The overall reputation of Ashley Madison is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to the prevalence of fake profiles and perceived scams. Many users express frustration over the high costs associated with the platform, which they feel exploit their desire for genuine connections. While some customers report occasional success in meeting partners, the overwhelming sentiment is negative, highlighting concerns about financial exploitation and inadequate customer support. Despite its established brand presence, the company struggles to address these critical issues, leading to a lack of trust and a recommendation to avoid the service.

AM actively edits your profile. I had stated that I would not respond to "ladies" who didn't look at my profile before winking or messaging me. Yet when I checked later on, the posted words were deleted. Also, I find it strange that the "winks" I had sent out were all received by the "ladies" within 2 or 3 minutes of each other. Could be an automated system whereby software my "winks" were relayed to the "ladies" who then proceeded to tease me costing me many, many credits as they never answered back. That could be due to the fact that many of the "ladies" are not FULL members but only guests* in AM's system. I have learned from this fiasco 2 times already. There'll not be a strike 3! So, save your hard earned money and go elsewhere. In closing, you will find there is no way to verify the positive reviews they have. *Guests aren't able to read contact info I had provided in my messages, unless they buy credits themselves. Live and learn!
It is a terrible shame that they have so many fake profiles that are set up just to keep the man spending money on messages that go nowhere. In 1 case I know very well of, a "woman's" profile was told that the messages would stop if she was not willing to take their contact to a free chat site. The "woman" then directed the man, a very close friend of mine, to a "profile verification site" which wanted his credit card details and a hefty monthly fee but on further investigation my friend found the profile verification site to be a bogus scam.
I have been on Ashley Madison's "Friends with Benefits" site for more than 2 months and can not yet say I have found a single genuine profile.
This is very disappointing because I am certain there are many profiles that are genuine but you just can't be sure. I think the best way to know is to, from the very first, ask the other party to chat with you on a free chat app of their choice. I can not see any reason for them not to be willing to do this if they are genuine.
75 buks for 5 messages.
Wat a fukn disgrace...
Don't waste ya money on this scam site...
These lizards basking in the sun.

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!
The site is nothing more than a money pit. To communicate between two members, BOTH members have to spend 50 plus dollars in order to read what is sent and received. Listen to the 1 star reviews and stay away from his money pit of a site. The site algorithm picks random users and acts like they viewed your profile or sent you a message which is only a plot to get you to spend a lot of money for nothing. This is a false site with no chance of meeting anyone.
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!
All well known affair sites like Ashleymadison, Saphrina, or whatever ain't that bad at all. Only problem is that you will usually have a pretty bad male-female-ratio. Only the very best profile wins. They are still worth checking out though, especially Ashleymadison still has many members. If you ain't lucky also check out fwb sites like Casualsexonly. Works pretty well if you are straight and honest in your profile. Hope that helps.
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.
Not a bad way to spend the commute to work, chatting to married women about getting together for fun. Works fine for me when I spend time on it. A bit like nostringsaffair.com, reliable and good numbers. 7 outta 10
You are married, kids, and successful career.
By putting your profile at AM, you are basically bare naked in public waiting for being taken advantage of. What would bad people would do? If you don't know the answer to this question, you are just miserable fools. AM is sea of shark looking for innocent Joe who is gambling his life for one night sex. Never give your real picture, real name, real phone number. Get a monger phone if you need. You might lose entire social life, marriage, kids, reputation at one single blow by these fake people. Get threatened after sharing all of your real info with someone sitting behind the monitor who is not hot sexy blonde.
Not worth it. Save your money. Just go to a local swingers or sex club. You get more bang for the buck. Seriously.
These women on AM are pretentious, fake and gold diggers.
None of the id's are real. They only push you to buy credit and send msg. Minimum use is 5 credit par msg. Why the hell you created a '5 credit' base?! My Ad Profile Number: *******
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.
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!
