Ashley Madison

It's just horrible... I set up my account and used it fine for over a month and then got suspended with no explanation or contact info... kept trying to set up again but didn't want to due to having spent hours vetting and blocking idiots and lost contact with people I did want to meet. But they mixed up new email with old email and nothing worked... Now I wait forever waiting to be reinstated... WORST experience ever. Customer service is a JOKE. And I hate the way if you don't pay attention, and unclick the box where they can contact people for you... you get angry messages from guys thinking you messaged them when it was the site... finally figured out how to undo that crap. The default should be NOT to contact people for you. Who came up with that bright idea?

I turned to AM after deciding I needed something extra in life. I'm 26 and married, having been with my husband since we were 16. When I first signed up it was very clear how scarce we females were with the overload of messages I received. After some searching and weeding through I found some wonderful men to talk to. It's true that all the good ones are married because these guys are amazing and just looking for some affection and attention that they aren't receiving otherwise. I no longer have a profile because I found someone on there in a similar situation as me who lives close and I see him everyday and it is so wonderful. People are so quick to think of AM negatively but all I know is it's made 2 people very happy.

I've read reviews here from disgruntled men who may not have gotten a date with the woman they were pursuing. Perhaps the experience for women is different. But as a woman on that site, it is impossible to respond to every man who contacts you. Some men, after seeing my pictures, told me they thought I was 'fake' and they wanted my email address to prove I was real. I for one, won't waste my time with men who are suspicious. Also, many MANY men do not have a profile picture. I NEVER responded to a man without a face on his profile picture (you can blank out your eyes). I had 3 clear pictures of myself on public profile with eyes blanked out. It's enough to give a person a clear idea of your looks. And yes, it is about looks. After all, we're married and there's no other reason to do this than pure physical attraction.

Women- there are a lot less of us on here than there are men, which is to our advantage. Put up your profile and they will come in droves. The men I have met are all professional, successful, attractive men and you can really pick and choose between them. I have had one three year affair, one two year affair, and several shorter term things. I love the site! My husband has not been as lucky. There are so many men it is difficult to stand out and get a woman's attention. I got over 700 messages the first few days after I signed up. Impossible to read through them all, which is why people are reporting that they don't get responses. My husband is not very assertive on the site. One of my lovers has had a lot of success because he tried. He actively messaged women, and several responded over the years he has been a member.

I'm a male from DC who's been using AM on and off over the last 2 years.

Cons first: in my opinion it can become a little expensive so if you can't spend much money you should at least consider to try other good affair sites like Saphrina. Just keep in mind that if you are outside a metropolitan area most of the times AM will be the better site to use because they have much more members than any other site in this category.

That being said...

I've been using AM on and off for two years and during this time I have had several "hookups". From my experience, if you create an interesting profile, write decent messages (no copy/paste, try to tailor it to the woman's profile) AM works, no matter what everyone else says. Consider the gender imbalance you will find on AM, but on any other affair site as well. That is part of the game.

If you want to keep your affair secret AdultsFun.club is a better option. It's safer because it's not so well-known and they control their platform: they ban dodgy users so scammers don't run rampant there like they do on AshleyMadison. AshleyMadison is full of scammers and it's very unsafe. You can have people stalking you, requesting money, exposing your correspondence, ruining your reputation. I learned my fair share of lessons: I was blackmailed and this scammer nearly ruined my family.
If you want an affair - AshleyMadison is the wrong place. It's a money scam!
AM managers are greedy. I think they are up to their necks in this scam, otherwise I don't know why they never ban profiles of blackmailers and money hungry scammers. All my reports were ignored. All scammers are still there "working" with their new victims preying on their money.

Ashley Madison is real. I've been on the site for about four years and have met up with and had sex with over 8 women. It's a very slow and patient process. In addition, I'm mid 30's, in great shape, and picky. I'd say about a third of the attractive women are either fake profiles trying to get your email address. Another third are escorts or sugar babies. Fact of the matter is that the deck is stacked against you. However, when you are able to meet up with someone, it can be incredible. Keep the distances short as scheduling is a real challenge. Also, you have to remember the ratio of men to women. As a test, I have created a fake woman profile and gotten bombarded by men. For those folks complaining, take a look in the mirror and learn how to write some good copy. Women can get away with $#*!ty one sentence messages but men have to articulate. The numbers are against you.

