blocking after sending pic

Does anyone else think this is rude? Someone asks to see your face pic and instead of replying thanks but no thanks they just block you instead!

exactly this.

Some people probably just think it's easier than saying 'not for us'. I've done that after getting a face pic and then got shitty reply back some just don't take rejection well especially if they think it's to do with their looks!!

The only way we can answer this OP is that you put a face pic up and we can gauge if they were rude or justified?!?!

I have to agree its a little rude but at least you know either way that they are not interested.

I think this is totally fair , if someone sends a shitty reply after you have said no , then quite right block them, but to just block and not reply with a polite no is I think quite frankly crass at best . We wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that after all would we . Treat people how we would want to be treated .

OP im with you on this one even if it means getting shot down

I personally think that if you agree to exchange face pics then you should do so. After that you can say yes or no. To receive and then just block is rude and ill mannered.

It also leads the person being blocked to question the genuineness of people on here and be even more cautious when sending pics. Let's face it not everyone is open about being on a swing site and giving your face pic to someone who blocks you makes you wonder the authenticity of the site on a whole.

But if you're offended by being blocked or being ignored , how do you react to be actually told that you're not what the other person is looking for? And let's face it, if this is straight after you send a face pic it's going to be because they don't find you attractive.

If they replied saying thanks but not thanks, areas do you react to that?

Hi there,

Thanks for the contact, piccy, wink, reply, whatever. We've decided not to take this further but thank you for your interest in us. We wish you well.

Polite and too the point and not rude pointing out why which may cause offence. Doesn't always work but "Hey Sod em"

That is generally what we try to do.

I have sent pics then been instantly blocked if I am not for you no problem. Just a quick thanks but no thanks is fine then block saves time in the future so you don't message again it's not a big deal being blocked I don't think

We are on an adult site, I don't know why after asking to swop pics that people can't say " you are not for me sorry".

I've done the "Thanks but you're just not my type, have fun" and received horribly abusive messages back, so now I would tend to block and not reply if they aren't my type. That may seem rude or crass but I don't like been on the receiving end of abuse.

I've also had guys block me a d not reply after exchanging face pics, I take it as "I'm not their type" and happily move on. I don't see them as rude, crass or cowardly, like me they have probably had abuse for saying no and don't put themselves in that position any more.

We all use the site in our own way, if everyone just accepted that and used it his or her own way (within the rules) it would be a happier place.

It's very discourteous (but not suprising as we have also had that), a simple no thanks is surely not too much trouble.

exactly this. All very well doing the right Thing to please other people but having abusive comments sent to you of a very personal nature is far ruder than anyone ignoring you.

We think its rude to use a block as a reply. Our first reply would be sorry not for us. Most reply in a polite way, it saves wasting each others time. Any persistent messages after that get blocked.

It is a bit rude when a polite 'No Thanks' doesnt take a lot of effort. But then, some people get abuse when they have politely declined someone - maybe this profile in this case have suffered such abuse in the past so choose to simply block.

Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules on how the interaction should take place, you just have to accept that some people interact differently.

I have my standards and principles and as long as I keep those, it doesn't bother me what others do - I just move on.

Maybe if admin added a drop down option to messages, ie, thanks for xxxx but no thanks with option to block or not upon sending, like your profile let's chat further etc.

A simple option could be selected via a drop down and sent, taking split second, so no excuse that writing x amounts no thanks messages takes to long.

Keeps those wanting a reply happy, even if not reply they were seeking, stops sender being accused being rude etc

what are the alternatives, sending a message saying, we don't like the look of you, you have wrong colour eyes, no blocking is easiest, and saves any negatives, and message ping pong.

This isn't difficult to work out. They saw your face pic, didn't fancy it, and they blocked you. Call it rude, cowardly or anything else, blocking you still passes on the same message that a 'Thanks but no thanks' message would.

Some people might say it costs nothing to be polite and send a nice reply saying you are not interested but we all have different circumstances. If you have to send loads of such messages a day to people you will be getting nothing out of, you may at some point get bored of it and decide to take the easiest step, ie blocking.

My advice? Don't dwell on it. Go find someone else who will like your face.

I've read the whole thread thanks and at no point (unless I missed it in which case I apologise) did the op say that there was an agreement to exchange face pics. Just that he was asked to send one.

