In my recent experience with Ashley Madison I found that few women respond to even the most nicely written messages. I am 90% certain that many ads are written by women who are just doing it for the entertainment value and have no intention of actually hooking up with a man. And some ads are obvious scams, such as women claiming to be older but posting pictures of 20-somethings. I got one just yesterday.
The same is true of regular dating sites. I have been off and on Match.com, Zoosk, POF and other similar sites. I have seen the profiles of the same women over and over again for long periods of time (sometimes years) and on more than one site at a time. These are NOT ugly women some are quite beautiful and desirable....yet5 somehow they stay single for years. I can't believe that all they get are messages from creeps, fakes and losers....there are genuinely good men looking for partners too. WTF?
AM even admits they run robots, for quality control, wink wink. AM is a waste of money. Why give it away free when they can sell it on sugar babe sites.
I did not know that AM admits to using bots to increase traffic...but I doubt it's "quality control" as much as justifying advertising rates and fees.
For the record, other dating sites do the same thing, Zoosk in particular since they are advertising heavily on Facebook. Looks as though money is more important than customer service or satisfaction. I recently joined Seeking Arrangements on a recommendation on here. One of the women I corresponded with told me that more than half the men's profiles are fakes or scammers.....I've found that at least half of the women are gold diggers, not sugar babies. Nothing is sacred anymore.
I tried AM a number of years ago and found it useless because of all the bots. The "pay for each thing you want to do" model sucks and encourages this. I'd wake up in the AM and find a message sent at 2:30 in the morning from some hot 23 year old saying something like "Damn, I love your profile and I saw you on just now but by the time I messaged you, you were already gone! Get back to me and we can chat". Meanwhile the latest I was ever signed in was 10 PM.
I'd rather use a site like Married Secrets where you pay for a month or whatever, and have can do anything and have full use of the features. Trouble is the pool of available candidates is small.
Not sure you need to dispute the science when it clearly implies that 30% of cheating women do cheat for variety.
That doesn't mean 30% of Ashley Madison will be women, however. Because due to the mismatch between males wanting variety versus females wanting variety, there is money to be made. Hence prostitution and sugar babes. Such women have no need of sites where they are expected to give it away free.