Wanted to try this site out, it's partially legit, but mainly a scam. They send you messages saying they are from a user, these are canned messages that are not from a real person, their system sends out these messages. Was able to chat with a couple women, out of 100 a few are real, and these ladies were expensive sugar babies. Most profiles are bogus, and most the negative reviews here are true.
Like most sites of this type once you join you have to purchase credits to communicate with anyone, ie, read messages, view pics and or respond to messages.
My experience was that all communications from people on this site were setup to get you to purchase credits, because you cannot read messages unless less you have credits, then they continue to send you messages to get you to use up your credits.
I am not sure if the pics and profiles are real or fake but I don't think it matters as the soul purpose is to create an environment to legally take your money.
It was kind of funny that I would get messages from someone on the other side of the US, the profiles did not even have a pic, saying they were interested in me. Kind of tells me it is a poorly designed algorithm.
I would advise to stay away from this site.
Quite a few tarty slappers n hot wives on here to ogle, no doubt lolz! Im meeting up with one on thurs so hoping ill be in ball deep by the end of the week. My strategy is to use nostringsaffair.com together with Ash Mad + put some effort into that shizzle. It's the only way, bros! And keep the missus away from the laptop ha!
Works just fine if you are persistent and invest time and patience in a decent looking profile. AM never really disappointed me but it won't hurt to check out smaller sites like MysecretAffairs as well. However, if you are from a rural area AM is pretty much the only option for you. Just my opinion though.
Ashley Madison about 90% of the profiles are fake and rest 10% hook ups are possible but with hookers charging you around £200, be ware it is all fake, you will end up loosing loads of money as the credits are manipulated to clear as soon possible. Better off connecting for free at Badoo.com
First, I'm an older married guy. In great shape, not so bad to look at, No hunk either. So I'm torn, give it a 1 for the many fakes, give it a 5 for the 4 ladies I've laid, including 1 one night stand with 4 hours notice. Guys outnumber girls, obviously. I've tried other sites and have also scored on miss travel, POF, and badoo, I've had my longest lasting fling from POF, 10 years and counting. And a gal I met on badoo saw me every time I visited her city for 8 years. It takes lots of credits to message lots of girls to weed through the fakes. Is it worth the money? NO, every guy should stay away. I will gladly meet every one of the real women on here instead of competing with you.
Answer: Guys, it should not be so complicated to reach out to a girl for a hook up! You can find thousands of them on https://j4l.com/402007 They will contact you themselves, you don't have to put in any efforts if you want to have some fun time online. Or you just need to travel to them but it will be very rewarding, exciting and, what's essential, safe and SECRET experience!
Answer: Cops won't entrap you on AshleyMadison, they don't care. But you wife probably does. Often, she is worse than cops! Lol It's impossible to stay anonymous on AM - it's a well-known site. If you want to keep your affair secret, look for a safer platform, e.g. http://J4Love.net I had two affairs through their service. It was safe, private, unknown to the world and tremendously hot!
Answer: Kind of expensive because they charge by credits. There are cheaper solutions (vm, saphrina, some aff sites)...
Answer: Well, basically you purchase credits and you spend them every time you message someone...
Answer: This site is free for women, which i believe is a big problem. That is why many "professionals" join and try to make you join other sites, cam sites, etc. On sites like vm, saphrina, etc women usually pay as well which is good for the quality of the female profiles. But i guess if you are a woman you should rather join AM.
Answer: The question shouldn't be is it real, but is it worth it. If even one man/woman managed to have an actual affair through Ashley Madison, you could say that it's real. If for every 1 real affair/hookup there are 100's or 1000's of fake users to slog through all the while you're giving them your hard earned money... does that sound like it's worth it?
Answer: If it walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck what is it? Going to church has gotten people laid more than Ashley Madison.
Answer: Bill, this website is not owned by Ashley Madison. If you need to contact them you can call their toll free number 1-866-742-2218. Good luck!
