Ashley Madison Reviews Summary

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.

I have been actively using affair websites like Ashley Madison or Saphrina for years and never really understood why so many guys did not manage to have an affair using those sites. I mean you have a place with literally millions of men and women all looking for an affair. It won't become any better. Let me show you how to be successful on Ashley Madison or on any other affair website:

1 - Never take pictures of your p#$#* or even mention the size of it on your profile and never send any other nasty pictures. Believe it or not but women don't get turned on by those pictures! If a woman asks you to send out pictures you can do that of course but doing it without being asked for will result in instant rejection. Trust me!

2 Work on your profile and create a nice one. I can't believe guys don't even add a picture and expect women to answer their messages. And you username should be something nice, nothing too sexual. Try to be a gentleman and avoid names like BigD#$*2017 and IwillF#$*UallNight.

3 Don't send out boring messages like Hi and Hey There or Hey, whats up?! And Wanna chat?! And also avoid naughty messages in the beginning. Don't be rude! Once again: Be a gentleman!

4 Double or tripple your chances if you were not lucky on one site. Saphrina, Victoria Milan or MySecretAffairs are some good options for that. If you weren't lucky on one site simply move on to the next one. Most sites have an unevenly distributed member base throughout many regions and countries. So no matter what it makes sense to join several sites and check them out.

5 - Avoid dating sites and apps whose puprose is not to arrange an affair. Waste of time. Affair webstes have a member base with people who know that you are married and they are okay with this!

Hope that helps a little!

A lot of 'women' who visit your profile over and over. Beware of them! Seems like some of them are not real. Been using it for a month but doubt I will continue!

Nice guys
December 11, 2017

Hi, i have been on and off Ashley Madison over the past few years. I live in the UK, I am single and have found the men on this site really nice and intelligent. I have tired to find decent men on traditional dating sites but find most men are game players. At least on AM I know what they want.

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!
November 16, 2017

I spent nearly £200 on this site sending out messages. The only replies I got were from hookers. Everything is a money trap. 90% of the profiles are fake, generated to take your money. STAY AWAY! SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!...

Hi, is this thing on? OK, basically i've figured out after a looooong time that these sites do work if you follow certain rules, for example:
1 use a good site with good reviews (e. G this one or nostringsaffair.com both rank high)
2 avoid sites that you've never heard anything good about (or anything about period)
3 ALWAYS run a search in your area to see results before you get sucked into paying
4 spend time on your profile and dont copy n paste intro messages, women see thru that jazz
5 when you find a good site dont stop looking, this game is cheap for what youre getting so use multiple sites. Called the law of averages guys;-)
Thank me later & feel free to add me to your xmas card list hahaha. V x

My review
November 11, 2017

The reputation kept me from buying credits for a while but when I finally decided to pay things got good.

But let me clarify: I'm a wealthy, decent looking man who takes care of his body. I've had success on three other affair /adult dating sites; Saphrina, Aff and another one who I will not name because I don't particularly like it. So I know what I am doing.

Buttom line; You need to buy credits if you expect results. It can be a little pricey but can b worth it. If you are not decent looking things will become a little tougher. Be prepared to lower your expectations.

Be careful
November 3, 2017

I am a successful, 47year old. On this site, you have to watch out for whatever seems too good to be true. Many young, beautiful girls will contact you, and you pay the site (in coins) to reply. Recently, a woman who was supposedly 29, connected with me and we were soon sexting and Skyping while she masturbated. She tried to get me to show her my $#*!. Fortunately, I did not, because she recorded our skype and tried to blackmail me! Just be careful, please.

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.

ACE!:-)
October 5, 2017

Some things need a bit of controversy to become the best they can be airlines (think United), cars (think skoda used to be pretty much hated and nowadays has shed that image), donald trump (ok, the jury's still out on that one my fellow americans!) and now cheater/ affair dating sites. I like the new ash mad. I've been using nostringsaffair.com for years and had a lot of luck on it and tho id never stop using that site, I am now considering paying the extra membership fee for ash mad because it really aint half as bad as I was expecting. I like when companies come back stronger and I really do think that could be the case here folks. Check it out!

This has to be one of the biggested scam website with a lot fake female profiles. Out of 100 massages sent only 2 replied in 2 month period. Once you purchase a good amount of credits, you will get a lot of massages or winks in the beginning to make you use up your credits to send massages. Of course, you not going to get any massages back almost 90% of those female profiles are fake. Do not wast your time. I had a better luck on CL with free posts

No site is perfect!
October 1, 2017

One guy wrote that it takes time and commitment to have success with this site and I can't agree more.

But let's face the hard facts here: 90-95% of all cheater websites are a waste of time! There are only a few sites which are worth joining such as Ashley Madison and Saphrina and every guy joins those sites looking for an affair. No big secret that there is a surplus of men and only patient guys get rewarded. That's just the way it works!

If you are looking for a quick 24h-hookup this site ain't the best place to find it. Ashley Madison DOES WORK but it sure ain't perfect. Sure you can also check out Saphrina but don't expect faster results. It also works but same story here: Patience!

Have tried it w/very poor results. The ratio is of men to women is the typical adult dating 20 to 1 so you need to have some game and lots of luck. Don't wan tot forget to mention the 'Activation Fee' which is just a big joke.

Nah
September 28, 2017

As soon as u join u get messages like "xxx has indicated she is interested in someone just like you. You should send her a custom message to connect." so the user is not interested in me but in someone like me? Aha! And over 50 million members? Are you sure? How many of them are active? You know what: i am not buying it!
