Exactly this. I posted something, a regular forum user then sent me a nice private message. I went to reply to them and I was blocked. Make of that what you will

I've had similar, it's just weird.

I was looking at the forums earlier and there was a lady whose profile I wanted to check out. BLOCKED. Never spoken to her or looked at her profile previously.

Peculiar!

People use blocks for lots of different reasons. Some use them to preclude interactions with those that they’re not interested in meeting. It’s not a personal thing, it’s just that you’re not for them.

It might be a status update that they didn’t like or a post on a thread that you made.

Just try to forget about it and focus on those that do want to interact

It could be your profile, they know you, you're not their type or because of something you've said in the forum.

The majority of those on my block list are people I've never engaged with. If I see a profile that I've nothing in common with but they have inane or whiney updates I block them so my local updates are tidy and relevant.

She may've beat u to it and checked yrs out 1st and thought "Nahhhh not a match". Then hit the block. U don't ave to wait till someone contacts you to block 'em. U can call it peculiar if u want but at end of day its her profile and maybe she likes to have some control over who views it.

In her defence I've done it myself n don't need to justify it.

She could of seen your profile in search. She's blocked so as not to waste your time messaging.

I'm the same. Got to have tidy updates.

Really don't care who has me blocked. Good for them I say. I wouldn't want to associate with me either. I'm kinda fussy.

They recognise you, they're not attracted to you, they don't agree with something you've posted on your status or on the forum. Could be any number if things and I've done all of the above before.

It means you can enjoy the site your way. I know from a username/avatar/status update that someone is not for me - it's just a shortcut.

People block for a verity of reasons and everybody uses the block button differently.

For some people it's the last resort and they hardly block anybody and for others it's just another filter.

I block because I know I'm not gonna meet that person, Because they are too local, Because I've had a message off them and just wasn't interested and the list goes on.

The ones that mystify me are the ones im chatting to and having a really good conversation and getting on really well then suddenly i go to respond to a message and find they’ve blocked me. I sometimes wonder if they’ve done it by accident and are then sitting wondering why I haven’t answered their message. I guess its just ahhh well and move on. Nothing you can do

I do it all the time, it saves me looking at profiles that I don't like such as 420 and chem friendly, people who make noises about big cocks or are just arseholes. That's what it's there for, blocked!

I can’t ever see someone ‘accidentally’ blocking you, so it looks like something happened and they decided not to take it any further. But that doesn’t mean you did something wrong, it’s just an easy way to stop further conversation that’s all.

I went through a stage of blocking anyone who wasn't looking for single guys, bisexuals, etc but gave up in the end and unblocked then all. I have blocked a few who are either irritating, don't read my profile about not being bi, or don't respond to my nice messages as they clearly aren't the sort I want as friends. Couldn't care less who has blocked me, I probably don't even know.

Who knows why?

I block those who ignore/delete messages, those with negative/bitter profiles or who I think aren't a match with me and would never ever meet. There is no reason to have their profiles shown to me everytime I hit browse for profiles so it helps clear up the searches and makes finding those who would be interested a little bit easier.
