Ashley Madison

Who every created apps like these needs to be shot in the $#*!ing face. 5 TO 10 $$$ to send a fake person a message, so $#*!ing stupid. $#*! YOU! Waste of my time.

Several months after I stopped my enrollment in Ashley Madison, they started debt itinerary my account again. Watch your account these people are villains.

That site is garbage and super expensive with 99% of thé profile There are fake. Keep your money Because i can guarantee you that you will be disappointed 100%. Good luck!

I received 'need to pay to read' messages while I was still writing my profile and have not even uploaded a picture yet... Women on this site must be desperate, LOL

Lots of people complaining about scammers on here...

Duhhhh...

Same on any site and Craigs List too.

This is still the Internet we are talking about here...

You just need to be on the site long enough to see the BS and weed your way through it.

Stay away from the profiles that...

1. Have an actual photo for the whole world to see. Any married woman seeing a fling should be discreet. So one that post here face publicly is probably a scam.

2. Have no photos whatsoever listed in their "private showcase". Either a scammer or not serious.

3. Does not write up what they are looking for in their own words. When you fill out a profile you can check a bunch of boxes and write free form what you are looking for. If a woman does not take the time to write something in their own words then she is probably a scammer or not serious.

Simply DO NOT pursue and spend credits on any profile like I've mentioned above and you will at least be in the ballpark now.

And... follow these rules as well when you create your own profile.

Does not mean you are going to get responses though... that is all still personally up to who you are seeking.

I've personally had mixed results here... but indeed met some very nice ladies looking for exactly what I was looking for.

I was drawn to this site in the hope that it would be more professional than the other sites which have serious scammers lurking as genuine members looking for partners.
This site too has a similar problem, and still worse that it is more global which kind of exacerbates those problems, and kind of defeats the object too for those who are not in search of porn pen pals.
However for me the real reason why I cannot contemplate continued membership is the exorbitant ongoing charges to use the essential site features such as messaging. These end up costing a fortune (if you are a man that is) because access to features is actually discriminatory to men given that women can message men free, but not the other way round.
It's exactly like picking up phone calls from vaguely potential partners who may be scammers, and having to pay collect for the privilege.
Very useful and virtually free though if you're operating as a female prostitute.
Therefore I think it's a business essentially based on the exploitation of men, sad or otherwise and served no purpose for me in search of a genuine partner.
Having then had to pay a further £15 to have my profile removed from the site in order for it to be unavailable to the site portfolio really did cause my blood to boil.
I would advise anyone in the UK in seach of "dating" such as myself to steer well clear and go to a reputable dating agency or one of the UK based web sites which are not faultless but association members. I would offer the same advice to those in search of "short term" relations to do te same with an added note of caution regarding scammers.

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...

In a weak moment I ignored my good sense and signed myself up to be done over by Ashley Madison. I probably deserved it. Please learn from my experience.

Most of the profiles are fakes or prostitutes and scammers. I got many messages from Russian scammers and prostitutes at clock work intervals (every 15 minutes or so on average when online). It would be easy to blow your credit messaging these people if you didn't recognise them. The few real women listed are unresponsive because they are already inundated with messages from the many men who make up the vast majority of users.

When I realised with considerable self disgust what I had fallen for I decided to close my account. Ashley Madison added insult to injury by gouging an exit fee just to close my account! They extorted extra money from me to "remove all traces" of my activities. Of course I'll just have to take them at their word that they did so. It felt like blackmail and just a little bit rapey too. You got me once Ashley Madison but what you bought from me is a lot of bad press.

With competition from Tinder and the like this business is circling the drain anyway and most deservedly so.

This site claims to have the best response site, and to connect you with real people looking for affairs. After joining and reaching out to several members the first 2 weeks or so, I received some messages. Then after trying to further those conversations, it became apparent that the "person" wasn't real or was an avatar posing for the real person in the photo! They don't answer your questions, they don't acknowledge what you're saying; and if you actually read the "terms and conditions" when you join; THEY ADMIT THEY USE FAKE OR ROBOTIC ACTORS TO ENGAGE YOU, FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES! What a croc of $#*!! I'm so tired of fake dating sites! God! Don't waste your money!

This is a huge waste of time and money. Not one person is real here. Only scammers and bots making new charges to perpetuate a really crappy worthless site

I agree with all the reviews below. Ashley Madison has some serious problems. I do not think "online dating" is a good description of the ridiculous things they do.

