Google has a notorious reputation to display ads relevant to your
keyword search. So, if Google displays ads about "getting a girlfriend"
or "picking up women in your region", could that mean you must have
searched similar items on the web?

Well, not exactly. Google also provide advertisements that are
geo-targeted and based on age range
(https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2580383).

I blocked the sensitive category in Google ads upon a reader's feedback
