Default Does this surprise anyone?

Ever since I have effectively been out, spending more times looking at LGBT issues, joining my Uni LGBT on Facebook and spending some of my time browsing here I have noticed the vast majority of the adverts on other websites I visit are for dating websites. Every single one of them for straight men...

Something tells me if the internet is able to pick up on who I am surely it would show me more appropriate adverts?

Anyone else noticed this?

The sites I commonly visit usually advertise food. My favourite website is sponsored by Subway, so... Yeah. Apart from that, I don't really notice advertisements much in my day-to-day internet life.

On Firefox (the browser I use mostly), I have ads disabled. But on Chrome, I keep getting ads about MMORPGs, anime and video games...which isn't surprising.

LOL Maybe I am the only one the internet has targeted. Well, that can be fixed.
