I've come to the realization since my first SiteJabber post, that Ashley Madison is at best 99% scammer's and 1% real chicks. That being said, their rates are ludicrous. You would have to spend a lot of money to find that real 1% and even if money is no issue to you, the amount of time to weed through the 99% is a full time job. I would not recommend this site... if possible, I would give it zero stars... why is it that site jabber doesn't allow zero stars?

The question shouldn't be is it real, but is it worth it.
If even one man/woman managed to have an actual affair through Ashley Madison, you could say that it's real.

If for every 1 real affair/hookup there are 100's or 1000's of fake users to slog through all the while you're giving them your hard earned money... does that sound like it's worth it?

It's real but once you weed out all the fake, gold digger, prostitute profiles. You are left with Slim pickings.

I've hooked up with over a dozen women from Ashely Madison. Number one thing I hear from those women was how creeped out they were by the messages they were getting from other guys. Even though it's a married hookup site, keep it respectable at least till you are chatting. And the guy that posted before is dead on, check to see if the person that sent you a message even looked at your profile, and even if they did do a quick sanity check. If you're 40 and it's from some hot 18 year old, chances are it's just a webcam scam, but if their profile looks legit then work some magic. I still have 4 regulars from their that I see on almost a weekly basis as long as my junk doesn't hurt too bad from the last encounter. Good luck and you can find my profile under the same name on the site if you want to get some tips on what I've done to get good results.

Oh it's all real, as real as women get. Even the handful of hookers looking for a buck on this site are for real. You just have to be smarter and more persistent than the other 100 guys you're competing against.

It's maybe only 5% real. The other 95% are either autobots that text you 1 or 2 stock phrases of endearment or "virtual gifts" once in a while, female A-M employees who tease you and send gifts (WITHOUT even looking at your profile) or prostitutes 20 years younger than you from up to 4,000 miles away.

Ashley-Madison 's mission is NOT to connect 2 willing adults, it is to separate you from your money as quickly as possible.

My reason for seeking a discreet affair was because my wife's severe illness made sex impossibly painful as well as taking away her libido. I wasted over a year. And I was looking for females within 5 years of my age (55), not women 25-45! My parents had regular sex for about 20 years longer than my sex life.

Its pure fantasy. As the site's terms and conditions mentions, the site is for entertainment purposes.
