I finally got hacked off with the adverts that Facebook was serving me which seemed to consist almost entirely of dating site adverts with a condesening tone about being single at my age (don’t think it’s meant to be, but that’s how it comes accross). Given my past experience with these types of site the types of women featured and the chances of dating them differ considerably from that is implied in the advert. Since it’s obviously getting this from my ‘relationship’ [or lack there of] status I decided to turn hide all that gumph. Of course, Facebook being Facebook it proudly tells everyone that I am ‘no longer listed as single‘ which generally prompts a flurry of questions about ‘who is she’ and so on and so forth. ‘She‘ doesn’t exist and I’ve gone from being single to not being anything so fending off these question is kind of dull. With that in mind I also updated my status to point this out. I now have a load of posts about being ’sly’, ‘cheaky’ and ‘cheating’. Personally I just think it’s called planning ahead
Anyway, I now get served all the random, much less condecending adverts.




Would you not just use Firefox and install the ad filter?
Isn’t this one of the reasons why you dumped FB in the first place?
I hate how FB does that. I need to install that ad filter myself!
@dardar Got Firefox, will investigate the ad blocker
@goron I dumped FB last time as I wanted to dump a lot of people on there and it was easier to just dump the lot. I’ve been a lot more picky about who I’ve added as friends this time
