“Still #1 affair site”

Daniel W.
2/27/16

AM is still #1 affair site. Huge database of members, very well established brand. There are few cons though: - High price - Recent security breach - You have to pay to have your personal data vanished However, I still regularly use it (and if you know how to treat housewives, you'll get to the 4th base), but to double, or even triple up my chances, I use another great affair website recommended by lots of other guys here: Nostringsaffair.com. Happy hunting!

“A site that draws romance scammers.”

Dennis P.
10/27/24

I was contacted by 10 women using Ashley Madison and all 10 were "romance scammers". Some waited 5 minutes to start asking for money some waited a few days but they all were scammers. The site is not worth your time or bucks!

This site, free to women, is a complete $$$ grab for guys.
You need to buy credits to open messages you get, but 90 % of the messages are from the site saying " hey, hotbod1 is Looking to connect with you. "
Hotbod1 does not exist. Or has her profile hidden.
This 100 % a waste of your time. Complete scam

Hit the bar scene or isles of Home Depot. At least you know those folks are real!
All fake here guys. All fake.

Tip for consumers:
If you are a guy - skip it. It’s a complete scam

Well, as usual this site is probably a lot better for women, than it is for men. My wife have had a profile on AM for about 6 months or so and with great success. Shes been on dates with 15-20 different men so far and have not had a bad experience yet. She have also found her now regular steady boyfriend through AM and I know she have recommended the site to some of her friends as well.

I've had some great success. There are a lot of fakes on here like any other site. The ratio is not even close. But I have chatted with many and hooked up with many. But the common argument j hear is the quality of men. All you fools who can't hook up have to understand it's your fault. With all the disrespectful talk, and unwanted $#*! pics. Yes this is a site for married people to have affairs "sex". But what you are fidgeting or not understanding is these ladies could $#*! anyone of you fools. But they will choose who they want. You have to be better than the rest. Just be honest with your intentions. If all you want is to $#*! one time and be gone good luck. If you can't afford a hotel good luck. You think these married women want to ruin their entire lives to $#*! you in a car. They want an emitional connection, that's not a code word for love. It means that they really want a friend. Looks will open the door but your personality will open their legs.

Like many adultlet dating sites, watch out for automatic renewal charges. In addition, reading the terms and conditions one learns that the individual is responsible for all third party charges incurred on the site. Almost all of the contacts I've been contacted by were young, beautiful girls fishing you in for web cam sites. You will incur charges for web site services and the girls are skillful leading you on to their "special pass" they will make available to you. If you give your credit card number to "verify your age" you will establish a financial relationship with an offshore company. It's a big scam. In general, if you want to explore this site, with what appears, to be fake contacts, send them a money order through snail mail to protect your credit card charges. The web cam sites probably deliver a product but they didn't get a credit card number from me.

Now what,,,, cheaters are going to sue the website or 'whine whine whine' because they're getting exposed or fearful of getting exposed. Maybe they should have been honest with their wives and girl friends in the first place that they're not happy in their marriage or not happy with their sex life, before forking out a credit card and being the slime balls that they are.

I have been on several dating apps, including Match, POF, and a few others. They are all bad in their own way, however, I have met women on all of them. I have been on AM for over a year and have had several affairs, however, the app is such a fraud. First off, more than half are fake profiles and/or looking for money. AM also has fake pics up and will entice users to use their credits. It is so obvious because the profile will have only one pic and when u select that profile and ask them to look at yours they send you a message which will cost u 5 credits. Do NOT ever spend your credits on these profiles they are fake. The people operating AM have no morals and their techs are norons. AM has had the same technical issues for months. This site is s joke.

Tip for consumers:
Dont use

Firstly, if you pay by paypal the term Ashley madison will show up on your paypal account (you just need to click the link) and if you are unlucky like me your wife/husband will see it. That's the first complete lie they tell. Next they will ensure they can dip into your paypal account anytime, so make sure you go into the settings and turn off the reoccurring payments.
Then there is the fact that the site is a complete rip off. You need very deep pockets to find a data on this site. I regret every thinking of using this site. Its bull$#*!.

BEWARE of this website. After you join and pay your on your own. I cannot access the website and I cannot get anyone at Ashley Madison to fix the problem. Their customer service does not reply to requests for help. Save your money.

I looked into joining this site as a lot of favorable feedback about it. This maybe a true site but the Cost of this site is a total turn off so went no further. Not only do you have to pay for membership but you have to pay a lot of hard earned money for Credits to hold conversations with the users of this site. There are other sites out there a darn sight cheaper and better. This site is only for Professionals with money to burn and most of those are Obnoxious ( I am such a catch attitude) that I suggest you avoid unless of course you are a rich Stockbroker or Banker.

This website is good. User friendly quickly filters what I am looking for and directs me to the sites. But after 5-6 date I was not getting what I wanted :( then I found
datesforyou.org which by far exceeded my expectations. Guess what, everything was better than this and there were good and quality people for real. After 2 dates I found my hot cute girlfriend! :)

Like all adultery sites, there are a lot more men on there than women. But most of them behave downright rediculous so that weeds most of them out.

Many profiles are real, believe it or not. But there are a few fake ones. They are easy to spot though. If a woman looks to good to be true they are most likely fake.

I am only recommending AM because it simply doesn't suck as bad as all the other sites. Saphrina is a pretty good choice as well. But that's about it. All the other sites I've used sucked real bad.

