair.com are the ones we use most.
My wife is more lucky with AM (probably because there are many more men than real women), while I'm happy with nostringsaffair.
If you're having tough times in your marriage, but still want to save it, then maybe an open relationship is the solution. But of course, what works for some people doesn't necessarily work for others.

I've been a member for 5 years and have met some lovely men and one or two disappointing men.

For the men in these reviews who claim they had no luck, I can only imagine they put little effort into their profiles, or else when they shared photos women did not find them attractive. You can hardly blame the website for that.

Also, if your wife won't shag you, it's unfair to assume a complete stranger will. Attend to your personal hygiene.

Don't throw away your money by signing up. The site carefully designed into getting you to pay so you can message profiles that show interest in receiving your message. As soon as you respond, you get charged for messaging a fake profile. Been on it for over a year with no luck. Just trying to use up my credits for now. I had paid far less for Bumble, OKC, Tinder, Hinge and had awesome dates. I recommend use those sites instead of this scam.

As one person said earlier it's all about being in shape, well groomed and considerate. You figure women are receiving 20 or more messages per day and guys 0. So the competition is fierce. I am 57 and have been on here for 5 years. I have met around 25 women and slept with about 20 from ages of 35 to 55. Most end up being one night stands because it is so difficult to find the right chemistry or coordinate schedules. My biggest issue is women having facial pictures and saying they weigh 130 lbs and in reality more like 170 lbs. I have heard many stories from women being disappointed that what the see is not what shows up. Best thing is to keep distance reasonable, be in shape, have current photos and be sincere.

I'm a male from DC who's been using AM on and off over the last 2 years.

Cons first: in my opinion it can become a little expensive so if you can't spend much money you should at least consider to try other good affair sites like Saphrina. Just keep in mind that if you are outside a metropolitan area most of the times AM will be the better site to use because they have much more members than any other site in this category.

That being said...

I've been using AM on and off for two years and during this time I have had several "hookups". From my experience, if you create an interesting profile, write decent messages (no copy/paste, try to tailor it to the woman's profile) AM works, no matter what everyone else says. Consider the gender imbalance you will find on AM, but on any other affair site as well. That is part of the game.

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.

Ok, let's start with the total bs.
The men outnumber the women 25:1 They lie so much about that.
Any new profile under 25 is almost guaranteed to be a hooker or a fake.
So, sure there are some real older ladies in the ocean, but they're surrounded.

The biggest problem I have with the breach is invasion of privacy. The digital age we live in has made it too easy for any and everybody to access your personal information. We could argue morality and ethics all day long, but no crimes were committed. Although it may be one of the Ten Commandments depending on your beliefs, committing adultery is not against the law. We are not talking about crimes against children. This is about encounters between consenting adults. I think it is wrong to expose people in this way. The government, corporations and the "morality police" needs to stay out of people's business. There has to be a line drawn. What next? If I was one of the person's exposed, I would consider taking legal action. But I don't feel the ones stupid enough to use a work computer have a leg to stand on. We have got to take back our rights. Everybody has skeletons in their closet. Outing people this way serves no purpose.

Do NOT use this site. As confirmed by media investigating this, 99% of the female profiles are fake. They are also going to send you a lot of messages in order to deplete your account. Seekingarrangement.com (I have no association/interest in them) is actually full of real women, I was shocked. It's amazing that, at the end of the day, women are overwhelmingly OK with selling themselves for sex. I mean, college girls from conservative families are on there making dates for a few hundred.

Stay away from this site, it's a scam!
Their idea is simple, soon as you tempted to sign up for free account you are getting loads of messages and "matches" from lots of users with lovely photos.
Sure enough you can't replay them unless you pay premium subscription.
*** This is the trap! ***
Non of these profiles is real, neither are the photos... Searching Google for this photos will show you the same photos in large number of websites (in many cases).
Sure enough, now you would like to give it a go, but don't be surprise, not a single 'members' that sent you a message prior to your payment will reply!
After you been fooled and paid your $$ it's over.!

An absolute waste of time. I have never been bombarded by more scammers and spam. I even had a Nigerian Scammer hit me up. Reporting a profile doesn't do anything either. You report someone as suspicious and you still see them on the site weeks later. I imagine they like to keep the search numbers high. They don't really care if you have quality results, just quantity.

The affair guarantee package. Have you read this? So crazy! They require so much trying to have a hook up becomes a full time job.

This is the third time I've tried the site out, and it's been worse everytime. I won't do it again.

I was on this site for a month and was really turned off by the rules that are designed to drain your account rapidly. You have to pay to initiate conversation in addition to the nominal monthly rate. As soon as I joined I realized I had been had. I actually did speak with one female on the site but never met her as I had experienced so many fake profiles and scams... it's exhausting to skim through fake profiles... At the end I felt the task of conducting such arduous searching was not worth the supposed reward. If you want an affair just use another dating site... AM is a scam!
