What do I do after I sign up? | |
|
If you haven't completed your profile and added photos, take a few minutes to add some finishing touches so that you receive the attention you want. You can edit your profile details at any time for no charge. You can add up to 13 photos to your account. You should describe your interests and preferences for others to know more about you and what you are looking for. The more information you provide about yourself, the more appealing you will appear to members reading your profile which will lead to more success. You may begin by using the Advanced Search feature to locate members who are online and ready. When you find a member you're attracted to who is chat ready, you can initiate an instant message session, send them a wink or collect message. If you wish to initiate contact you can upgrade your membership from Guest to 'Full Member' and purchase credits so you can initiate instant messages and/or send custom mail messages. To purchase credits and upgrade your account so you can start communicating on a more personal level click the "Buy Credits" button where you can review all our discrete and convenient methods of payment. Once you make contact with one or more members, give yourself some time to get to know them better. Chat and exchange messages. Don't rush things and suggest speaking on the phone or meeting for coffee in a public place before making any further commitments. |

Are there any 'Singles' on Ashley Madison? | |
|
There are many single people on Ashley Madison that wish to meet attached people for various reasons. If you are single and wish to meet an attached person, you're probably going to have to try a little harder. Single people don't have as much to risk. We suggest that you remain patient and keep trying. People in relationships may feel that you have an upper-hand and that you may not be sympathetic to their circumstances. Take your time to build an additional level of trust with attached people you wish to meet. Alternatively, single people have more flexibility with their schedule & are usually more available. Singles are more apt to work within your limitations since they have few boundaries. Single people can also be more fun to be with - their guard is down & they don't care who sees them. |

How do I know the Ashley Madison website system & membership base are for real? | |
|
While we can't guarantee the authenticity of any profile on Ashley Madison, we endeavor to ensure that all Members signing up for our service agree to the Terms & Conditions that outline acceptable use of our system. In addition, Ashley Madison undertakes to ensure your confidence in many ways: We proactively preview every photograph and all text changes posted to the public section of our website and use our best efforts to edit or modify any information that does not comply with our acceptable operating standards. If you use credits to send a mail message to any member that becomes involuntarily suspended, we automatically refund those credits back to your account. That way, you can initiate contact with confidence. We openly disclose our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer information at the bottom of EVERY page you view. This information clearly outlines how we collect your information and what we do with it, our code of conduct, etc. We have been in operation since late 2001 and launched in January 2002. Since, we've signed up over 4,500,000 members, are profitable and have no debts. Ashley Madison has been featured in numerous news segments on national television, radio and news print. (From our Home Page, click on 'Media Center' to view news Articles about Us.) Ashley Madison constantly re-invests in the long-term viability of our business by spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in main-stream advertising so you know that qualified new members are signing up and that new regions are being developed. (From our Home Page, click on 'Media Center' to view our Print, Radio & Television Advertising.) We do not attempt to draw you in to an endless cycle of recurring monthly debits from your credit card or bank account by automatically billing you without your permission. If you wish to use the advanced service features of our system, simply buy or replenish 'credits' (Tokens) at your own discretion. We provide you with our toll-free number and physical mailing address where many of our staff are stationed because we know you may need to reach us using methods other than email: The Ashley Madison Agency, Limited 20 Eglinton Ave. West, Suite 1200 Box 2055 Toronto, ON Canada M4R 1K8 Tel: 1-866-742-2218 (Toll-free) Fax: 1-416-545-1510 |

What is the ratio of female to male member sign ups? | |
|
At present, there are about 7 men for every 3 women that join AshleyMadison.com. However, if you consider that only men who send messages to women are those who purchase credits AND only 1 out of every 10 men buy credits, the ratio of women to ACTIVE Men is 3 women for every 1 man. | |
