Block list
Jump to: Newest in thread
It is aschas been said really their choice to do so snd hsppens all the time. Don't take it as a reflection of anything you have done at all. On a wider note, please remember that behaviour norms of interacting and communicating with others are almost abandoned on here and can be hard for those who expect those social norms they adhere to in daily life to carry on here too. It's not everyone of course but some do believe in 'I am entitled to do as I please at all times' including berrating people in forums, especially new ones on here who have yet to adjust to fab norms. On the other hand, remember there are also lots of great people too on here that will normally think before they speak or act.  |

People block for all sorts of reasons and you won't necessarily have done anything "wrong". For many it's just another filtering tool and they block pre-emptively simply because they're not interested in meeting you or having interactions with you. It's not personal, you just don't fit with what they're looking for.
Concentrate on those who are a good fit and stress less about those who aren't |

Anything that helps you to your energy on people who you match with, is to be welcomed. Blocks make it really easy that you need to put your attention on to others.
You will not be mutually compatible with most people. Move on to those who you may be |

"Women on here seem to do that,block you for no particular reason. You can't seem to trust any of em."
There's always a reason. I'm not sure how that relates to someone's trustworthiness |

"Some one has put me on a block list very annoying when I havent done anything  "
On our old account, we blocked all single males within a certain distance. This is because they were too close to home. They may have done nothing wrong, they may not have even interacted with us, but there was no other way to exclude them from our searches.
As mentioned above, this works to your benefit, because you know you aren't compatible with the other profile.
If it helps, we actively encourage other profiles to block us, when they consider us incompatible. Once you realise it's not necessarily a negative, it's quite useful. |

If you haven't done anything, you haven't done anything. People will block...for distance, sexualities (bi-non bi) and various other reasons it filtering who or what THEY want from what they don't. |

I block lots of profiles for various reasons and that includes profiles I've come across that I don't want to risk contact from because often in the long run it saves time or getting the abusive/irate/snarky replies when you politely say sorry not my type
Blocking those who are of no interest for whatever reason helps the finding of the needle in the haystack |

I preemptively block sometimes ie
Profiles that I'd never want to interact with or that I'm not gonna be compatible with.
There's always a reason for a block op ,doesn't mean You've done wrong ,we can't be for everyone & the block button is a good tool. |

It's not for no reason. They just don't want you messaging or looking at their profile. It's pretty obvious why they blocked you |

Those that haven't paid membership only get to see the 10 closest in "nearby" list.
So sometimes can be they're just clearing people they're not interested in too, or just fed up of seeing the same people in searches.
I also block People based on their status that tells me we are incompatible.
Saves wasting eachothers time.
I do however know how it feels to get blocked, at first i was as surprised as you.
Sometimes after lovely back and forth messages, without warning, a block.
But I've learned to just move on and not worry about it.

The block feature is there to allow people to choose who can and can not message them - just as filters are.
You don't necessarily have to have 'done' anything to be blocked.
If someone has decided, upon looking at your profile, that you are not suitable for them, they may block you to prevent you from messaging them.
Honestly, some people take things so personally on here |

Many will block, not necessarily as punishment to behaviour, often to avoid messages, for is they've already decided there's no interest.
It's a way to minimise unnecessary communication.
Don't worry about it.
Find your tribe, don't focus on those that aren't.  |

"Women on here seem to do that,block you for no particular reason. You can't seem to trust any of em."
Why would that mean you can't trust them. And why are you expecting to trust strangers on the internet anyway?
But they (the women on here, that is) have a reason. You just don't know what it is. |

Sometimes block not to prevent messages but to stop somebody showing up in update feed. This could be for various reasons - eg, they keep posting drivel, pic spam, don't meet their criteria so would rather not see them posting about meets etc., definitely not for me/us, etc. |

I have a load of people on my block list . It's nothing personal against them . If I,ve messaged and they have deleted my message without replying they obviously aren't interested so I block them to stop them showing up in a search again . Same if they have said no . |

