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.

AshleyMadison.com is one of the very best sites you will find. But it has some issues: To be honest, it is really a very slow and of course expensive process to hook up. As I experienced you will achieve faster results on some other sites, like Saphrina.com and some AFF sites.
After all, I have been lucky on Ashley Madison as well! But again: It takes patience and some cash.
I created a blank profile and I received 12 messages which I could not read without paying. 12 messages?! No, thanks, I don't by it!
I'll give a try to nostringsaffair.com and other sites recommended here and then leave my reviews
UPD: as it's been planned, I created my profile on nostringsaffair.com to check if it is any better then AM and it surely IS! Check out my review on http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.nostringsaffair.com#20
Tried few affair sites and here's what I figured out: AM looks great site before you pay, then you will get conversations with someone, but who knows who they are. After a while when your nearly out of credits they just stop replying. Also the ones whose profile you have checked out, just happen to be the ones allways on line, funny how they never reply though. I didn't want to keep paying, so I left the site.
This site has many fake profiles and is aimed simply to extort money from its paid subscribers
Many fake profiles on this site. Wasn't able to meet with one single woman but I chatted with a few! Maybe it was me that I wasn't lucky! Don't know if there are A N Y good sites out there where you will actually DATE REAL women. Maybe I will try this new site Candilyn.com but for now I am pretty frustrated about what is going on many sites.
I've tried almost all affair websites and AM is one of the best I found so far. It may not be as good as Saphrina because you will find more fake profiles on AM and it is still more expensive. But after all AM has REAL members on their site! Don't pay attention to all the haters who claim that AM is a fake website
AM is full of fake profiles, as much as any other dating site is (ok maybe a little bit more due to its popularity), but if you're not stupid, you can easily recognize and ignore them.
I travel a lot and AM and nostringsaffar.com are the sites I use for my discreet adventures (using both of them just doubles up my chances and also there could be lack of members on AM in some areas, while there's enough of them on nostringsaffair and vice versa).
Jioned am and almost instantly contacted by strippers wanting you to go to another site and join and watch them, was recently supprised to be contact by a 26 year old female working in Nigeria as a nurse with the UN, pictures and all turned out to be a Nigerian scam for money. This site is a place for strippers to pick up new clients and now Nigerian scammers to target people, girls uou may see a photo but you don't have any idea if its him or a nigerian targeting you
Ashley Madison is a complete utter total scam. I have been a subscriber and lost GBP 65.00
The people running it should be in prison. You have been warned.
Become a member by all means but don't give them your bank card details and see what happens.
Maybe the largest site for extramarital affairs, but maybe not the best site. I prefer Saphrina.com because you don't have to buy expensive credits. But it is mostly no scam!
I have tested AshleyMadison for a period of 6 months. But that was some time ago in 2014. Right now I agree with some guys: Saphrina and maybe some other smaller sites will do a better job for now. It is absolutely not easy to hook up with people on AshleyMadison. Unfortunately, you will find plenty of fake profiles as well as you will still find many real profiles as well. As mentioned: It is not easy to hook up-especially if you are a man-but it is possible. The main problem I see is that it is kind of expensive. The so called credits are used before you even go on a date and that will be the biggest disadvantage using this site compared to other sites.
I still use it on regular basis, but to double up your chances, try nostringsaffair ;)
Can't agree that online dating is dead. There's still a lot of sites providing a great service and ashleymadison is one of the best in its field. I think they need to pay more attention to the quality of the database though. But it's not difficult to distinguish fake members from real ones.
If spending hours on separating wheat from the chaff is too much for you, try other smaller sites, which are cheaper but can still provide great results: nostringsaffair.com or saphrina.com
Not sure if online dating still exists,,,,, i think it got destroyed by scammers
I used AshleyMadison in 2013 and I really liked it back in the days. Yes, I agree with many other reviewers that Saphrina is the new "site to use" in 2015 because you will most likely find more real profiles. But AshleyMadison is one of the better affair dating sites because 90% of all the other sites are pure scam. Do not pay attention to all the negative reviews.
AM is a leader in affair niche, but it is not the same site it used to be back in the day. Agree with other guys here - nostringsaffair.com is probably the best alternative if you're looking for one.
Don't buy into these fake reviews, I did and all I did was waste my time. Total let down. Don't bother.
Many - mostly male - users complaining about AshleyMadison.com... well, why don´t you all use alternative affair websites... instead you all complain about expensive credits and hacker problems.
AshleyMadison.com is not as bad as most poeple try to tell you. Maybe there are better websites. It is all about try and error.
Seriously. Of course AM has lots of disadvantages, but we don't live in an ideal world and AM being a pioneer in extramarital affairs is even more than just OK.
Given I travel a lot for work, Ive used AM, VM and nostringsaffair.com a lot to find affairs with no strings attached while on the road. All of these sites work quite good for me. I see people complaining on lack of real members... guys, there's plenty of real women on affair sites. And given that majority of such sites are men, I personally think that fake profiles aspect is sort of natural selection :) So only smart ones will be able to get in touch with me
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!
