I don't know how to do a screenshot, but, believe me, it's there.
Google looks at things such as your zip code, your search history, the websites you visit, the ads you click, and
the threads you read on VB in determining which ads to show you here. What each person sees is going to be different. More than anything else I see ads for Anaheim Ducks NHL hockey when I am on VB, which I am sure no one else here sees. I'm a fan, I read the fan blogs, I visit the team website a few times a month, and my internet connection is in a zip code a few miles from the arena. Google has correctly deduced that is something in which I am interested.
Google may be showing you those dating ads because you've recently looked at or posted in VB threads that frequently mention relationships, dating or sex. And the fact you have now created a post using the terms "love match, Russian love match, meet Black singles,..." etc, means Google probably thinks you have a high level of interest in these things. You may have a lot more of those ads to look forward to for awhile.
When I look through the Dietary and Weight Issues areas, ads for all sorts of weight loss schemes will follow me around for awhile. If I go through the Environmental Issues forum on VB, I will start to see ads for solar power, recycling and car companies. It's Google trying to target the ads based on the things I view.
Some of the ads may be obnoxious, but look at it this way. When you click on an ad, VB, or whatever site is showing that ad, gets paid. Sites get paid by the click. It can be anywhere from a few cents to several dollars. I look at it as a karma's tip jar. I look forward to the obnoxious ads showing up on VB. I click them and they have to pay money to VB.
