FabSwingers.com forum: Thoughts on blocking?

So, I rarely block people on here. I know if someone is a massive bellend, or I've had a run in with them, if they're on my block list. However, am I using it too sparingly? I have people that chat to me, and despite one word replies from me, showing no interest, but being polite, they continue to message. I'm not meeting just now anyway, but even when I was, there would be people who would continue to chat to me about menial things, and it really adds on to my time on here, when I have to reply.

My question is, do you block these people? People you have no interest in, but haven't been arseholes, or been rude? They're just persistent, or not your type? It would MASSIVELY cut down the amount of messages I receive, and mean I don't have to reply to be courteous xx

I block anyone that’s rude to me. Ignores me (usually means they are not interested) or people I have no intention of meeting.

Saves a lot of time!

The block button is there for a reason. Use it as you wish!

Yes, that sounds ideal. Especially the people I have no intention of meeting, but continue to message for weeks and months. And I'm too bloody polite, and try to respond where possible xx

As Someone has already said you owe them nothing therefore no point in spinning things out with endless & useless messages that are not going to lead anywhere .

Put all your time into those you are interested in that’s what I do .

I’ve just asked a guy who he is and why he’s messaging me. He gives me a run down of what he’s doing daily, has done for about 10 days. Wishes me a good day and that’s it. I don’t always respond, because his profile is shite and has no information. I’ve finally caved, asking him what he wants….

….I’ll keep you updated. Bet it’s the same bloke actually. I’ll message you x

It's good that you send replies to people you're not interested in, but I think they're gonna feel like that means there is a chance with you unless you're clear that nothing is going to happen.

There are times we've received one liner replies from people and wondered if it was worth pursuing, but then it's led to something good.

I would say give them a friendly no, maybe a sterner no, then just block them if they persist

We block people who we don't think we'd want to meet for various reasons. Sometimes it's just because they repeat message.

Like others have said use it however works best for you.

I understand wanting to be polite, but for us, getting one word replies to messages is actually more frustrating than no response or a straightforward no thanks. It wastes more of everyone's time.

We tend to reply to most messages even if it’s a polite no thank you.

We end up blocking if they don’t take no for an answer, become abusive or the generally rude vulgar messages.

We would have no intention of meeting these folk anyway

As soon as you reply it makes some guys think there’s a chance there (because most people don’t reply).

I block a lot. Saves my time and other people’s time.

I block if there’s no way I’d ever be inteteted.

If their profile is months/years old and says “fill in later”.

If their message is rude or offensive.

If they’re rude or offensive on the forum.

If their status either whinges too much, asks someone who has blocked them/filtered them to message or is looking for drugs.

Blocking is a good tool to use on here imo. It cuts down on pointless repeat messages that aren’t going to bring fun for everyone.

Also keep in mind that every person you reply politely too will be able to message again if you ever choose to filter who can message you, as it counts as a previous conversation.

I think too many people take being blocked way too personally, they look upon it as an insult or a punishment of some kind when it really isn't... Unless they really are being an arsehole of course.

I, like many people on here, use the block button as a tool, a filter if you like, to remove and de-clutter the wheen o' folk I'm never going to meet, have no interest in meeting or they have no wish to meet guys like me.

Using the block button isn't being rude, it's just another tool to use to make Fab life a little easier.

I've sent a handful of messages to people on here. A few have started a wee chat, a few have been read and deleted. I take the hint when the message is deleted and don't go crying into my corn flakes about it. Wouldn't for a second keep messaging when it's clearly unwanted.

My apologies if I didn't make it clear, but I tell them I'm not interested and then they continue to message. My question was whether it was harsh to block. I try to be considerate, where possible, because I'm aware that single males get it rough on here. I'm not aware there was anywhere that suggested I wasn't being an adult about it, since that's not synonymous with being polite or considerate

Tough one. But I'd personally think that one word answers weren't showing much interest at all and I'd more than likely leave it at that. Heard too many stories from female friends about just how creepy and persistent men are towards them and it's just terrifying to hear. Respect and decency along with good manners don't cost a penny

Sorry. I misread completely! At the end of the day blocking is a personal choice I'd say. Is it harsh, no, particularly if you don't want a given person repeatedly messaging you or _iewing your profile. Everyone will block for different reasons but at the end of the day it's up to each person on their reasons to block.

I block if a reply comes back saying not interested, or if an email is deleted without reply -obviously not interested,so saves me bothering them again.

It’s amusing that people always say on these threads that blocking someone for something they say on a forum is sad or they need to get out more or get a life if you block someone you haven’t personally spoken to.

The first guy I blocked from this forum was posting on a thread about anal and stated that if a woman didn’t like it he often found a hand on the neck persuasive.

Absolutely fuck all with my judgement, or my life, blocking people who come out with shit like that.

