I'm not being rude or abusive to anyone, I send face pic and follow everything in the bio, just being a genuine nice guy and I just get instant blocked for no reason.

Anyone know why this happens and do you have any advice

People don't want to waste time always seeing the same incompatible profiles.

Blocking the ones that are never going to interest you makes it easier to see the other options.

It's not always a personal affront or something you've done wrong.

It's just a matter of efficiency

A block is a "thanks but no thanks" without any back chat.

People use it as a filter, its not always something you have said or done, it just means they aren't interested and to stop themselves getting more messages they block.

Only advice I can give is get thicker skin or this place won't do you any good at all!

People don't block for no reason. They do it for many reasons including

They don't want to communicate with you, they know you, they don't think you're compatible, you're too close to home and many more.

It's not the best feeling I know.

Its never for no reason. They'll have a reason, it's just you don't need to know what it is.

Could be done for a hundred reasons, your profile doesn't stand out in anyway. Put up a profile pic, rethink your blurb otherwise you are another blank profile in the sea of blank profiles.

Your profile reveals nothing about you. No pictures and no notion of who you are or what you enjoy. Buzz words read like a CV. Most of us block profiles that could be anyone fishing for pictures or doxy material

We block people if they get sexual too soon, they aren't what we are looking for and they clearly didn't read the profile or they ask for snap/kik.

We have been blocked for just saying hello so it is what it is.

My reason, only mine, is that I would block as you have no pic. To me it's lazy. I see the profile as a form to fill out and blank sections make it incomplete.

My apologises, my advice I woundnt spend to much time or energy devoted to something you'll probably never find thr answer to.

Instead look at what you can do to improve your chances of getting a response on here. Look at your profile as a shop window and sell yourself, to capture other people's attention...

Most people are not mutually compatible with most other people, including because they don't find you physically attractive.

Blocking prevents any further investment of time and energy into something that is going nowhere. Never flog a dead horse. Be grateful that you have a crystal clear answer to whether or not you were compatible. Like most others, you are not.

You did your best, presumably, with the interesting message and having a top grade profile. Now you move on and won't waste further time on the dead horse.

Yea, see this is one thing I'm still getting over being on here, is when people ignore you're message or block or whatever, it's not personal in relation to you or the message you sent (as long as you were kind and not a dick obvs lol). So not taking it to heart too seriously is key. It can make me be really self critical sometimes and that's frustrating cos I'm aware it's not something personal.

Why should I? If people choose not to read profiles or can't be bothered to look at what people are after, it's their problem....not mine.

Penclawdd

Reasons I block: blank profile (yup, I know mine is), limited text, crude user name, crude or derogatory terms used in profile text, lazy opening messages, overly sexual opening messages, repeated messaging.

Nobody owes anyone anything on here not even a reason for deleting a message =means not interested.

Blocking a profile normally reasons would be you are not for them. Or rude messages that I block

the block button is a tool and a very good one too i block for many many reasons and it makes my life on fab way way easier ... as i meet guys only via fab i dont block them at the filters i pre block anyone whom i feel is not for me for what ever the reason and my block list must be in the 1.000s..

your biggest problem is your yet another guy you outnumber women and couples by big big percentages/ % 100's to 1 ...your second biggest problem will be your age yes there are women who meet younger guys 26 is my bottom age but the vast majority wont .... you'll need thick skin as i would not want to be a guy on here or the scene as its for most non rewarding a huge chunk of men get nowhere some will get bits and a few will have goldenballs and do no wrong...

being blocked is not alway because you've done wrong there are many other reasons

Lots of reasons I block

Profiles are just cock pics

Too close to me

Repeated messages

There is a woman on here who fucks everyone and anyone and barebacks. I’ve blocked the guys she’s been with.

I’m in a bad mood and their stupid messages have annoyed me.

I block the profile if they've ignored my message, no point pestering them. Or if I'm sick of seeing the same 65 year old man in knickers who clearly doesn't match my interests

That's so unnecessary. People can be vile when they're hidden behind their phone & that's not exclusive to Fab

Don't pay any attention to 'em. You sound like a nice guy. Fab can be brutal for guys on here but hopefully you'll find some decent people to interact with.

"Maybe they are vegan?

Thus one went right over my head

Your fab name when read quickly could be considered a bit crude/ icky by some ie. meat eater (which could be offensive to vegans or those who think you’re referring to women as meat)"

This is a very good point.

You have no profile, your profile is your advert here, you probably lead with sex even though you say you are polite, its just like life here you can't talk sex until you know them, their will obviously be exceptions to this rule, make your profile the best it can be and add some pics

I love the block button.

I even block multiple-viewers if I don't like the look of their profile, or my toes curl at their status update!

I just don’t want to see some people or their updates. I don’t mean any offence, but I equally don’t expect any.

If you haven't been nasty rude or abusive then some just block if you're not their type.

It's annoying but remember the women on here get 50-100 messages a day maybe more, and quite often alot of repeat offenders who keep messaging them so it's a way to try to stop and reduce further messages in the future.

Don't take it to heart

There is a reason you are blocked. It is a reason that only the blocker knows.

My advice is - Don't take it personally. Don't expect people to have the same expectations as yourself. Don't give up. Don't whinge. Don't sweat it.

You're asking for advice on your status so I'll give my take.

Your profile tells me nothing about you except where you're originally from.

Is this long term in the south east or are you working there?.Reason I asked that is I'd get rid of the north west but if you are permanently down south now.

What can you offer someone who meets you and what are your interests?.

Most women and couples will check a profile before they decide to delete or reply and if there's nothing much there, they won't respond.

They may block you because many men can get abusive or start asking why not if told no. I know not all are like that, but we don't know who will/won't be.

Add some more pics op and pad out your text a bit more,so you stand out a bit more on here.

Um. This.

The only thing I could add is if it’s a never and not just a no you’re blocked. I just don’t care to spend my time letting people down softly. We're adults.

Don’t let it beat you up, you may simply not be what they were looking for , and rather your profile keeps appearing in their search, a simple block , acts as a filter for many folk, with out any intended malice.

They aren't interested in any interaction with you and blocking you ensures that and that you don't show up on any of their searches, who's near etc... It's not the personal slight alot of people seem to think it is

Agreed. I block folks that don't respond to avoid messaging them by mistake again and seeming naggy. I also block folks that come up in my local area feed if our interests or tick box bits aren't compatible. Functional thing, not personal.
