Blocked after first message...?

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

So as always I have a read of the profile and then think of what to message and always try to leave a compliment... yet 3/4 times since I’ve been on here I’ve been blocked straight away!

To me that doesn’t make any sense at all... I know you ladies probably get inundated with messages but is it that difficult to send a quick “No thanks” or just delete the message?

I’m not one to send a million messages but if someone did then you can feel free to block them!

I’m so confused

I usually just delete. No thanks is too hard, because a significant minority will abuse you or argue about it.

I block immediately where the message is what I consider inappropriate or over the line (or disgusting, abusive, etc). Some people use it as a filtering tool where they're just not interested.

If you're being blocked that much, review the messages you're sending.

I used to always say a no thanks. However a percentage then think that’s an opening in to a conversation and when you then delete they become abusive.

Sadly I think the genuine men get labelled the same as the abusive ones and people find it easier to block if they’re not interested in the senders profile or photos

It’s not that much, just a small amount of times but like I said it’s just a polite message and a compliment nothing rude

Just take it that they have no interest in talking to you at all ... saves a lot of issues tbh

Some people use it to let you know they are not interested and to save your time discussing why. It isn't personal you're on the internet, they've never met you.

I know it seems harsh but just take it as a no thanks and don't think any further about it. It's just the way some people use the block button.

We tried the “No thanks” routine. Got fed up with the “Oh, come on. You will like me, I am not like the other guys in here” responses, followed by the usually begging, then abuse like “Thought she would be glad of the extra cock, seeing as she is a fatty” responses. So, now we state in profile, “if no reply, take it as a polite ‘no thanks’”.

If the opening message is a one liner, meet now, or crude one, delete. Without even looking at the profile first.

Imo, no respect for rules + no respect for profile preferences = no respect when meeting.

Women rarely get propositioned 100s of times a day, in normal life, though eh? And why should I thank someone for a message when they clearly haven't read my profile? Or at all?! Most men would take no for an answer in real life too but on here... Rarely

Absolutely. However, we have noticed an increase in the number of ‘couples’ sending abusive messages. Hubby says that it is most probably the guys doing it, though. Hence why we both read/reply to messages.

Thing is when a person does reply to say no thanks a fair few of folk think it's ok to try and change your mind or ask why or as mentioned already throw abuse so just take it as a no thanks and move on

People block if they are not interested. How many methods of letting you know this do you want them to use?

If we send a message, and either get no response, or, a “No thanks”, we block, just to stop us, much further down the line, sending again.

Because you don't understand the volume of messages, the large numbers who'll abuse, or the horrifying nature the abuse can take. Or that many will take any civility at all as an invitation to keep trying.

If a large minority see an inch given and try to take a mile, you quickly learn to give not even a millimetre.

Site FAQ.

They did not ask you to message.

They have decided you are not for them. They expect you to be a decent person and not to pursue the matter, but they do not want to message you by mistake in the future.

How many "no thanks" do you want in your inbox?

But it's definitely in the site FAQs.

Spend a bit of time reading them, spend a bit of time thinking about what its like like receive dozens of messages every day from people who don't read your profile, who send pictures if their cock, who's opening gambit is "hi how's you" or "fancy a fuck" and maybe just maybe you wouldn't have such an attitude.

"Had abuse from single women and couples on here but I point blank let them win by tarring all the single women and couples on here with the same brush, I’m bigger and better than that.

It’s not written in my contract at work that I have to walk in and say hello to my colleagues every morning, but you know what, being the nice guy that I am, I do it

If I tarred all men with the same brush I'd block them all or leave.

Nice isn't appropriate in every environment.

It Is in mine, can’t think of when it isn’t, maybe not when dealing with traffic wardens

If I were nice to everyone here I'd be overrun with obnoxious and stupid, and be unable to find those who were worthy of my time.

It's a win/win. I spend my time on the people who make me happy, and the people who are respectful etc are more likely to be rewarded for it.

Worthy... that seems so superior.

I'm sorry, but hey bb drain my balls yo... Is a waste of my time.

How ironic?

Just deleted that exact same message, from a single guy!

Hmmm if you read your post its the folk you wish to communicate with you're deeming worthy of your time..

I get crap (and i've had abusive) messages ..its not gender specific.