I've been on A.M. now for about 4 years and have met and had sex with 19 women, 4 of which I still see regularly. I can't believe all of the poor reviews on here, but it probably correlates very well to the horror stories the women I have met have told me. Guys with crazy requests, sending $#*! pics immediately, being stalkers through email when you haven't even talked to or met the person yet! Guys, get a clue! Your horrible profiles and behavior is making it very easy for guys like me. I'm no superstar, average looks, average body, hair pretty thin on top, 41 years old and I'm still picking up 25 year olds because I know how to write and talk in a way that sparks interest. It's about separating yourself from the herd of [censored]s who can't write 2 good sentences in a row and then expect women to come running when they send an email like "Meet me behind the gas station so you can blow me in my car" Yeah, that really turns them on... I probably shouldn't even post this cause either you will say I'm full of it, or I'll be helping a bunch of clueless guys start getting laid and cut in to my results. Regardless, A.M. is definitely legit. I won't say that there aren't some "pros" working on there, and maybe that is more apparent in a smaller area, but in large cities, this is the best thing since, well, I can't think of anything better.

Also, for those of you who complain about the cost of credits, I paid 149 for 500 which lasted 3 years. I'm sure most of you could spend that in a few nights at the bar buying drinks for ladies and still end up home alone. So, think about this, I've been with 19 women for under 150$, works out to less than 8$. I must not be a math major, cause that doesn't seem expensive to me.

I've been on AshMad off and on for about 5 years now. I've read many of the reviews here, and frankly, most of them are too taxing to read most of the others. Some of you are so tedious I'm not surprised the site didn't work for you! Jeez!

The site will give you what you put into it. Expecting immediate results? Try a hooker. Expecting some 5 star model to fall in your lap with minimal interaction on your part? Be realistic fella, especially if you're sitting at home with your gut spilling over your tighty whites.

There ARE quality women on the site if dudes use a little common sense, fill out a thoughtful profile (no check boxes only and MINUS the $#*! pics) and be patient (not thirsty as hell)?. It works. Pssy rarely if ever fall s in your lap - whether it's a bar, work, walking down the street. Or online.

I would caution that AshMad is a BUSINESS, and yes, they use little tactics to get guys to EXHAUST credits, lol. Again, use common sense and avoid transferring credits, buying the "cyber gifts", participating in the fantasy dates or the instant messaging, etc. All crap designed to drain your credits so you'll have to reload quickly. AM also has a feature now where they AUTOMATICALLY send a "private showcase request " from a woman's profile (whom you messaged) who didn't actually send it, lol. They even show that she's looked at your profile - when she actually hasn't. All these measures are designed to HYPE a fella into thinking he has something other than the smoke and mirrors he may ACTUALLY have.

Again, use common sense and don't come off like a trick, a sucker, or super thirsty (same rules in dealing with women no matter WHERE you meet them, btw) and you can make this site work as well for you as I have for myself. I'd wish most of you good luck, but based on some of the comments I've read - you probably wouldn't know what to do with it, lol.

I am a woman, so my experience is very different than the men on AM, but I think if you ask the 3 men I am currently having affairs with, they would give AM a pretty high rating too! It is free for women, so I had nothing to lose. Yes, I was only on the website for 10 days, having been inundated with over 500 winks, emails and pics in that period of time. Of these I maybe responded to 20, met 12 (NO SEX was involved at this point) and ended up with my final 3 picks. (They were all such great guys I couldn't just choose one!) The competition is extremely fierce, so put on your best face, and be on your best behavior. If you do the math I chose the top. 06% of all the men who contacted me! BTW, I hear the complaint that all the woman are overweight on this site... I am 50, very fit and wear size 4 jeans, so I know that that is not true. I am attractive, but no beauty queen. Don't expect to find a super-model on this site... they have dates already and don't need to be on-line! Keep your expectations reasonable.

