Ashley Madison data reveals different things than we thought

...about two-thirds of the site’s male users—slightly more than 20 million men—had checked their messages at some point after creating their accounts. But only 1,492 women had looked at theirs.

That's 1000 active male accounts for every active female account!!
So, Protip: if you are going on dating sites, and you are a hetero man, only go on sites marketed at the women population you are targeting.
AM made its founders a lot of money, because it was easy to market (attention grabbing - shocking, even) and nobody at all would review it and tell you that it was ineffective. There's no Yelp for infidelity websites. (If you don't get a match on a matchmaking website, you probably think it's you.)

I downloaded the AM dump. I wanted to see what it really was, and whether I could do it. I didn't actually download it with the idea that I'd paw through it and find people I knew. It turned out to be in SQL dump format such that, if I wanted, I could easily push into a database and run queries against.
Because it was in this format, it would only take me about 10 minutes to set up a web site to allow everyone in the world to search the database. I understand a few of them have popped up.
But I know what you're asking. Nobody I looked for was in it. I only looked for a few addresses. And not yours.
