“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!

New member only a few days and I have not been happy so far. I am an attractive guy and have written up a very appealing profile yet there has not been any response to me putting myself out there to some of these women. I am starting to think that at least many of these profiles are fake or old and out of date. It is also very expensive to contact these women and to be honest lots of these women are fat, spoiled selfish divas or skinny girls on drugs. Customer service seems to be plugged with cob webs and I can't get through. I am really wondering who is on the other end of this service. They seem to be taking advantage of males with little if anything to offer.

The price they charge, the minimum price, is way too overpriced. 1/10 are real, true women. Complete rip-off. Avoid this site. Any other top dating sites are better than this one. A very poor functionality on the app/site and support is a complete joke. One could guess that the support employee(s) are too busy creating fake profiles. Not to mention your normal catfish and people that want you to "send photos" through the chat feature which serves one purpose, to take your "credits" that you use for chatting with real people. If someone wants to see your pictures, you profile picture and the link embedded takes you right to it. Seems obvious this is all a cash grab for this poorly operated company. Just stay away from it.

If u don't wanna pay a girl, try AdultsFun.club I wanted a girl who would want me for real and I found her there among multitudes of other pretty girls seeking for love and passion. As for AshleyMadison, it's nothing less than prostitution thinly disguised as dating service for married. All the women I talked to wanted me to pay them for a date (and for sex). AshleyMadison is not natural. There are easier and less expensive ways to quench that erotic thirst. If you want something more adventurous AshleyMadison won't help: things are simple there: you pay the woman and maybe you will have sex ( if she is not a scammer).

I know that many male users prefer Saphrina.com but as a woman: AshleyMadison.com is simply the best. There are many handsome and intelligent gentlemen. I have been using this site for two years and I simply love it!

Very disappointing, Total rip off you can spend all of your money in just an hour to use their so called "Affair Guarantee" membership. The Poorest and the rudest customer service. Most of the members are fake and will direct you to talk to their Private Phone numbers and email address

Tip for consumers:
I was ripped off, i will advise not to sign up, better will be to give yourself a nice treat with the money you are being ripped

This site is packed with some very cold women who must believe they have a golden $#*!. Return emails are rare and more often as not, the rejection will come with little or no explanation. I am very polite and try to act like a gentlemen and all I expect in return is a little courtesy. I may not be the handsomest man or the cleverest but there is no need to be rude. Perhaps the women on this site prefer to be treated like dirt. BTW, the one star is for the members of AM not AM itself.

First of all online dating takes effort no matter what kind of site your on typical dating or something a bit more specialist like fitness dating or whatever. So you can imagine what trying to meet a married person who understands and relates to me (also a married person) is like. I tried nostringsaffair.com and was amazed how well I did and then I decided to join Ashley Madison as well. It's not easy, even in a fairly big city like newcastle. AM has a lot of female members but I can go ages without getting a reply sometimes, although I go in to it knowing thats the way it can be sometimes. It's just the nature of the beast im afraid.

After what happened in 2015 affairs sites have changed. I tried some of the other sites while ago and it just didnt feel secure enough for me. I decided to follow some recommendations here and gave NoStringsAffairs.com a try since then as its clear from their messaging that they put data security first. So far so good, but still can't trust this kind of sites :(

I am a male, so had to pay $75 to start an account. I posted real pics and some private pics. I quickly blew threw the $75 in messages. ($; 5 credits per message) After a couple of months I realized that probably 98% of women profiles are fake. The other 2% are shaved arangatangs that weigh over 300 lbs.So, as of 2020 you would be better off spending your money on literally anything else than Ashley Madison. Let's face it, why would a smoking hot woman need a dating site.

Tip for consumers:
Don't

Worst site ever. Full of scammers just want to take your credit card details. Models, overseas ladies despite my search being 50k or less, oriental ladies trying to scam. Didn't meet one legit female all week. Stay clear

I joined Ashley Madison as a bit of a laugh using a fake name and must say im hooked. In fact, Ive been having so much fun searching, sending messages and chatting with the odd girl that ive joined a rival site too (think its called Nostringsaffair.com or something like that). Could see me getting addicted to this affairs stuff lol! I never really thought there would be that many women to talk to but seems they are just as devious as I am, which I suppose I always suspected anyway lol! Just make sure you clear your history if you share your laptop (youd be amazed how often I forget to do this)!

Found out my husband was cheating last year and have been going pretty mad on these affiars sites. I like AM for sure but its not quite as good as Nostringsaffair.com in my honest opinion. I use both now anyway, as I charge them on the credit card that gets paid by our joint bank account and quite like the idea that he is paying towards me flirting and yes, sometimes even meeting and sleeping with other men. Hes lucky he still has me though and ill probably stop this eventually, but we have a daughter so I made a decision to stay married for her (but also for me to live a little again, as he clearly was doing). Anyway, digressing a bit but the point is that Id give AM 7.5 out of ten as im never short of invitations and most of the men seem alright.

