Guys, we need to band together because it looks like we've had pretty much the same experience with Ashley Madison; the pattern is consistent.
Hardly any men rave about their Ashley Madison experience - it's so rare in fact that I wonder if those glowing reviews are actually fake.
If we stopped giving Ashley Madison our hard earned money, it would either go out of business or be forced to adjust its business model.
*** Guys, we're not going to find what we're looking for on Ashley Madison (okay, maybe .0001% will).
Besides, with the war against men in this country, I'm not even sure if pursuing something on Ashley Madison is smart; at this point, I certainly wouldn't pursue anything without a consensual agreement that is kept as a matter of record between both parties; (I think there's an app for that). {And "no", I'm not an attorney.}
I'm willing to bet that only about one gentlemen in a 1000 has a satisfying experience on AM.
After being on Ashley Madison for almost TWO years, my conclusion is that it's a waste of my precious time and hard-earned money, not to mention that it's sexist and demeaning towards men.
The attitude towards men is appalling; very disrespectful. I'm just speaking for myself - I can't speak for you.
These are some of Ashley Madison's downsides, in my opinion:
1) Too many scammers and fake profiles.
2) More and more sugar babies, escorts and body rub girls are using the site. I have no issue with these beautiful girls but I think they should advertise where men are searching for these services and experiences.
3) An unhealthy ratio of females to males that demotivates the women.
4) But the biggest problem is the attitude of the women. Like you, I often favorite someone so I can easily find her later should I decide I'm actually interested, because if I am interested right now, I'll message them right now. But you know the drill, this the common reply we get (and I'm not even looking for a reply)
"I get too many winks. Please send a full message and a picture and I'll let you know if I'm interested."
Really? That's pretty arrogant and rude in my book. And yet, we put up with it?
Not me. Not anymore.
By the way, I'm not putting my picture up and I'm certainly not sending it without a conversation first and getting a picture from her too; it's about mutual respect and fairly managing risk for all parties.
I'm not saying that there aren't beautiful women on Ashley Madison who know how to be kind and respectful...but I wonder how many of them are actually on A.M?
Thanks for listening to me vent, fellas. It's pretty frustrating.
Here's what I'm thinking of doing, interview and seek a confidential arrangement with a beautiful, engaging, affectionate and respectful lady who is interested in being a sugar baby. Sure, it's only temporary and will cost a little money, but isn't that true of anything in this "dating" world?
Many romantic relationships are based on some form of trade anyway, sadly, so why continue being disappointed and frustrated by the women on Ashley Madison who pretty much just objectify men anyway? In fact, just the other day I saw a female's profile that said, "I'm using this as my candy store. I'm looking for ______. Please send a pic and I'll let you know if I'm interested."
It's a form of misandry.
But I digress...
I think you're better off saving your money and go find what you're looking for on a site like Eros.
At least you'll know what you're getting, the girls are gorgeous, motivated, and you can find reviews about them on other sites in order to protect yourself against the scammers and thieves, plus you'll have a fun time.
Good luck, fellas. I wish you all the best in your relentless quest for romance, affection and love. Many women mistakenly think that all men are looking for is sex. For me, nothing could be further from the truth. All I know is this, I won't find what I'm looking for on Ashley Madison.
Peace.