Here's what NOT to do if you want to be successful on this site:
1. Send penis pics or have shirtless selfies taken in a bathroom mirror. (All these were immediately deleted along with any winks, emails associated with the user!)
2. Send a 1 sentence "hi there" message- I responded to men who sent thoughtful, informative, funny and/or interesting emails that DID NOT immediately solicit sex from me.
3. Don't bother to read her profile to see if your wants/needs actually match. I wrote a very clear description of the situation I was looking for (long-term, not a one-night stand), and made my sexual preferences clear. If you are looking for BDSM, DO NOT expect a response from a woman who says she like to cuddle! Duh!
4. Expect to just meet and jump in the sack. This site is for people looking for "affairs", which I believe entails getting to know someone, and actually enjoying their company and treating them with respect and kindness. If you want a quick hook-up join Tinder.
5. Expect to find some hot, bored 25 year-old housewife wanting to bone you day and night. We are real women. I just happen to be single, but all my lovers are married and younger. I get NO complaints about my age. Have realistic expectations, and widen your age criteria. You'd be surprised at how many of us "older" woman have it going on!

I had no idea what to expect when I signed up, and all my expectations were exceeded. I think my guys might say the same thing...

Hello I made numerous accounts to try and get on the am experience but can't everytime i set it up and finish my profile the boom. Account suspended when I email them they ask for my ID um I'm sorry but we are on this site to stay anonymous.and if anyone seen the Netflix series Ashley Madison where they got hacked years ago and people was getting blackmailed and extortion to them ..thats why I don't share my true identity with them not chancing it ...but the funny thing is . To women its free to us but if your a paying customer paying for a subscription no issues out of it ...weird and strange to me

I hate this site i used to have so much fun a few years ago then they added some rule or bot that freezes every new account and say its sus for no reason then you have to wait 5 days for someone to give ur account back just for it to get taken away again for no reason . why does this site let me down I need a new platform made this ones turning into a SCAM

On [protected] I'm unable to login. my account is under [protected]@yahoo.com or [protected]@yahoo.com when trying to log in it ask for username and password.

I hit forgot users name and pass word. then it said a e-mail has been sent to r users e-mail check e-mail and spam folder. nothing there. I had a account with some credits on it but unable to login to that one. I went ahead and curated new account. and after trying to log in on this new account no luck. Is there away to get back log in to the account that has some credits on it?

Wanted to check on the numerous complaints of fraud I encountered concerning AM. Went on AM as a guest and immediately received a "Note" from an attractive looking woman in her 30's from Pennsylvania. Was told by AM that if I wanted to respond I would have to join (for $49). Did an image search of the woman's picture and here is what I discovered:

Is a picture of the actress Kate Winslet at an airport! The woman in the profile writes, "Too often the picture above is of me at IAD getting on a plane to MDW. More often I want my picture to be a lazy day out in the sun at some vineyard or maybe a jaunt out into the country and along Skyline Drive."

Need any more proof? Do you think all of these sad women are posting phony images of themselves? Think again. These are the very profiles and images sent out by AM in "collect messages" as a way to trick you into joining.

AM is creating phony profiles using images of women they have trolled from the web. This is an outrageous scam. How do they get away with this? Isn't this illegal? I strongly advise the actresses whose photos are being used on this site without their permission to sue Ashley Madison. WHY DO THEY DO THIS? The answer is obvious. Not enough women sign up for this site and all of their revenue is generated by men, so to manage this problem they create thousands of fake profiles and send messages from these profiles to lure in customers. This is the site featured on Dr. Phil, Tyra, CNN, The View, Ellen, Larry King, and Good Morning America?

The people running this site are very..very rude and all must be jealous wives. Made an account last month I deactivated it and deleted email i gave them plently of money as I only used the site to chat no other apps and I wanted to make a new account today and they suspended me and then I message about it and they completely banned me for reasons they won't tell me its very sickening as they made me take selfies with my id card and also I had to send all my photos thru them all my nudes sent for them to upload I had to send to some image bank email it's very strange and I want a clear explanation why someone messages me that I did something wrong what was it that I did !

