I messaged a beautiful couple with a face pic attached being very complimentary and they said I wasn't for them which is fair enough. I replied thanking them for replying and wished them happy fabbing and the result they replied exactly and blocked me.

Wouldn't worry about it, saves you messaging them again in future by mistake

I've found I've been blocked by a couple of people - similar circumstances, think it's more a reflection on other people who don't take no for an answer rather than on you

At least that's how I view it

I wouldn’t worry about it. They probably weren’t looking to get into convo with you. A lot of folk use the block button regularly. I certainly do.

Don’t worry, OP, it’s not personal. Loads of people (including me) use it as a filter because I know we’ll never meet or chat.

"Why would it bother you. You already knew they where not interested "

Maybe it makes the sender feel like they have done something bad?

A block isn’t meant to be a personal attack or insult. It’s just saying we aren’t interested in communicating with you in the future.

Because your thank you could (and I stress could) be felt by them to be a foot in the door to continue the conversation and persuade them to change their mind

This guy gets it, genuinely happens a lot and my block button is almost like my protection from the backlash, raising a drawbridge so to speak. It’s not against the person who messaged, it’s so I feel safe because I’ve been stung too many times before

Blocking helps users create their own platform on the site don't take it personally it's just like a filter you may not be the first nor last

In our early days here we’d get exactly the same cut and paste messages from local guys on a regular basis.

It became easier to block those that are not of interest to us.

Don't panic OP. It's nothing personal.

We block profiles we'll never be interested in when browsing just so they don't keep showing up in future searches. We'll never have had any interaction with them and the first they'll know about the block is if they ever try and view or message us.

It's just a permanent filter. Not an insult.

Now that's 100% a reason to block... Why would you keep trying if you get told no

Because unfortunately some people don’t have any self respect and start bombarding messages even when told not interested.

Absolutely this the sheer amount of people who message again and again means blocking puts a stop to it before it even starts

Good idea I think, I appreciate its a blunt tool when you get that notice but better for everyone after a polite no thanks. Move on but don't give up.

Blocking is part of fab. Sometimes you understand, sometimes not. I've had both of these... Just have to take it in your stride and move on.

Its rude i know but its part of the rules so you have to accept it, people do it to limit messages also it does save you messaging again later, just move on and toughen up a bit it will happen a lot but don't give up hope one persons no is anothers yes

Blocking is such a good idea for all involved, to prevent further wasted expenditure of energy. Be grateful and move on

What do you think they meant by 'exactly'? I get the blocking, I do it too to save further contact if no interest.

I find too often that people that have already accepted a rejection end up messaging me again a week or two later. It just makes more sense to block them than have to go through the same nonsense everything they're too horny to remember they've already asked and had a no.

So many times we say no thankyou only for the guy to re message 6 weeks later with the same cut and paste message.

If we've said no thankyou once little will change our mind for a second time.

So we now block to save us all a bit of time.

Complain to the men. It's their fault.

Why do people get so hung up on being blocked. It's not some sort of punishment and it doesn't harm you in anyway.

People take it personally and they really shouldn’t. I sometimes even block from local updates if I don’t like the look of them. It just makes it all easier.
