Guys, You MUST Show Some Class!!!!

I've reviewed AM a couple of times over the years, going back to 2018. My reviews were from the perspective of a man on AM. Now, for the last couple of years, I've had the perspective of a couple registered as a Female on AM.

Wow! Most of the guys have no clue. Don't waste your money sending "Winks" to dozens of women. No matter how handsome your picture, the woman is not going to respond if you don't send an intelligent message, responsive to her profile. My GF never looks at the Profile from a Wink.

At least a third of the guys don't have anything informative in their profiles. They only have vital statistics and even those look fudged. Say something about yourself and the type of relationship you seek. FWB is fine, but mention Respect, discretion and understanding for her needs.

There are around 30-guys for every woman, at least in my area. You MUST bring your A-game and show that you've read her profile and give reasons why there might be a connection.

Oh, don't ask for her Private images and not share your own. That's so dumb. When rebuffed, some of the really stupid ones say something like, "You can't expect me to say anything if I don't like your looks." Guys, the women MUST protect their identities and they have reason to be scared of some of the men. They need to be cautious and they're not going to share images with every stranger that asks.

The good news is that all the AM women that I've been with LOVE SEX and are good at it and want it over and over and over. Treat them with respect and do your best to please them and you'll be rewarded for your efforts.

I'm an above average looking guy can't find real women on site!

I'm an above average looking guy but in the few weeks I've been paid member of the site, I've only encountered scammers, bots and very likely AM's own employees trying to have me upgrade to the costly "Elite" level that I didn't want or need. It's all a huge scam and as soon as I use up my remaining credits, I'm out of there.

They want fake profiles.

I made a profile on Ashley Madison a few years ago and met someone so thought I would try again so I made a new profile, then all of a sudden it was gone and it said temporarily closed so I went through the steps to find out what happened then called them to prove I was real and they said I have to prove I’m human by putting my drivers license or passport against my face and sending the picture which I will never do that not only is illegal in the state it’s insanity. They said it’s a third-party that gets that not them that was even worse because if something happens to my information floating around out there, they will not be held responsible for it. in our conversation I came to realize they don’t want many real women on there because they would rather have fakes so they can scam the men out of their money so I called him out on it and he started to stutter. I laughed and said, I guess with the real women on there you’re not making as much money hmmmmm then I ask do you believe I’m human? He said yes I said what’s the problem then I just proved it to you. I continue to ask questions he couldn’t answer of course because I figured it out what they’re doing.
It is not anywhere close to the way it used to be years ago. This site supposed to be discreet but yet there’s nothing discreet about it in what they want the women to do. Women please be careful going on there.
I have tried to make two more profiles which are automatically closed so I’m going to assume that I guessed correctly about the game they are playing, It’s all about your money guys so be careful. To many other sites out there that work that you don’t have to give up your identify for but they will ask for a picture which is perfectly fine with me.
I would never recommend Ashley Madison to anyone. I don’t even like giving it a one.

I've been on Ashley Madison for the…

I've been on Ashley Madison for the first month for 32.99 and then there was a surcharge for internet access it ended up costing me $70. Then you have to buy a minimum package of credits in order to be able to receive and send messages to any of the profiles. Then there was a reoccurring charge of $32.99 on my PayPal. At which point I decided to delete the account and stop the auto pay. First off I only message maybe 6 or 7 people/profiles .Each and every one of them was very nice and wanted to text me on Whatsapp or reg ph text. and sent me all these beautiful pictures the conversation would start off going very well they were always From A Distant location area code although their profile said that they were local to me they ended up saying that they were just visiting when they wrote the profile. Even so each and every one of them ended up asking me in so many words to invest money with them as they were a financial expert or to help them through a tough time etc etc. So then I went to cancel the subscription and there's these big harsh words that your credit card will be blacklisted and all this kind of stuff on the Ashley Madison site. I am just going to say that I think the whole thing is a predatory scam site and there is no way you're really going to meet a real person on there. Maybe they are a few real profiles but I certainly had not found any

A useless waste of time and money.

A useless waste of time and money.
Received numerous favourite strikes from all around the country, but nothing locally!?!?
Full of fake profiles and liars.
Not a chance getting any intimacy or excitement with this site, could barely generate a genuine chat.

