“WORKED GREAT FOR ME”

Sheri O.
7/8/23

I was on AM several years ago and found it to be a lot of fun. I met wealthy, successful, married gentlemen who treated me very well. I enjoyed their company and their money. Each relationship lasted 2 to 3 months. If you're a lady who enjoys fine dining, shopping, casinos and travel then you'll be pleased with AM.

Top Critical Review

“6 months and absolutely nothing.”

Fake profiles and fake emails to get you to keep hanging on. They'll send you emails saying she's interested but they don't respond or look at my pictures for so many tokens and the pictures are the same as her profile pictures. No one responds unless they're trying to sell you something. I could have gotten a good hooker for the money I wasted on this site.

As a women, I can tell you that this site works. I've met and hooked up with a lot of great guys. However, I will say that since there are considerably more men than women on the site you have to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Women like to be wined and dined and brought on business trips, to a nice hotel, etc... Be patient, it works. I found a great guy who I have been hooking up with on a regular basis for over 2 years now and we are very happy with the arrangement.

6 years ago I registered in Ashley Madison I was miserable in my marriage and I meet other lovely guy that was married also he was miserable in his marriage
He work in wall street and he is very successful and the same is my story I am very successful I work for hotel industry
So we start fooling around and everything start like a game but this story transformed into the most amazing love story.
6 years later he divorced his wife I divorced my ex husband and we are so in love
We are engaged today and we are crazy about each other
Ashley Madison is the best site in the world
And dreams become reality when you list expect.
So yes take a risk jump and register you never know who you will meet and maybe get married with a successful amazing person.

I tried quite a few extra-marital affairs websites and there were only a few sites I really liked. I'd probably rank Ashleymadison as the best in this category (or maybe Saphrina, not really sure if I like it more or less cuz I found an affair partner on both sites but it seems to have less members). With a little patience you can find real women looking to hookup. Most are mssing passion at home and are desperately looking for some acknowledgement. Yes, there are some dubious contacts but ignore them and you'll be fine.

This site is the worse of the worse in every way possible. So expensive and money goes so fast. Bunch of fake stuff. What a huge rip off. Stay far and clear. They should be ashamed of themselves.

For all the reasons the men probably hate it, if you are an attractive attached woman it's fantastic. For men who think no one is real, it's because the reality is the real women just don't fancy you. Get over it. Why would an attractive 30 something old woman want to have an affair with an overweight, 50 something balding man? So yes, I was contacted by lots of unattractive, boring men but I also met one of the most beautiful, successful and intelligent lovers I have ever had. Go in ready to filter out all the noise and you will be rewarded.

You get out the effort that you put in! I consider AshleyMadison.com one of the best sites of its kind! It is a little more expensive than comparable sites like Saphrina.com but if money is not an issue you strongly suggest to use both sites! You need to remember that women are outnumbered on those kind of sites. Seek and you will find!

So, this is a pretty great site for both men and women. I've found some amazing guys and have been on some mindblowing dates. They have real men and not catfishers which happens a lot in other websites. AM has worked for me because I found many lovers over here. Great site

I am a female with a disabled husband. Loved this site. Found a long term paramour that I adore. Ladies, you will have lots, of guys to choose from. I wanted some one who wanted more than a short term relationship. Be honest about what you are looking for. My guy was on the website 9 months before he found me. He did have one casual date that did not work out. We are both in our 60s! Pure Joy!

I've been using Ashley Madison for a while and let me tell you I haven't started sleeping with woman until I started using this website. I don't know what it is but the woman are way more open minded on here! My recommendation is to try it out I'm 57 years old and weight 210 so if they are willing to meet up with me I'm sure they will meet up with anyone. http://bit.ly/AshleyMadisonPage

Be patient and get rewarded or be lazy and fail. Using Ashleymadison is no rocket science but if you have no clue how to attract women Ashleymadison will not improve your chances. Unlike other reputable adultery websites (Saphrina for example) you pay by credits and that means that every approach costs $ and if you suck with women you will lose a lot of money even before you even had a chat or a date. If you know how to attract women Ashleymadison is one of the few adultery sites which really work. Just don't enter the stage with wrong expectations. Also consider to use more than one site. Boosting your chances with an additional membership on Saphrina is always recommendable.

If you want to keep your affair secret AdultsFun.club is a better option. It's safer because it's not so well-known and they control their platform: they ban dodgy users so scammers don't run rampant there like they do on AshleyMadison. AshleyMadison is full of scammers and it's very unsafe. You can have people stalking you, requesting money, exposing your correspondence, ruining your reputation. I learned my fair share of lessons: I was blackmailed and this scammer nearly ruined my family.
If you want an affair - AshleyMadison is the wrong place. It's a money scam!
AM managers are greedy. I think they are up to their necks in this scam, otherwise I don't know why they never ban profiles of blackmailers and money hungry scammers. All my reports were ignored. All scammers are still there "working" with their new victims preying on their money.

AM is full of fake profiles, as much as any other dating site is (ok maybe a little bit more due to its popularity), but if you're not stupid, you can easily recognize and ignore them.
I travel a lot and AM and nostringsaffar.com are the sites I use for my discreet adventures (using both of them just doubles up my chances and also there could be lack of members on AM in some areas, while there's enough of them on nostringsaffair and vice versa).

