We block people who send offensive messages or who repeatedly send messages when they've been told 'no' again and again and again (gotta love the notes feature for being able to keep a record) Sometimes we've been asked to block someone so they don't mail us again (although why they don't block us in that case I haven't yet worked out!) |

"Not a one, no need to do it, my opinion only..... Just see it as the same as turning your back on somebody in a pub..... Downright rudeness x"
and they could make another profile start mailing again if they really wished to chat .... just see blocking as taking my time and i like reading post more.Blocking boring.

I don't block for the sake of it. All have been blocked for a reason . Mainly "rudeness" |

I have a fair few on my Block list, I'm a heightist so get my fair share of abusive mail, the senders end up Blocked for all the obvious reasons. Safest place for them, along with the usual crowd who just can't take no for an answer, after being told it 4, 5, 6, 7 times or more!! .  |

None
I understand why it is there and what it can be used for, but, for me, it isn't a feature I have needed to use.
It's always good to know it is there though. |

I actually don't like blocking people, but sometimes it is the only way to stop them from messaging over and over and over again. When people are being abusive, one message is more than enough... |

"How big is you're "blocked" list ? . I have 133 members on mine have just had a count up  "
Mine is getting very big!! Evidence of the lack of respect the men on here give single women! |

Some people will never block because they like the attention - ANY attention, bless em.
Some will block at the drop of the hat - highly strung - bless em.
Some will use the tool provided by the site to avoid further contact with people they have no intention of ever meeting - good on em.
I can't be arsed counting how many I have on block. All I know is they deserve to be there and I don't give them another thought. |

My new profile has turned out to be bit of an experiment. I rejoined after a break to catch up with some of my friends. I quickly wrote it with the intentions of re-doing it later.
But to my suprise after a couple of days I had over 100 messages! This can mean one of two things: 1, they haven't bothered to read it or 2, they couldn't give a shit what I say!!
In four weeks I've blocked over 200 people!!

Looking at it from the other viewpoint, we appreciate being blocked as it means we're not going to waste time looking at a profile of someone who has no interest in us. Thank you blockers! |

"Not a one, no need to do it, my opinion only..... Just see it as the same as turning your back on somebody in a pub..... Downright rudeness x"
its a facility of the site, people set out their preferences on their profile and use the filters etc..
its certainly not rude to block someone..
or are you saying 'we' should respond to the most banal, pathetic approaches from some muppets who have clearly not read our profile..
and if they have, knowing 'we' would not be compatible think 'yeh fuck it, will chance it'..?
would agree that turning ones back in a pub is rude, never done it and never would tbh..
its the wrong analogy in relation to the issue, imho.. |

I've got quite a few on mine but its got nothing to do with rudeness and everything to do with respect.
If I've messaged anyone and they just deleted my message without replying or they've been kind enough to say 'no thank you' then I block them as I don't want to message them again as thats whats disrespectful. They won't even know as I suspect that if they didn't look at my profile the first time round, they're unlikely to look at it ever again so they'll never be offended.

quite, any bloke claimiing he's got a hundred odd on his blocked list and then inferring the reason is because of rude messages he's getting is quite simply delusional.......unless of course said male is seeking other males |

Most of my blocked list are females ,, If you go to the trouble of writing a polite email not too short and not too long and include a face pic, and give it a good amount of time for them to respond then there is little else you can do, my reason for implementing a block is simply that they never show up in a search and I don’t make the mistake of contacting them again. each to thier own |

In the grand scheme of things not many - probably about a dozen and a half.
We block only those that deserve to be blocked. Its a real-world decision based on someones behaviour incompatibility, inability to appreciate our needs, what is said or failing to respect either of us - It's that simple, and certainly not 'off with their heads' for something trivial

I was under the impression that they cam up in search irrespective of whether you'd blocked them or not, certainly those that have blocked me do which I find pointless and irritating |

If they have blocked you, they shouldn't show on your 'who has looked at me' list irregardless of whether they have their profile set to show on said lists or not.
If they show up, it suggests they may have lifted their block - only to put it in place again when they realised who you were and why they blocked.
But once they block again, they should disappear ?
They will still show up in the Forums though irregardless of a block or not. |

I was referring to turning up in search as opposed to the "looked at me" section |

I am at a loss as to why anyone sees blocking as rude? There are really only two reasons why we block anyone. First, if they have been genuinely annoying (and that's very few tbh) and, secondly, if there has been an intro message (in either direction) and it's a no from us, or from them. Then we block purely to make sure they don't appear in the list if we browse and so that we are reminded not to message them again in error at some point in the future. We started using blocking that way a while back when we realised we had mailed a couple again after a few months, having been turned down by them earlier. The message log on the bottom left of their profile made us think all was okay, which wasn't correct. We just don't want to annoy anyone by mailing again and looking like a pain in the bum...  hence we block.

A block is so final and way less rewarding.
Why block when the facility is there to message the other person, psychologically torturing them over a prolonged period until either they block you or have a nervous breakdown. |

We don't have anyone blocked, but we'd use it if somebody was abusive or overly persistent.
We've only had one couple I would have considered blocking - we were chatting and they suddenly stopped answering and deleted all our messages, wtf??
No need to block them, I'll remember they're arseholes anyway |