Against site rules to mention contents of pm's. "

I never said it was gender specific, although I used a gender specific example. Come be a surprise for my hubby right now, your profile sucks but other women are so hard to find, are examples of kinds of messages from couples and ladies similarly that I don't want.

I also never said it was only people I wanted to talk to. There are certain messages that are not worth the time it'd take to hit reply and let my phone predict "no thank you". Others, I don't want to risk abuse or pleading.

I'm sorry if I was unclear.

From the site FAQs;

There are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages!

It's not rude not to reply.

Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?

I've just blocked around 4 profiles.

1, insisting of my face pic, in responce to our doggin meet. I told him, no it will be dark, and you can see whats on offer from profile pics. So blocked at 2nd message.

2 , couple writing to us, saying she sends him out as a single bloke. I told him, to contact us through his single account. If your a couple we exspect to play as a couple. They said he didnt have a single account so blocked. 3, our doggin meet ssys google it if you dont know where it is. Some one messaged to ask = blocked.

4, single chap messaged saying he wants to chat and get to know us. = blocked as it clearly says we're not into message pingpong. Plus on his profile says he's Dom- we say we're not interested in Dom's.

If they can't be bothered to spend some time to read profile and see if we are compatible, then why should we pingpong. Block. Simples.

Blocking is a good way of removing folk you have no intention of interacting with in future. They can't message you, don't appear in searches and don't appear in your local updates. If someone interacts with you then "am I interested? Nope. Block" It doesn't mean you have done anything wrong or that they are being rude.

How is it rude at all? I know people get overwhelmed with messages, the idiots who constantly message and the ones who become abusive but in my opinion I'd say a polite no thanks and then if they start down the route of idiot then block"

Get used to it OP. The block button is a life saver.

It’s easier and safer to block someone, than to potentially deal with the abuse you’ll receive for declining them, or for deleting their message.

Fear of rejection.

It’s easier and safer to block someone, than to potentially deal with the abuse you’ll receive for declining them, or for deleting their message. "

We have blocked for many reasons. Some just because we think they are ugly and don’t want to play. Others because they just aren’t what we are after. This site is about fulfilling fantasies, if they aren’t right. It’s easier to block to save both parties wasting their time.

Some messages are so crap I can read them without opening the message. I wouldn’t bother replying to a shit message either. Just block. Why should I make an effort when they haven’t?

There’s a difference between interacting with someone on the forums because it is part of a discussion, and using the forums to directly get around a block.

For example, I have replied to many forum posts where the OP has blocked me. But I’m not asking ‘OP why have you blocked me? What have I done wrong?!’ And the same has happened the other way round.

It is all about time. I look after our profile and S just goes through messages with me to decide if we are interested in anyone. If someone clearly hasn't taken the time to read our profile, I.e. sends a one line message, has no profile photos of their own, sends dick pics, doesn't send a face pic etc, then it usually us an instant block and delete to hide then from any future searches. If someone has read the profile and sends us ice pics then we will always reply, even to say sorry but there is no interest. As we are so busy at the moment it can often be a while before we both get a chance to look through things and then reply too.

First of all if you say you are happy for them to just delete and you don't intend to keep trying to bother them with messages then it makes no difference to you, unless you do in fact want to keep bothering them!

Also one reason I think people have missed out is that if you are someone who filters/blocks messages from all men while you are bombarded and lift it again when you have been getting through them, that this filter does not work for people who have previously messaged you!

So by the time someone has said 500 no thanks and puts the filter on temporarily while you go through the current lot, all of those 500 men can still message you out of the blue filling your inbox again.

I only do this to people who I know I am not going to meet or hit one of the other criteria we have for blocking (like abusive, too young, etc)

Problem comes when you get more than 100 messages a day there's no page scrolling through messages

One night being on chatroom I had well over 800 messages after I deleted my inbox. Can only see the 1st 100 without deleting.

It doesn't make a difference if you reply to a person or not if you put filters back on. They can still message you again. Fab needs a reset on the filters option blank slate your inbox. Otherwise it's a delete profile and start again or make a new one and have both one for chatrooms no one can message you and other for messages and reply to who you want when you can see the message.

Blocks make it all the easier but quite a few make a new profile then send the same copy paste shit again on new profile then wonder why they get blocked again.

A local guy goes through on average 2 profiles a week and uses the same photos. A lot of these guys make more effort trying to get round the blocks than wondering what they are doing wrong in the first place
