AshleyMadison.com - Married Dating Site
AshleyMadison.com is an adult ‘meeting’ site specifically designed for a target audience that usually is not catered for – married individuals. Although singles may still join, the main purpose of the site is to match married men and women together who are looking for a discreet relationship. With over 3 million members the site draws its members in as they are all seeking the same thing from the site, and can be assured discretion. The tagline ‘Life is short. Have an affair’ simply and clearly conveys the message across.
Made popular by shows such as ‘The Tyra Banks Show’, ‘Ellen’ and ‘Dr Phil’, there is an ever growing member population, all of who enter with an ‘Ashley Madison Affair Guarantee’ which guarantees that you will have an affair when you join, or you can receive your membership money back within a specified time limit.
Free to join, and made incredibly simple, there are relatively few questions to answer, or details to provide. You can simply specify your generalised country and city of location, a valid email address, and you may make up a nick name and password of your choice. The only personal details required are weight, height, the type of person you are seeking, and also your relationship limits, including whether you want something short or long term amongst many others. There are no ‘about me’ sections, or requirements for entering detailed information about you, and the site seems incredibly genuine and sincere about providing an inconspicuous alias for yourself in order to guarantee discretion.
Although you may upload personal photographs of yourself, there are only few members who actually have chosen to upload them.
Both free and premium members can perform extensive ‘advanced’ searches which allow you to specify members in proximity of just 20 miles within your preferred location, which is far narrower than most other sites allow. Keyword searches may also be performed to specify words that you wish to appear in a member’s profile. Once a search query has loaded, it is free to view profiles in their entirety should you wish to. Free members may send winks to both free and premium members, however should a premium member respond by email, the free member may reply for free, and therefore not require an upgrade to make contact. Premium members may email or instant message other members, as well as sending the basic winks. All membership types allow you to save an individual to your list of favorites.
Members can pick and choose their ideal membership plan at any point during their use of the site, and although many choose to take advantage of the free membership which offers quite a lot of features, there is also a number of upgrade options. These allow you to choose a number of tokens, which in exchange you use for the premium features of the site. The lowest upgrade package is 100 tokens which offers 20 email exchanges or 5 hours of instant messaging. At the other end of the spectrum, 1000 tokens can be bought which offers the money back guarantee if you have not had an affair within 3 months. Although expensive, the large number of token packages allows you to have the flexibility to upgrade as and when you wish, and should you not use your account for a month or so your tokens will still remain when you next log on.
There are a number of useful and fun features of the site, some of which are unique to AshleyMadison.com. Amongst the tip and advice forums, from members and experts offering advice on how to maintain an affair and cheat, and the live and private chat rooms, there is also a ‘panic’ button which directs you to a site of movie trailers to prevent anybody unwanted snooping around at what you are doing.
Thanks to the coverage and attention AshleyMadison.com has gained recently, from US chat shows, magazines and its many visitors, the site has no shortage of members who are all eager to find someone who is seeking something similar to themselves, in a like minded and non-judgmental environment. For a well established, fun site if you are married, then AshleyMadison.com could provide you with the extra marital fun you desire.