If only it was sufficient. But guys carry on with message after message until you either message or block and more often than not the message with have to be blocked anyway. If they were just ignored then we wouldn't see the wood from the trees in our inbox.

I use mine as a way of a filter

Take up a lot of my life?

If I’m reading a thread and a man indicates he’s a violent person who uses superior strength to get his way it takes two seconds to block him (and another few to report him).

Why would I want to just ignore it and risk coming across him in messages and not making the connection?

Why would anyone think the way to deal with men like that is to ignore them?

"I appreciate a "thanks for your message but your not my type sorry" message any day over ignores or hints "

I'll support this 100%.

With a 90%/10% ratio male to female on Fab it is clear who will be receiving the most messages.

Frankly a sperm has better odds of meeting a woman than a man on Fab.

Some of us read profiles, do not cut and paste replies, although some of the details can be rather repetitive, and send a thoughtful message. Do these stand out from the other dross listed above?

A simple "no thanks" takes a second to complete. It clears any doubt and shows a degree of respect and recognition that an individual has made an effort.

Or block. Its no insult, just saves everyone time.

Going on that ratio of men to women, how much time do you think we would have to spend sending every person a no thanks ontop of the people we already chat with, forums, doing our own searches and messages and perving. I used to try to reply to all but 9 out of 10 times it was matched with questions or abuse so had to press block anyway

I think you’re being way too nice you can’t possibly have the time to reply to everyone who messages you without it meaning you’re not spending time conversing with those you have an interest in.

I block for all sorts of reasons but if I get 3 messages from people I’m not interested in - and I delete those messages without reading usually as profile didn’t appeal - then I block.

There’s no point entertaining - and potentially giving false hope - to people you have no intention of meeting, if anything it’s probably kinder to ignore/block than keep chatting with them.

Out of curiosity say, a woman gets 100 messages each day, lets forget about the amount of these that must be repeat messages due to the maths,number of guys on the site, new guys joining etc.

The question I have is, how do you decide which messages to open? You wouldn't be able to read them all surely, so is it the title that makes you read it or do you open and read all 50?

It's sad to hear that, obviously people have different levels of respect. On the few occasions a reply has said "thanks bit no thanks" my 2 second reply is " thank you, happy fabbing". Doesn't take long.

Check profiles first (in stealth mode) if profile doesn’t appeal instant delete, if profile possibly ok open message if it’s basic/boring, offensive, rude or shows in some other way they aren’t for me I delete.

You can usually read the first line. I look at the profile and see how much they’ve put into it. Sometimes it’s just disgusting what people send unsolicited. I’m sure they wouldn’t be that brave face to face.

I block a lot, delete some and respond to the rest.

You can see the first line.

For me it’s profile name - some are instant delete.

Have a look at the profile to see if it’s a “fill in later” “ask me” type one or actually has anything on it. The wording on the profile also gives clues if I’m likely to get abuse for saying no.

Then open the message if the profile is decent.

Or block. Its no insult, just saves everyone time.

Thoughts, anyone?

Would you type out no thanks 100 times a day? And then deal with all the messages asking why not? If so you obviously have a lot of time on your hands.

We block people who contact us and it is clear they haven't read our profile. Don't get how people can't do the basic courtesy of respecting what others are looking for/ not looking for.

No idea, I'm lost. Damn Sat nav!

"I appreciate a "thanks for your message but your not my type sorry" message any day over ignores or hints

I'll support this 100%.

With a 90%/10% ratio male to female on Fab it is clear who will be receiving the most messages.

Frankly a sperm has better odds of meeting a woman than a man on Fab.

I was going to go to one of the socials but noticed that 5 of the women on the thread had blocked me. I've not spoken to any of them so I'm guessing it's been something I've said on the forum. Who knows

I used to try and bow out graciously if things weren't going according to plan and I simply didn't want to chat anymore. I'd say something along the lines of "thanks for the chat but you're not what I'm looking for, I'm not enjoying this anymore".

Some would take that like an adult. Others would come back at a later date with inane or bitchy comments.

So I save us both the hassle now and just block if I don't want to talk further.

Don’t forget, you’ll need an official letter if you’re going to block someone!

I’ve had friends who are blocked and the swear they didn’t block me and I’ve not blocked them checked out block list and we’re not on each other’s quick message to admin and it was fixed

As far as I’m aware I’ve only got 2 females blocked on 5 accounts

In the west.

I block rude and aggressive people from the forums and young guys, women and couples who look and Fab my profile, but I have a few reasons for blocking them.

I don't mind my photos being Fabbed but I don't want a teenager rocking up to me in a pub and saying I saw you on Fab.

I operate a "3 strikes and you're out" rule"! If you've sent 2 messages and I've not replied, then on receipt of the 3rd I block. Keeps it simple. Same with men that send the same cut n paste message!