Doesn’t work for me

I’ve been on this site for 4+ months. Yet to find a real person yet. Really getting adept at spotting phonies because there are so many. For a site that “reinvented” their platform after their data breach. Not sure AM isn’t any different than any other corporation $$$$$ and we’ll look the other way. Very disappointed and about to cancel my profile.
It’s been nothing but a frustrating waste of time. And in their own defense. Online dating is full of hustlers and soulless parasites across the board. Why am I here, because where I live most of the women already have girlfriends. So buyer beware and be very careful

Great for women & not for most men

There are real women on the website, but be aware that you'll need to be patient, be willing to spend some funds, and there are scammers who will attempt to extort you. Scammers will create profiles, and they will quickly temp you to pay for a background check at a site they'll list, they ask that you send money for a new pair of eye glasses, and etc. If you're an average guy then you're going to feel rejected a lot. Women are after the guys with status, wealth, and looks. With men greatly outnumbering women by many factors, women are going to be very very picky, including women who are not as appealing. If you're a guy with youth, looks, status, or wealth then you'll do very well with more than one. If you're none of above, there's still a chance, but you're going to struggle. Just be patient, don't have high expectations, and be ready for some rejection. There are definitely some negative experiences associated with this website. If you can handle that and keep expectations real you may eventually meet someone and maybe connect. There is a way to report scammers to the site's tech support, and they do investigate, and remove scammers when they're identified. I reported more than a handful of times, and only one remained on the site after 12 hours. The problem is that scammers come back onto the site using a different profile. This is a legitimate website, but it's laced with dangers to your wallet, your psychological health, and perhaps to your existing relationships. 5 stars great website for Chad and rather a crappy 1 star for an average guy. So, 90% of guys it's horrible. For women, no matter your situation or status, it's really awesome for 95% of you. In any case, be careful using this site

Overpriced, Unbalanced, and Disappointing Experience

I joined Ashley Madison in January 2025, investing a total of £340.97, expecting a premium platform for like-minded individuals. Unfortunately, my experience has been frustrating, costly, and completely misaligned with the service advertised.
Despite reaching out to 32 women, the response rate was shockingly low—many didn’t even read my messages, while others ignored or rudely dismissed them. The platform’s pay-to-message model for men, while allowing women free access, creates a severe imbalance, leading to wasted time and money. With the high cost of initial messages and no guarantee of engagement, it quickly becomes an expensive exercise with little return.
Additionally, the lack of real-time chat features, engagement incentives, and etiquette standards makes meaningful connections nearly impossible. Ashley Madison’s marketing suggests a discreet, high-quality experience, but the reality is far from it. I would strongly caution anyone considering joining—this platform is overpriced, ineffective, and unfairly structured.
Avoid unless you enjoy throwing money away.

Ashley Madison, A cheating, fraud, and scamming website

Ashley Madison, cheating, fraud , scamming
I just click a button for read letter, nor did subscribe any else service. Then, the company deduct the money from my credit card ( the information is left when register) every month. Call them many times, there is always AI reply. Sent Emails to the services support, they can not resolve the problem.

The site as a female is not the best

The site as a female is not the best, the men can send you nude photos, offer you all types of things, and the women are automatically blocked or removed if they entertain it. The double standards is disgusting, I don’t see them being around for a long, considering all I see it’s the same men rotating in my options

It's free for women and very expensive for men which leads to tons of con artists trying to milk lonely and horny men for money and considering the data leak with the unverified robots that you are messaging it is a total waste of time scam.

Butter you up with automated fake accounts and artificial generated messages you have to pay £80.00 for the privilege and get nothing from then on. CRIMINAL.

Scam STAY AWAY!

Scam, do not waste your money on this site, It's way too expensive for the amount of work you need to do to vett these "women" I've have yet to meet someone who is local. If you do blow your cash on this, be prepared to spend your time trying to see if these people are real or scammers. The site will allow you to report them. but i think this should be on their to-do list. F that site.

Someone in the legal realm needs to…

Someone in the legal realm needs to pursue this commerce website. Million$ pouring into there online revenue for nothing. Not one single real human interaction, or no genuine profiles. People need serious help if this is their idea of entertainment. I tried it a year ago. Disaster. Again two weeks ago (and more educated) and its a sham. And the even fed me free ‘coins’, without purchase (why ? I have no clue). Bigger time wasting than even cash outlay. Don’t even open it. If its a fling you seek, your luck will be better at the bar or work. Dating? Match, eharmony, etc. I’d love to see AM’s financials. Sick but effective business model.

Don't do it relaxe don't do it 3 months worth of giving my money away

I really don't know what I was thinking the 2 time for me another $400 insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results!
All the numbers I got , were from some other state when they did answer or call you , you could tell right away.it was Ukraine or Russia or a woman's voice with an English accent with men speaking in the background are you there are you there I can't hear you I can't hear you are you there . One girl I did me she wanted me to sign my old paycheck over to her every week lol that was just a walk down the sidewalk . So to sum it all up save your money try online booty call that one actually is more legit than any of them
Happy hunting ladies and gentlemen
