Yup. At first I thought it was coincidence, that it just became clear. One day I tested it and typed "I think I might travel to India". Confused the heck out of my friends, but sure enough, by the end of the day there were travel website ads to the right.

Now, I don't think there's an actual person reading my posts, I think it just automatically picks up keywords like "travel", etc. But it is annoying. I'm thinking about changing my status to "Married" just to get rid of that ugly guy on the dating ad that's ALWAYS there. It even narrows it down to my state and my sex. "Single hot guys in New Hampshire are looking for you!" Really? Where the heck are they then?

<Laurajean looks around in all directions, but sees no hot guy...>

LOL... they all live in the tyvek shed...

Wendy, if you could only see those guys.....

Here's a perfect example, I just copied today's ads from my profile page.

1) I was just posting last night on a friend's wall who thought she took a picture of an "orb" or ghost

2) I DO have Fibromyalgia and I'm sure I've mentioned that

3) Now the perpetual dating ad has gone from the usual ugly guy to a hot but creepy guy who is "obedient". (Read the title above the ad). Apparently I must have posted somewhere about wanting to dominate men??

LOL, I know. I guess me not clicking on the ugly guy caused them to step it up. How about this one? Cute AND OBEDIENT! Who the heck knows what I posted to make them add OBEDIENT in there....

I don't want obedient either!! I'd just get a dog....

I was just looking back through my posts to see what might have caused it, and I think I found it. Several days ago, I copied and pasted this from a friend's wall because I thought it was funny:

"A real woman always keeps her house clean and organized, the laundry basket is always empty. She's always well dressed, hair done. She never swears and behaves gracefully in all situations and under all circumstances. She has more than enough patience to take care of her family, always has a smile on her lips, and a kind word for everyone. Ladies, post this in your status if you too suspect that you might be a man."

The subsequent conversation involved some of my guy friends teasing me about it, and at one point I said, "I just thought it was funny, believe me, I'm NO feminist". Well, my guess is that it picked up on the word "feminist" and thought I might like more obedient men.... LOL. Good example of how it picks up on stuff you write, isn't that crazy!?!?
