Ashley Madison Review
A strange name for a dating site and an unusual site it is. Ashley
Madison is specifically aimed at people looking outside their monogamous
relationships to safely find a partner for an affair or fling. Not
that this notion is rare with dating online, its just that most
dating sites don't admit to how many married members they have.
AshleyMadison.com has made quite a name for itself in the USA, Canada
and UK, with TV commercials and features on chat shows. Emphasis
is very much on privacy and discretion
Signing Up to Ashley Madison
First impression of the Ashley Madison dating site for married
people seeking affairs is that the designer must have been colour
blind. For a dating site that claims to have been around since 2002
and has such a large membership they really should hire a decent
web designer.
Design aside the site seems to be very concerned with its members
privacy which I suppose is important if you plan on cheating through
a dating site. Before signing up as a member you cannot search the
site but its a simple enough process to get a free membership. All
that you need to provide is an email address and basic details about
yourself.
As a member you can search and browse profiles but most members
choose to keep their profiles and images private, giving only basic
information until they choose to reveal more. As a member you can
keep your photos hidden and then give individual members a private
key to view your private showcase.
There are two payment options on Ashley Madison and neither is
cheap. You can buy a unlimited membership which works more like
a traditional monthly subscription or you can use a type of 'pay
as you go' system, buying credits 100 credits cost $55 USD
COST PER FEATURE:
Mail Message - 5 credits (Subsequent mail messages
to that member are free)
Note: There is no cost to send mail-messages if you have a flat
rate package.
Priority Mail: 2 credits

Instant Messaging
20 minute instant message session - 10 credits
40 minute instant message session - 15 credits
60 minute instant message session - 20 credits
You can also transfer credits to another member if you wish to
be a Gentleman or Gentlewoman
Features for full members are Instant Messaging, Mail Messaging,
Winks, Priority Mail, Advanced Search
Ashley Madison Conclusion
Ashley Madison is a petty unique dating site. If you
are looking for a discreet affair online or offline this could be
just the site for you. If you can't stand purple and slightly fuzzy
graphics stay away though. Ashley Madison seems quite expensive
and I cannot vouch for the validity of all the members but it does
place great emphasis on privacy and if I was seeking an extra marital
affair I would feel a lot safer on Ashley Madison rather than posting
my picture on some tacky free or cheap web site were it might end
up either in 25 other databases or listed in goggle images. |
