I don't want to see ad's for $24 underwear

[alabamagal]

Apparently I inadvertently clicked on an internet ad for men's underwear.  They are $24 a piece btw.  I am sure they are very comfortable.  But I am not buying them (DH is fine with $2 a pair).

Now these underwear show up on every site I go to.  Like they are following me.
  
Who buys $24 a pair underwear?  Well maybe I shouldn't complain because women spend more than that on a bra.

Google a bunch of other stuff and it will eventually go away.

One of the regulars (can't remember who) posted a link to a chair on Bass pro shop that their husband wanted.  It took me quite a while to get rid of that ugly chair.

LOL! My DH doesn't want the expensive underwear either.   He prefers those 6 or 8-packs.

Ok- we've bought DH and DS $24 underwear before.  But it was for snow camping so they literally didn't freeze their asses off. 

Other than that- it's all cheap cotton boxer briefs in our house.

My husband sometimes wears pricey underwear. I sometimes pick what I want him to wear to work in the morning.   Some of them are kinda sexy.

My first thought that *finally* there is some parity in comparison to what woman are asked to pay for underwear.  

FWIW....if I can find my bra for $24, that's a good sale for that brand/style.

If you clicked on the link to find out what the NFL player who makes a bazillion dollars shoplifted-you end up with the ads for men's pricey underwear.  He was too important/busy to wait his turn to pay.

He gets caught shoplifting and a job representing the brand and we're stuck looking at underwear we have no use for.

Just cruise over to Amazon and search for something fun you'd like to have (but don't really want to buy).

All the websites with advertising will latch on to that and you'll see that instead.

A couple of months ago I was looking for some sort of shelving for my bedroom - so I was looking at Target, the container store, wall mart, amazon... for weeks on end that's all my ads were for - shelving units.

Oh, you can go over to Think Geek and click on some of their products - you'll see those things on all your website advertising... There's a somewhat hunky guy wearing Captain Mal Reynold's Brown Coat that's kinda nice to see in the ad space.

It's like webpages are customizable....

Captain Mal Reynold's Brown Coat

Done.  That's not a man I mind looking at.

Now off to google Nathan Fillion as "Castle."

Good luck! It only works to an extent...otherwise my ads would all look like that dude <---------------, except not a zombie.

1)  I'm sure the expensive underwear has some redeeming qualities and there are definitely people out there who buy them.  Just like my friend bought ordered all her son's uniforms for kindergarten from Nordstroms, when Penny's has fine uniforms for 1/10th the price.  Given that he is in Kindergarten, they will only last a year anyway, so quality seems like a lame reason.  

2)  The same thing happened to me a few years ago.  I looked at Victoria Secret's jeans online one night when I was on a business trip, and then on my computer at work were boobs, boobs, boobs.  It was terrible.  I don't want to be reminded how I am not 25 anymore - ever - but at work it was even worse.  We use many web-based applications, and I often share my screen on web-ex, so

My husband doesn't wear underwear, I know I shouldn't post this. He used to but said its much more comfortable with none. You got me, I don't see how, but oh well. Maybe he will when he is home in the winter here and its very cold.

For some reason this made me laugh my ass off... Don't know why!

More power to your man going commando

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

All you need to do is two simple things:  Google "Zombie Apocalypse" and search Amazon for "Survival Tactics" .... your ads will get a LOT more interesting

"Inadvertently"?    

Yeah, right.

[ZaireinHD]

the ads keep coming up because of our settings.
Maybe Moon has an answer to turn it off or rest / delete the history or stuff like that.

I was looking for Halloween Names and found there is an actual web site called halloween names.com! but that search continues to come up with other halloween name sites I tried.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

It's not because of the settings. As ❤ mollymouser ❤ said, if you Google search something else completely different, those underwear ads will go away, and you'll start getting ads for items similar to the item you just searched.

I spend some time on MSN Games when I'm bored - then when I come back here, my ads are for game sites. It is what it is.

If I visited Sears appliances sites, I'd start getting ads for stoves or washers.

[alabamagal]

I don't see the ads on this site, at least not that I noticed.

And it was truly inadvertent.  But once there I had to look.

I think if you don't always clear your cookies, many websites/ads key off what

you looked at. If you want to have lots of fun, look at lots of shoes on any website.

I had that follow me around in places I didn't expect like weather.com and places

I did like here.

Its basically the ad software which goes through your recent clicks figuring

showing them again will inspire purchases. (Hasn't worked on me yet, but

perhaps it must work on someone.)
