"Welcome to the world of men on fab, ha, we get blocked all the time so don't worry about it..... Or, maybe he's done it by accident on his phone, have you no other way of contacting him?" Everyone gets blocked. I've literally just this minute been blocked for saying I won't meet someone. He won't message me again accidentally that way and he won't show up in my searches, so it's a good thing. | |||

"I have been messaging a guy on fab then all of a sudden am blocked yet there was nothing to make him do that.No reason." That happens at least 10 times a day for the average man on Fab, but shock horror, its happen once to a woman, lets plaster it all over the forums, how dare they do that. | |||

"I've blocked a lady who said she wasn't interested so I wasn't tempted to send another message, then unblocked her only to find she's blocked me. I think the message is pretty clear - a block is a 'not interested' so move on to someone else. " If I find anyone has blocked me then I'll counter block back - I'm petty like that I rarely block first (only once when a gay guy was becoming a persistent pain). You do get some strange blocks though - yesterday someone Fabbed my pics, sent me a wink, so I winked back. Later on I noticed they'd messaged me to thank me for the wink - when I went to message back (a few hours after their initial message) I found I was blocked!? Strange but their prerogative of course | |||

Everyone gets blocked. I've literally just this minute been blocked for saying I won't meet someone.

This is the main reason I block, if they're not interested in meeting or my mesaage gets deleted, it just saves time when I do searches in the future, and of course not mesaaging them again further down the line, I've been blocked by forum users who live miles away, they obviously don't like my comments, that's the only other reason I can think of for being blocked. | |||

How is it their loss they didn't want to meet you? I hate the Saying it's their loss, it's not as they didn't lose anything in the first place. In response to the OP people block for a variety of reasons you will send yourself potty taking every block you get personally maybe he just didn't like you after chatting to you for a bit. | |||

" people say "oh well its their loss" when something like this happens so that person can feel better about the situation and move on without too much negative thought. It's sure better than thinking "oh well its my loss" Don't worry about it if people want to feel that its "Their loss" if it makes them feel a tiny bitbetter then thats a good thing surely. | |||

"I block people for all kinds of seemingly spurious reasons. It's not meant to be an insult." It's not an insult. Someone must have an incredibly thin skin and a huge feeling of a need for acceptance to be hurt by a stranger not wanting further contact with them for whatever reason. Do these people cry and complain if a stranger doesn't return their smile in a street or a shop? Mountains. Molehills. | |||

"I have been messaging a guy on fab then all of a sudden am blocked yet there was nothing to make him do that.No reason." I sometimes block people who I have contacted or they dont answer. It saves me pestering them or being a pain.I also block people who are very self opinionated or set their age limits and then complain when they dont get messages. Having the private notes on the side that you can save on does not always work as it resets, also the preferences do not do what they are supposed to. | |||

"It's slightly bizarre if you've been messaging, think it's going well & then you get blocked. I would probably think WTF is that all about. As there is fuck all you can do about it you need to put it behind you & forget about him." Or her I guess people do it for a variety of reasons and personal preference (which is my personal choice) however I wouldn't block a friend | |||

"Welcome to the world of men on fab, ha, we get blocked all the time so don't worry about it..... Or, maybe he's done it by accident on his phone, have you no other way of contacting him? Everyone gets blocked. I've literally just this minute been blocked for saying I won't meet someone. He won't message me again accidentally that way and he won't show up in my searches, so it's a good thing." I use block for this all the time.. saves unnecessary efforts on both sides. | |||

"A few weeks ago, I sent a no thanks message to someone. I didn't block him. This morning I got the same message from him again. If I block him, to prevent him contacting me for a third time, he'll probably think that's for "no reason". Should I really be expected to send another polite no thank you and explain I'm blocking him to prevent him messaging me again? Just because he can't keep his own notes on who he's messaged and who said no? I don't see why. Y'see guys complain when we don't reply. When we do, we get 'but why?', abuse, attempts to persuade us or they try again a few weeks later. But when we block, it's for "no reason" and we're still wrong and unreasonable and awful." it gets quite petty i had the same thing with ex playing the blocking game then I unblocked her so she could see what I was doing | |||
