“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!

If you want to be taken to the cleaners, then this is the site for you. The women are fakes, the site will charge you $19.00 to delete your account. Calls to their customer service number are a waste of time. Stay far away from this site, you have been warned.

Tip for consumers:
Don't even think of it, you have to watch everything you do, they will renew without telling you, because it is hidden, they will charge you to delete your account, even though they tell you that you chose that option, which I didn't. They are a rip off big time.

Many fake profiles on this site. Wasn't able to meet with one single woman but I chatted with a few! Maybe it was me that I wasn't lucky! Don't know if there are A N Y good sites out there where you will actually DATE REAL women. Maybe I will try this new site Candilyn.com but for now I am pretty frustrated about what is going on many sites.

I am a woman using AM and I am sure it is a lot different than being a man. Male users might be more lucky using other sites like Saphrina because it is not as costly and still offers good quality.

My experience is basically good with AM. As a woman It is free to use. Only problem is that once you join you will be totally "bombed" with mails and pictures. And most guys don't know what they are doing. They send pictures which most women do not want to see. They write messages which most women do not want to read!.

Once you filtered the perverts from the gentlemen you will be very fine.

Ashley Madison is not a scam, but not all the pictures in the search results, especially the ones they show you before you sign up, are real people. The deck is stacked with fake profiles with sexy pictures.

It is legit, however, in the sense that you can sign up and meet real people. You will know who the real ones are because the fake profiles do not respond to your messages.

I am no longer active on AM but I was in the past. It is one of the best affair websites. I also know for a fact that you can meet women through good hookup sites like Casualsexonly and AFF. Had a couple of dates through those sites as well. But it is always the same story: Keep in mind that women get hunreds of messages so they can be very picky about responding. They are very upfront about what they want but they still expect to be treated as ladies!

Really good affairs site, Id go as far as saying its as almost as good as Nostringsaffair.com, which ive used successfully for months now. Its great to have wo good options after wasting my time (and money) on so many other cheater sites that dont come close in terms of number of females, scammers, value for money, etc. Its not perfect of course I go plenty of business trips without getting lucky, but you cant expect sex on demand when youre a guy on a dating site, I dont care how good looking you are! So overall im pleased I ignored a lot of really bad reviews and gave the site a shot.

Scam site. Most women's posts do not contain photos, and many of the photos are fake anyway. The site won't allow copying an image, or I'd show you some classic fakery. Men outnumber women by a huge margin. And many of the women live out in the boondocks.

Tip for consumers:
The site is a scam. Women are unattractive and often use fake photos. You WILL NOT get any women messaging you.

I created a blank profile and I received 12 messages which I could not read without paying. 12 messages?! No, thanks, I don't by it!
I'll give a try to nostringsaffair.com and other sites recommended here and then leave my reviews

UPD: as it's been planned, I created my profile on nostringsaffair.com to check if it is any better then AM and it surely IS! Check out my review on http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.nostringsaffair.com#20

This site if full of fake profiles. They use fake profiles to get you to purchase credits. They email you with profiles showing interest in you in a attempt to get you respond to use up your credits. Many times the profile no longer exist. I truly believe, the people who run this site actively troll it's members using these profiles to lure its members to purchase additional credits. This is the worst site ever. They show your payments as AMDB.

Do not waste your time. The site use to be decent but over the past year I guess had become nothing but fake profiles! Would not recommend to anyone anymore! Wouldn't even give it 1 star but unfortunately I couldn't submit this w/o one.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use it !

At first it was pretty disappointing. Most women just looked at my profile and didn't bother to contact me. For me, the first few weeks were pointless. But than I changed my strategy.

I pimped up my profile, I worked on my pickup lines, and I found out that my chances greatly increased by trying 2 or 3 sites simultaneously, so I also joined Saphrina and AFF and finally I saw some results.

So first few weeks were like a testing stage. After I figured out how AM, but also Saphrina and AFF work, I finally hooked up with someone.

Do not expect immidiate results but it sure works if you hang in there.

