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.

My take on AM
July 22, 2018

It still seems to be the most popular adultery website but it requires a lot of effort if you are a man. But besides Saphrina I don't really see any alternative to AM. So my advice: Stick to it or search your luck offline. It's that simple!

Fake profiles
July 12, 2018

A lot of click bait profiles to get you to spend your money. There is a lot of prostitution also. I was able to get 1 date

AM dating 7/10
July 9, 2018

AM is ok but I prefer nostringsaffair.com personally but each to their own. For my location it just seems to work really bloody well with a lot of genuine females looking for something a bit risky. You have to try as many sites as possible, that's the key to this game so still worth a shot IMO

When I joined I was contacted by a few women, none of which never viewed my profile. When I checked the "who viewed my profile" no one had. It would stand to reason that if someone contacts you they had to do so through your profile. Just fake contacts to suck your money out of you. On AM I responded but never heard a word from any of them. I have found all the adult websites do this.

Made contact with some they never responded.

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!

I tried this site after reading it cleaned up its fake act. From the start, all I received were automated messages designed for me to use more and more credits. As I was winding down my balance of credits, I experienced a rise in interest! Once my credits were gone, the system blocked me out of the messages I had already purchased, until of course I buy more... That got me thinking about how women experience the site, given that most (if not all) do not pay anything. I called the toll free number and spoke to an agent who confirmed that guest woman have more access than guest men! That is, women who do not pay can read and respond to messages, but men under similar circumstances get no access. This seems discriminatory and illegal. Look, it is not about being cheap, its all about integrity and honesty. There are a lot of intimacy seeking men putting their faith in a system that is clearly a scam. We cannot expect the average man to know all of this, so AM gets away with the predatory treatment of men.

Stay away
May 7, 2018

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

This is a ripoff. No one ever replies to you. You'd think that these women are looking for the same thing we are, but they never reply. A lot of times, a girl sends you a message, you pay to read it and all they say is hi. Thats it.
After spending all my inital credits and have 1 (one) legit reply, they automatically billed me for 79.
After I complained, they refunded me and guess what? 4 spectacular ladies immediately wnated to start conversation and opened up their photos. The same ladies that never replied me in the first place. And... Her face is uncovered and photos are sexually explicit. Why would married women do this?

This is a scam. I believe you could eventually score someday, but you'd have to fight through the fakes, and lose a lot of money in the process.

DO NOT use this website.

Works for me
April 30, 2018

I've been on AshleyMadison.com for about two months and met and had sex with one woman. So it really works. Now that CL Personals is gone only alternative I see is Saphrina.com or MySecretAffairs.com but your success rate here depends on your location. No matter which site you chose be patient and watch out for African scammers.

Too good to be true.
April 18, 2018

If you feel that something is too good to be true, you're probably right. I signed up and immediately got a barrage of site generated winks and messages, mostly from profiles with no pictures and no where near the age group I was looking for. To make a long sad story short, it's a complete waste of money. If you think you will get laid from someone on this site, you'd be better off to invest in a nice bottle of lube and start stroking yourself.

98% of the ads are site generated fake ads! You will get many replies that are "bot" auto messages saying " send me a message" and then the ad vanish! Nine times in a row! Come on now. And if you really pay attention, all of the ads are written the same!

What a rip off
March 27, 2018

Do not waste your money on this site. So many fake profiles and not one real member. Have been contacted by numerous women who want you to join other sites. Unbelievable.

AM has changed a fair bit and its looking like a top choice but if you aint using nostringsaffair which is a gr8 site that doesnt cost you and arm and a leg, then you need to be broadening those horizons and checking that out. Mark S (37)

I've always had much better luck with sites like Ashley-Madison and Saphrina than with Craigslist. Never even had a single hookup from Craigslist. Dating-Apps annoy me but I use them once in a while. But they are not good enoughif you are a married man looking for like-minded women. In my honest opinion: Stick to affair websites! Even if they are flooded with Fake-Profiles you will still find someone if you stick to women of a similar age.

Only cams and scams...
February 9, 2018

Yes..." nothing good or even real... here: out of hundreds of messages I got there were:

Dozens of webcam girls (probably not even girls.) I was to pay in advance...

Webcam extortionists "we have you on video". Had to contact FBI cyber crime unit...

Safety pass sellers... "before we meet you need to buy this pass"

Girls with sudden money emergencies, they are, nicer, pretty, more elaborated, until they need a medication, book, tuition, etc on emergency basis, probably also some guy sitting in an indonesia IT shop...

One real girl... stood me up in our first non cyber date... and she was the best experience I had in AM!

I was on AM in 2015. I actually met women my age then. Now, however, I am bombarded by girls in their 20s most of whom are from other cities and even other countries. The scam is that these girls will message you and even go off site and then after teasing you with photos, they say they are in town and want to meet but first, you have to process through this site for "their" safety. It is BS. It is just a way for whoever is pretending to be that person - probably a 300 pound dude in New Jersey in his tidy whities- and once you pay the $29, the goal has been met.
Now, it is clear that AM doesn't mind these people being on the site and lets them do their scams. I have reported them before but they are worse now. AM makes money if you accept a collect message or initiate a message with them. Either way, you are burning credits and will need more if an actual flesh and blood woman actually came along. Don't waste your $50. Spend that money at a bar and you will have better luck by far.