How long does things take ? You keep up the people spamming and wanting money but temporarily ban the good innocent people . also how can you add the rule "repetitive behavior" I can't even get myself ONE account in peace. This is the only site I can find that is for married people to sneak on but the people that run this site must be super lazy get off urbutt and go through ur messages or hire more people and change ur rules for suspension

I have never been able to cancel my subscription I was locked out of my account. Despite trying old and current password, I could never log in. I tried to cancel my account a while back by reaching out to american express. Still nothing, you have charged me now 7 months of inactivity with no response to the emails I sent to your support, I would really appriciate if you finally could cancel my subscription as of today as well as some form of financial compensation for these & months where you took no actions. I will give you a few days before I file a complain with the bbb. Thank you

They randomly suspended my account when I decided to give out my number so I could arrange a time and place to meet…at least that’s what I figure MAY have gotten me suspended? I’ve emailed AM over and over asking what I did wrong so my banned status can be removed but no one answers…ever. It’s just some boiler plate reply….no humans from customer support. Im a real person, not an escort and I’m not even having an affair! Can anyone help me?

I opened my account and submitted a single photo and within hours was suspended even though I only messaged two people seeing if they were interested. I followed the conduct code completely and prefer to keep contact to the site. All of this happened today and I'm getting more and more upset because even the link to appeal the suspension is down. I've tried this site before and they keep locking my account BUT KEEP THEM UP. I've seen my own photos used on other accounts. It's disgusting behavior as a company.

So, let me tell you about my experience with Ashley Madison. First off, let me warn you that it can be pretty pricey. When you buy credits, which can cost around $3 each, you can use them to contact someone. But here's the thing: women don't need to buy any credits. It's only the men who have to do all the contacting. And let me tell you, it can be tough to find real women on here.

When you first sign up, you'll get bombarded with connection requests, emails, and winks from young women with beautiful pictures. But don't be fooled - these are bogus profiles and bots. It's pretty obvious, and you'd have to be pretty naive to fall for them. Thankfully, they do lessen after a while when you don't respond to them.

When you do start contacting women in your area, you'll notice that most of them don't have pictures or have them hidden. But there are real women on here, mostly middle-aged women who aren't getting any attention from their husbands. If you're willing to pay the $59, you'll get 20 chances to contact someone. Just be warned that if your credits run out, you won't be able to communicate with anyone anymore.

Despite all of this, I have actually met two women on here in real life. One of them was really nice, and we had a great time together. The women on here who are real are looking for passion and romance that's missing from their lives. Most of the men, on the other hand, seem to be looking for just sex. But there is a middle ground, if you're willing to look for it.

My advice to you is to not send naked pictures of yourself via Ashley Madison. Wait until you're talking to the woman off of the site, and only if she wants to see them. Most of the real women on here won't be interested in that kind of thing.

Overall, Ashley Madison can be pretty expensive, and they try to trick you into using your credits with bogus profiles and requests. But if you take the time to suss out the real women on here, you might just find what you're looking for. Just be careful when you sign up, and make sure you don't leave the default settings on for them to automatically top off your credits and charge extra for mobile devices. It would be nice if they were more honest, but I guess it is what it is. And just remember - if a woman contacts you out of the blue, she's almost certainly bogus.

Ashley Madison, or AM as it is commonly known, is a website that promises to connect you with like-minded individuals for discreet affairs. However, my experience with this site has been nothing short of a complete scam. The site is designed in such a way that you are forced to spend at least $50-100 before you can even connect with real people. It's a clever tactic, but totally unethical.

Most of the profiles on the site are fake and run by employees just to get you to spend credits. It's rare to find a real woman looking to hook up in the first few weeks on the site. I had a few 'favorites' in my list, but they were obviously fake since they were on the site almost 24/7. It's 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's 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. It's a 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. If you delete your profile, it costs $19. Deactivating is free, 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 don't score, but if you attempt to claim it, they send a physical check to your home address. They know 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. These marketing geniuses are complete scoundrels who are very good at taking your money. I eventually did meet women, but not until hitting the ~$100 threshold. Gee, then the fake women have been figured out and ignored, and my search results just kept getting better. It's amazing how that works. All by design. (I design software for a living)

I was on Ashley Madison for a good three years, being extra careful because I am single and was looking for a single or divorced friend with benefits situation. I was feeling lonely and had tried the more traditional dating sites like Match, Christian, and POF, but they were all a farce. The entry cost of Ashley Madison is quite excessive, considering the support they provide. I assume it's a minimum of $100. To write to a person, it costs $5.00, and the system is defaulted to put a priority checkmark on the email as priority for $5.00 ($10 per contact). If a member writes you "collect," and you click on it, it's another $5.00 for them to say, "sorry not interested" because there is no way to communicate it without a charge or blowing the contact off.

