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.

You don't need to pay money to see what the site is all about. Just sign up as a woman, it's all free. Some functionality is broken though because it's actually not made for women to use. I created several fake profiles in different cities with pics of attractive women I found on the web. I put no effort into my profile at all, just posted some pics. I got hundreds of propositions, about a third of which came with $#*! pics. There is chat functionality but it's absolutely hideous. Message functionality is also garbage. It's like some high schooler threw together a simple plaintext message and chat system for his friends, it's that unsophisticated. The site overall looks like it was made in the late 90s. Anyway, if I did respond to the men, many seemed to be overjoyed to get any response at all. A few even said that they signed up for a paying membership just to chat with me. One told me that I had completely reinvigorated his outlook on life (after two short message exchanges). It was terribly sad. As someone who has been on the internet for 20 years and has seen a lot of god-awful websites, my impression of AM is that it is the most pathetic e-commerce site ever created. The only reason that it can actually continue to exist is because there are so many perfectly intelligent men who can't help but think with their $#*!s as soon as they are presented with what they think is a truly discreet sexual encounter. The owners of those $#*!s tend to be easily separated from their money.
All you stupid religious $#*!s judging everyone. You are the stupidest people. Have you ever even thought about the $#*!ed words that exit your mouth. "Burn in hell?" Someone told you this bull$#*! when you were a kid and you have been too short-sighted and $#*!ed to ever question such a ridiculous notion.
The biggest problem I have with the breach is invasion of privacy. The digital age we live in has made it too easy for any and everybody to access your personal information. We could argue morality and ethics all day long, but no crimes were committed. Although it may be one of the Ten Commandments depending on your beliefs, committing adultery is not against the law. We are not talking about crimes against children. This is about encounters between consenting adults. I think it is wrong to expose people in this way. The government, corporations and the "morality police" needs to stay out of people's business. There has to be a line drawn. What next? If I was one of the person's exposed, I would consider taking legal action. But I don't feel the ones stupid enough to use a work computer have a leg to stand on. We have got to take back our rights. Everybody has skeletons in their closet. Outing people this way serves no purpose.
Now what,,,, cheaters are going to sue the website or 'whine whine whine' because they're getting exposed or fearful of getting exposed. Maybe they should have been honest with their wives and girl friends in the first place that they're not happy in their marriage or not happy with their sex life, before forking out a credit card and being the slime balls that they are.
Worthless. NO "customer service". Deceptive rates... READ THE FINE PRINT before clicking! Terrible "security"... NO PRIVACY... Cannot be trusted!
I was on there one month last year. I found most of the profiles to be fake. I would guess about 3 to 1 were fake. And of the one's that were real, about half of them were prostitutes, call girls and women looking for sugar daddys. Plus, no one is talking much about this aspect of the recent hack. The women never paid to be on there so it was a perfect fishing expedition for hookers... real women could easily find men on there so I'm not surpirsed that women love the site. They just don't see all sides of it I suppose...
All the bible thumpers and people hating on people who using websites like these should one, understand that people who are cheaters, want to cheat or are thinking about it, will do it regardless of web based sites. Second, is it any of our business what others do, no its not. If you've been cheated on, because of any of the websites like AM, you likely should be more focused on fixing your obviously crappy relationship or kick the $#*! out of your life. Posting useless hate on a web page because of your belief in the giant sky wizard or because your upset does nothing to help you, because people will do what they want anyways. Perhaps you should be more focused on why whoever hurt you did what they did and try and fix it or find a better person. Rant over.
You write to women (fake profiles?), they write you back asking for more messages that cost you credits ($) and nothing happens, no meetings. That is ashleymadison.com in a nutshell
This site is nothing more than SIN with a price tag. The ultimate price these adulterers will pay is to GOD! Women are totally free and it is so easy for a woman who is feeling neglected to find a man willing to do anything they want cause the men on there have been desperate to find a REAL woman to hook up with! My wife admitted to being on there and allowed me to view her profile. She never Metin person anyone but DID engage in some nasty messaging via email. (I was also able to read). She deleted it before Ifound out but was able to easilyreactivate it just by calling them. It was never TRULY deleted just hidden from others on there. My wife and I have become very close since then and I am certain it will never happen again. However... the pain is still there and this site has helped ruin THAT part of my life. If you are on this site... LEAVE NOW! I almost went on a killing spree because of it!
Thankyou Clinton hart for changing my spare tyre on the forest highway, my husband struggled being elderly good luck with your business young man.
I am a woman using AM and I am sure it is a lot different than being a man. Male users might be more lucky using other sites like Saphrina because it is not as costly and still offers good quality.
My experience is basically good with AM. As a woman It is free to use. Only problem is that once you join you will be totally "bombed" with mails and pictures. And most guys don't know what they are doing. They send pictures which most women do not want to see. They write messages which most women do not want to read!.
Once you filtered the perverts from the gentlemen you will be very fine.
Tell me why someone in Los Angeles wants to meet a guy in Alabama... They took my money and I didn't get kissed... I will never buy anything again from those crooks
Women- there are a lot less of us on here than there are men, which is to our advantage. Put up your profile and they will come in droves. The men I have met are all professional, successful, attractive men and you can really pick and choose between them. I have had one three year affair, one two year affair, and several shorter term things. I love the site! My husband has not been as lucky. There are so many men it is difficult to stand out and get a woman's attention. I got over 700 messages the first few days after I signed up. Impossible to read through them all, which is why people are reporting that they don't get responses. My husband is not very assertive on the site. One of my lovers has had a lot of success because he tried. He actively messaged women, and several responded over the years he has been a member.
Would love to see all the names that joined your site!
If you truly are using this site for affairs... you all are terrible people who will burn in Hell. Shame on you. I pray your spouse catches you or someone rats each and every one of you out. If I could... I so would! You are all very terrible people for being married and having to go out and $#*! something else. Pigs! Any self-respecting man or woman would NEVER cheat. If they are that terrible... divorce $#*!ers. Not that hard. "Oh... but the kids..." $#*! your kids cause obviously you hate them if your screwing other people aside from their mommy. Yeah I said it. What would you do if it was YOUR daughter on this site $#*!ing every man? Then again... if you mess around... you probably would do your own daughter too. No surprise coming from people like you all.
All they do is send fake messages to you which are blurred out so you join up to read them. Then they send you daily emails with pictures of people way outside your search parameters, anything to get you to sign up (for money). Then they want your credit card number to join (instead of PayPal). Way harder to cancel recurring charges on a credit card than with PayPal. Stay away from this site.
I am a female with a disabled husband. Loved this site. Found a long term paramour that I adore. Ladies, you will have lots, of guys to choose from. I wanted some one who wanted more than a short term relationship. Be honest about what you are looking for. My guy was on the website 9 months before he found me. He did have one casual date that did not work out. We are both in our 60s! Pure Joy!
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!
