"I don't understand why, after having a perfectly clean and polite conversation with a nice lady, you then go back in to chat to her and find she has blocked you. A polite no thanks you're not my type is all that is required. " Yes i agree, best to just say sorry your not my type after all though some people dont like it. | |||

"I don't understand why, after having a perfectly clean and polite conversation with a nice lady, you then go back in to chat to her and find she has blocked you. A polite no thanks you're not my type is all that is required. " Perhaps after chatting she decided you were not for her and instead of saying no thanks by blocking you was her way of saying no thanks? Sometimes it's easier blocking as sending a message saying no thanks results in messages asking why and messages trying to change people's minds, don't take it to heart just see it as it is someone deciding they don't want to meet and by blocking it saves further rejection x | |||

"Thanks for all the replies. It's a bit clearer now. A no thanks would be much nicer but I guess if some people respond to this in a less than mature manner then the block button may work better. " maybe you said someone in the conversation that made them think "oooh... no" I know there have been some things people have said to me in convo's that have been an instant turn off to the point of me blocking people..... | |||

"The anonymity of the internet allows people to click a button to zap you out of their lives without a second thought or any comeback,for some people its better and easier than having to behave with a bit of maturity and say sorry but ive actually gone off the idea now" This. That said, it's never happened to me, possibly because I am utterly charming. | |||

"The only legit reasons surely are rudeness or aggressiveness. Frankly I count those who block for other reasons (and I can count them on the fines of one hand) as a lucky escape on my part as it's probably a pretty big sign they have a Putin like respect for others." okay... lets play devils advocate... i want in a conversation with someone and they said something I found really racially offensive.... should i have explained in great detail why I found in abhorable... | |||

Frankly I count those who block for other reasons (and I can count them on the fines of one hand) as a lucky escape on my part as it's probably a pretty big sign they have a Putin like respect for others." I just blocked for weirdness. Person messaged me - asked me for a face pic. I'd sent her one before when she had a different profile (after she'd asked for it) and she had never replied (which is a bit ignorant, but fair enough, could have just been having an off day). Sent a face pic (again - god knows why) she messaged back and said she was free tomorrow night, subject to a phone call. After a pic of my face and 6 sentences? I said I was absolutely not free tomorrow night. She thought me odd. I thought she was the odd one. Like I'd meet someone after forgetting who I was and 6 sentences...I aint desperate.... | |||

That way she has been polite and avoided having the why not question or receiving abuse. I understand why people do not reply to every email they receive. I myself only reply to the ones that interest me. However if you have been chatting with somebody I think the game changes. I am going to sound like a whinging single male here but on this occasion manners come into play. | |||

A polite no thanks you're not my type is all that is required. " You may have thought the conversation was going swimmingly, she obviously didn't, hence the block. I've no qualms in saying no thanks but I've blocked people mid conversation because they've said something that put me off. | |||

"On the very odd occasion (lol) that I get a knock back I block the lady/cple. Not to be nasty, just so I don't bother them again. " Exactly saves everyone time. In fact we had a guy who had contacted us for third time apologize and ask us to block him as he was afraid he would do it again.. It saves people wasting time. Yes some get blocked for being rude nasty others distance etc or any reason we would not meet them as well. It shouldn't matter to anyone else why or who we block it's our profile to use as we see fit to find people we want to play with. No one else needs too be able to see our profile etc so it shouldn't matter. Just move 9 to the next. | |||

Not really. I use the block button as another type of filter. If I'm not interested I block saves wasting my time and their's. If they say something on the forum that shows their true colours I block. (That info is gold dust - why not use it) If they message me 'fancy a fuck'/don't read my profile messages I block. Friend requests without chatting (it's on the profile) I block. Yes I have more people on my block list than friend list but I am using the site how I want.I am sure I am on alot of people's block lists but that's fine. | |||

" I think that counts as rudeness/offensivenes . I guess I might say politely that what they'd said was really not appropriate, but then as a white Irish guy we probably have different takes on racism. If on reflection, they realised what they'd said was wrong and apologised I'd move on....if they came back with worse, well then they're definitely in the rude/aggressive camp and reported and blocked. | |||

"To be on ths site means being able to accept rejection in many forms if you are going to remain relatively relaxed about it all. We get blocked for loads of reasons, people stop messaging sometimes when they've seen our faces the time to worry about it is when it happens in your day to day life." Having met you guys we really can't see why | |||

"you come onto this site to meet people for sex if they cant handle this then please leave the site dont be such arseholes and block others for being chatty " But if you've said no, not interested in meeting you, wouldn't constant 'chatty' message warrant a block? | |||

"you come onto this site to meet people for sex if they cant handle this then please leave the site dont be such arseholes and block others for being chatty " One person's 'being chatty' is another person's 'annoying unwanted messages' The block feature is here for us all to use however we want; it is isn't rude to do so. | |||

"you come onto this site to meet people for sex if they cant handle this then please leave the site dont be such arseholes and block others for being chatty " Not at all we use the block button as a filter tool maybe we've read something in the forums that eludes to that persons character and we realise they are not the type of person we would meet so we use the block button | |||

I've arranged a meet on Friday with a guy, exchanged a few messages, got on fine, sorted a venue and exchanged numbers. I don't need to chat to him every day until the meet, I don't see the point and constant messaging annoys me to be honest. | |||

"We had a very strange one had been chatting to a couple for a while getting on very well, we arranged to meet so sent them our phone number to make the final arrangements. Next day they had blocked us.....no message to say why very odd behaviour, but then thinking about it I think we had a lucky break. " That has happened to me with a guy who messaged me, pretty much the same thing, chat, seemingly get on, arrange a meet swap numbers then block. I guess he changed his mind lol. | |||

Seriously tho who are you telling people to leave the site if they don't play how you think swingers should and leave the site?! | |||

"I don't understand why, after having a perfectly clean and polite conversation with a nice lady, you then go back in to chat to her and find she has blocked you. A polite no thanks you're not my type is all that is required. " Would imagine it's so they don't get any hassle or why questions.....not everyone takes rejection on the chin. We will usually just be honest and say if we have changed our mind for what ever reason rather than just block. People are free to use the site and tools however they see fit. Take a block as a thanks but no thanks. | |||
