Ashley Madison

Paid $80 just to send a few messages to women only for it to go nowhere. Most didn't even bother responding even though it's free for women to message. I'm a good looking/fit guy in my mid 30's making over $100k a year, but most of these women who are at best 4-5's and probably with kids have the luxury to be extremely picky. The guy to girl ratio is probably 10-1, so even remotely attractive women receive 20 messages a day from mostly bozos. Not gonna pay another $80 to send messages to 5's and not even get a response. What a joke…

Guys, this site sucks! The girls are either old skanks or good looking scams! EVERY decent looking girl ended up asking for money, OR wanting me to pay for some scam "safe dating verification " website. Don't waste your money nor time!

AM is great for women posting but for men prepared to be scammed in one way or another. I searched the Tri State area 200+ miles and discovered that 75% are fake profiles (no lie)! I was messaged by a nice woman warning me on how AM is scamming Men using those fake profiles. Most use automated messages to entice you to respond using your credits $$$$. Then nothing "crickets"
You also have a lot of single female posts looking for sugar daddies and generous men, You know what that means "wink wink"
Once you seen these cheesy messages, they are easy to spot. So bottom line once you weed out all the junk. This site is a ghost town. In the NY, NJ, CT area lmao..

I'd give the site a 1 star but did actually meet one woman 7 months ago. I'm not a hard luck case and don't have issues meeting woman. I thought it would be a nice way to find specifics in what I'm looking for. That said, issues that concern me on the site- 1) The second I ran out of credits, 2 " women" sent me messages collect. How convenient. 2) But, they sent me messages and never looked at my profile? Come on, if you take the time to respond you at least click to see who someone is. 3) They have a " flirt" response on the men's selections that says "Please check out my profile to see if you might be interested in connecting with me. If you are interested, "wink" me back and I will initiate contact!" This is free. It seems fair, only spend money on messages to women that at least show a small amount of interest. The trouble is, The main response you get back is " Sorry, I only have time to review full messages" so a complete waisted set of communications. Come on AM, your way more interested in making bucks than actually providing any meaningful way for people to find others and pay you fairly to do it. Please, show them you don't like their business practices and stop buying credits, cancel you account, and hurt them for taking advantage of people...

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 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.

Worst site ever. Full of scammers just want to take your credit card details. Models, overseas ladies despite my search being 50k or less, oriental ladies trying to scam. Didn't meet one legit female all week. Stay clear

Just got on the site, but very clear already that the site is not living up as advertised. Getting responses from fake profiles for sure. What women contacts you 10 minutes after you sign up from half way around the world. Then there are local profiles that look fake as well with what looks like scheme to get you to purchase credits. Purchasing credits to contact is ok but way way too expensive. I think there are legitimate profiles on here but overwhelmingly actual people looking seems are the extreme minority. Will use the rest of my credits and delete the account.

Five years ago I had success with meeting real women on this site. However, during the past three years, I've only encountered fake profiles, scammers, and increased prices. All in all, I'm wondering if the previous owners sold off their solid product to some less-than-desirable newcomers who don't have legitimate aspirations to offer a solid product anymore;(

Mostly a scam with fake profiles and heavy messaging fee. They post return messages making it sound real but actually are not. They expect you to spend 100s of dollars before it actually works. Dont waste your time try a bar instead.

I have used AM for a couple of years with some degree of success. I gave up last fall since it seemed fake profiles and bots were all that I encountered. I evidently had a senior moment and forgot about the bots, etc and signed up again. Same old bots and fake profiles. I don't believe any of the responses or any notifications I have received are from real people. My advice is to stay away from Ashley Madison.

My wife and I never got any luck on AM, but we have had great luck finding like minded people on NoStringsAffair. We would greatly recommend it to anyone looking to find friends and explore. A lot of people there are open minded and willing to talk about alot of topics. They have a good variety of all types of people and interests, something for everyone.

Two stars because the site is most all fake profiles or people trying to get money. 100% of the so called women interested in me wanted me to put my personal information and credit card number on another site. Either that or wanted me to buy them a gift cards. No one chatted on video but they kept asking for my phone number to text me. Then they said go to their link and give out all my personal information. Obviously they think men are $#*!ed. The site is not a viable hook-up site. Have the women pay at least something and ban prostitution from it and it might work. I have been told that no woman has sex for free. I disagree. 10% of young men who look good without a shirt get laid on Tinder. The rest foot the bill by paying for the service. So 90% of guys pay for the top 10% on Tinder. No chance of getting sex without paying on AM for guys. Prostitution is illegal in most places in the USA and degenerate police are always looking to entrap lonely men so it's men that face the most danger on these sites. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to meet women is in real life. The Internet sucks for 90% of guys. The site is absurdly expensive with no results. Don't waste your money guys. You could have a few really good dinners at a crowded sports bar for the price of just one month of nothing at AM.

Fake messages from fake people. I've had some of the real people tell me they never sent the message AM sent from their profile. Just a way to scam you out of your $$. Pathetic.

