My Ashley Madison review.
It's more expensive to start then any other dating site that I'm aware of. In reality if it lived up to it's advertisement it would be no big deal. You'll find a bunch of fake profiles you know this because they want you to send them a picture and message and that is exactly what you get charge for nothing else. There's not very many profiles within 100 mile radius in the Atlanta area with pictures and like I said the ones that are are fake. I would not recommend this site to anyone and will never give them a penny of my money again. Hope this helps you before you waste your money.

Can't figure this site out. I have met probably 10 women on here and met all of them including one fairly significant affair with a wonderful woman. That being said, I have found a huge increase in fake profiles. Recently a few nice responses and wham profile taken down. Some also just don't respond. It just seems like a real trend and I suspect the owner has just gotten more and more greedy. Since women are not charged, it is all based on ripping off men.

Seriously. Of course AM has lots of disadvantages, but we don't live in an ideal world and AM being a pioneer in extramarital affairs is even more than just OK.
Given I travel a lot for work, Ive used AM, VM and nostringsaffair.com a lot to find affairs with no strings attached while on the road. All of these sites work quite good for me. I see people complaining on lack of real members... guys, there's plenty of real women on affair sites. And given that majority of such sites are men, I personally think that fake profiles aspect is sort of natural selection :) So only smart ones will be able to get in touch with me

I'd estimate 90-95% fake profiles and con artists on AM. Fakes and bots are used to make you deplete credits. Con artists make money by blackmailing and ruining your reputation. Either way, AM is dangerous and useless. I did not find what I wanted, I didn't even get close to it. Basically I just wasted my money. My experience with AshleyMadison was horrendous. After wasting tons of credits I hooked up a real woman but she turned out to be a con artist and an experienced blackmailer. She nearly ruined my life. Don't play with fire guys!

Ok
December 21, 2015

Can't agree that online dating is dead. There's still a lot of sites providing a great service and ashleymadison is one of the best in its field. I think they need to pay more attention to the quality of the database though. But it's not difficult to distinguish fake members from real ones.
If spending hours on separating wheat from the chaff is too much for you, try other smaller sites, which are cheaper but can still provide great results: nostringsaffair.com or saphrina.com

Suspected profiles were fake so I blitzed about 20 "women" in "my area" to see if they were fake. Blew threw my entire basic membership "fee" for the month in less than 1 day sending messages that ate up my credits. What a scam. Got back generic messages that were all the same.
I did get back one brief reply of 2 words from a profile that was supposedly in my town at 10:30 pm... however the time date stamp on their reply email was for 3:30 am the next day!
Hilarious, apparently the scammer was in Europe someplace!

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!

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.

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).

Spending almost 5 months on AM yielded no contacts at all! Not to mention the cost factor! I found the women i made contact with would delete the profile within a day or two. This raised the suspicion the profiles were either fake or being controlled. So i cancelled my profile deleted it for good! Accidentally the I found that member initiated fee of 29.00 was being deducted after i turned it off and verified it was off several times! Totally unbelievable! This is a scam site in my opinion, I'm sorry but I don't see much being real on this site.

Save your money
November 16, 2018

Tons of FAKE profiles. I did have a 47 yr old, 175 pound hooker ask me for $300.00 for an hour! Lots of profiles with NO pic. The site is advertised as a site where you can hook up, but how can you hook up if there is no pic to look at? I say give MATCH.com a try. Every profile has a pic. I would also be very concerned about any review on here that claims AM is a GREAT site, they were probably put on here by AM! Lol Stay away and save your cash!

Absolute scam
March 27, 2014

Absolute scam - I don't even know if there are any real women there. After 5 days I posted my picture and I am in great shape both from a finance and looks point of view 42 year old male. In my commentary I made it very clear what are the benefits of contacting me. I did it on purpose, as I was curious if anyone at all will respond. Nobody did for a week, except a scammer with a picture from a porn site, where the logo of the site was still at the bottom corner... Foolish me - offloaded 100 usd to buy credits, but serves me right - should look for reviews online next time before I pay!

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!

Gold Diggers, Prostitutes, Sugar Daddy Seekers, worthless teases and Ashley angels.
There might be real woman there but don't waste your time.
You have a better chance of meeting a woman at the super market.

Too good to be true.
April 18, 2018

If you feel that something is too good to be true, you're probably right. I signed up and immediately got a barrage of site generated winks and messages, mostly from profiles with no pictures and no where near the age group I was looking for. To make a long sad story short, it's a complete waste of money. If you think you will get laid from someone on this site, you'd be better off to invest in a nice bottle of lube and start stroking yourself.

After you've been involved for a week or so you start to see a pattern. Woman message men for free but it comes to us as a collect message, when you click on it and spend your $ it ends up being a generic message that after you see 3-4 of them it's obviously a preset message that there is no way 4 different woman give you almost the exact message "thanks for your interest but I only respond to complete messages, tell something about yourself that would interest me" you mean she can't see my profile? 3 weeks in, $300 spent, 50+ message sent and I've received a message back from 1 lady. Do not throw away your $

... at least that's my opinion. Decided to stick with nostringsaffair.com for now but might try this again in a few weeks to see if there are more members in my area. Nice looking site and easy to use, ill say that much for it.

AM dating 7/10
July 9, 2018

AM is ok but I prefer nostringsaffair.com personally but each to their own. For my location it just seems to work really bloody well with a lot of genuine females looking for something a bit risky. You have to try as many sites as possible, that's the key to this game so still worth a shot IMO

Patience
December 2, 2018

First, I'm an older married guy. In great shape, not so bad to look at, No hunk either. So I'm torn, give it a 1 for the many fakes, give it a 5 for the 4 ladies I've laid, including 1 one night stand with 4 hours notice. Guys outnumber girls, obviously. I've tried other sites and have also scored on miss travel, POF, and badoo, I've had my longest lasting fling from POF, 10 years and counting. And a gal I met on badoo saw me every time I visited her city for 8 years. It takes lots of credits to message lots of girls to weed through the fakes. Is it worth the money? NO, every guy should stay away. I will gladly meet every one of the real women on here instead of competing with you.

Bought the basic package and had mixed results. Contacted a number of women and for the most part didn't even get a reply or got a reply and then after endless chatting and excuses never did meet. Obviously fake profiles. Did however get laid by one lady and hooked up with a couple. The husband watched while I did his wife for about 2 hours, who btw was quite attractive. Final opinion... there are easier and less time consuming ways to get laid.
