Being blocked
Jump to: Newest in thread
Was recently blocked after responding with a polite response , for the only possible reason I can think " not being able to bring along the person in the image with me ", what's all that about. if your not interested in single males why put M in your meet list |

To be fair, I've seen fewer couples pictures on a couples profile. Many couples have singles profiles too, they may have reasonably assumed from your pictures that this was the case with you. |

"well why would you have photos of a woman on a single guys profile? could be misleading"
No need for multiple pictures of women on a single male profile. If they weren't there it would avoid this kind of confusion. |

How do you know that was the reason OP? A lot of people block those they've decided they don't want to meet to save them coming up in future searches and wasting both your time and theirs with further messages |

It's a single male profile, how is it misleading?.
If you saw a photo in a couples gallery with the woman and 5 men would you expect them all to be meeting you?

Maybe I have should have profile heading,
" please read profile first"
To be honest my profile clearly states single male.
Does it really matter what images you display |

When I read threads like this I realise what an uphill battle many guys have.
If people find a picture of a woman with man on a singles profile confusing, then they must be thick as mince.
Maybe you should put “Serving Suggestion” at the bottom of your pictures OP. |

Do you think that by saying you couldn't bring the person in the image, they thought you meant you? ie that the male in the picture wasn't you, or that you look radically different now? |

Totally agree it’s a single male profile ?? How is that misleading ?? He can put pics of what he wants in his pics !! Agree that might not be the reason u got blocked but to suggest it’s for having pics with woman as that may be misleading does not make sense !! If you get blocked don’t take it to heart move onto the next one lol

I struggle to understand why people get upset at being blocked. Aren't people allowed to use the site tools to avoid further contact with people they don't want to have sex with?
It's been mentioned a zillion times that a polite "no thanks" turns people from hot to a hot mess. Therefore it's understandable why some just block and move on.
If people stopped feeling entitled and accept (I know some will struggle with the notion not everyone wants to fuck them) that the computer says no, the happier they'll be! |

Very good point. If 'men' is ticked, they should meet every man that mails them. If they don't they are wasting men's time. |

Well looks like people assume by looking at pictures then ?? No one reads a profile where it clearly states single profile ? I’m sure when you search for meets you have to type in if your looking for singles or couples ?? Need to stop doing that and stare at pics with wedding rings and assume everything under the sun, just hope I don’t see a single male profile with pics of more than 1 woman in the pic it could mean he has 3 wives lol |

Yes we did. I'm not doubting your authenticity but your original post said that you told the couple that you couldn't bring the person in the image, which is a little ambiguous as I presume you were in the image alongside the woman? For the avoidance of doubt in future, as others have suggested, perhaps it's best to stick to pictures of just you on a single male profile |

It has been stated on many threads on this subject that quite a few people are put off by pictures of others or 'action shots' on singles profiles. Many consider it to be unnecessary as we all are adults and assume that you've had sex, they don't need the pictorial proof! There are also questions surrounding consent etc.
It might be that this couple felt like that and once you confirmed in your message that you are single, they blocked and moved on.
Obviously it's your profile to post whatever pictures you see fit, I'm just giving a reason as to why.
As many have stated though, being blocked is just a site function. Roll with it and move to the next, starting threads about it rarely go well. |

I know your profile is set to single male and I haven't read the text but your pics give the impression of a couple. There's more of you with a woman than there are of you. Very nice pics though but I can understand why, based on pics alone, people might think you're a couple. |

I think occasionally ppl might send you friend requests to see your private pics then you don't respond quickly enough and they regret it and realise they've left the option open to you, so they block you, I believe that's happened to me...... ......plus there's the fake accounts and trolls who just want to fuck you around for no logical reason...... 
Don't sweat it, move on..... |

OP you were blocked just move on, as for peoples confusion because of your pics absolute nonsense, people can read can’t they? no one has ever been confused that we are anything but a couple and we have pics of F, FFM, FMFM, etc etc, some people just can’t handle the fact you’ve played with some hotties and show pics of the fun, why they can’t, don’t know, but best avoided... |

There and to the left a bit |
"I thought you were only allowed pics of yourself on your profile "
Site rules on others appearing in photos (found in the FAQ section) state:
Others in your photo OK so long as faces are obscured and you have permission. You can have other people in your photos too (to clarify, you must also be in the photo) so long as you have their permission to upload to your account on here AND their faces are obscured (face pixellated or blacked out; just blacking out the eyes is NOT ok).
So the OP has done nothing wrong at all - if others don't like the fact he has pics with other people in them, then that's there prerogative, but so long as he has permission (which knowing the couple in the pics are also here I am sure he has) then he's not broken any site rules so not sure why he's being called out on it.
Personally, I wouldn't post pics featuring someone else on this profile, but that's my prerogative, just as having them is the OPs |

I get blocked all the time. Even if I just message asking how someone is and if they are enjoying fab ect. I guess it’s just a way of people trimming down what they don’t like as blocking removes them from the all the feeds an updates etc
Doesn’t bother me.. their loss! ?? |

A unicorn is a rare and mythical creature, hence why the term is used to describe single bi females who are looking to meet couples. People think that they exist but they are so rare that no is actually sure that they do.
Have you seen how many single males are on Fab? They’re about as rare a pint of carling in a footy fans hand during an England match in Wetherspoons! |
