Ive had the same problem a few times myself

The one that gets me is when the min age of contact is 30 and am 29. Oh well at least i only have to wait 8 months before i can send the first message lol

I have all men blocked atm I was getting so many messages, I couldn't reply to them all or give any quality to the messages i did receive, so people thought I was ignoring them when really I wasn't, having men blocked works for me That way I can chat to who I choose but I also have that stated on my profile so anyone browsing can see.

I get block for being too old, sadly get further away from the age range.

Plus being a TV, even thought I am happy to play as a Bi-Male a lot of members want on here.

Could create multiple profiles like many do on here, however life is difficult without extra work

But it always tends to be the 'not looking for single guys' profiles that you really, really like! Must be something about unobtainable women ...

It's a pain OP but as stated above, there's loads out there that DO want to meet! Good luck fella!

I guess shit happens. Sometimes all I want to do is give a compliment about a status that's really made me laugh or some other trivia. But hey if people are getting mailboxes maxxed out - who can blame them?

Hard isn't it. Single women block messages from men as they get overwhelmed by men messaging and single guys Can't message women or get their messages deleted. It's the tango

Quite often these meets up put up for those men they have met before to see if any of them are free. Those men would be able to message them if they have communicated on here already

In order to reduce countless one line crude male approaches, message filters are set accordingly (though many still get through) Unfortunately, this also filters out bi-fem approaches unless they fall within my guys age criteria. I'd love to receive more interest from women. The only way of doing so is remove the filters but suffer the consequences

That message after going to the effort of reading the profile is essentially the equivalent of going to the effort of buying a lady a drink in a bar chatting to her and her saying sorry not for my but thanks for the drink

You Dont Need to Know, right now

OP, when you're reading the profiles, check whether it says "not looking for single men". If it says that, then they have their filters set, and you will get the "this person has blocked everyone of your sex" message. Move on to the next one.

When doing searches you can select to hide everyone who has their filters set to exclude single guys (assume everyone knows that, but just in case...)

I know the feeling on unobtainable women, the number of lovely ladies who appear on my screen and they are straight

But for me...there may be a few exceptions on the men front occasionally

Just had that feeling looking at your profile. Your stunning but not looking for men and your too far away from me.

Can be frustrating, as said by others there's lots of others though..

It's one of the reasons to have a good profile, the ladies who block men might do the hunting themselves.. if your profile interests who knows..

We ignore probably 90% of messages from single males, usually because they havent read our (long and getting longer by the day) profile.

If they can't be bothered to look and see what we want, we can't be bothered to reply

Ian, it's probably no consolation to you, but I feel sure there are others like me who just cannot ignore a message which shows a degree of effort.

Its beyond me to ignore

That said, one liners and pure offensive don't just get deleted, I block them without feeling. Good luck, I feel sure your efforts will be justly rewarded x

Hence the filters. My way of saying thanks, I have a drink

If the chat and the craic is good I'm happy to do this. What's a couple of drinks and even dinner. If she's really classy even salad on her kebab!!

I reply politely if I'm not interested in the sex side. There are women on here who I don't fancy and won't fancy me. That's life. However I've gained some friends so far on here although we don't want to shag each other. For me it's not ALL about the sex. Although if it happens great.
