Could AM or SB be legit sites for hobby or fwb?

I've always been skeptical of Ashley Madison or Secret Benefits? Has anyone actually found a worth while connection of any kind within the past 2 years or so? Whether a provider, fwb, sb? I feel like it's all bots.
Can be? Yes. Are actually? Not very
Several years ago AM was a good site for meeting single & married women for FWB relationships and hookups. You could send intro messages and make a good contact in a week. That contact would turn to playtime about 50% of the time.

Now it's a different story and it is very difficult to make that first exchange of messages to start a dialog. A guy may go months before getting a single response to a barrage of intro messages. Note that a woman can make multiple good contacts on any given day and be in bed that afternoon/evening. I have known several that have. For women, its a field day!

As far as provider activity; none at all. Any account that hints of provider will disappear within a few days.

Happy hunting
