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!
Site is full of scammers! A lot of contacts were far out of town. Made contact with one, Millerz1, who claimed to be from Montreal, then claimed "she" was a wine merchant based in Los Angeles! Turned out to be a bitcoin fraudster. Exercise great caution using this site.

Tip for consumers:
ONLY LOSER,S USE PROSTUTES ON DATING SITES
I've been using Ashley Madison (AM) for about three weeks now. I live in a moderate sized city and I'm a man seeking a woman. Below are the statistics of efforts.
- Sent messages to 58 different women who live in my area.
- Got replies from four. One of the women initiated contact with me. No responses from the other 54.
- Of the four, one I'm fairly certain was a bot. Got a single rather generically worded response and no other responses.
- One I believe was a scammer so I broke contact with her.
- One seemed legit but we weren't able to advance things very far.
- The one who initiated contact was quite nice but we weren't able to advance things as much as I would have liked. This obviously isn't the fault of AM.
The short version: not a very good success rate. Considering each message costs credits this is an exceptionally expensive way to meet women and odds are you won't actually meet one in person.
The vast majority of the woman profiles appear to either be defunct or are likely fake profiles designed to make the number of women in your area seem higher than it actually is. And to of course cost you expensive credits to message them. Most profiles have no pics and only a minimal amount of information.
I was curious and made a fake woman profile with information similar to my legitimate profile. Same age, interests, and location. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there seem to be many more male profiles than there are female profiles. Furthermore, the vast majority of the male profiles look to be legitimate. They have lots of information including complete bios and photographs. They also seem to be more active. I'm estimating that there are perhaps at least 5 men to every 1 woman. The actual ratio is perhaps much higher than this when factoring in the fake and inactive female profiles. The odds are very much staked against the male users.
Based on my experience I am highly suspicious of AM's claims that it has more female users than male users. When reading other reviews on AM other male users have reported experiences very similar my own.
My advice: if you are a man seeking a woman stay away from AM. There may be a slim chance that you will meet a lady. But ladies seem to be very few and far between here. Your competition will be stiff. And AM will fleece your credit card dearly. If you are a lady, I suspect you will have many options and AM won't cost you a thing.
Absolutely horrible site. Very costly for men to use. Many many many fake profiles. And just as many scammers! I'm single and thought I'd try it. Nothing but scammers/extortion tactics. Do not sign up for membership. A total scam through and through. I wish I could leave ZERO stars.
Tip for consumers:
Huge waste of time, effort, money etc. I wish there was a zero star rating. That's what I would give them. One woman tried to blackmail me. I'm single so I didn't have anything to worry about but the criminal activity on that site is rampant.

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.

I have been on Ashley Madison since October 2019.
Tim F.'s review is 100%.
Received a reply to a message. Then, after a couple messages back and forth. She admitted that she never sent the initial replay!
I've heard every excuse possible. Trying to use up credits and/or send funds all over the world.
Take your chances!
Tip for consumers:
Waste of time after over 4 years of being on the site.
Products used:
Dating site.
There are so many fake profiles on Ashley Madison.
I have forward several to their review process and some then disappear just to get reposted with a couple minor changes.
The fake profiles are even posted on several different locations with just about identical content.
AM obviously have no review procedure for new listings.
Be very selective of which profiles you waste your credits on. I have managed to be refunded some. But, not all for sending to fake profiles. And I have been on this site for about 18 months.
If you open a new profile, you will be inundated with fake messages to waste you credits, try sending you to other fake sites in which to harvest your information and charge your credit card.
Updated July 4,2022
I always suspected that AM was sending out fake messages so they could sell more credits. Now, last week I received a message from a prospective girl. I sent a reply and she writes back that she never sent a message!
I've been on the site for several years now and yet have to make one connection. Where I've been on another site and have had three connections. One going on for a year and two going on the six months.
AM isn't worth the time, effort or money.
Good luck!
Tip for consumers:
Skip this site. Useless!!!
This by far is worse site nothing but scam girls from Europe and Russia go figure scam legit people don't waste your time you be ask to go to what's up with crazy area code from liberal state like California be careful then will ask you to open account with Skype ask for money spoke with customer service the don't care from different countries as well not in USA don't do it
Tip for consumers:
I explain everything on review
This site has become nothing but AI bot made fake profiles. They are easy to spot if you know what to look for, Guys don't waste your money chatting with a computer! They often include pics of gorgeous woman that would have no reason to be on AM.
Less and less for your money. Just now started limited winks to 3 a day when it was unlimited. This is without notifying current subscribing clients in any shape or form. This should be investigated by the FTC!
Don't forget just a short time ago they allowed themselves to be hacked and lost all your personal data to people who published it online.
It's like all the rest of the BS Dating sites, all they do is play you along and screw you out of more and more money. Total Fraud! You would have better luck at a local bar and you will spend far less money.
I entered the site once and I made the mistake to enter twice. My geo location is Europe. Scam #1. The fee to buy credits so you can send message is fake. When you enter the pay page the fee is augmented with a hidden Mobile Activation fee (19.99€). Scam#2. Almost 99% of the profiles are fake and I received (intentionally) messages from non-existing persons. Scam#3. Anytime I send a reply message to a what appeared as person and added my email, I was charged by losing credits but the mail was never delivered. These are my real life experience so I prevented others of not entering in this site at all.
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this particular site
Fake profiles and fake emails to get you to keep hanging on.

