Leaked data shows women on Ashley Madison were mostly fake

It's no secret that Ashley Madison has fake female profiles to engage users -- heck, it's even noted in the ToS that the website "is geared to provide you with amusement and entertainment." When its user data was leaked to the public, though, people got a chance to see just how many women there are on the website exactly, and how many of them are definitely fake. Gizmodo editor-in-chief Annalee Newitz took a closer look at the data dump in an effort to determine the site's female population and found that barely any of the 5.5 million profiles marked as "female" actually used the website.

Newitz examined several factors to get to that conclusion. First, she checked email addresses and found around 10,000 accounts that use the ashleymadison.com domain, which is a sure sign that they're fake. Next, she discovered that 68,709 female profiles were created from a single IP: 127.0.0.1. That means they were created from a "home" computer located within the company's HQ. She also found out that the most common surname on the website for women is an unusual one identical to an ex-employee's

I heard a caller on a call in show the other day, who said he used Ashley Madison.

He said that he contacted some actual women from the site. But the “real” women he met steered their interactions towards how much money he could spend.

In other words, “real” women on that sites are looking for a sugar daddy, or are just prostitutes.

Like almost every other stateside dating site? If a gentleman wants to converse with live, real women who might be interested in marriage, his best bet is one of the foreign dating sites, particularly one that feature women from the Philippines or some such.

The NIgerian barrister who is helping me access several million dollars belonging to a deceased coca farmer with my last name warned me that most of the women on Ashley Madison.com are fakes.

Especially those connected to politicians.

Locally in Rochester, a 76 year old very prominent attorney just got arrested in a prostitution raid. Defense will probably be....nothing happened..heh heh heh. But it still cost him $200.

There’s a whole other topic which could become a big thread. But there is a small but growing movement towards American men wanting to meet women who were raised in other cultures. American men are rejecting modern liberal American women.

Flame away.

I see where this is going, but it won’t help - just because the women are fake is no excuse for all the politicos that signed up. Its trashy even as “amusement only”.

Ha! Well, you’re right. The new language these days with “transgender” is basically an obfuscation to muddy the waters a lot with the attempt to make everyone out there think all these tortured souls are “in the process” of doing the “do” and getting it whacked off and a brand new vagina installed.

The truth is that there many of these now-transgenders that are homos who like to dress up as women and fool straight men into thinking they’re women. You see them on Jerry all the time. Homo transvestites is what the majority are. This “I’m woman in a man’s body” is just cover up bullsh!t.

So, in a roundabout way, TransBENDERS as you say is more apropos.

HAHAHAHA...HOHOHO...HAHAHAHA....

Unless you are a college student, any hookup app is not legit. There is no pot of gold at the end of that rainbow. That’s a tranny.

Philipinas are (A) overwhelmingly Christian, (B) traditional, (C) admire the West, especially the United States (they were a US possession from 1898 to 1945 in one fashion or another) and more willing to have an age gap with their spouse than an American lady would.

I was in Ukraine 3 weeks ago and met an available 600 women at 3 socials in Odessa, Nicolaev, and Kherson. Of course I only had time to date a dozen or so of them. What wasn’t real was the one woman I was writing to in Odessa. Her name was Maria and she never received any of the dozen letters I wrote to her. I was communicating with the translator at the agency in Odessa, not Maria. When I arrived in Odessa, the translator set up my date as though I had set it up with Maria. I had a nice date with Maria, but she never knew me before our date. So, Maria was real, but the communication was fake. Big scam. The agency in Arizona will not reimburse me for my communications...lest their empire start to fall. Class action lawsuit anyone?

You’re a smart person TexasCajun...that’s all it is.

Might as well go to Craigslist or Backpage.com

The roach motels on Staten Island are full of prostitutes that use these sites. You’d think they’d be easy to shut down.

Three years ago when I drove a livery, I would pick up drug addled hookers from those hotels all the time.

They would go to CVS to get syringes and then go back.

Heartbreaking.
