Some people block if they’re certain they aren’t interested in meeting you, so you won’t accidentally contact each other again.

Some block if you live too close.

Or if you’re into something they aren’t.

Two words: inbox management. If someone is not interested in someone else, they will often block them so both parties do not waste their own time in the future. I struggle to understand what is so wrong with that.

Don't take it personally OP.

You maybe nice, polite & respectful, but you may not be what someone is looking for.

I block people for lots of reasons, not just the ones who send, idiotic FAF messages.

Doesn't mean alot have done anything wrong, often it's because they're local to me, and I may actually know them or have rlf friends in common, they don't match my preferences, have maviewed my profile multiple times, which in my experience means I'll get a message shortly, and I'm saving us both wasting our time.

They maybe the nicest of people but I just don't want to interact with them

Why is it their loss? It was their choice to block for whatever reason they saw fit. It's obviously a benefit to them not a loss.

OP there will always be a reason you find yourself blocked by someone. Generally you'll never find out. It doesn't change the situation and if the reason turned out to be something you couldn't change (height, age, location, dick size, sexuality, skin colour....you know.....personal preferences) then knowing wouldn't benefit you in any way.

Nothing wrong with it. But if I message someone a perfectly polite message, with a couple of face pics, and I’m verified.... and that alone is enough to get me blocked it seems a bit of an over reaction. Arrogant even, if there’s an assumption that I’m going to send more messages. That’s how it comes across anyway.

No, to be fair this subject has cropped up on the forums a few times, and I guess I can kinda see the reasoning behind it. If it has been someone’s experience that they are often then bombarded by multiple further messages, then blocking everyone they’re not interested in becomes their default.

But my view would probably be that people get blocked after doing something unreasonable. So, taken in isolation, from my perspective, being blocked without having done anything remotely unreasonable *seems* like an overreaction. It comes across as arrogant because the perceived implication is that I’m going to then be a dick and bombard the person with further messages.

I do appreciate that women have to put up with a lot of shit on here though, and it’s largely down to men and women looking through opposite ends of the same telescope.

So because you send a nice message with pics and are verified, it's arrogant if someone doesn't want to meet you and blocks you? It's a way of managing emails. You are coming across arrogant and entitled yourself.

Why is blocking seen as a personal attack! It stops any repeat messaging in six months when you have forgotten about messaging previously, it also stops you both coming up in local news feeds, searches etc and preventing someone that they/you might actually be interested in being in the list instead. It isn't just to stop people you dislike from contacting you, it is a very practical tool. Unfortunately some people aren't grown up enough to see things from more than one perspective , it seems.

They send me abuse or repeatedly pester me

They send me three or more first messages which show they haven't read my profile

Bad experiences after meeting them

I know them in real life

They have fake pictures or are asking for/ offering money

I think the norms here take some getting used to, and it can feel a bit abrupt, rude, like a meat market. I can see being a bit put off or offended if someone blocks you. (I've felt that way myself sometimes)

I can also see guys feeling really put out, say, that they send me well wishes or ask me a question in a way that would work in a pub ("how are you, how are you finding Fab?") and getting an instant delete.

Things do just work differently here, and I appreciate that it can be hard for everyone.
