Ads are based on your Google searches.

Son I am facepalm.

EDIT: You fool, it's an ad for dating WOMEN. Not men.

It's Google Ads - They target ads based on the cookies found on your system.

Any searches for dating, online dating, women, anything sex related or even close to those terms would cause these to come up.

You're not the first person to see that specific ad. I could probably blacklist cougarlife - any sites like that you see, either send me the link or screen shot so I can add them to my blacklist.

Pretty sure the ads also relate to what's written on the page. Eg we have cougar hanging around here, so we get cougar adverts.
