"HMMMM, not gained anything at all? Have you been taking your measurements and see no difference?"
I am so confused.
I love The Art of Manliness site. But imagine my surprise as I opened the web site to see a Nuva ring advertisement! Have any of you run across any hilarious ads on the site?

Don't knock the Nuva ring until you've tried it! I've had one in for the past six months and it works like a charm!
uh...........

Actually, it's a continuous-release application that must be removed after 3 weeks and replaced with another a week later. After those 3 weeks, there's 0 to minimal medication being provided. It's just an intimate accessory.

Ad saying; "Meet women in your area." Meet for what? To make me a mushroom omelette?

Even I don't get that one, but I see this is from before my time on AoM.

I keep getting this ad that switches from a fat to thin belly wanting to give me tips for a tiny belly.

I've seen that happen when I use Google Shopper. I'll look for something obscure (a part to a gas fireplace, for instance), and then ads for that item will show up on any number of sites I later visit. My guess is that someone searched for a good price on Nuva rings using your laptop, and now that cookie will occasionally affect the ads that show up on AoM, let alone NYTimes or Drudge. I haven't seen it happen for embarrassing searches, but it just goes to show that it pays to browse "in private" as a general rule, or to periodically clear out the cookies on your browser.

It's often more complicated than that. 1) Yes, if you search for something specific, or visit a particular online retailer, you are likely to get ads for that specifically. 2) But the advertising algorithms also match up what non-retail sites you visit and words you type.
Example of 1: I buy most of my clothes online from LandsEnd, and check sales there about weekly. I get LandsEnd ads all over the internet - news sites, other retail sites, etc.
Examples of 2: I made a comment about my pain-killers on Facebook after oral surgery. I still get ads about addiction rehab. Facebook has more personal ads and smaller advertisers, so is more likely than AoM to give you ads related to what you post, as opposed to specific searches. When I was engaged, I'd get ads everywhere, including AoM, for wedding stuff like dresses and stationery, even from sites I never visited.
Not examples: The weight loss ad mentioned is probably just general New Year's advertising, as is the Netflix ad I see right now likely just general advertising.
Someone looking for cheap Nuva rings online would quickly be frustrated and disappointed. Let's just hope that wasn't her bedroom experience, too.

chad posted a discussionCoed friendships while in a relationship
So a previous post of mine brought up an interesting debate. Is it okay to hang out with people of the opposite gender while you are in a relationship? What are the limits to this? Is it okay in a group setting but not one-on-one? Is it okay in public but not private? Does it matter if you know this other person? I can't possibly come up with all the possible scenarios on here so feel free to come up with different ones.The final topic of discussion for this is what would you do if you…See More

Hyrum Higgins posted a discussionAdvice on whether to stop talking to a girl
I have liked the girl for a long time. Years. I'm 18 now, and for most of the time I know her, I mainly just talked to her. She doesn't live nearby. Tonight, I finally told her of my feelings for her over the phone. I shouldn't have waited this long but I did. She didn't return them. As politely as she could she told me that she wasn't especially attracted to me, and that my obvious attraction to her had made talking to me and being friends with me a little awkward at times. It was a relief to…See More
