“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!

It is okay, it seems like there are some real profiles and some fake ones. Another good alternative is XratedSingles.com

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this site all together,

Be careful. Here is some boilerplate I recommend.

****DIRE WARNING TO ASHLEY MADISON SCAMMERS**** I am a sweet, gentle man :) :). ... BUT BE WARNED: I am not a mark. I cannot be outed. I will not be ripped off. I won't be entrapped. I am smart, experienced, cautious, and I have a nasty lawyer who will eat your liver. You will not scam me. Do we understand each other? Do we? I won't click on fishy links you send me to 'authenticate me' and steal my identity and money. Move ON, I urge you - to the dimwitted, naive marks - the sex-starved, desperate idiots who think with their groins. I AM NOT ONE OF THEM. This is your warning. If you try anything on me that is illegal, in the name of all that is holy, I will prosecute you from here to the Kuiper Belt and back, and I will sue you in the State of Texas or wherever you are. If it crosses state lines... oh dear 'ladies'... then $#*! gets REAL. I will get the FBI involved. You don't want a federal wire fraud charge snowflakes. Do not trifle with me, scammers. It is a bad play for you today and for many tomorrows. Thank you! I wish you the worst of luck in what you do :) COMMUNICATION ENDED*****

Yes there are some real women on here and it takes buying credits and good emailing to get them to respond. As a guy, I can say you can get some good results if you keep trying.

But there are many annoying things... when you buy credits, they try to so hard to add 19.99 so you can do mobile... yet you can at least look at profiles via mobile ( as a guy) if you start with a free account. You can uncheck that option at checkout of you want to try this out, it takes some effort to uncheck it though. Geez AM, you guys are that greedy?

Also, making a reply is always checked off... and will always cost you credits. Yes maybe you do that once, but again it is an easy way to eat thru credits as a guy if you are not aware. Again, uncheck the box

Finally, all the obviously fake profiles... many that seem to be created by AM themselves. What gives it away is the lack of detail, unrealistic photo, and using the same locations again and again

Then I did my own test. I created a female profile, added some basic description and a basic female photo from the internet. I then logged into my real account as a guy and simply added this female profile I CREATED to my favorites list.

A day later, yo and behold, I received a message from this female profile stating there was interest and I should contact her. This message was CREATED by AM and their system as I did not write it. So not only do they create profiles, they also send messages that try to entice. I'm sure they will deny all this but I saw enough by creating my own test case. Frankly that's pure BS on their part.

Can you find a desiring woman? Sure... but it may cost you quite a bit in credits

As a guy wondering if this site is worth a $49 investment, I have read many reviews here. Here is my problem. Are you 50+ years old and 50+ pounds overweight and expect to be meeting hot 25 year old's here? What city are you in? These details and more make a huge difference as to what you're going to be able to find. I've done well over the years on Craigslist and Tinder meeting hot chicks, and I'm a 48 year old HWP balding dude with not a whole lot of game. I still think after reading up on these reviews that $49 may be worth responding to all the emails that fill my inbox after just a couple of days, but I digress. I live in Austin, TX. There are a TON of hot, available women here that are either attached or not. I think a lot of guys on sites like these are similar to me; they are not married, just looking to meet a fwb for an ongoing thing and/or nsa for a one time hook up and are not necessarily looking for someone who is married or attached. Someone who is not going to fall for you and start talking about leaving their husband/boyfriend, whatever. I have lost count of how many times that has happened to me via CL or Tinder, even though I've always been very clear about only being in this for a fwb/nsa type arrangement.
That's why it's difficult to read these bad reviews and make an informed decision. If the guys writing these are older (40+), fat, balding, boring, married men... I get why they are not going to be hooking up much here. I also appreciate all the info on how Ashley Madison obviously $#*!s men over by getting hot women to engage men for free accounts, the ridiculous $12.50 for 30 minutes of chat, the way they keep charging men's credit cards, etc. The way to avoid the later is do the gift card deal.
I saw an episode of Amy Schumer the other day and she had the $#*! that created this website on as a guest bragging about how it's a billion dollar company now. And yet they can't even respond to all the bad reviews here?!?!? That say's a lot! I'm still not sure if they are going to get the $49 out of me, but even if that $49 gets me just one hookup or a short lived fwb with a hot chick that isn't a total psycho, it's a win win for me.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

This site is a rip when it comes to a woman looking for a man. It suspends your account before you have time to even set it up. SMH rip

First off, they OVER charge you. And the women that do contact you are always under 30 and are WEBCAM girls trying to get you to pay them to watch them. This site is GARBAGE, GARBAGE, GARBAGE!

AM is a complete scam. This is cleverly designed to make sure you spend at least $50-100 before they actually let you connect with real people. Its is vey well done (these guys are smart but totally unethical) to take your money. Most profiles are fake and run by employees just to get you to email them to spend credits. You will be very lucky to find a real woman looking to hook-up in the first few weeks on the site. I closely observed 3-4 'favorites' I had in my list and they were obviously fake, since they were on the site almost 24/7 and no real person would do that (its just different employees using the same account to keep threads going). The email conversations with them go nowhere. When a 'real' woman interested in you does contact you it is easy to tell since they have something interesting to say (the fake ones will ask stupid questions like "are you on your computer now" looking for you to reply to burn credits or burn chat time. Every email you send costs money, even replies to an existing thread. Another tactic they use is to delay email responses for about 12 hours unless you pay for the 'priority man' feature. Again, very clever anxiety driving tactic they design in. I also noticed once that mail I sent to a person never got delivered and also never was shown in my 'sent' box (this was verified since that person was real and replied to a subsequent note). Also if you delete your profile it costs $19 (deactivating $0 but then you are on the site forever). If you spend the big bucks for their $250 affair guarantee, watch out. They claim money back if you dont score, but if you attempt to claim it, they send a physical check to your home address (knowing full well that any attached man would never do that). You are better off taking $100-200 and lighting it on fire in the driveway. Marketing geniuses... complete scroundrels very good at taking your money. I eventually did meet women but not until hititng the ~$100 threshold. Gee, then the fake women have been figured out and ignored and my search results just kept getting better. Amazing how that works. All by design. (I design software for a living)
