Anyways, as I'm playing solitaire, minding my own business, my phone requires me to see an ad prior to every game. Considering that I play approximately thirty-two hundred games each day, I see a lot of ads. What is interesting to me is that the ads are almost always for Christian dating sites.
Don't get me wrong: I don't have anything against dating sites. I also don't have anything against Christians dating. I'm an advocate. What I don't understand is why solitaire seems to be the place to flood these advertisements? Is there something about solitaire that says single? Okay...I concede. There may be something about card game apps that is synonymous with single and possibly desperate. Fair enough. But what, I wonder, does solitaire imply about my religion? Is spider solitaire dedicated to Catholicism? Sudoku more for Judaism? (Is there a Jewish dating website?)
It's very curious to me. I'd love to see their marketing plan. Although who knows? Maybe it's God trying to help me out!
Edit: After reading this, I acknowledge that there may be a connection between my solitaire addiction and my single status.