I can only suggest to any man... find another site... ANY other site. I never recieved any legit communications, even after a month trying and a passle of dough blown.
EVERYTHING cost money, (credits) and the site does nothing to protect the guys that actually fund this joke from the posers that burn up your time and money.
I must say that it was a horrid mistake and I truly hope you don't make it. Please. Find any other site, these guys will fleece you and call it right...

When you send message is 5 credits and if your message is too long it will take 10 credits,,, how so I know that? Co I had 10 credits available and I sent a big message next thing I know my remaining 10 credits were gone! When you after you activate your acc you can read messages, then your credits won't go down after your read your first one,,, the next ones your credit won't go down but,, after your credits finish some of the messages you read already,, you can't read them anymore,, they are locked again! This needs to change,, too expensive!

Hanus Website... condones cheating! - what has the world come to, that people would actually create and profit from a website that promotes cheating on your spouse? Funny that their logo is, "life is short... have an affair."... because that loooong burn in hell, won't be so short!

So I've been on AM a couple weeks now and wow what a scam. I put on my profile that I thought it was a scam and the admins removed that wording before approving it. It supposed to cost 5 credits to send an email but I've been charged 6 and 7 credits. I've written them to complain but no response yet. Don't waste your money or your time with this site.

No sure if AM is still the number one source to find an affair but it still delivers. I have been on and off AM for three years with good results. Stop complaining if you weren't lucky. Suck it up and use other legitimate affair websites like Saphrina or VM. There are only four or five legitimate affair websites on the internet but those deliever if you are a little charming.

Truly an outrageous ripoff. Fake accounts galore, and if not fake accounts, then a galaxy of actual, living phonies and bores. Seriously, just read a good book, watch a great film, or learn to play a musical instrument: that would be a much, much better use of your precious moments on this earth.

Tip for consumers:
Recent positive reviews, on the Chicago Reader for instance, are obvious plugging for the company. They’re nonsense.

I Use it before I though it got better and it got worst first lot's of hookers and sugar babies and than you have women that ask you send a message to get you to use your credits and never answer back and there are no real women on this. Just a big waste of money.

If I had the choice, I would give this site zero stars. I registered and started receiving messages from men thanking me for favoriting them. I never added anybody to my favorites. When I checked the sent box, there were pages of names of men that I supposedly sent messages to. There were either prewritten wink messages or messages saying they were on my favorite list. This site is a big fat SCAM! Men, don't be fooled by these people. They send out fake messages making you think a woman is interested only to get you to respond (and waste your credits so that you can spend more). I received many wink messages and favorites too but I am wondering if it's also part of the scam to get me (women on that site) to write to the men. WHAT A SCAM! Don't waste your time or money with these money hungry people.

When youre looking for a site to arrange an affair on you are looking for one thing above than anything else the ability to be as stealth as possible. Aside from nostringsaffair.com ive struggled to find a site that combines that important factor with actual real married women. Ash Madison really does that. You can tell theyve put a lot of money and time into the site because it feels secure and its always busy, the stats are pretty crazy actually. Would recommend for married guys that are looking for something as safe as possible because there is a lot at risk at the end of the day.

This site took my $90 in a matter of 10 minutes, they are scammers. They charged me to send a message and then they charge me because it was sent priority (they chose priority), charged me to notify they received the message. SCAM!

Fake messages from fake people and fake messages from a few real people who never contacted me.
I've had some of the real people tell me they never sent the message. AM sent from their profile. Just a way to scam you out of your $$. Pathetic.

Fake website. Another reviewer also suggested cheatersnetwork.com - this is fake too.
I emailed a profile on ashley madison (personal email) and got a response. Sent a reply and got another response. Sent a third response and changed the subject title and then I got the first response I received, word for word. Obviously a bot sending messages.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this site and others. The only one I have ever found to be 50% real or more is adultfriendfinder.com

So in my drunken stupor I signed up to Ashley Madison. I did not pay for the site. All of a sudden I got about 25 emails from women wanting to talk to me. So I decided to sign up spend $70 And you buy 100 credits which allowed me to send three emails. I'm out of credits and I deleted my account. Because the women that wanted to talk to me weren't there when I try to reach out to them. So Ashley Madison pumps fake profiles to your non-purchased account to try to get you to sign up. Very disappointed. Learn my lesson once again
