Hmm. Wonders what kind of information JA shares with advertisers. For instance, why do I get an ad with women looking for net dating?

Anyone else..? We might not need any app anyway... Oh... Nevermind... Oopsie

    They keep bombarding me with the psycologists ads for people dealing with or in denial about tilde-dependency issues.  Pfffft, as if I have a problem, right?  The nerve!

    No, this was a photo I found on google. But the strange thing is I haven't googled or visited any net dating sites and yet it shows me an ad where women are looking for women. Hmm. I think JA told them about me. Do you think she wants me off this site by such moves? Hmm. Wasnt aware she's working as matchmaker too.

  • I never get those ads, and I have looked. All mine are usually related to shopping. No, not that kind of shopping.

    I answered sort of an off-the-wall question on a similar site a few months ago...something I have never otherwise spoken about or looked up online before, and the next day I noticed several videos related to that subject show up in my YouTube feed as "recommended for you".  Methinks Google (which owns YouTube) has a very good setup for tracking our every keystroke online.  :(

    Google know very much about us. It is rather funny though as i haven't searched or visited for such places. I surf in private mode and even then they knew my sexual preference. Lol. Well, the ladies looked beautiful so no harm done. :-)

    I suppose that depends on how one defines "harm".  It creeps me out to have my every move tracked.  I think it will not bode well for society, particularly in countries such as mine, where the government is collecting and collating so much information on us already.  That will only become more invasive as time goes on.

    I know what you mean. Harm here is for the eye. It is spooky what they know.

  • Even in private mode there is info being shared about your browsing habits and linked to your IP address. Really all it does is keep tracker off your computer and tries to prevent sites from following where you came from and where you go after.   It doesn't stop them from your IP, what you are looking at while there, or provide any anonymity. Data is still being collected and shared while using it.  Few really understand what incognito mode really means and offers.

    I never have searched for or visited any net dating site though. Must be something else then. Hmm.

  • Oh that doesn't matter.   Dating sites are heavy advertisers.  Your web use likely set a data profile that you may be either single or "adventurous"( for lack of a better word), like looking at females, frequent sites like AM ( socializing sites), are of a certain age demographic, and (I'm going on what you share on here) have an interest in sex.  That would put in the demographic pool the advertisement is trying to direct towards.  It's not to say your the person to use that kinda thing, but the user base has similar habits and online interests as you.

    Anyways.  Lesbians are awesome drinking buddies at the bar and I've had a lot of fun chasing tail with some I have gotten on good with.

    Glis, Gay women are really superior in business.   Not ALL, of course.  But just like Gay men having  a knack for making you look good, gay women often are amazing businessmen.