And my post was hardly kicking and screaming at you. Either way I (and I

Don't think I'm alone in this one) wouldn't send a picture to someone I had no intention of meeting. The same way I wouldn't expect someone to send me one of them.

Yes I do think a polite your not our type wouldn't hurt. But I can totally understand why people don't do it as well. Whichever way it's obvious they aren't interested so does it matter?? (And yes I have had it done to me more than once)

*banging head against forum wall*

As i explained earlier (& it's even within the bit you quoted) i asked the OP for a bit more info on the situ he was discussing.

I never said there was an agreement to swap face pics. I gave you 2 hypothetical scenarios to explain myself but clearly failed.

It's either my inability to communicate clearly in the english language or you seem to have missed what i said before

Possibly rude from your perspective, but i'm betting they didn't think once about your feelings, so from their perspective It may just have been too young, old, rugged, wrong colour of bloody eyes...who knows, but if you had a face pic on profile...they would already know what you looked like...so this sort of thing wouldn't happen!

I reply to most messages. In fact I reply to more messages than I should really because we get the vast majority of people contacting us who are straight guys who won't meet smokers, when our profile is very clear that this is not what we're looking for.

Sorry but this simply isn't true....politeness in most cases costs TIME, most folks have little time as it is, some just won't waste any more time being polite to a stranger that IS NOT of any further interest to them, It's kinda up to them, its their time, who are any of us to judge how they use it? Especially IF they've decided your not for them....being over sensitive is self crippling, indulge at yer own peril!

"Does anyone else think this is rude? Someone asks to see your face pic and instead of replying thanks but no thanks they just block you instead!

OP im with you on this one even if it means getting shot down

I personally think that if you agree to exchange face pics then you should do so. After that you can say yes or no. To receive and then just block is rude and ill mannered.

It also leads the person being blocked to question the genuineness of people on here and be even more cautious when sending pics. Let's face it not everyone is open about being on a swing site and giving your face pic to someone who blocks you makes you wonder the authenticity of the site on a whole. "

"the authenticity of the site as a whole??" Why and how do the crass actions of a few ill-mannered individuals lead to the condemnation of the whole site?

"It shows a lack of manners but hey, sod 'em

So if youre not attracted to someone how do YOU reply ?if they send a face pic and they aren't for me, I say thank you but it's a polite no thank you but if no pic and/or special word as my profile asks for then, I don't reply "

This is exactly what we do, a polite thanks but no thanks after someone has read, written a message and included a picture costs nothing. Blocking is just rude and seems the easy way out.

Id much rather a reply and then the block to save later confusion. Mrs x

"politeness costs nothing in both ways!!!! sadly fab is getting like the rest of British Society, full of obviously badly brought up people!! guess this post will piss plenty off but tough!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Sorry but this simply isn't true....politeness in most cases costs TIME, most folks have little time as it is, some just won't waste any more time being polite to a stranger that IS NOT of any further interest to them, It's kinda up to them, its their time, who are any of us to judge how they use it? Especially IF they've decided your not for them....being over sensitive is self crippling, indulge at yer own peril! "

It takes about ten seconds to write thanks but no thanks and press send, how much time do these people need to save? Unless they're searching for a cure to some as yet uncurable disease I'd imagine ten seconds isn't going to make much difference to their life

ahem!

hi can i meet you?

no thanks

why?

because you arent my type

why not? what are you looking for?

well not you in this instance im afraid

well fuck you, your ugly/fat/smelly/up your own arse/ghey/stupid et al

whereas just a click of the delete button, and next the block button if need be, saves all of this (and yes, there is evidence to support this conversation)

Have to agree with that - I've exchanged polite "thanks, but no" messages with a couple of ladies, been blocked outright by others, (and blocked them in return), and also met one or two lovely people

Manners do indeed cost nothing.

That's not your call to make on another persons time...if you're not gonna meet them, why does it bother you so much...get on with yer life like they did!

Mmmm...10 seconds, times that by an average 50 unwanted messages per day...??

Or

2 seconds to block..job done!!

NEXT.....!!!

If I wrote a two sentence let down reply to everyone that sends me a piccy even though they iften haven't read my profile I would never be off the site lol.

I still get lots of mail with face pics often too. Takes ages to let down reply to all

I say no thank you but think I may have to adopt this approach to save time x"
some use both my word and pic, which is what I'm after but its a good idea
