“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!

As a women, I can tell you that this site works. I've met and hooked up with a lot of great guys. However, I will say that since there are considerably more men than women on the site you have to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Women like to be wined and dined and brought on business trips, to a nice hotel, etc... Be patient, it works. I found a great guy who I have been hooking up with on a regular basis for over 2 years now and we are very happy with the arrangement.

Had a slow start on this site but by the last month was really doing well, if I may say so myself! Decided to give it another month to see if any of the women im speaking to (there are three, for the record) end up meeting up with me. The chats have been pretty hot so far so im hopeful, but the proof will be in the pudding. I know since I tried nostringsaffair.com earlier in the year my batting average has been pretty good so if I can manage the same on this site ill definitely be getting some action with a hot married chick! Wish me luck! Will do a follow up review after the month is up as im sure that will help some of you make a decision. James, 31.

I've given this a good shot and been comparing it to other main online affairs sites like nostringsaffair.com. It falls short of that site, which simply has more women. But it is also better than some of the complete time wasting sites ive tried out too. From my research its clear that a lot will depend on where you live, US and Euro cities tend to be fine but other places just dont have the women. But a part from that the site works fine and the app is decent. Just dont tell the wife!

I been with Ashley Madison for about a year now and they always trying to scheme for more money. There are so many fakes on the site. Even if you pay your fee, they're looking to get more. One thing they do is to charge 29.99 for some service fee month for profile responding to requests. Another thing they do is charge 5 credits collect when someone respond with "quick" message. And watch out for automatic renewals they will rob you blind. I pay with PayPal and right away disable the automatic renewal.

I have been attracted to the site by its rather "good reputation" and it turned to be a total disappointment for me.
After using it for a month I am absolutely sure this is a 90% scam. The rest 10% is covered by "professionals" in the field of "dating".
Many if not most of the conversations are probably computer generated, not initiated by real people.
And, believe me, I had a very reasonable expectations, was not looking for a twenty years younger beauty, not even five years younger one. And I am not ugly person at all.
And the most frustrating thing was this fake responses from some kind of a "smooth operator".
Total waist of money and time.
Even one star would be probably too much to give.

I wrote a previous review where women who are not looking for Asian men but still sending me messages when my profile says I'm Asian. Now I have a guy who accidentally entered single female looking for males on his profile sending me messages. It looks like the website might be auto sending random matches. I did get a request from a young lady and both shared our photos but nothing since.

Ashleymadison is the worlds largest affair website. No doubt about it! I have been using it back in 2014 and I never had any problems! If you ask me, there are only two or maybe three legit affair websites and Ashleymadison is one of them along with Saphrina. I don't care what everyone else is writing. I only know that I had great results using those sites.

It does take some money to get through the process but if you really want to hook up, it can be well spent. I prefer good affair sites like Ashley Madison or Saphrina over lame dating apps or time wasting dating sites. Be realistic, persistent and you will succeed.

Here it is a perspective of a woman. Same men over and over. Absolutely downplaying their age. Sending naked pictures when clearly stated please do not. Search features of AM are very basic, poor privacy options, and flexibility. No matching. Terrible customer service. This is a not good site.

Never been on a site like this before - I am finding it very satisfying - its free for women to be on the site and if you don't mind being inundated with $#*! shots and requests for your pics its working out well...
It just depends what your expectations are...

Not only is majority of female respondents fake, any positive feedback on this site is probably written up by them. This site is setup specifically to scam. They have people (male & female) working in the back office to send fake reply messages. Once you pay then nothing happens.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away. Trick to these scams is the money is so small that it isn't worth suing them. But a little bit from many people makes a large profit. A lawyer should do a class action lawsuit.

I am sure after the "hack" everyone who used other affair sites is pretty happy. And even before I believe that "credits" are more expensive anyway. A few messages and they are gone. But in my opinion AshleyMadison.com is still one of the better sites. All the negative reviews are basically not fair. This site is worth MUCH MORE than a one star rating!

Cant even look at a message without having to pay 200 damn credits. Why not make it so we can decide how many credits to buy, rather than forcing us to spend 70 Pounds?

