Ashley MadisonReviews 899

This site is packed with some very cold women who must believe they have a golden $#*!. Return emails are rare and more often as not, the rejection will come with little or no explanation. I am very polite and try to act like a gentlemen and all I expect in return is a little courtesy. I may not be the handsomest man or the cleverest but there is no need to be rude. Perhaps the women on this site prefer to be treated like dirt. BTW, the one star is for the members of AM not AM itself.

This site is packed with ugly old men that lie about their age. Some even post pictures of younger men to get a first date. Thinking you won't realize the person on the profile and the one that showed up are totally different. There are lots of cheap men, flakes and dogs on this site too. I moved to the single's dating site and I'm having a much better experience. The men are all young and available and they want to meet ASAP. They don't mind I'm married. There are a lot of young men that just want sex no strings attached, they have their own place, they have more time to see you. They can be more flexible around your time.

My issue is that I was trying it out and browsing around. I couldn't get on a lot, for obvious reasons. Then I got on one day and had all these messages from men saying, "Nice pics" The site had sent numerous access keys for my private showcase to random men. I had only added two private pics at this point, not sent the first one. It was at least 20 guys who got pics of me that I NEVER intended to send out. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ya know, I can deal with the fake profiles and all that. That's a pretty common practice. What I can't deal with is the trickery. These are some of the things they've done to trick me:

1) When I broke down to buy some credits, I clicked on the 100 Credits option. Well, when I checked out, the 500 Credit option is there (yes, I am sure I clicked the 100 credit option). You have to unselect it and rechoose the 100 option.

2) They automatically added a $19 charge for "Mobile Anytime". Whatever the hell that is. Bottom line, something I didn't want. But I caught it before I checked out.

3) After I sent my first email, I looked in sent items and noticed a flag under Priority Mail. I didn't think nothing of it, but come to find out, when you send an email, it automatically checks that Priority Mail, thus charging you double the credits to send the email.

4) Your credit history does not update as you use credits. I'm assuming this is so you don't loose track of how many credits you have.

5) I've heard a rumor that as soon as you're out of credits, it automatically renews on your card. Don't know if that's true, but buyer beware!

It's little double-cross/trickery stuff like this that will make me never visit this ridiculous site again.

I think it has some merit, I've talked to some nice women there. Yes, folks are there to "cheat" if you like that term... I doubt however if many are there because their emotional and/or sexual needs are met.

The software badly needs an upgrade, as it is pretty user un-friendly, very clunky as opposed to some others of the same genre.

Their business model sucks big time IMHO, They very annoyingly ding you for credits all the time... a then you have to buy more instead of just a monthly fee.

They treat us like children so very unimpressive.

I was on the site for about 3 years (very careful - I am single and was looking for a single/divorced or divorced FWB situation because I was lonely and had tried the more traditional dating (for LTR) sites (Match, Christian, POF) to find that they are a farce. The Entry cost of Ashley Madison is Excessive considering the support they provide, Assume $100 minimum. To write a person is $5.00 and the system is defaulted to put an priority check mark on the email as priority for an $5.00 ($10 per contact). If a member writes you "collect" and you click on it, it is another $5.00 for them to say, "sorry not interested" because there is no way to communicate it without a charge or blowing the contact off. I found that the vast majority of women who write me were prostitutes, scammers, and "sugar babies". They were quite good at responding to scammers or illegal activities. However, they only returned $5 of the $20 or so it cost me to discover that I was dealing with a Nigerian scammer (most of my membership). It cost me about $300 to meet one nice woman who was married to a husband with borderline personality disorder and needed me more as a friend than as a lover (three hundred dollars to enter the friend zone). I put my same ad on the local craigslist weeded out scam and within a couple of weeks found a woman who met my needs (her husband died in an accident and she needed an adult and a lover in her life as she worked through the issues and I needed someone who understood that I had lost my job and was not financial available (or physically available - I am taking every odd job I can find to eat). It worked much better and we have had considerable respect.

Unless you live in a major urban area, Ashley is likely to be a waste of time and money (at least for men), the real women looking for lovers are quite small so they have the pick of the liter and unless you are exceedingly tall, handsome and pretty much the kind of jerk guy that always gets laid anyway, you are unlikely to meet anyone worth your time.

Lastly most of the women on here are likely to have multiple partners... wear a condom! The women most men are looking for will pick one guy and get off the site quite quickly.

I'm a woman on the site & in a bad place in my marriage so I signed up was curious. I met men on there who wanted porn star looking women when they are hairy, old & fat! I had on my profile I was looking for a long term affair but men of types who wanted one night stands, threesomes, hit & quit would all contact me. Some men would lie about their age, height,& weight. They would even insult you by not responding to them. I met some men in person most were douche bags! I had an affair with someone for about 1 1/2 he was sweet but a cheater like me where could it go really? I don't recommend this site@ all. P. S I don't cheat anymore life is better. I'm no angel but stuff happens sometime :)
