My subscription to DU has run out. So I'm getting pictures

of ladies who might want to date me from multiple ads. No men. I don't happen to be a lesbian. Never have surfed the web for anything dating/sex related so that cannot be it. Never clicked on anything dating related. Why am I getting all these ads? Why no pictures of handsome men?
