There seems to be an increased amount of messages sent from hidden profiles. I have taken a stand and started to block them, after all their one liner/word message was never a head turner. So why do people feel the need to hide? |

We have hidden ours as too much going on with a 320 mile move coming up, When we are in our new home & settled we'll unhide & start afresh. But we wouldn't message while hidden, same as we wouldn't meet without face pics first.

"If they are not meeting all they need to do is say so and change their filters I’m with you OP will delete and block. "
I don't have the time for them. Like everyone has said if people are taking a break that is fair enough but I am referring to the ones who are actively messaging sometimes several times if you don't respond within their timescales  |

they may be so hot they've had to hide profile to keep message levels down but I to avoid people who get too many messages you can't have conversation or get to know them, so not much point but wouldn't block |

Difficult to know what to do when someone profile is hidden and you get a message.
Sorry if this sounds bad but if that message comes from woman hidden profile I always think they are a man |

My profile stays hidden 95% of the time..
1) I have very little time to meet, don't want to waste people's time..
2) I have a particular preference which gets ignored on my profile and I get messages anyway by guys I am not interested in.
When I do get time and I message someone, I will send them a pic and tell them I will happily unhide my profile so they can see for themselves...
Oh and I am single not married or cheating...
Some people have genuine reasons for keeping themselves hidden..

Because in our case we're taking a break, this is clearly stayed on out profile.
However, many blokes on here don't bother reading profiles before firing off inane one or two word messages.
So to prevent such things happening again we his our profile. |

"They are the cheating husbands or boyfriends lol, stunning or otherwise 
cynic "
There’s something called “personal experience”. 98% of men on here are attached and looking for something on the side without their partners knowledge. Of course you’d know this because you regularly get messaged by 100’s of men daily 
In either case you are either out there looking at profiles and allowing others to look you up, or hide and take a fucking break from fab. Being hidden yet active is such a stalker like behaviour ! |

I agree. Why email somebody if your profile is hidden? Surely you know if they are interested in your message they will want to see your profile. |

Very common I get friend requests from hidden profiles, ‘can I see all of your pictures whilst I don’t hide everything about me?’
This confuses me greatly...

A lot of women I have chatted to have had the same thing many think its creepy to mail from a hidden profile and block.
If you are messaging people then there is no need to hide your profile is there. |

It seems a fairly odd thing to do, unless you already know who they are and have communicated previously.
Do you mean people are sending you a first message from a hidden profile? Seems pointless if so, what do they think is going to happen? |

I’ve had some recently - I just delete them no reply, especially if it’s the usual hi how are you rubbish.
I always thought hiding your profile was so you could take a break, not so you could actively persue people whilst giving nothing away. |

"Cmon what's the worst that can happen, they like you and if you message back they'll send a pic and an explanation "
Why would you bother? There are thousands of people who aren’t hidden - a single woman on Fab will most likely not have the time to deal with messsges from unhidden profiles, let alone hidden ones. |

Yes people send a first message from a hidden profile, in fact sometimes they keep sending as many as 20 messages if I haven't responded within seconds when I sometimes haven't even been online. I'm getting really bored of getting so many when there are so many lovelies on here and friends I've already met to chat to. |

Indeed...nothing to do other than block them then, really.
Having said that, is there an option to block messages from hidden profiles, like with new and unverified members? |

I have blocked profiles without public photos but having rechecked you can't block hidden profiles yet sadly. |

I often have my profile hidden because I get fed up of some of the messages I receive.
If I message while hidden, it's normally on the back of a forum post about that post.
I've had people message me from the forum when hidden. |

"We just ignore them. If they can’t be bothered to “unhide” so we can check them out, we can’t be bothered to reply "
That was my approach until the messages kept coming from the same hidden profile not content that you ignore, politely tell them (even though it says so on my profile) I don't respond to hidden or pictures profiles. Now I'm blocking as they don't want to share anything about themselves. Boring! |

Health issues are preventing me meeting, others will have their own reasons for taking a break.
It wouldn't cross my mind to send meet requests from my hidden profile, but hey...nowt as queer as folk! |

OK I understand that if they are only sending one liner messages themselves then delete and block but people do hide their profile to stop receiving junk messages themselves so they can concentrate on sending out messages.
I sometimes have my profile hidden that way I can focus on searching for suitable men and message them myself without a mailbox crammed with pointless one liners and men who had clearly not read my profile.
Yes you can have filters but that does not stop the one liners and pointless messages that still come from the people who do fall into your criteria.
....and in any case I really hate having to go further and further with my criteria just to stop the junk mail. I have now stopped anyone who is not a site supporter from contacting me but that could mean I lose out.
So sometimes it is easier for me to hide my profile so that I can actually get around to sending out some messages myself instead of spending all my time managing the junk messages. I would send a message that contained everything the person needed to know so no hardship in not seeing my profile.
But yeah why does someone send out a one liner plus have their profile hidden. Makes no sense to me. |

Always had an issue with hidden profiles, seems to be stalkers and people who can remain completely anonymous and sprout nonsense on the forums, think they should not be able to view other profiles or post on the forums, people using the excuse that they are not active, don’t want all the messages blah blah blah is rubbish just block everyone from messaging you, personally find it very creepy people who hide the profile |
