Users should supply a reason why they are blocking someone, even if it is only “no longer interests me” . It is very frustrating to be blocked and not know what you have done…….

It's just part and parcel of being on the site. And no one owes anyone anything on here. Best just accept it and move on

Nope, can’t agree. We block people who are of no interest to us. We don’t need to give a reason to a stranger.

We block people for many reasons.

A friend request without chatting- our pet hate

Someone sending us multiple messages or a nasty one

A profile that views us that makes our teeth itch (some one who’s opening line was I’m a “pussy smasher” was the last one )

people we have conversed with and discounted- narrows down the search engine

Assume it's because they don't want to engage with you.

That seems a fairly safe bet 💜

------------------------------

How does "no longer interests me" help you though? You already know that by being blocked. They're unlikely to block someone who does interest them!

Agree its frustrating not to know.

However disagree that the reason should be known. People block people for various reasons but most of the time keeping a distance and keeping anonymous is a big factor. So naturally they want to keep the reason ambiguous to either prevent antagonising futher trouble or to give away any clues of who they are or what they want due to the reason given.

We block people who have not read our profile.

No we won’t change our preferences for you.

Why message someone if you are everything they don’t want?

Oh man. Imagine if you had to notify anyone you blocked with a reason.

Blocking a profile you've never interacted with before, please enter your reasoning for the sake of their closure : That's my mother!

Do Facebook, snap, insta etc give you a reason for someone blocking you? I don't think any of them even notify you so why should fab be any different.

Knowing "not interested" or whatever as the reason you've been blocked is not going to change anything.

You can't enforce that. Even so, the desire to know why someone doesn't want a person to contact them isn't exactly going to fill them with confidence.

That's up to them if they block. I've been blocked and have blocked, for various reasons. It's part of pretty much all online interaction. Justifying it seems like it would cause more trouble than it's worth. 🤨

Oh the entitlement!

A random stranger on the Internet has blocked you. So what? Why should anyone be forced to explain their reasoning to you for not wanting to interact with you?

I get that sometimes you want to know why someone cut you off but the reality is, the world does not revolve around you anymore than it revolves around me.

If a woman says no to me, block's me, says she can't see me anymore or whatever I just walk away. I wish other men would wise up to this as well.

Seriously...they've said everything they need to say. They're not interested so why waste anymore time.or energy on it? Pointless getting hung up on it and I'd rather go where I'm wanted rather than try to extend my stay somewhere I'm not wanted.

Why should they?..just because someone's ego is bruised?..

People are entitled to choose who they wish to interact with & if they wish to block them, that's their choice.

It's a simple way of saying no/no longer interested...

And if they did say why the ego would take more of a hit..

Just move on...

Why can't people just reply, even if it's no thanks?

Why can't people just delete my message if they're not interested?

Why can't people just block me if I'm not what they're looking for?

Why can't people give a reason for blocking me?

On and on and on it goes when the net result is exactly the same -if a person isn't engaging with you, in whatever way that manifests itself, they're not interested. It's that simple.

You're blocked because they aren't interested in you... It's fairly simple really!

There aren’t enough hours in the day.

If someone blocked me I wouldn’t dream of thinking I had the right to know why.

I’m not for them. It really is as uncomplicated as that.

We Block if a person is a Fraud, Time waster, Pest or blatantly not read our profile. Feel nothing towards these people so why give a reason. Perhaps a middle finger emoji would be good

Why should they ? Just accept that for whatever reason they ain't interested then move on without the drama of the whys and wherefores.

I suspect that would probably make most peoples experiences on here much worse. Not knowing why is probably less hurtful and ego deflating.

Best to simply accept they're not interested.

Why on earth would you need a reason?

Blocking pretty much tells you that person is no longer interested,if you came up to me on the street and I didn't want to talk to you would you demand a reason why?

Comes down to attention and acknowledgement. Blocking just dismisses someone as if they mean nothing so i can see where the OP is coming from. On the other side though, providing a reason can leave one open to abuse, whinging and pestering so folk just block. Ive noticed deleting messages means people will just keep messaging a block stops all that.

I feel the vast vast majority of reasons would be:

"Wouldn't take no for an answer"

Or

"Couldn't handle rejection"

Likely both, to be fair. Some people just can't handle it. No means no, whatever form that comes in. A block is a no. Get over it and move on. 🤔

I block if I get bored with a conversation or have any doubts about who they say they are. If it has got to the stage I am blocking you then I am not going to spend anymore time telling you why.

We all owe respect and to be reasonable to others.

But when it's only ever going to be a tiny minority who are mutually compatible, that's where the energy should be invested. Investing any time on the majority of others is dead, wasted time. We all have to assume that most contact will go nowhere. The onus is on us to expect it and to deal with it. No reply and blocks will be the norm. It's totally unreasonable to expect people to waste energy on dead end roads. You're not compatible and that's all you need to know

We block people that we don't want to speak with. We also block people if there's a good chance that we may come across them in the vanilla world.

If we find that we are blocked, we just move on.

Why do people need a reason? They don't. Just move on!!!

I’m sure it’s been said but if someone messaged to say they are blocking you, you wouldn’t see it because you are blocked so there’s no point sending you a warning.

Just leave it. There’s endless reasons someone might block you, many of those aren’t personal. Nobody owes you an explanation though
