Yep. All the time. There's a lot of "no bi men" "no trans" and "no -insert ethnicity-". Just say you're racist queerphobe and go

Sometimes I block if I don't fit someone's type (if you're looking for athletic I'm not it) but that's usually reserved for people who I find too hot to ignore

We’ll pre-block for several reasons, mainly as a filter.

If someone is too close to us or has most of the things we’re not looking for.

If they’ve appeared on our ‘looked at you’ list and don’t fit what we’re looking for.

It’s just a filter. We have preferences.

Yep.

Mainly because it cuts down on browsing time. If we see someone we're 99% sure we'll never be interested in then we hit the block button.

It's just a filter, albeit a permanent one.

We generally just delete the dull 5 word messages but if someone keeps sending them then they'll be added too.

No issues with blocking at all. Why would there be? We're talking about total strangers on an online platform.

I’ve pre blocked some. Those I think it’s as clear as day that we’d never talk in here and we’d have very little in common.

Status updates. The profile text etc, we’d never match up even for a chat.

I absolutely do. This site for me is to match with people for meets. If it becomes obvious from something on their profile or something in the forum that we wouldn’t be compatible I will block to prevent them coming up in future searches. Saves both of us time in my view

simple stuff like "420 more than friendly"

Must be completely shaved,soft swap only,only the guy plays, stuff that doesn't fit what we are looking for. We're not here to look at pics and won't meet these profiles so why not block them?

I don't search for profiles so only click on those I don't recognise in the forums or on local updates and if they have something in their bio that doesn't appeal or I find obnoxious or it's full of misandry I'll block.

Also I’ll block those who mention drugs, money, bareback, putting up their phone number, putting up their address, those who have verifications from people I’ve blocked etc.

Most times, i pre block based on things a person might have said on the forum, where it is clear we would be fundamentally opposed in ideaology.

Other major pre blocks stem from not fitting in with threir preferences (especially when they repeatedly view my profile, but explicitly state that they don’t meet black folks). Just saves all involved parties time and effort.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I've searched a few without finding the answer. If we do a pre-emptive block because we've spotted someone we know in real life, how much of our profile, status updates etc can they see? I know they can see forum posts, but how much other stuff is still visible.

Recently been chatting to a few couples who are way out of our league. They have been lovely but have been thinking of blocking them .

This is only because I don't think it will go any further, even though we'd love to, it's like we are teasing ourselves with someone out of our reach.

Unrequited lust, it's a bummer. To block or not to block that's the question.

Anyone else feel like this?

Also good to know, thank you! We're on the forums a fair bit but think they'd be unlikely to recognise us from the profile pic. Never going to be face pics on newly uploaded. And hot pics is wishful thinking

Pre blocking is great. I use it as a filter for those who I am not compatible with, or just purely won't be interested in meeting. I find it a way to save their time as well as mine.

It won't stop me chatting in clubs or on the forum, just saves them from wasting the time to ask to meet.

Using the site for selection of potential play mates. Could be made easier if you could fully deselect things or gender types you do not find sexually attractive. This would disenable all those play preferencies genders from seeing or contacting you in the first instants. Thus removing the need to try and dissuade participant from access. Or simply let them read your profile and understand they are probably going to be told no thank you or be blocked with whinging about it!
