"I took a lot of stick for blocking so many people when the subject was aired a year or so ago, these days more and more people are finding it suits them. As some have said it prevents repeat messages after you have declined someone. For those who use the chatrooms it slows down the pace of the room if you block anyone you are never going to talk to or meet. For some that would be those without pictures on thier profiles or perhaps one line profilers, married and cheating people, those into things you are not like watersports or such like. There are many reasons why the block list can be used, it's rarely personal, it is just a way of cutting down on unwanted mail. For myself I block locals who have no photographs, it's one thing to be recognised in the street but when you have no idea that the person is on the site it is a bit disconcerting. We were recognised as site members by someone at the gym we use recently it was harmless and the person who recognised us did have pictures on thier own profile so we were able to read about them in the same way they had read about us. People do get upset at being blocked but I don't think they should, move on it means nothing, if you say hello to someone in a bar and they opt not to say hello back you rarely get upset by it." I agree with you blocking people, at the end of the day if they dont meet your criteria the there is no problem, however I cant agree with the last statement, if I said hello to someone and they ignored me I would think they were bloody ignorant | |||

"Within our profile we have a password which must be quoted when messaging us If the password is not quoted, it shows our profiles not been read, result, no password = blocked If members don't have time to read our profile, we don't have time for them! " We do that also. Bottom of the profile, a keyword to put as subject. But still each day, so many emails without it. | |||

"i normally block if a person just wont take no for an answer, had one guy yesterday decided to give up fab coz i wouldnt verify him after meeting for a coffee, he only wanted me to do that so he could meet someone who would only meet if verified........ i didnt verify him so he left........ he threw his teddies out the cot" Why wouldnt you verify him? Was he not who he said,was he really a woman? Did you catually meet him? Can I ask,do you not think a woman has met your next man that your going to meet and verified him maybe and your going to meet him. So why would it be a problem you verifing a guy that is about to meet someone else before meeting you. If you met him for coffee then it must have been(I guess)as your interested in seeing if the chemistry is there to possibly meet him yourself for fun. Now I may have read this wrong but if your saying a man messaged you to meet him for a coffee for you to verify him so he can meet someone else and not you then can understand as that may be seen as cheeky. Am slightly confused. | |||

"ive started to block and delete repeat offenders who message me not understanding the word "no" and believe it or not its nit just single men, a few couples recently have been very abusive and rude so yes i have blocked " I have had to block a few guys who also dont know the meaning of NO, but some of them are getting sneaky by setting up another duplicate account similar profile writing but either a different location, age, username etc but when they message me they are using the same old pics which gives the game away slightly and i usually have a good eye for a guy that has sent a pic before and been turned down by me xxx Lois xxx | |||

"Grey that is your choice to block or not xxx Others may block for that" What i was referring to was the comment about someone who gets blocked and sets up a completely new profile, abuses someone, gets blocked and starts again It just seemed strange that i look at the picture the guy had on his profile and thought, im sure ive seen it before on someone else profile so im wondering if he either, deleted a profile and set up a new one, or he has 2 profiles with the same picture hedging his bets so to speak. Also ive one guy who seems to have changed colours in his pictures | |||

"we purposely made ours a long profile to catch people out who dont read it.....soon s out the idiots who cant be arsed......and it works" What is it with people on here thinking that those that can't be bothered to read a massive long profile are all idiots? I'm a perfectly well adjusted, friendly, normal guy but I can't bothered to read massive long waffling profile because I have a life! People have often said in reply to those that moan about not getting any meets that a FAB introduction is akin to walking into a pub and trying to introduce yourself to everyone at the same time. Some people say 'if I've bothered to write a long profile, the least you could do is read it'...no! I don't want to read your life story, I don't want to have to write down all the things you don't want and go back through them and check them off to make sure I satisfy your criteria and end up being the one person left on FAB who you might actually be interested in! As for this password guff, looking through some of the posters on this thread who have stated they use them, it seems to me they're the ones who have the massive long profiles and a list of what they aren't looking for but want to actually make you read what they have to say. No thanks I do read profiles and if I send you a message and you aren't interested, by all means block me. I understand why you've done and have no problem with it but should people really be proud of the size of their block list????? Is that a measurement by which you want others to judge you? 'Oooo, check out her/his/their block list, they must be popular!!' | |||

"have read your profile, and it seems to be a cocktail of don't. That's fine, but do you ever get any meets? " LOl. er, yes I get alot of meets. I am lucky in the fact that I get alot of people wanting to meet me as do other single females. If you scroll down to my verfications you wil see I get plenty of meets and never short of offers from lovely people but often the offers are from those that dont bother to read. | |||

'Oooo, check out her/his/their block list, they must be popular!!'" In answer. Can anyone see my block list? Dont think so. My block those that dont read thread was purely me stating that after 4 years of doing this and getting mail time and time again to people I have already said no to its suddenly made me think its better to block them to save me time. If you can be bothered thats your choice but you will likely miss out on(IMHO) many meets as many people on here want people to actually be arsed to read. If a person cant be bothered to make the effort in reading a profile then they cant be bothered to make sure they do fit into what I am looking for and get to know me.What else cant they be bothered in. Foreplay, smelling nice?? I know its all effort! Sorry if a man needs to make an effort. I take hours getting ready,its called making the effort. Sorry but I am not going to waste my time replying to everyone man that cant be bothered to read. Its not very hard normally. Its a bit of effort. Those that do read it and note the keyword get a nice reply and then I look and read their profile to see if we match up. For every 80 man/couples/single fems that dont make the effort there are some lovely ones that do make the effort. High 5 to those that do xxx | |||

"Tongue in cheek here..... live for the moment, I did begin to read your profile but it got so long and I was tired. Can you accomodate me? No? Sorry did I miss the last bit on your profile about accomodating as I couldnt be bothered to read that far. See how it works. Hope you do see that as me taking the mick but in a nice way. Does it give you food for thought? If yes great, if no fair enough xxxx" Taken as given Fruit You didn't have to read the whole profile to find if I can accommodate you...its just under the heading 'Meeting', the bit that says 'can't accommodate'... Lol! I totally know where you're coming from and I wasn't actually having a pop at you directly, I actually think you've got a really good profile. It was more the ones you have to scroll down to reach the bottom of the intro description. Lol@ my profile being so long! xxxx | |||

Hence my tongue in cheek reply at prooving its easy to miss something important if you dont read the profile. I know my profile needs redoing but it always ends up a list of what i dont want and less of what I do lol | |||

"Ive been told my profile is long, but i think it says everything i wanted it to say. Ive now got my message filter set so that only guys with pictures and verifications can message me, it has cut my in box right down and the messages i receive tend to be well written ones" . Nah, it is not THAT long! | |||

"Ive started to block everyone im not interested in, saves lots of time and effort" Welcome to the world of Madchick. Blocked another 3 today who can't read, didn't do as the profile asked or were totally NOT what the profile asked for. Whats the point of giving them the chance to ping you back, moaning about deleting their message or worse, sending you the same message 2 weeks later. I have started sending a message back though...... standard cut and paste. "Thank you for your message. However, I only shag literate men, and as you obviously can't/won't read, I won't bother even thinking about it. Idiot" send, back into the message, block user, delete. Done! | |||

I verify to say the person is the person in the photos on the profile when I met them for a drink wether there is any play or not or wether I will meet him again. | |||
