I have. Why go to the trouble of hitting block? Most of us realise that no reply means not interested.

I wish men did realise no reply means not interested or even when it's a polite "No thank you" as some just don't realise it's a No.

Exactly, I have threads of men talking exclusively to themselves for months in my PMs. One wouod think they would give up, after two maybe 3 messages with no answer. Nope.

When someone isn't what I'm looking for I block. What's the point seeing their profile again.

On a separate note. What do hedgehogs eat for dinner?

Prickled onions.

If you're blocked you won't show in their searches and you won't accidentally message them again. It's genuinely no trouble to hit the block button

I'm blocked by people I've never seen or spoken to and I'll never know why.

It's a fact of fab life....

I'd block a blank profile too.

It happens, they weren't interested.

I blocked after one message! They messaged me asking why I had looked at their profile and fabbed a couple of photos as I wasn’t what they were looking for. I realised that when I saw their profile and hence didn’t message. If I hadn’t read their profile I wouldn’t have known - Very random

If they weren't interested, why would they get involved in a conversation with you? It's easier to just block, as plenty of people on here don't understand a simple "thanks, but no, thanks" and either go all abusive or bargaining. Blocking is a clear way of letting the other person know the person/people they messaged are not interested. It's nothing personal, OP.

Blocking people stops you coming up in their searches and stops them coming up in yours. It’s a useful tool

They're just not interested.

Blocking means neither of you waste time rereading or messaging when it won't go anywhere.

It's not an offensive thing. Just a pragmatic one

This. Until we started doing it we would get multiple messages from the same people, who we’d never engaged with. Usually a new message after a photo. i got weirded out being on hotlists (i’m assuming thats how they quickly picked up a pic) from those we had zero interest in.

By bitter experience most men do if they have been here a while.

It's still nice to get a reply even if no thanks.

But I fo understand if they don't.

Three responses to negative messages, in my opinion.

Acceptance, they don’t message back.

Questioning, want to know why.

Abuse.

That’s why it’s easier to ignore and block.

As much as we'd love to message everyone, even if its a sorry you're not for me (I do as many as I can) it's sometimes easier to just delete. If I'm not interested in people I block them, nothing personal, just not for us. And yes I've deleted people without them messaging, just sick of seeing them on the newsfeed lol.

So don't take it personally. It's nothing on you, just down to personal preference.

"Blocking people stops you coming up in their searches and stops them coming up in yours. It’s a useful tool "

This. Don’t take it personally. If I message somebody and they delete my messsge without responding then I block them. Saves me messaging again when they clearly aren’t interested.

Best not to take it personally as others have said. I recall once being in the chat, watching a cam. There was no interaction other than viewing the cam and I was blocked.

I moved on, she was nothing special

There are thousands of guys 'available' for couples and SFs. You show up on our searches every time, you look at us, you fab our pics, you message us, repeat to fade multiplied by the thousands. Usernames are almost irrelevant, it's difficult to remember them all.

Each time one of the above things happens we might click on your profile to see if you're of interest. It only takes a second to decide No, but we might see a profile 10 times in a week, so it's easier to block you so we don't have to keep clicking on you.

We have thousands on our block list

Meant to add, the only real reason not to block people of no interest is if you're the sort that collects Fabs. Fab if you'd fuck this etc etc, they're never gonna fuck you but they love the attention

"I have. Why go to the trouble of hitting block? Most of us realise that no reply means not interested."

Some people don't realise (and send abuse), so some others have decided to block people they know they won't be interested in, to save future hassle.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm saying this is what happens sometimes.

We block for all sorts of reasons most of them aren't personal we just have no interest in meeting the people for one reason or another and it saves getting multiple messages we have no interest in

If people block you the best thing is to just move on it's one less fish in the sea but there's still plenty more

People who send messages like "when am I coming round?" or "are you free to suck me now" i will usually block without responding.

Its normally pretty simple. Depends how much patience you have. We state prefer black guys but are pestered by white and Asian guys constantly, dont know what your missing, your loss, why?, just make this one exception. If we say black guys only we get nasty messages, some very nasty. We dont want to meet smokers but they persist and all of them just 'vape' or hardly ever smoke odd that Easier at times simply to block. We try and be polite but often it simple doesnt work

Just to clarify, how do you know when you are blocked?

Is it when the other person vanishes without a trace?

Clicking on there profile, it'll state Profile Not Available.

So if you sent a message and try to look at their profile in your sent messages and the above, you're likely to be blocked.

If guys on here didn’t act like keyboard warriors or desperate, women wouldn’t be hounded and get abuse from simply replying with a polite no thanks. And feel their only option is to block…

For me a block is an easy way to know ‘not interested’ and much prefer to chat to someone who is interested…

Possibly. We had a couple message us and saw straight away we knew him. Seeing as he’s not a particularly pleasant person in work life, decided to block the profile.
