Off-Topic Re: Advertisements
#30: January 22, 2020, 08:49:39 AM
I just wanted to report that today the ads I get on this website are all about Gay Men's Cruises.  These ads are complete with scantily clad overweight middle aged men in skimpy bikini's. 
Such a turn off - you would think that at least they would show the buff bodies of some well tanned, oiled 20-something year olds!

I am getting multiple ads,  3 in a row across one part of the screen and two stacked on one another on another part of the screen. The ads flick into my line of vision so there is this constant "activity" each time I click to read another thread.

There are ads on other internet sites I go to but not like this. They are usually on the right side not on the top and bottom. They also don't cover part of the main site the way these do.( Both top and bottom).

The ads actually cover over the threads and I have to scroll up to be able to read them.

Not liking this at all.

Oh that sounds awful, xyzcf.

Everyone must be seeing different things.  I only get them at the top. and nothing inappropriate at all.
Just regular ads.

I wonder why this is.

I don't know...perhaps because I am using a MAC?

Well I agree with XYZCF.  Just as she described on my phone, though.  Getting more than a little tired of being offered hot sexy moms who want to be naughty with me.  Tried to address the ad preferences and am now getting Ebony moms who want to teach me how to be naughty.  I have more pictures of women in slinky dresses showing their cleavage and big behinds than I have HS content on each page. 

For the record, I already know how to be naughty and it's not with anyone's mom.  And why can't I at least have an ad for sexy men who want to be naughty with me?   ::). How about a few ads objectifying men just for fairness? 

Seriously though, ads objectifying women and dating sites is not a great fit for a forum supporting standing for ones marriage. 

And this is my work phone.  So no browsing history to work from. 

I'm not liking this either.  It looks really terrible to new visitors.  What sort of cheapy ad service is this that it's so full of ads like these?  I don't get this garbage on any other forums or online places I visit.

if people won’t listen to you, there’s no point in talking to people. If they won’t listen, you’re just banging your head against a wall.

Sadly Ive used up all the time I had allotted to spend banging my head on the wall
