I hate the ads that say 'still single?' with a picture of a cute woman on it. I mean, is there a rush?

Well, I'd like to be in something fun while I'm young. You can't get away with certain shenaniganery after a certain age.
I just don't like the implication that anyone on the advertised dating site would look anything like a model. You're going to be finding people who can't get a date in person, not models.

Well it's just advertising, it's not like Facebook can control what ads appear, as most ads are added by users. If you took the time to notice, you'd see that you can easily add your ads, regardless of what it is, and as long as it doesn't violate the Terms of Service, Facebook accepts it. And I don't think they sunk to a new level, I just think they are money tycoons, trying to get more money, regardless.
And besides, Facebook has age boundaries, so the ads shouldn't be anything the age group would think as inappropriate. Cause I'm pretty sure I read somewhere, the ads placed are matched with the persons age? Or something close to that.

They ought to be, but in my experience they're not targeted very well at all.

Facebook stalks me. Every time I check it, I have heavy metal ads. But yeah, the singles ad thing is pretty sad.

Sorry, sorry. Stop dating people from pubs? It looks a lot like that person is.

And I always wonder why people my age get targeted with those ads. I think there's a condition for most dating sites that you need to be 18 anyway.

That is probably one of the least affective ads of all time.

You might be missing the point that the photo is meant to depict one of the girls from the pub you would avoid with e-dating.