Hi so am trying to get a date in this site AM but most of the girls there would ask me to go to another site wish and make a profile there too but all of those site aks for a CC and am not too sure to do that. Any advice on how this works

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!

I was on AM 9yrs ago. Back then there wasn't as many escorts or catfish online. I did find several honest to goodness ladies online and had a long term affair with one of them.

Just now, I was on for about a month. I chatted with several real ladies, met 2 that really seemed good at first but ended up being very strange and I had to cut it off. The last straw was a catfish, but it was very apparent that it was fake. LOTS of young escorts peddling their wares on there now.

You have to be careful because AM has hidden fees that will be charged unless you opt out. Quite a few traps like that.

If you are really serious about finding the perfect match, it will take lots of your time and credits (money). But I think most will find someone if you are not really picky.
Remember, those of us on AM are cheaters, liars and not the cream of the crop, lol. Beware of scammers, catfish, fakes, etc.

This is a ripoff. No one ever replies to you. You'd think that these women are looking for the same thing we are, but they never reply. A lot of times, a girl sends you a message, you pay to read it and all they say is hi. Thats it.
After spending all my inital credits and have 1 (one) legit reply, they automatically billed me for 79.
After I complained, they refunded me and guess what? 4 spectacular ladies immediately wnated to start conversation and opened up their photos. The same ladies that never replied me in the first place. And... Her face is uncovered and photos are sexually explicit. Why would married women do this?

This is a scam. I believe you could eventually score someday, but you'd have to fight through the fakes, and lose a lot of money in the process.

DO NOT use this website.

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.

I've occasionally chatted with what I think are real women, but mostly men or fakes. I know this because after a while they tell me. Also, I used to get tons of messages and emails from women', so I bought some credits. All of those messages (were talking 3-5 a day?) immediately stopped once I paid them money. That tells me those were fakes, that the site manipulates you into paying for credits. I'm sure 1/1000 profiles on that site are real, but you buy credits to initiate contact only to find that the profiles are escorts or men or whatever. Not worth it.

These sites are all the same, promises of sex but I cant find it. Ive only ever got lucky once online. Im starting to question the whole thing.

Hopefully I can make this short and to the point. I read some of these other reviews on this site and they are correct or I have experienced the same. Now granted to be fair I have only been on the site for two weeks and probably need to give it more time. But these are my initial results. First, yea, you are going to have to spend money to buy credits so you can message or chat with these girls Even though you are searching (you choose an area, like 20 miles away or 50 miles away) local you will get inundated with girls messaging you from all over the country, UK, Australia. What the "F" is that going to do for me. I want to say "you want to meet, get your $#*! on a plane and come meet me." Oh, I forgot, you are not real. Just a set up for me to spend credits. I'm 55, good looking mature man, but most of my contacts are girls anywhere between 23 and 27 years old. Really! And guys, you will see pictures of beautiful ladies that you know have no worries in getting men in the "real" world that will contact you. Tell them to go back to their job at Hooters and leave you alone. If you get 100 contacts, maybe 2 are real. And you know what, you kind of feel sorry for them. If you thought you are going to get on this site and bang local women constantly, forget it. Lastly, look for the oriental girls coming out of NYC (there must be 20 of them sitting in a room somewhere hired by Ashley Madison) just messaging you all night. To talk to them you have to spend 30 credits for a half our chat. Really, "me not that horny." Man, am I naive. Hope this helps, I could go on and on.

I have just joined this site and am not really persueing anybody yet but does anybody get message that say Textmèee and there is a phone number say to text them what is that about and I live in Canada and all these messages are from the US very strange l don't know what to expect if I respond as it seems kinda odd to me why cant these sites just rid the fake scams crazy stuff can someone clue me in possibly P FROM TORONTO AREA

I have been on and off that site for years. After a spending a good chunk of money fending off bots and a TON of scammers you might meet a real woman. If you don't mind going through the many rejections when women don't like your profile picture, think your too short, not their type, etc., then you might meet a woman who wants to meet. I have had a tryst and a long term affair on AM. The women were very nice and my long term thing was special, but I could have pulled that woman at a coffee shop or bar if the opportunity presented itself. If you're looking to have an affair, meet a woman offline. It's safer and less expensive. If you're looking for a hook up, or sugar baby then Tinder or OK Cupid is a lot more bang for your buck than AM.

Ps… there are a lot of lonely woman on AM who just want to talk and suck up your time. They make excuses for not wanting to meet. If you are not looking for something physical and are ok with the "online" affair, then it might be worth your time. For me, I wanted a physical thing and finding that took time, game, and money for those bloody credits.

Been on the site for 3 months. I had an encounter with one real person i will assume. Women noth online and off line are always the same they don't change. New members always show up in places far away from you. Really expensive. Funny how all the female members respond to your wink with " I do better with full msg, or I am only interested in full msg. Etc." i think some features teally need to be updated and be more fair between male and email.