I found that the vast majority of women who wrote to me were prostitutes, scammers, and "sugar babies." They were quite good at responding to scammers or illegal activities. However, they only returned $5 of the $20 or so it cost me to discover that I was dealing with a Nigerian scammer (most of my membership). It cost me about $300 to meet one nice woman who was married to a husband with borderline personality disorder and needed me more as a friend than as a lover (three hundred dollars to enter the friend zone).

I put my same ad on the local Craigslist, weeded out the scams, and within a couple of weeks, I found a woman who met my needs. Her husband died in an accident, and she needed an adult and a lover in her life as she worked through the issues. I needed someone who understood that I had lost my job and was not financially available (or physically available - I am taking every odd job I can find to eat). It worked much better, and we have had considerable respect.

Unless you live in a major urban area, Ashley is likely to be a waste of time and money (at least for men). The real women looking for lovers are quite small, so they have the pick of the litter. Unless you are exceedingly tall, handsome, and pretty much the kind of jerk guy that always gets laid anyway, you are unlikely to meet anyone worth your time.

Lastly, most of the women on here are likely to have multiple partners... wear a condom! The women most men are looking for will pick one guy and get off the site quite quickly.

I'm a regular guy who's been thinking about giving Ashley Madison a try. I've read a lot of reviews on here, and I have to say, I'm a bit confused. Some people seem to think it's a complete waste of money, while others swear by it. I think a lot of it comes down to your expectations and where you live.

Let's be real here, if you're an older guy who's overweight and expecting to hook up with hot 25-year-olds, you're probably going to be disappointed. That's just not realistic. But if you're like me, a 48-year-old guy who's in decent shape but not exactly a ladies' man, there's still hope. I've had some success on Craigslist and Tinder, so I'm thinking maybe Ashley Madison could work for me too.

I live in Austin, TX, and there are plenty of hot, available women here. Some are attached, some are not. I'm not necessarily looking for someone who's married or attached, but I'm also not looking for a relationship. I just want a friend with benefits or a one-time hookup. And I don't want any drama or someone who's going to get attached and start talking about leaving their partner.

That's why I'm hesitant to believe all the bad reviews I've read. I think a lot of the guys who are complaining are older, married, and not exactly exciting. Of course they're not going to have much luck on a site like this. And I do appreciate the warnings about the high cost of chatting and the way they keep charging your credit card. But there are ways around that, like using a gift card.

I recently saw an episode of Amy Schumer where she had the founder of Ashley Madison on as a guest. He was bragging about how successful the site is, but he didn't seem to care about all the negative reviews. That says a lot to me. But even with all the warnings, I'm still considering giving it a try. If I can get just one hookup or a short-term FWB with a hot chick who's not crazy, it'll be worth the $49.

I was curious about Ashley Madison after reading an article about a woman's experience on the site. So, I decided to sign up and see what it was all about. At first, I was excited because there seemed to be a lot of potential for meeting new people. However, after spending some time on the site, I realized that it was all a scam.

One of the first things I noticed was that there were a lot of fake profiles created by Ashley Madison. These profiles seemed realistic, so I tried to initiate contact with some of them. However, I quickly realized that this was a dirty trick to get me to spend all my credits. After sending a paid message, I never received a response.

Another trick that Ashley Madison uses is sending priority messages from members with profiles that seem real. However, to respond to these messages, it costs credits as well. Again, I never received a response after sending a paid message.

To make matters worse, I started receiving messages from other members with profiles that seemed real. However, they asked for my personal email to communicate easier and avoid using Ashley Madison credits. This sounded like a good idea at first, but it turned out to be another scam. After a few exchanges of messages, they asked me to sign up for a voucher credit website that required a credit card on file. I knew this was a scam, so I said no. They stopped communicating with me immediately.

As if that wasn't enough, I received hundreds of messages every week from fake profiles all over the world. After several weeks of communicating with hundreds of "members" on Ashley Madison, I have not found one genuine profile yet.

Looking back, I realize that I was naive to believe in the article I read. Upon rereading it, I realized that it was probably created by Ashley Madison. There were details that a cheating wife would not reveal on the internet, and the story was extremely well-written to attract readers from beginning to end.