The whole site is a scam. Just google Ashley madison scam and you'll find out all about it. And even if it was legit it's totally morally reprehensible anyway.

None of the profiles are real. My guess is AM creates fake profiles to scam you on buying credits. Don't waste your time or money. I found that AFF is the same scam.

Hi girls, I'm a fairly attractive woman who has spent the last 5 or 6 months on the AM website. On and off it really. Be warned, a lot of guys on that site will not be borthered about even getting to find out about you, straight down to the sex talk (I guess if you like that then fine). But what shocked me is that most guys would sleep with anything! I have a friend who also signed up, her personality rocks but physically she is very very large with dental problems and still a lot of guys would go there. In the end myself I met 3 guys off of the site. I refuse to meet any more. The first one was single and met me for one drink for an hour then left (must have been doing his rounds of women) so basically didn't have the time or day. The second guy was very very attractive and was hard to resist but again seemed to want to rush me to a hotel after one drink. The third and last guy I ended up seeing for about 2 or 3 months. Lovely guy but seemed to just use me while he was having girlfriend problems and when it seemed they were better he disappeared on me. This is just a warning to all you women that the AM site seems to be very toxic in my opinion, why would you want to meet up with men who are just totally fake? Maybe I'm a fool for trying it out. Men- I really do feel sorry for you if you are desperate enough to sleep with anything with a pulse or someone which isn't your type...

Yes you can meet ladies on here but be prepared to get ripped off a few times by AM in the process. They nickle and dime you for everything. Some examples, they automatically set up priority messages on your profile. The charge is now "7 Credits" to send a message plus "5 credits" for the priority. BTW, priority messages are useless, a lady will either reply or not reply and a priority message has nothing to do with that. Another rip off they do is the collect message thing. It is 5 credits to accept a collect message and another 7 credits to reply to it. If you get a collect message just pull up there profile and send a message to that person, don't accept the collect message, you can ask them what the collect message said.

Now here is the big problem with AM, they encourage prostitution by allowing so called "sugar babies" to solicit men. It really is a waste of money to contact them and yes "sugar babies" is just another word for hookers. Oh and the chat function is charges as well. If you want my advice as a big user for quite a few years of AM, don't waste your money. By far they are behind in the times and there platform is crap. Other adult sites have just as many married ladies of there as AM does and you get memberships at a fraction of the cost AM charges. A membership gives you unlimited access to everything, including chat, unlimited messages etc.

As one of the other reviewers had stated, this site is a complete scam and needs to be brought under a class action suit. A revolving door of fake profiles with unknown entities claiming to be women. 99% of the pictures that were provided I scanned the internet to validate using another online service. Almost every one of them were identified as being fake, pornstars, fitness pros, bloggers, journalists, chefs. And a lot of the pictures were posted on multiple sites for things like escort service in the UK, Twitter, etc. The scammers are obviously pulling bulk pictures from the internet. Most claimed to live in one place but then when you chat with them they say they're actually someplace else. Many claim to be in another country, and you can tell when the chat starts to lean towards them asking for money to help them come to your country that it's a scam. One user claimed to be a masseuse that was using AM to obtain business. I figured it was a robbery scam, with you naked on a massage table. The one woman I talk to on the phone sounded like an Asian man trying to disguise his voice to sound feminine. He/she claimed to be Polish and that was the reason for the weird accent. Their accent was definitely Asian. Several profiles claimed to be women but when they sent pictures they're obviously transvestites. When I called them out they then confirmed. Bottom line, Ashley Madison is now one of the biggest catfish ponds on the internet. 99% posers from my experience. Save your money and go out and buy a couple drinks for yourself. You'll be happier.

I posted here earlier, but one point needs to be reiterated: Nearly every positive review of Ashley Madison is almost surely a fraud. There are in fact quite a few sites with a long string of glowing reviews. At married-dating-guide.com, for one, there are currently 75 of them. You might wonder if so many reviews could all be fakes. Well, yes, they all could be. And are. It is easier than you might imagine for Ashley Madison to have the women whose fake profiles appear on the site spend an hour or two putting positive Ashley Madison reviews every place such reviews can be found using Google search. As for 35 million subscribers, this only attests to the huge number of men who have been scammed. My guess is that 35 million figure has experienced drop-offs of 34.99 million. Face it, guys: We are all suckers for any piece of $#*! that comes along. We want to believe in the worst way that some of these Ashley girls are for real. I wrote a dozen letters to one of them myself before I could admit that I was in denial. But I was. And no quantity of positive Ashley Madison reviews can refute the fraud that I observed for myself.