I block people for all sorts of reasons.
Something they said on the forum
They send repeated messages
They send repeated cock pics
I think I might know them
Their profile is shit and it’s annoyed me. |

I was always puzzled when I got blocked for no apparent reason. For example, someone would send me a message expressing interest and when I went to reply I was blocked! But as people have said, sometimes it's just used as filter if you get a lot of messages. |

That last line made me chuckle out loud.
It's relatable, though we prefer 'notes' to a block, usually. |

I was blocked by some one whom I had never met,never messaged, would never intend to message and the only connection was that we both contributed to the same forum thread. I did wonder why they felt it necessary but pleased it gave them some satisfaction clicking that button. |

As mentioned above.
Some use the block button simply to avoid getting into possible, unnecessary conversation, and not as punishment.

People are rarely blocked for no reason. You might not know the reason but there will be one.
I've blocked people I haven't spoken to. People who have posted status regarding drugs or other things I don't really want to be involved in. People who've posted in the forums and I know from what I've read I wouldn't want to interact with them.
I'm sure I'm on other people's block lists but that's cool too. The block button on each account is for the perogative of the account holder. |

I apologise for doing this - but I block when people either don't reply to my message, or reply with a "not interested".
Many profiles suggest "don't bombard with messages when I don't reply or say no."
I use the block function (believe it or not) to be polite and adhere to the person's request.
In my case - it is NOT meant to offend!
However; As a straight guy - I have blocked one profile from a guy who suggested he would like to "Have his way with me" after getting me intoxicated or high on something! |

I HAMMER the block button, must be thousands of folk on it. Above are the most common reasons.

There’s always a reason why someone blocks. It could be something tiny or insignificant but it’s just the way it is. I’ve got hundreds of people on my block list, it could even be in the thousands… I wouldn’t have a clue.
Reasons I block:
• They repeatedly message (sometimes even just a for a second time and I’ll hit the block button)
• They’ve sent me a dick pic
• They’ve sent me a dirty message
• If I’m certain I would never be interested in meeting them and I don’t want them to be able to contact me
• I don’t want them to be able to view my pictures
• Their picture/s knock me sick
• Their message has knocked me sick
• They’ve sent a message asking to ‘meet tonight’
• They’ve sent a rude or abusive message
• They’ve offered money
• They’ve said something in a forum thread that’s pissed me off or I find offensive
• They mention something in their bio that I have a strong dislike for
• They sound like a arsehole
Probably loads more reasons but that’ll do for now |

Totally agree. Sending a ‘no thanks’ just brings another message back…it’s never ending. Delete the message and they still don’t get the hint, even some I’ve blocked have set up new profiles and message again  |

My block list is full of unsuitable people.

I’m the same; no point reading updates or looking at pretty pics of people you are never going to meet. Blocking profiles you don’t match with (for whatever reason), cuts the wheat from the chaff, and means you can concentrate on genuine, potential matches.
I also agree with other posters on this thread, as the forum is a great filter tool…… |

Welcome to the Cpls world. In all honestly ( this is the hubby BTW.)
Most single men are respectful & just drop a cheeky nice profile msg. That's fine an they normally receive a polite thumbs up or a quick thank you from Claire
HOWEVER!!!!!
The dick pics that seem to be most prevalent on here receive the customary block.
End of the day!!

This I completely respect, I'm far from wanting to waste anyone's time. I enjoy a lack of bullshit and to the point.
What I'm learning from my inherent lack of veris here though is that you sort of need someone to take a punt on you first and then you're "in" so to speak, which can become a little tiring lol |

From a woman's point of view, we get bombarded with messeges, alot of the time you don't just get one messege off someone, you get several, if you have decided they are not your type it's easier to block to save them messaging repeatedly, or getting abuse by telling that they are not your type.

How is it annoying? It's entirely up to anyone who the choose to connect with, or not. We use the block button to hide people who don't interest us to save any time wasting, it's not just about someone else 'doing something'. I wouldn't worry about it, just forget about it and move on