In conclusion, do not waste your money on Ashley Madison. There are no real women on this website, only fakes.

I have to say, I was pretty excited to try out AshleyMadison.com. I mean, who wouldn't be? The idea of meeting up with someone who's looking for the same thing as you without any strings attached is pretty enticing. However, my experience with the site was less than stellar.

First off, let me warn you that this site is not a membership type. You have to buy "credits" to keep texting and receiving texts from other parties. And let me tell you, those credits add up quickly. You're paying around $5 for every single message you type. So if you're not careful, you could end up spending a lot of money without even realizing it.

But that's not even the worst part. The majority of the ladies on the site are bots. Yes, you read that right. Digital robots. They're virtual ladies created by the owners of the website that will text you and keep making you questions only to make you text back and spend your purchased credits. And on top of that, there are real scammers on the site as well. They won't last long, but they'll last long enough for you to have texted them and spent your credits before their username is deleted by the staff. So it's your loss.

And if that's not bad enough, the site also runs some scammy practices. When you run out of credits, not only can you not text the people you've initiated a conversation with, but you also can't read their texts to you. You'll receive a notification that the contact has messaged you, but in order to read the message, you'll need to purchase more credits.

But wait, there's more. When you first sign up, they offer you a first-time discount on credit purchases. You go ahead and select your plan and go ahead with payment. It's only on the very last step when they charge you a "one-time fee" for the "Mobile App" of $29.99. And when you run out of credits, your only option is to buy a package of credits. Not as you need, but a package. And the cheapest package of credits costs $89.

And let's not forget about the chat. It's very restrictive. You can't send pictures, you can't see when was the last time your contacts logged in, you don't know if they've read your texts, and you don't know what time of the day each text was sent/received. This information is very important and needed, especially when hanging out on a chat.

So, in my experience, $90 lasted only 45 minutes, and I was able to contact less than 15 ladies. Only three of them turned out to be real, but by the time they replied to my initial messages, I was out of credits. And in order to be able to continue the conversations, I would need to buy another credit package, but this time for the regular price of $90.

In conclusion, I would not recommend AshleyMadison.com. It's a scam, plain and simple. If you want to meet up with real people, look elsewhere. AdultFriendFinder.com has proven to be the best available option and is also the largest in the world.

This website is like going to a bar, but you gotta pay for it and get nothing in return. Here's what you'll notice if you think I'm just an ugly guy with no charm and have an axe to grind, and buy credits anyway:
1) After you start your account, but before you buy any credits (and especially if you seem to be dithering, thinking about it for a long time), you will get many "Collect" messages, which you, of coarse, need credits to open. This, even if you haven not posted a photo or any info at all. Really? Are there that many desperate women out there that they glom onto any bit of hope for a man? Are there 100s of women for every man that creates an account? Judge for yourself.
2) After you have paid for credits, you will begin receiving those collect messages, but with pictures of fabulous young women with flowing long hair, beautiful eyes, stunning bodies. This is to get you to open the collect message, lose 5 credits, and see the useless one line message sent by ashley madison. They picture your credits as milk that should spoil with time. If you sit on them, they give you incentive to use them up and buy more. Don't answer collect messages is my advice. You'll learn this, if you chose not to heed my advice. A few examples of some of the bogus messages I have personally received: "I think I have a good imagination. How does it look with you?". "How has been your experience with ashley madison so far? For me, so far, so good." "You live in Smithville?" What's odd about this last one is, I do, but I quickly changed my town to a nearer large city (within a minute or 2 of creating the profile, while this collect mail came a week later), thinking I would get more responses, so the only people who would know I was in Smithville are the employees of ashley madison. CAUGHT.
3) As you do get to the end of your credit supply, suddenly a flurry of interested girls in your mailbox. My advice: quite this site while you're only $60 in the hole, and don't fall for this scam.

IF you are still desperate enough to try this website, go with the intro offer. DO NOT plunk down more money thinking you will get more privileges. You will be angrier with yourself afterwards, and can always buy more credits later, if you believe my advice is wrong. Also, to convince yourself, put in the languages spoken category of your profile that you also speak Swedish, and see how there are suddenly 30 or 40 people in your small village who not only speak Swedish, but want a man on the side.
The creator of this website is just another scam artist who came up with a way to bilk men and get rich on it. The CRTC does not, unfortunately, have any jurisdiction over internet website content.

