Yes, a little off topic but I don't know any better place to ask. Has anyone here actually had success in meeting a living person on either of these sites? Not providers necessarily, but any person?

I've heard stories that both are basically 99% horny guys and 1% fake profiles created by the companies, but I've heard other stories that people have had success with them.

PM me if you prefer not to discuss in public.

waste of time and rip off sum it up..

I think they are 99% bogus, but I have met two from AM that were very real and I had a great time with, so it does happen.

I too have met some civilian ladies via AM and had good times.  There are plenty of fakes on there, and a lot of others who are "just looking" or wind up getting cold feet...so it does take a lot of patience.  But it's definitely doable if you take the right approach.

It takes a bit of messing around, but I've had some success with Ashley Madison. There are some drawbacks; it's not a "sure thing," and you don't have much control over the timing of when you're going to get lucky. There are two kinds of women on AM, ones who feel emotionally abandoned and ones who are physically neglected by their husbands. I've found I much prefer the latter.
And remember, you're her thrill, or at least the thought of your little affair is, and after a few defilements of her marriage and episodes of playing the role of the Other Woman, the thrill is gone, so any thoughts of establishing a regular fuck buddy relationship are probably optimistic.
