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.

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 have been a member since 2013. There are so many fake profiles, what is worse is that is costs money every time you write to one of them. So the more fake profiles they create, the more likely you are to write to one of them. It is so rare to get any response. It's hard to believe they are still in business. Once I use up my credits, I'm leaving.

I have used AshleyMadison.com some years ago before I discovered Saphrina.com and honestly, I always liked it and I managed to have an affair with some women I met. IMO there are only two or three good affair dating sites and this sure is one of em!

Site is alright, some obvious fakes (definitely more fakes than nostringsaffair.com) but there easy to spot. Good for using on mobile and easy to use overall. Be better if there were as many women as guys but suppose thats too much to ask even tho I heard its free for women (which is a bit unfair).

8 out of 10
May 2, 2016

Really good affairs site, Id go as far as saying its as almost as good as Nostringsaffair.com, which ive used successfully for months now. Its great to have wo good options after wasting my time (and money) on so many other cheater sites that dont come close in terms of number of females, scammers, value for money, etc. Its not perfect of course I go plenty of business trips without getting lucky, but you cant expect sex on demand when youre a guy on a dating site, I dont care how good looking you are! So overall im pleased I ignored a lot of really bad reviews and gave the site a shot.

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.

As a married man I only have certain opportunities to hookup with a sidedish. Even though I have had some good chats, ive not had enough replies from women to be able to find a date/ time to meet up. Its a bit frustrating as this site is meant to be the best, but so far Id say it falls short of the other one ive tried which was called nostringsaffair.com. Its encouraging that there are real women on the site of course, but Id just like more so that I could meet a women at short notice, as its hard to make plans in advance when you have a family and so its best to flexible and be able to take advantage of the opportunities that come along eg wife decides on a whim to take kids to the mother in laws for an evening or something like that, then just jumping online and getting someone to play away from home with would be ideal in these situations. So more women would mean more chance to do that.

Not bad
April 18, 2016

This site isnt perfect but as a woman I dont pay (Im on NostringsAffair.com too as its also free), so im probably a bit less critical than most lol! Ive spoken to a few guys but not met anyone yet that id be willing to risk meeting up with in person. Im hoping that will happen before long, but at the moment the guys that have sent me messages are generally unattractive or just completely gross just because I want an affair doesnt mean you can speak to me like im a ten dollar hoe! The site seems secure though, I wouldnt use it otherwise. Its also really easy to search for people nearby, so it does everything you need.

You get out the effort that you put in! I consider AshleyMadison.com one of the best sites of its kind! It is a little more expensive than comparable sites like Saphrina.com but if money is not an issue you strongly suggest to use both sites! You need to remember that women are outnumbered on those kind of sites. Seek and you will find!

Worth it
April 10, 2016

There's a lot of "noise" on this site, and it's true: you will find some escorts, some fake profiles, and some African scammers. But beside Saphrina, this is the only site which will give you access to real women seeking affairs!

The trick here is: Just be patient! It's a numbers game. I takes some time to create a good profile and upload nice pictures.

AM is a little expensive but it is worth it! I have met several real nice women on here! Of course there are more male users! But it is not true that there are no real women on AM! Trust me! Again: I have actually met women on here!

I don't care what all the other people say: There are hundreds and maybe even thousands of affair sites and only two sites worked for me: AM and Saphrina! Give it a try: It is worth it!

My review
April 8, 2016

Those giving the totally negative reviews are probably guys who click on every message they get believing it to be genuine. There are definately fake profiles on ALL THE SITES but they are definately easy to spot. Why complain about the charge to delete the profile? Why not just stop using it? Unless you were dumb and put something on it that identifies yourself. It is possible to be successful without spending too much. I've had few affairs with women I met on AM and NoStringsAffair.com. Don't be fools and you'll get lucky!

Ok

I like AM, its really simple to use. Another site I tried recently was NostringsAffair.com after reading some good reviews. Their concept actually look quite similar but in reality NSA is cheaper to use. But anyway, nothing wrong with AM as an option for beginners to affairs dating.

Beware, before you open an account with AM, that most of AM is composed of women/men who just establish profiles desiring to sell you private sexual webcam sessions. So for the most part, AM is really an extension of the PORN industry. I would say 99% of the communication from people having reviewed your profile on AM is for the sake of trying to sell you of some sort of PORN.

Yes, it's not all bad. There are real people ( married and unmarried) who actually sign on to meet other people with or without the expectation of a sexual encounter and cheating their spouses but they are far outnumbered by the PORN sellers. There are also many who sign on for the sheer entertainment value of the website communications with no intent of seeking another person either for coffee or sex. To each his own, I guess. But I would think that there are far better and cheaper ways of meeting people. So don't expect AM community to be a solution to your desire to confront loneliness and to meet people of the opposite sex with the idea of establishing healthy long term relationships. Jumping into AM with the idea of finding a good woman to date is kind of like jumping out of a boat and trying to catch a fish with you bare hands.( not too likely)

Beware... DO NOT use a credit card for anything within AM. There are too many risks such as automatic renewals and outside activities that you may decide to participate in.
I used a Walmart gift card to purchase my credits and I plan on terminating my account before they run out. Don't give them a credit card to charge.
