I've just realised that by blocking people I don't fancy (a choosy male - rare, I know!) I don't have to see their updates.
It feels cruel but it's nothing against you as a person/couple - just my personal taste; I'm not interested in you.
Now I can only see updates of people new to me, and/or interesting to me.
So why do I feel guilty about doing it? |

"Why's it cruel, saves everyone time
You're not the only one who does it no need to feel guilty
"
Just looked at your profile and pics: I wouldn't block you
Thanks for making me feel better about it  |

"Hehe they don't know that you have blocked them it saves time and disappointment. Oh it won't stop you seeing their photos in the new pics gallery lol, I so wish it did!  "
Feeling better about it now (but then I wouldn't block you, either!)
Wish we'd bumped into each other when I was working that way last year! |

"Or you could just turn your computer off?
I always wonder why the things that annoy other people so much, never seem to bother me?"
I like to look at the updates of people I like the look of - not of people that don't appeal to me. Turning the computer off would exclude all of them - no gain whatsoever ever! |

No one said anything about it being "annoying", life's too short - just being selective. |

Don't be....I've been doing this for ages. If I look at someone who clearly has no interest in single guys/of my age then blocking them stops you from looking again and wasting your time and theirs....its a great tool.
My block list is huge. Not because I have anything against them....but just to save time and effort. |

I only block people who mail me with an offensive message, other than that I'm too lazy to bother.
Does make me laugh on the Forums when people disagree with someone and then throw in "you're blocked". A clear sign of a lost argument.
But don't feel guilty, block away if you want, I doubt many people even realise half the time and most don't care. |

Blocking is down to the individual I guess.
I know some.guys are abusive and I can appreciate you ladies get bombarded with messages.
These chaps spoil the site for us all.
I have recently discover I am on a block list of some.one I have never talked too or profile I haven't seen since yesterday in the forums lol. That was odd lol.
Hay ho but I am sure I like most of us exist on son ones block list.
Personally I have not blocked anyone x |

The lady who blocked me in the thread saud ita something she does generally to most men and we still have a giggle in the threads, uts her prerogative and I respect that. As for the other is some one I met and its a long story but I wasn't what she wanted . And yes I miss her ,lots . |

ahh well it doesn't hurt i suppose i am not really sure how many have blocked us i know at least 4 did because they felt the need to attempt to abuse me in mail on days i (jo) was on form and to happy for them so they do the snap out message being as insulting as they possible can then block as soon as they have sent it so we cant reply ( ) bless  |

"I don't give it a second thought if I block someone"
neither do i.... i have had someone say something in a pm or in a thread that was just such an instant turn off then i have done...
then to use the privates notes more as i can vent and put down why i don't like them....
that would be an interesting book in itself....... |

There's a guy on my local feed who is always uploading bareback pics in group scenarios, doesn't really bother me, I'm pleased he does, he's easy to avoid! |

its more likely not about feeling the need to block him, but using it as its meant to be used, as a tool, and decided hes not for them so use the block as a filter so he doesnt show up in searches. |

Through a message received is easiest or just type the username in the box on the blocked list section. |

It acts a filter like you said and.usefull too for.you ladies . To be honest most men.down get that many messages so I dont feel the need to block. In the same respect my profile says not looking for males so its a form of blocking x x |

I have started actively blocking people. before I would be reticent about a block, concerned about the feelings of the other person.
Now I'm over it. I will look at the profile and if I am clearly not what they are looking for, I will block them.
I have also started blocking people who delete my emails without replying, because I know they aren't interested.
It's a tool like any other. it also stops me from messaging people I have messaged before, saves me having to add a private note of "not interested".
It is early days, no doubt I will miss out on some fantastic meets, but such is life. |

"I block people when they have nasty status updates constantly so i don't have to read them."
Me too I blocked someone earlier as we kept going around in circles when a I asked for some pics as he only had a cock pic on his profile. After, I went to my blocked list to make a note as to why I'd blocked him, his headline said "there are some fucking sad pathetic people on here" yep, like you!! I'm glad I blocked now. Sometimes status's like that speak volumes about a person. |

4 on mine and all because of messages received - other than that I have no need to.
I'm big enough and ugly enough to take whatever is thrown at me in the forums, etc.
But as others have said - recently found I'm on others without ever chatting or even being in the same thread.
No big deal. I'm not offended. |

I block alot. It's a facility of the site. If there is someone I am not attracted to or do not like their attitude I block them. It saves them messaging me again so saves their time and mine. Just makes fab easier. |

Why do you feel guilty about it OP, the block button is just a useful tool available to us all.
And I don't expect for one
Minute that anyone you've blocked is the slightest bit interested in whether youve blocked them or not. They probably would never even realise it. |

I thinks is amusing, if a little sad when guys put stupid status updates because they've been turned down. They are doing themselves no favours as most women I'd imagine would read it and delete any message from them. |

On the mobile site?
When you one across a profile that's blocked you you'll get the 'You cannot _iew this profile' message - but the menu is still there above.
Simply select 'more' and then block.
Easy.

If you build up a nice solid friends list of people that you are going to meet and those you currently do, then there should be no need to wander into the murky waters of the "local updates". I did this once a few weeks ago. It was full or statuses such as "my balls need emptying" and "fancy a fuck?" I thought to myself "what is going on? this isn't normal from my friends list", then a lightbulb came on. I had wandered off piste into the "local updates". Never, never again!!!! |
