I don't know about that...I only see photos of smiling men.
I tried clicking on the photos in order to generate some income for you...and, as a result, I now get emails informing me whenever a good-looking guy moves into my neighborhood.

Computers are smart, but not that smart.
How does the ad know the sex of the person viewing it?

The ad may not know, but I think the site and its administrators know PLENTY. Particular sites are targeted, and too, I believe this is an indicator of how much one is being tracked online by Match, by Google, and others.
As I said previously, I haven't been to their site but twice. EVER. It holds no interest to me whatsoever. Still, after several of us were discussing the Match site, here, yesterday afternoon--Last night after 10 pm, I clicked my PA bookmark in the side bar, and instead of coming here, I was sent directly to Match. Automatically. No Pace Advantage came up at all. I had to close the Match site and click again to get here. Honestly guys, I swear this, I kid you not.
This is harassment! This bunch of losers in their desperation to get new sign ups are starting to get on my nerves. I never use the word--losers--but it applies this time. This is just damn ridiculous!

I just got an Omaha Steaks ad, I was on their site last night looking for gifts. I believe that's called "retargeting" in the ad biz.
Omaha steaks, Citi bank credit card, and single gurls. Party at my house!

I'm on the next plane out, Chickie. Tell the bride, a PA friend from the east coast is flying in.

I do, Rookies, and there's NOTHING about you that would remotely cause me to think--guy hunting.

I don't mind as long as the ads for sugarfresh16 and constellation300 come up. Kind of partial to those long haired brunette women.

Trotter inspired me, I also signed up for match.com to pad Mikes b-roll.
Most of these women look crazy and dangerous. And nothing like constellation300. Damn you internet.