I started an account less than 24 hours ago and I'm already suspended. I tried to appeal and I'll wait to see what comes of it. I'm an actual female (24) and I was in the middle of a conversation with a lovely gentleman when I got kicked out

I have used AM for approximately 6 months. I have met 2 women in person from the site, and had contact with a few more. It took me a bit to figure out how to message people cold and get a response back, for a while, I thought it was a big scam. I recently met the most insanely hot woman I have ever been with... and I have a pretty good self esteem. We have had the hottest 2 week fling I can imagine. They are out there, but if you aren't good with women... good luck. We discussed going exclusive... well... as exclusive as you get when having an affair! Thanks AM... I am now a believer!

I bought $50 worth of credit and then my account was suspended without any explanation or reason for suspension to my account. I emailed to them and there was no response. This is a site should be avoided. They take your money and they do not explain why they suspended your account.

Yes..." nothing good or even real... here: out of hundreds of messages I got there were:

Dozens of webcam girls (probably not even girls.) I was to pay in advance...

Webcam extortionists "we have you on video". Had to contact FBI cyber crime unit...

Safety pass sellers... "before we meet you need to buy this pass"

Girls with sudden money emergencies, they are, nicer, pretty, more elaborated, until they need a medication, book, tuition, etc on emergency basis, probably also some guy sitting in an indonesia IT shop...

One real girl... stood me up in our first non cyber date... and she was the best experience I had in AM!

I hav had sum luck on AM but also had long dry spells. Theres lots of good sites now, tonnes of them. Id recommend NoStringsAffair.com as the current best 1 but there r others 2, loads. No need to stay wit a site is it doesn't wrk after 3 mnths IMO. The affairs dating game is a buyers market lol]

I'm a female and signed up for this site out of curiousity. I immediately received about ten e-mails! I was shocked. I am single and was tempted, but then thought about it -- I think cheating is wrong and I have no wish to be "the other woman," nor do I want to break up anyone's marriage. I told them that I no longer wished to receive e-mails and to delete my information, but I am STILL getting e-mails from them.

Must say Im a big fan of these affairs sites that have been cropping up all over the place and AshleyMadison is another good example of how to do it right for customers. Its a lot better than Victoria Milan in my opinion in terms of site usability and only just falls behind NoStringsAffair.com in terms of numbers of people that appear in search results. Definitely a good site and when you mix it with one or two of the others you really discover why the internet is such an amazing invention global communication is one thing but who would have thought youd have a discreet way to meet other married people who actually want to have an affair in secret using just your computer or phone? We live in a golden age with the emergence of online dating and the best part is, my wife thinks Im researching our next boring beach vacation right now. Time to log in and find some fun this weekend I thinkbrilliant!

I joined AM after seeing an online advert claiming that there were women in my area looking for an affair. I joined and everything looked good n positive so I paid. Ive not had many replies yet and the only woman who seems interested in meeting up is over 60km away. Im trying Nostringsaffair.com to and having a bit more luck thank god, as I wouldnt be happy if I was getting nowhere for two subscriptions! If things dont improve on AM ill probably call it quits but hopefully things improve soon, trying to give it the benefit of the doubt as its a nice site.

I have been a member of AM for a few months and I have found most of it to be fake. Not only a blatant fake but a stupid one. The profiles of some women are ridiculous: 4' 5", 250 pounds. 6', 80 pounds. Just nonsense.
The object is to get you to buy credits. After you have used up all your credits with no responses, miraculously a woman has left you a message. Of course to retrieve the message you have to buy more credits.
Many of the women have photos which are obviously fake. The age or the body type don't fit. Not only that but many of the women are so attractive that they don't have to go on a dating site to find men.
If you're looking for a dating site to waste your time and money I suggest AM.

User beware, I gave this site a try, purchased credits and then suddenly I recieved a notice from PayPal stating I was being charged a monthly fee. I never gave authorization for monthly subscription. My experience, these sites are ALL scams. I did meet ladies and connected off site via txt only (suspicious) but I always felt as if they were being paid by AM to connect with men. Their phone number area code never matched from where they were calling and always lead to dead end. It's hard to explain but that was my experience.

I signed up to Ashley Madison last week after having a lot of luck using nostringsaffair.com. I like that ASH MAD pushes the discretion angle and of course, it's vital for me as a married guy (with kids... I know, I know!) in my late 30s. But you need more than that alone to keep me spending my hard earned cheese, especially when ive already got the Nostrings membership running. You need to see results and although its early days, im a bit disappointed at this point. So for me ive decided to keep going another few weeks to the end of my AM membership and then if nothing is happening ill exit and try something else as my second site (its supposed to be good to have at least two running at any time to boost chances so im looking for a second site). Will report back if anything changes, fingers crossed!

I've gotten laid by a few women on here. All of them were average looking or even below average. Thinking about a superhot bored MILF that wants to hookup with you? Forget it!

But you can still have a fun time. Most women aren't looking for love, they want to have sex. ASAP. They are so frustrated and bored. So that's good. I seriously don't know why so many guys can't get laid using this site. Maybe high expectations? Don't hunt after the superhot women. Unless you're very attractive you won't be lucky.

Ashleymadison has gotten me laid a few times and that means it's not worthless (like most other sites are IMHO). Also Saphrina is worth checking out. But basically the same story here: Hooked up a few times but most women are average looking and 40+.