I paid 68 dollars and didn't even get a response from any one I messaged. And i looked to see if anyone e even viewed my profile. Well just so you know it's a rip off total rip off and I wouldn't recommend this site to no one. All the profiles are fake and all the messages do is take your your tokens so you but more. So take my advice like I should have from all the other guys who posted on this site DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! SCAM and it's pitiful to take money this way and this site and company should be ashamed of what they are doing!

As a newcomer to the world of infidelity dating sites, I'm trying a few for a month each and then ill decide which 1 if any I want to stay a member of. So far ive only tried one other site called nostringsaffair.com and rated it at 9/10.
Ashley Madison is probably the most famous site for finding extra marital relations. It's well known for its publicity stunts and has probably had more news coverage over the past few years than any other dating site, affairs or non affairs!
For me, the site always seems to get a bad name but ive found it to be pretty good. The site takes a couple of minutes to join. It claims to have over 47 million members and that may be true, but all I care about is how many are in Oxford and how many of them are female! Judging by my searches over the course of the month, there are a fairly high number of women near me and once I add the London area to my search that goes up massively.
It's easy to pay and start sending out messages. I've had a couple of replies and one quite long conversation with a married woman in Norwich. I'm sure she's real and we talked a little about meeting up, but she seems to be one of those dames that likes to keep a guy waiting unfortunately.
Overall, I'd say that AM gets a 8/10 for me. I expected it to be less secure and more spammy but it's actually no worse than the mainstream dating sites for that. I'd say im pleasantly surprised in the end and it continues a good start to my infidelity reviews!

99% of the girls wanted me ( a man) to go to another site and get a " date safe" id- and you needed to pay for this.

Always same approach- girl likes you, messages you- asks to email her on yahoo gmail. Then she send pics of her- tells you she lives near you and wants to meet... then you have to get a "membership ID'" so shes safe on the date. WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME AND $$$$$

Stay away from this scam!

Ok I just read some of the review (mostly men) I've been on AM since 2013 and I'm a Female, here is my view about AM men, yes I've heard lots of women's adds are fake there and guys are complaining about scam, which is not really nice of website, but GUYS do you know what is your problem not meeting anyone? When real women, whose looking for real relationship, not looking for SUGAR DADDY and begging you not to sent nude pics and you still do, when you see her pics and ignoring immediately just because she does not looks like a Victoria's Secret model or Barbie Doll, instead to be a GENTLEMEN and kindly say "I'm sorry you are not my type" no you are blocking her out. I can go on and on and on how you guys are acting there. So my suggestion as a WOMEN and REAL LADY, if you really are looking for human being and not a Runway Model, before you ask for heavenly perfection in women, take a good look in mirror and ask yourself question, ARE YOU PERFECT?

I've been on AM for many years, and from the sidelines, have been able to see the site change into the BS it is today (in 2015). There are very, very few 'actual' women on the site. The majority of women are hookers, strippers or fabricated by AM (ghost profiles - meaning you can capture an image and search the internet only to find the same 'fake' woman on escort listings, porn promos, etc).
This site has eroded from its original intent and has eroded to just another escort platform. SAVE YOUR MONEY - THIS ISNT THE SITE IT ONCE WAS.

I was looking for a relationship outsite my marriage and I used many extramarital sites, I think I 've used almost all of them starting from AffairLink to AshleyMadison to LonelyHousewives to Saphrina to SweetDiscreet to xxxMatch. I was very frustrated with most of them.

I was involved with a real woman on AshleyMadison and was having a great time. I've met several women on Saphrina and I am still currently involved with one of them. I had a chat with a women on AffairLink but she was too far away to meet up with.

AshleyMadison was one of the sites which actually worked. Be aware that it takes some money because if you really want to hook up it will cost you more than just the membership. You need to get a hotel room. It is up to you to split the hotel bills though.

There were some dubious contacts on AshleyMadison. Just watch out and sort through them.

Made the profile yesterday, Had a date literally today, went to see the details and my whole profile is gone and it won't tell me why nor can I even contact tech support DURING THE DAY. It made me miss my first date today with someone I REALLY liked and won't even tell me why it deleted my profile. I've been doing this lifestyle for years and avoided AM cause the media coverage but now I know the media was right. Ashley Madison is terrible and their tech support doesn't even exist. Just look up another site rather than even trying with Ashley Madison.
