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!
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!
AM has a smart marketing and I admit that I like their campaigns. The product itself is overpriced for the huge amount of international fake profiles you will find browsing the member base.
It is a terrible shame that they have so many fake profiles that are set up just to keep the man spending money on messages that go nowhere. In 1 case I know very well of, a "woman's" profile was told that the messages would stop if she was not willing to take their contact to a free chat site. The "woman" then directed the man, a very close friend of mine, to a "profile verification site" which wanted his credit card details and a hefty monthly fee but on further investigation my friend found the profile verification site to be a bogus scam.
I have been on Ashley Madison's "Friends with Benefits" site for more than 2 months and can not yet say I have found a single genuine profile.
This is very disappointing because I am certain there are many profiles that are genuine but you just can't be sure. I think the best way to know is to, from the very first, ask the other party to chat with you on a free chat app of their choice. I can not see any reason for them not to be willing to do this if they are genuine.
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.
The site is only semi-legit. There are a lot of fake profiles and clusters of profiles in certain locations. As described by others, they use a token-based charge model and entice you to spend them quickly and often. Want to contact a person (that may be a fake)? 5 Credits. What to prioritize that message? 5 More credits. Want to do real-time chat? 30 credits. They tell you flat out that your profile will appear on page 90 of the search response unless you pony up another $30 per month. The other kicker is that a credit is not a dollar. A credit is $0.50 (at the introductory rate). Therefore that little get-to-know you message you send is $2.50 (or $5 if you want it sent priority). The women that are real people tend to get overwhelmed by all the horny guys and tend not to respond (positively or negatively). So you spend down your balance and get very little in return. The site is deceptive. I get chat requests the minute I log on from everywhere in the country except where I live. If you accept, there goes $15. I did not sign up to have sex chats with hookers or robots. Can you find someone on this site? I guess. I didn't. From my initial 100 credits I got only one real response and it was a rude negative. At least it was something...
$#*! I should just get da guys to chat with on here for real lol even the guys are fake everyone dat works as a chat actress there is writing positive review on here bull all lies
So disappointed on a high price dating site. If you want to try it do not use your credit card, buy yourself a prepaid, you won't regret it as much. Good luck!
Ashley Madison is the world's best known extra-marital affairs website. Most of its users are from Canada, USA and UK.
Sadly though it has recently been revealed that the site was hacked and millions of its members' details released publicly. Those members are rightly now concerned about their privacy.
To be honest, I always had an inclination that this may happen one day. I never really felt entirely safe using such a huge, popular site.
I personally prefer using smaller sites to find someone to have a discrete affair with. I just have a feeling that this kind of site is not such a significant target for hackers, willing to disclose someone's personal details. I tried quite a few of them and the one I really like was NoStringsAffair.com. There are plenty of members in my area and I had sex with a gorgeous woman I met on the site already! We have had our first date in a restaurant to get to know each other a little bit, but when we met up the second time we booked a room in a hotel and had the most amazing night;)
The great thing about NoStringsAffair.com is the 'no strings' aspect. We continued to have an affair and both of us were cool about it staying that way. We would just meet up and have sex together and no obligation to turn it into a serious relationship. Would recommend it.
Exactly that... April 27 2021
Cost me 120$ in "credits"to message 5 girls and every message needs credits to reply as well
FREE for girls tho and they also PHISH you in spending more credits
Not worth it for me but make your decision there are other sites
Tip for consumers:
avoid the PHISHING this site creates not real
Been a member of an on for 5 years. Nothing but scammers they pay women to get you to join and spend credits Do not waist you money. 15 this week all scammers and collet messages
AM is clearly a huge scam. Many of the profiles are fake, and their purpose is to get you to send messages and use up your credits so you will buy more. My advice, stay away.
I know most guys wonder if you can actually meet someone using Ashleymadison.com. Yes, this site works and you can find a hookup but you need to weed through a bunch of fake profiles, just like on any other extramarital affair site. But I was always fine using it and yes: There are real women. Most of them are average looking and it takes a little time to find them.
I know that most people will throw s#$ at this site but if you are married and looking for a discreet affair there are only two sites which will work, Saphrina.com and Ashleymadison.com. There are a lot more men than women and being a man you have to be okay with the competition.
The features are okay but the membership costs are a little pricey. You can buy credit packages and if I remember it correctly you will have to spend 5 credits to contact someone. This may be the main difference compared to Saphrina.com where you can message as many people as you like with your gold upgrade but on the other hand Ashleymadison.com also offer some kind of affair guarantee package. It may be worth checking it out.
That was my honest review This site can be for you if you are looking for a discreet affair and in my opinion it is one of the two sites which really worked, at least for me. Happy hunting.
AM had mixed results for me. It has been years since I used it so my review is from my experience about 4 years ago. I only talked with women within reasonable driving distance. While I had good conversations, it was very difficult to get them to meet. I understand that since the site promotes affairs and it is a risky proposition. I know some of the profiles were fakes/scammers but I did meet someone on the site so I know at least one was real! As with any dating/sex site, be careful and be skeptical, but be open enough to meet with genuine people.
One method I used to weed out fakers is to request a photo of them holding a sign with the current date and my profile name on it. If the picture does not look like all those awesome pics on their profile, then I moved on. One scammer sent a poorly photo shopped pic with a sign. I wished I kept it because it was so obviously a fake.
