Why yes, I am Happily Single



I have been mildly amused of late with the sidebar adds on my yahoo mail account.   We all know that there is no privacy and ads are tailored to your lifestyle and interests.  Trust me they track everything which is why I am always getting horse and fiber (not the stuff to you eat) Ads.  But these Ad people aren't all that accurate and often offer the darndest things.  Somewhere they picked up on the fact that I was divorced and therefore single, which is correct, but after that it was all down hill.  Apparently no one should be single, and they had Ads to help fix that.

For the longest time I got these sidebar ads for dating men.  These men were all various ages and a real cutie was some guy out of Las Vegas, but after a year this fellow apparently still didn't have a date which is why he kept showing up in a sidebar Ad trying to get my interest.  Frankly if this poor fellow couldn't get a date after spending everyday as a sidebar Ad on my computer and every other computer, well.....would I really want to date him - I don't think so.  Since I wasn't interested in Mr. Las Vegas the Ad people decided to try something different.  So then I was getting 50+ Christian men looking for real woman to take care of - No games.  All right, that is really sweet, but where did they get the idea I was looking for a Christian man to coddle me.  I'm not Christian and while I have a great deal of respect for many aspects of the Christian religion it just has never resonated with me and I wasn't raised in that faith. So...no clicky clicky on that sidebar ad for me.

The Ad people went back to the drawing board.  Drop the Christian theme and just see if we can tempt her with some 50+ hunky guys.  Yawn......Thanks guys, but I was married for some 25 years.  While I thinks it is great for many and there are certainly aspects of a good marriage I do miss - I really am happily single at this time in my life.   But apparently being single is something that needs to be fixed and since I wasn't clicking on pictures of sexy men maybe I would prefer to date a 50+ hot woman.  I was startled and mildly amused when my sidebar Ad suddenly changed to great looking 50+ women about a week and a half ago.  Well, I do admit it got my attention, but not because I was interested in dating a 50+ woman.  Yesterday, I actually got an Ad that said "date great men here or women".  Curiouser and curiouser,  what will they suggest next?

Yes, I have been mildly amused lately, but then perhaps I am easily amused.   I think it is very thoughtful that the Ad people want to alleviate my perceived loneliness, but I'm doing just fine thank you and should I decide to start dating again I'll let you know.