I understand they need to make money but to what end? Im a tech savvy guy, and can tell when an account is fake, so there are plenty you scroll right passed, but that's unfortunate if they ARE legit accounts you are passing by. I have not spent a cent on AM and nor will I EVER.

Are all the women in the world so high on themselves they think their better than every guy? I have had an account active for almost a year now. I'm a middle aged man recently separated looking to see what's out there. You read the profiles of the women on there and they all talk about how laid back and fun to be with they are. Open to conversation bla bla bla. So you send a like or wave to someone and wait. 99% of the women on pretty much all the dating sites don't even have the decency to reply to any type of messages or likes. It really doesn't get any more rude or disrespectful. Women if your reading this give your head a shake.

Tip for consumers:
If your hoping to meet or chat with nice woman. It’s not going to happen. The only messages you will receive will be from fake profiles looking to contact you off site and take your money.

I really like Ashleymadison.com. Wide variety of women and the site's features are awesome and innovative. Not sure if I prefer it to Saphrina.com. Both sites have their pros and cons. Anyhow, really worth trying, Been a while since I used it but I've hooked up with a nice woman back then.

I was registered on ashley madison but it didn't convince me at all! The credit system is bit crazy and it costs a lot. Now I'm subscribed to Casual club from last 6 months and I've to say that it is really worth the effort! Also because it costs less! Hey guys try casual club and you won't be disappointed ;)

Here again, don't waste your time or money. You sign up, browse and pic your favorites maybe wink at one or 5. You get automated replies thanking you for your interest but they only reply to full messages. If you do get to chat with someone they immediately want you to leave the platform. Why? They are trying to scam you. New women sign up, you message them you may get 1 response and they disappear. So many fake profiles also. You are better off going to a massage spa...

Big Time rip off!. A number of hot contacts contacted me a couple of times, then ghosted... profile missing. Others respond once, then don't answer, sucking up expensive credits. A single message varies in cost from $5.00 to $8.00. This is a big scam.! Beware!

They suspend/block your account for no reason, the site's goal is to make men pay more money, every time this happens guys need to pay more credits to initiate contact again. It's simply their tactic for profit, they don't care if you are in the middle of a good conversation and have not violated any terms, they enjoy suspending your account multiple times to make money.

Site is ok but as the most famous place for online promiscuity dating I expected more. Id only tried nostringsaffair.com before this and expected that AM would blow that site away because its so well-known, but actually I think I prefer no strings affair in the end. A bit disappointed I must say as you hear a lot of stuff (good and bad) about AM but I seriously expected better results.

Became a member after much thought. Right out of the gate I was met by a scammer. Tried to reach out to Ashley Madison by phone and email... "0" communication or customer support. My money is GONE. Don't make the same mistake I did. RUN AWAY! FRAUD!

Tip for consumers:
STAY AWAY!!!

Your site is totally fake, well 90%, all the girls do is try to get you to send a message, that's where it ends, you will be hearing more from me, do not sign up for this site, it is a total rip off, trust me, don't see for your self. Took them on with pay pal you can guess who won the battle and I offered up every email with the bs.

I think im close to setting up my first affair on this site but ive been thinking that for a while now. On nostringsaffair.com things seemed to happen a bit quicker but im not giving up yet as I guess not all sites can be that good. Im trying to put the work in and send as many messages as I can every day but it can be difficult in the evenings with the old ball and chain hanging around the place. I think its a good site but so far cant give it more than 3 stars ***

I agree and disagree with some reviewers here. AM is a great site, but it is not as good as it used to be unfortunately. Those who say that the site is a scam, they just don't have enough experience in online dating and they cannot distinguish fakes from real members. Try NoStringsAffair.com - I got laid with help of it. Good luck! ;)

The profile of the woman I was hoping to meet up with was totally fake and she quit communicating with me after receiving $360.00 dollars from me on green dot prepaid credit cards. I feel so stupid that I didn't pick up on what was happening. So if u see these 2 pics on Ashley Madison stay away. The prepaid cards we're supposed to be to get onfido clearance instead it's fraud just wanting money from u.

Tip for consumers:
They claim to fully refund u after buying a second set of green dot prepaid cards and then never hear from either the girl or from Ashley Madison again.