I have read the other reviews who keep recommending other sites. They all sound like they are representing the other sites so I don't give much credence to their reviews.
I am disgusted by what a TOTAL SCAM this site is. I'm a fairly attractive man, never had a problem getting laid but wanted to go on a site that not everyone else was on. The profiles are ALMOST ALL FAKE. They work for AM, they won't give you their number so you have to keep messaging them and keep buying credits. One girl suddenly told me she moved to Portland, and said she KNOWS she told me she was moving... well i looked at all my messages and, of course, she never did. After 2 months, the last girl actually gave me her number, agreed to meet me, said she was on her way driving to come over... she never arrived, never answered my text, and THEN DELETED HER PROFILE 2 HOURS LATER!... If anyone wants to sue this company for making false claims, i'm ALL IN... PEOPLE, THIS SITE IS A LIE!, IS A FAKE!, IS A TOTAL SCAM!... DO NOT JOIN, DO NOT GIVE THIS SCAM ARTIST A DIME OF YOUR MONEY AND MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID!
I HAVE SENT MANY LETTERS TO WOMEN ON THIS SITE WITH A 1% RESPONSE RATE I BELIEVE THAT MANY ARE FREE MEMBERS OR ARE HOOKERS USING THE SITE TO GET CLIENTS BUT I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSES EVEN THOUGH THE WOMEN I CORRESPOND WITH ARE ONLINE CONSTANTLY.ONE OF TWO THINGS IS OCCURRING.THE WOMEN ARE FAKE OR INCREDIBLY SELF CENTERED AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS PAID TO RESPOND TO THEM AND DESERVES AT LEAST A RESPONSE EVEN IF IT IS NEGATIVE!
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.
Very desappointed at my decision of joinning this stupid site... lost the money... and got contacted by fake profiles which some of them tried to guide me into another datting site and the others just made me waste my credits and no sex at all... that's right... NO SEX AT ALL... certanly the owner of the site is laughing his $#*! out cause he's earning every single penny of us men who use our $#*! heads to think... very desapointing...
Most people purely associate Ashley Madison with infidelity because sure it is known to be a website for extramarital affairs. But once you use it you will be surprised how many singles are looking for some kind of casual dating. I am one of those singles and I appreciate Ashley Madison for many reasons.
The biggest drawback might be that the membership is expensive and I see why a lot of people started using alternative websites for extramarital affairs, such as Saphrina, VM and so forth. And I don't blame them. Why would you pay more for similar results? Yes, and of course the hack. That was pretty bad for Ashley Madison.
Why did I continue to use it? As mentioned before I appreciate this site a lot. I just feel comfortable using it. That's it. I don't mind that it is a little more expensive, and I am single so I did not really mind the recent hack. If you don't trust Ashley Madison anymore there are some alternatives like Saphrina. But I will still use Ashley Madison for casual dating and this won't change.
I created a free account with AM to start, and marked a few profile favorites here and there to potentially follow up with just in case I decided to go all in. Discovered all my favorites were notified apparently, and sent me a message that I could only read if I bought AM tokens (I can already see where this is going), so I took the bait and purchased the cheapest package (and opted OUT of auto-renew/refill) just so I could view the messages. All the messages were eerily similar. That I should "send them a message, and they will decide if they're interested", and all insisted I send them a message, which cost AM tokens. I followed up and sent each one a message, and. Have not heard a thing since. I still have some tokens left, so I'm sure once I'm completely out, they will reply back at that point. Each of the responses worded so similar was a red flag (figured they'd at least make an effort to not make it so obvious), so that's all it took for me.
I've sent out a few messages to other users and didn't get a reply. Maybe those are real, or maybe they're also waiting until I run out of tokens to reply, so I'll need to make another purchase in order to view those messages. I'm thinking this sorta works like an affiliate, and most of these accounts are employees, or get a commission if you make a purchase. Either way. Proceed at your own risk, and you've been warned.
I simply would like to see owners and lawyers of Assley Madisin in orange jumpsuits kneeling with ISIL and a machete. Put them and this site out of their scamming misery. They will have their judgement day ripping people off like they do. Sorry that I won't be meeting them in hell!
Tip for consumers:
Beware and do not give them your credit card. Fraudulent site and I hope a class action lawsuit happens as I will join in
Beware of carefully executed extortions by employees of James D Mynster of 109 Water, Hampton, VA. Skype videos are captured and blackmail is attempted. AVOID Skype sessions or realize they are being recorded. Mynster's operation is a VOIP data center using girls with Enflick accounts.
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.

Men looking for an online affair, Sugar Daddies, and people who want an affair
What a scam! I thought I would try this because it is one of the few site's I have not tried yet and it was rated #1. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you about my experience on the dating site because as soon as I created my account, my account got SUSPENDED! I don't know why it was automatically suspended, I didn't even get a chance to browse anyone's profile since I didn't even get pass the "Make an Account" page! I'm a 30 year old woman and now I am a very confused 30 year old woman. I am just going back to another site I used before. NEVER USE THIS SITE! Luckily I did not pay for a subscription...
I like it! Been using this with nostringsaffair.com and having a lot of fun so far. Using them both helps me to be more active and get more replies so no complaints really! Cheers!
Meet bored men & lonely housewives. Define your experience, and live life to the fullest! Life is short. Have an affair.?
