So practically speaking, no one ever cheated using Ashley Madison!

A quote from the gizmodo article:

Overall, the picture is grim indeed. Out of 5.5 million female accounts, roughly zero percent had ever shown any kind of activity at all, after the day they were created.
The men’s accounts tell a story of lively engagement with the site, with over 20 million men hopefully looking at their inboxes, and over 10 million of them initiating chats. The women’s accounts show so little activity that they might as well not be there.

So yeah. Not a lot of hooking up going on.
Especially when you consider that female accounts were free, so all the (smart) journalists and just randomly curious people, regardless of gender, probably have registered as females and show some activity.