Thought I'd try the newly revised AshleyMadison.com. Wow, not exactly worth the investment just to get set up and then not much play until they want big pay to really be a "member." You'd think with their PR fiasco that they'd have come back with a friendlier first timer program or something to that effect, but really after just a few minutes of being on the site and sending a few emails, the next jump is on the low $80.00 and then if you want to access it through your phone? Another $20 out of the gate ON TOP OF the rather pricey monthly cost. Its time for a new company to do it bigger and more affordably and that's what AshleyMadison will probably be confronted with in no time.

Tip for consumers:
I mean if you've got money to burn? Hey, the world's your oyster so go for it. If you're smart with your money? You'd be wise to just skip it.

I'm a woman in a major metropolitan area. I found just what I was looking for. The guys that aren't successful on here may not know how to talk to women or want to rush too fast. I had one creep basically state how disappointed he was after I clammed up at his hotel suggestion immediately after starting contact.

If and when this arrangement doesn't work any longer, I'll log onto AM again in a heartbeat!

Don't waste your money, they nickel and dime you to death and you get much better bang for the buck on other sites like Seeking arrangements where a flat monthly fee will allow you to message as much as you want. A ton of the female "profiles" seem fake as hell on there too. Big Scam.

This dating site is a total waste of time and effort, most useless dating site I've ever come across, it's expensive buying there stupid credit system just to talk to mostly scammers. Absolute garbage site. Save your money and find a more respectful dating site. I gave 1 star simply because there is no 0 star

Tip for consumers:
Don’t bother with Ashley Maddison ,,, I can’t believe people actually join this crap site

I've used the site for almost two years and have met several nice women who were there for the same purpose as me... an affair. The tough part, if you are male, is there appears to be 10 times as many men as women vying for one another's affections. The only effective way I found to communicate was via chat. Intra site emailing is useless as I have been told by some women on the site they receive 50-60 emails or more a day. Chatting, however, costs "credits" and they're expensive. Minimum buy is $79 for 200 credits. 30 minutes of chat is 30 credits or $0.40 a minute! What I usually did was once the conversation was amicable, I'd suggest moving to Yahoo or Google IM and end the paid session there. Still, it wasn't easy. Again, the ratio is heavily tilted to men.

So many times ive been close to joining AM and then end up bottling it. Finally gave it a shot this week and glad I did cos they seem to have got there act together. If its half as successful as nostringsaffair.com has been for me then ill be more than happy. The two together could be quite a combo! Good bye boring marrage hello hot sex life lol

$50, to join plus a $20 mobile charge so $70 just to start. Customer support does not respond to your questions or complaints. Fake profiles set up so you spend credits emailing and get no response, but within a few minutes a 20 to 30 yr old girl will message, wanting you to go to their Snapchat or asking for your email address, so they can come give you a massage, but you have to enter your credit card info first. Basically Ashley Madison is a escort/prostitution website. I'm a 52yrold retired Marine veteran, I wanted a casual relationship with someone my age, not going to happen here, so if you are older and want a young Hooker you will like Ashley Madison.

Ash Mad is all about fast, quick, easy. It's great that it can try to supply that and secrecy at the same time but its not worked for me yet & I do sometimes worry that the lack of patience in todays society can lead to people getting caught on sites like this. Ive been using a similar site nostringsaffair.com for many months and the successes ive had there have been down to good old fashioned effort mixed with realistic expectations. The sites are actually quite similar but NSA just seems more down to earth for me, it doesnt promise the world and Im not looking for it anyway, just a bit of naughty anon fun! For me AM is a B- grade site atm but that might change of course.

$10 per text msg. Then she replies coyly asking for more costly texts. A never ending exchange of expensive text exchanges.
I actually found one of these women in real life. She had no interest in contact outside of the expensive website. Even though on the website replies she was utterly smitten by me!
I think women get some monetary inscentive to keep men coming back by dangling the empty illusion of a possible hookup.
This is how Ashley madison makes money: Like a peep show pimp.
Has anyone actually gotten laid off of this bogus site?

Tip for consumers:
Move on. Don't fall for the hype. It is a scam!

Every1 looking for an affair should try this one. Prob just second to nostringsaffair.com in terms of success rate & speed. Very good option for the people that know a good casual affairs site when they see one.

AM is one of these clever sites that you dont know whether youre joining a dating site or some kind of online Italian clothes store! It could be a fashion brand as it's nice to look at (and really very easy to use) but when I compare it with sites that have actually came through for me in the past (nostringsaffair.com the clear example) then it falls short. I'm all for my dating sites to be big businesses and look professional but they need to get me results within 3 months or I move on. In fairness, if NSA stops working for me I would probably come back and give it another try.

"New" site is absolutely horrible. In order to find the 3 women my age who live in Southern Maine, I have to pick through 100 Boston profiles because the morons at AM eliminated the by-State search, which was a handy feature off the "old" site. Total PIA and waste of time. The old site was much more searchable. So friggin Millennial "updated" the site to the point of total. Worthlessness. Let year, I did actually meet and have coffee with two "real" women, but it took an act of Congress to get that far. They were not hookers, but the site is loaded with trolls, just like all the reviews say. I miss Craigs List!