Tip for consumers:
Its a scam.
I signed up for ash mad like 3 times bought 5 times 50 credits and I got a total of 3 responses back all 3 wanted to talk on Google or snap all pretty and pretended to wanna meet but when it was d day no one showed up or had excuses and to top it all off all 3 wanted money from me so you know it's scammers sorry but your site really sucks
This was reported back in June and it's still up. This is just the more obvious one. They have MANY women profiles that are 4ft 8 and 98lbs or 5"10 and 110 pds. I bet most men don't even pay attention to that when they write these people.
Tip for consumers:
You write profiles that disappear in a day or two--you get no response, they don't refund $$.
Now they charge to access PRIVATE PHOTOS-that used to be a great way to detect scammers--they often used model pics. It's a GRIFT and they ASHLEY are one of the biggest grifters there.
I ran two profiles on here, each had a blurred photo of an early 50's male. I was in more demand than water in hell. In 4 days, I got about 40 women interested in me. They often sent the generic greeting, without looking at my profile, but a fair number -1/3 sent request to see my album. They all had these things in common: profiles with no text or a heading of 'HELLO", a few had a 3 word blurb or so, about 2/3 of them were from 1000 miles away, or more. I was getting them from Germany, London, S. Dakota, etc. Only 6 were suppose to be in the LOs Angeles metro. They also were often way off on height and weight, 4ft8 and 70 lbs, 5'8 and 88 lbs, or 5'7 or so and well over 220, that one seems almost believable for online dating. Also many profiles the age didn't match the face--see pic.
In conclusion, it's hard to distinguish Ashley employed fraudsters from just plain fraudsters. A profile with no pictures still get about 10 women wanting to interact. How ya going to prove someone is fraud when you spend $5 to contact them and they never respond or send you a sentence that basically repeats your question. I wasn't willing to pony up $35 this time so, I don't know how they would interact. I have got a 9 rate before and found them to be about as verbal as a $#*!. Example: Are you overwhelmed with men? 'NO I have not overwhelmed with men". I sent that one 22 more emails about Ashley and fraud, and they never blocked me. That's HIGHLY suspicious, considering they were supposed to be online everyday.

