I just found out why I've been seeing all these ads for gay dating sites

[Rakehellion]

Apparently, I liked a "Gay Marriage" page on Facebook some time ago. Oh Zuckerberg, you speak directly to my heart!

Obvious gay is obvious.

As soon as I posted this, I got an ad for the NLGTF's Winter Party Festival. Sweet.

I'm not gay, but what makes it strange is I'm not getting targeted ads for anything else I liked on Facebook. I'm also getting a disproportionate amount of gay ads on other websites too. I guess gays spend a lot of money.

They obviously want you.

Hmm, should I post a pic of two dude kissing?

Maybe I'll rock the bikers in spandex photo... I haven't rolled that one out in a while.

I just thought of something that would be fun to do.

Start searching for the weirdest things, and liking the weirdest things, to see if Google can build a certain profile. For example, pretend you are gay and like My Little Pony (ok I guess those would go hand in hand) so do lot of searches and stuff related to that.

See if you start getting suggested sites/products on various sites. Could be fun. There's also a page you can go to on Google where it actually tells you what type of person they have you classified as, would be fun to see those results too. I forget how to get to that page now. Basically based on your online activity they know your age, gender, interests etc. It's kinda creepy, but cool at the same time.

Then start searching for stuff like boxing, football etc. That could potentially break the internet.

No kidding. I'm getting ads for gay dating, gay vacations, gay rights lawyers, HIV testing, and LGBTQ surveys all across the internet. If I were gay, I'd be seriously offended that they think I'm this one-dimensional.

I also liked the Talisker page, but for some reason they don't think I'm an alcoholic.

I'm so sorry you one dimensional beings are trapped in failbook. I'll pray for you, the pope and everyone else on Earth to one day have the strength to not be afraid of reality.

I soooo want to bump that thread with a simple quote of the last post in it and the word "This." It would be locked in the blink of an eye so I'd better not.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That IS very tempting. A double necro.

 

[coldmeat]

I wonder what kind of ads I would be getting if I wasn't running Adblock. It's probably good that I am.

Maybe the OP should go on those sites, get some D and see if he likes it. It's the only way to know for sure.