Im not surprised to see that AM still exists even after they were hacked a few years ago. Many competing sites hardly have any real members. Only alternative I see is Saphrina but that's about it and most other sites don't even come close. AM rocks!

I'm a woman in a major metropolitan area. I found just what I was looking for. The guys that aren't successful on here may not know how to talk to women or want to rush too fast. I had one creep basically state how disappointed he was after I clammed up at his hotel suggestion immediately after starting contact.

If and when this arrangement doesn't work any longer, I'll log onto AM again in a heartbeat!

Women- there are a lot less of us on here than there are men, which is to our advantage. Put up your profile and they will come in droves. The men I have met are all professional, successful, attractive men and you can really pick and choose between them. I have had one three year affair, one two year affair, and several shorter term things. I love the site! My husband has not been as lucky. There are so many men it is difficult to stand out and get a woman's attention. I got over 700 messages the first few days after I signed up. Impossible to read through them all, which is why people are reporting that they don't get responses. My husband is not very assertive on the site. One of my lovers has had a lot of success because he tried. He actively messaged women, and several responded over the years he has been a member.

I've been on A.M. now for about 4 years and have met and had sex with 19 women, 4 of which I still see regularly. I can't believe all of the poor reviews on here, but it probably correlates very well to the horror stories the women I have met have told me. Guys with crazy requests, sending $#*! pics immediately, being stalkers through email when you haven't even talked to or met the person yet! Guys, get a clue! Your horrible profiles and behavior is making it very easy for guys like me. I'm no superstar, average looks, average body, hair pretty thin on top, 41 years old and I'm still picking up 25 year olds because I know how to write and talk in a way that sparks interest. It's about separating yourself from the herd of morons who can't write 2 good sentences in a row and then expect women to come running when they send an email like "Meet me behind the gas station so you can blow me in my car" Yeah, that really turns them on... I probably shouldn't even post this cause either you will say I'm full of it, or I'll be helping a bunch of clueless guys start getting laid and cut in to my results. Regardless, A.M. is definitely legit. I won't say that there aren't some "pros" working on there, and maybe that is more apparent in a smaller area, but in large cities, this is the best thing since, well, I can't think of anything better.

Also, for those of you who complain about the cost of credits, I paid 149 for 500 which lasted 3 years. I'm sure most of you could spend that in a few nights at the bar buying drinks for ladies and still end up home alone. So, think about this, I've been with 19 women for under 150$, works out to less than 8$. I must not be a math major, cause that doesn't seem expensive to me.

Tip for consumers:
Spend time to write a good profile, do your research, google keywords that are subtle yet provocative.

I turned to AM after deciding I needed something extra in life. I'm 26 and married, having been with my husband since we were 16. When I first signed up it was very clear how scarce we females were with the overload of messages I received. After some searching and weeding through I found some wonderful men to talk to. It's true that all the good ones are married because these guys are amazing and just looking for some affection and attention that they aren't receiving otherwise. I no longer have a profile because I found someone on there in a similar situation as me who lives close and I see him everyday and it is so wonderful. People are so quick to think of AM negatively but all I know is it's made 2 people very happy.

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.

I've read reviews here from disgruntled men who may not have gotten a date with the woman they were pursuing. Perhaps the experience for women is different. But as a woman on that site, it is impossible to respond to every man who contacts you. Some men, after seeing my pictures, told me they thought I was 'fake' and they wanted my email address to prove I was real. I for one, won't waste my time with men who are suspicious. Also, many MANY men do not have a profile picture. I NEVER responded to a man without a face on his profile picture (you can blank out your eyes). I had 3 clear pictures of myself on public profile with eyes blanked out. It's enough to give a person a clear idea of your looks. And yes, it is about looks. After all, we're married and there's no other reason to do this than pure physical attraction.

Tip for consumers:
Gentleman, you will increase your chances if you put a CLEAR face picture on public profile (not just your nose, or a hand etc). I deleted all contacts from men with no clear face pic on profile (blank out eyes). I never read or opened even one. If a beautiful woman responds and you tell her you think she's fake.... you will never hear from her again. It makes you look insecure. It's a great site and I didn't have to stay on it for more than a few days. Pick the best looking ones, keep th

All you stupid religious $#*!s judging everyone. You are the stupidest people. Have you ever even thought about the $#*!ed words that exit your mouth. "Burn in hell?" Someone told you this bull$#*! when you were a kid and you have been too short-sighted and $#*!ed to ever question such a ridiculous notion.

Ashley Madison is real. I've been on the site for about four years and have met up with and had sex with over 8 women. It's a very slow and patient process. In addition, I'm mid 30's, in great shape, and picky. I'd say about a third of the attractive women are either fake profiles trying to get your email address. Another third are escorts or sugar babies. Fact of the matter is that the deck is stacked against you. However, when you are able to meet up with someone, it can be incredible. Keep the distances short as scheduling is a real challenge. Also, you have to remember the ratio of men to women. As a test, I have created a fake woman profile and gotten bombarded by men. For those folks complaining, take a look in the mirror and learn how to write some good copy. Women can get away with $#*!ty one sentence messages but men have to articulate. The numbers are against you.