A V O I D
Review all the one star reviews and I experienced most of it too. Something's additional to this scam site is; their female scammers literally cost you money to find out if they're scammers. 90% are. Three weeks on here and spent $300 no meetings and no messages in Orange County. Woman will send "collect messages you pay for 5 credit and 9 out of 10 times, it was them literally telling me they're not interested. Also, cust service sent me a contract paragraph about their refund policy and said, it was my fault I messaged fake profiles on their site. Profiles would disappear after spending 6-12 credits to respond to fake profiles. If they're all fake, how should I know what fake looks like.
Tip for consumers:
No refund option after wasting $300
Very unfortunately, im writing this. First it cost you around 5 $ for each message you are sending...imagine. Great place if you want to spend your money...Second you even wonder if the profile are real...because you stop getting answer after you message someone...don t do the same mistake as,e...please stay away from ashley madison...enjoy life!
Tip for consumers:
Please avoid at all cost
I am positive there is not one real woman on Ashley Madison. Not one! I live in NYC, with hundreds of profiles, and all of them are fake.
This is not a monthly service. You have to buy credits and spend those credits on each new woman you contact. Problem is they never write back. Ever. Send a free canned message to see if they're interested and some of them will respond with their own canned message. But then not write you back when you send a personal message. Essentially tricking you. Again. Every time.
By the way, near the end of my run, they started charging credits for those "free" canned messages too.
This site exists to get desperate men to throw away their money into a black hole. It's like the casino. No matter how long your losing streak, you're invested, maybe a little stubborn, and won't give up. So don't even start. Do not give them a penny. You want to meet women? Go to a bar.
Honestly. How are sites like this even legal?
This is full of bots posing as women. They double charged my credit card and have no answered a single email request to correct. I actually asked for my money back within hours of signing up for the site because it was so painfully obvious that it was a fake sight. I have been ignored for weeks now. So now I'm letting my credit card company battle Ashley Madison. This will be a huge mistake. Stick with reputable sites such as Match.com or even Plenty of Fish for free.
Tip for consumers:
Stay far away. Don’t waste your time.
Products used:
Multiple month membership. But the site is fake. 100% fake.
Nothing but boys and trolls, their customer service demanding more money to get your refund - a $150 dollar refund they repeatedly wanted me to pay $129 then another $150 to get a refund of $150 and the bot put this in writing. Not to mention the profiles are complete scams. CNN needs to do another story and Ashley Maddison will bring in new CEO and state they will make changes - this needs to be a certified class action suit. I am now forced to sue in small claims court and have them come up and defend - Priceless organized crime at its best.
Tip for consumers:
Stay away it is a scam of blackmail
Do not waste a penny on this site. I did not purchase. When i register for a site like this and i am flooded with young girls inquiries, i know they are fake. You can put the worst photo ever taken yet loads of beautiful girls want to chat. They are auto generated, don't be a sucker. It's easy to see how fake these sites are for free. I write this hoping to save people who do not know better money and anguish. You can see the screenshot. She is dying to meet a 70 year old man with a terrible profile photo?
All i can say is " thank god I didn't fall for the scam and buy credits"
Hundreds of winks and " collect mail". I've spent enough time on dating sites to know this is not normal behaviour. I just don't get that sort of attention.
Mail is free for women, why are they all sending "collect" mail?
And why are 99% of the women who pretend to want to talk to me from the U.S.? I live in Canada.
Just another site to make guys think with their $#*! and whip out their wallet.
Tip for consumers:
I miss the good old days when dating sites had real women that ignored me instead of this business of fake women flooding me.
A money pit! AshleyMadison can't be trusted. Don't go anywhere near this scam! It's full of junk and fake profiles. Nothing ever happens there, you just go round and round in circles talking to bots and wasting your money. It is totally phony and fraudulent. Just search elsewhere!
I have been on this app for over 6 months now! Beware, from my experience most profiles are bots or scammers! Have not have one date! So many crypto scammers or guys from Nigeria! I'm deleting this time waster! Can anyone recommend a really good dating/ hookup app?
Tip for consumers:
Don’t both to join, try another dating/ sugar daddy app! This one is full of bots and scammers!!
Joined AshleyMadison last month and nothing special to report yet. Will keep trying as I had a similar thing on Nostringsaffair.com and then all of a sudden got lucky twice in a week with a couple of very nice married women. Hopefully patience will pay off here too, if not ill be cancelling.
I tried ash mad because it's the one everyone knows and I always prefer going for well known brands when trying something new. It's not like you can take chances in this game! It's a nice site and I had some x rated chats but ive failed to hit the jackpot. From speaking to people its clear my opinion is the same as most lots of us are interested in a 'bit on the side' but finding a discreet place to arrange the fun stuff is like finding a needle in a haystack! I'm moving on to Nostringsaffair.com next as ive heard from the horses mouth that it genuinely works, would be nice as im starting to think this search will never end.