Ashley Madison (ashleymadison.com) is a website that has targeted the weakness of men, their polygamous nature. It is a site where men can find women who are willing to have secret relationships with them. However, before you consider signing up, there are several things you need to keep in mind.

Firstly, only men pay for using the site, which is unfair in a world where everything is supposed to be equal. This probably tells a lot about how Ashley Madison operates. Maybe the majority of women don't wish to have a secret relationship at all, and to attract whoever is left out, they have possibly made it free for women.

Secondly, how are they screening the women? To test this, I made a fake profile and was utterly shocked to see the number of men who sent proposals to meet me. Some men are really desperate for sex, and no wonder why the flesh market thrives so well. A few had even sent me naked pictures of themselves. If you are one of them, go and take it down. You don't know when Ashley Madison will get hacked, and how your picture could make your family heartbroken.

Thirdly, the women ratio is very, very low. I actually liked three women profiles and sent them my message. It cost me like 5c+5c for each message. By default, Ashley Madison enables something called priority message, which is nothing but a flag that gets shown on the other side. If you use a credit card, they also upfront load you with 19.99 for things you don't want. A cleverly thought way to rip men off. Coming back to the messages I sent, these women probably got tens of messages from people like me. It also means I have to reach out to many to get a proper response from at least one. You do get a response for say wink message (free message), however, all responses are standard ones a woman can choose. When she does, you get a collect message which you cannot read without being a paid Ashley Madison member. Again, a con job.

Lastly, many women I saw were either escorts, came on the site for checking how it would be, or completely fake ones like the other one I created. Now when you send those priority messages hoping to get laid, how do you know it's not one of the profiles a man has created just to have fun? Think about it, folks.

I need not have written a detailed review here. However, the fake profile I created taught me a lot about how it looks from the other side. I was hoping to get a response from a woman and expecting at least I could chat with her. After I saw the other side, I came and removed my man's profile. It's a fake service designed to loot men. Feel free to waste your money there or instead take your spouse to a nice dinner. Maybe we have to work on rekindling our relationship with a partner we trust instead of reinventing the wheel all over again and getting conned and hurt in the process.

I recently tried out Ashley Madison, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. I was initially intrigued by the site's promise of discreet affairs and the ability to connect with like-minded individuals. However, after spending some time on the site, I quickly realized that it was not all it was cracked up to be.

First of all, let's talk about the reviews. I was skeptical when I saw a few 5-star reviews that seemed a bit off. One guy was ranting about Christians, and another was wondering why cheaters don't like getting cheated. It didn't make sense to me. But then I realized that most of the positive reviews were from women, which makes sense since they don't have to pay anything and can choose from hundreds of men. It's like standing on a street corner with a sign and getting 5 stars for it. The few guys who gave it 5 stars acknowledged that it was a scam, so I don't understand why they gave it a high rating. It's all very strange.

Reading between the lines of the best reviews, it seems that the few real women on the site are bombarded with messages. You have to completely expose yourself to get noticed, and even then, you have to burn a lot of credits (money) for a minimal chance of success. And to make matters worse, many of the women you're communicating with are fake profiles created by Ashley Madison to get you to spend more money. It's a real mess.

I got burned by Ashley Madison, and it was expensive. I also had a bad experience with another site called adulthookup.com, which I would advise you to stay away from. After the hack, I was relieved that I only purchased the cheap package, so my losses were minimal.

The scam on Ashley Madison is that you have to purchase credits, and then they use all kinds of gimmicks to get you to spend them. For example, they have a "wink" feature that is free, but if you use it, you'll get a response saying that you have to write a message instead, which costs money. They also have pop-ups indicating that someone wants to chat with you, but if you respond, it costs money. It's all very sneaky.

As someone who works in QA, I noticed a lot of inconsistencies in the search results. The lists of women would change from day to day, which was suspicious.

My advice to anyone considering Ashley Madison is to keep looking. Don't let your ego get the best of you. There may be a legitimate site out there, but this is not it. And if you're tempted, remember that the hackers who breached Ashley Madison showed that there are only a couple hundred real women on the site. The "hot babe" you're talking to could very well be a fat, hairy, dumpy guy. It's not worth the risk.
