FabSwingers.com forum: Being blocked.

Does it bother you when you have been blocked instantly/within a few minutes of sending an introductory message?

I actually prefer it, I mean at least you can move on quickly and find someone else. I have messages aging like a fine wine in my outbox.

Cons however, I don't get to perv anymore

Rarely find out we've been blocked which shows how little we care about it happening. We know we won't be to everyone's taste, so no dramas.

I thought it would be a hotter topic than it currently is ha. I know a lot of people wouldn't necessarily share the same outlook on it. Totally agree though.

Ive only ever noticed one person block me. I made a joke he though was serious, sent me an abusive message then blocked me. I was a bit annoyed I couldn't reply but quickly got over it!

I tend to only block if they send really inappropriate messages or pester me.

You mean not every message is blocked. Some actually get a reply. Amazing

I am not guilty of this. Hedge my bets on the fact it's more of a female thing to do to males, understandable.

Personally I don't block. I just have more time to say no thank you

I wouldn't know. I contact someone once, if they don't reply, I don't lose any sleep over it. No point flogging a dead horse. LOL!

If I remember rightly it said 'profile unavailable'. I agree though, it doesn't bother me. I was just curious on people's thoughts

I use the block as a filter, saves wasting time in the future. I very rarely use it because the person has done anything I've been unhappy about, more often than not it's simply because they don't meet my preferences.

The only times I've noticed I've been blocked is by timewasters. Two occasions where meets have been arranged, then at the crunch moment they don't show and blocked me. I think that's what they call the trash taking itself out.

Now that would wind me up. Thankfully, that hasn't happened to me.

Surely if they can't read they would hardly be on fab seeing as you have to be able to read to sign up no?

Na I can't blame the single male for my blocks it's most likely because I'm a cunt with an opinion and I cant stand obnoxious gits and the ilk they have fawning over them

although I will deny ever saying this and pretend it's because I'm a single male on other threads hahaha

We were blocked by a girl because she found out we knew that a girlfriend of a good friend (non swinger) of ours who had recently had prostate cancer had joined fab very shortly after his diagnosis! There can't be many here that beat that.

I can vouch for this. Momentarily frustrating, but then I get over it after a few minutes. Plenty more available, patience is key.

We block people on a daily basis and the reasons are in order of frequency

1 one line messages sent using a thumb on a mobile phone with no punctuation eg 'any pics '

2 we send someone a proper message and don't get a reply after 3 days when we can see they have looked at the message the same day ( we don't want to be pests if they are not interested )

3 People who obviously haven't read you profile and ask you things that you say you are not looking for ( they are just sending the same cut and paste message to everyone like trawling with a fishing net )

4 After a couple of messages on Fab we then ask for a quick female to female phone chat to check the female is on board then sit back and get great entertainment at the excuses we hear why the female can't say hello ( usually because she hasnt got a clue what's happening online or doesn't even exist) and when we get the 'she's at work/shopping / in the bath ' etc we block if she can't be available to say 'hi 'even just for 5 mins within say 24hrs

Our list of reasons for blocking is massive so we will leave it at that x

Except for on this profile. I use the block button alot. So many couples that are disrespectful. It's shocking! We don't experience that on our couples profile, not from other couples anyway.

I dont really care about being blocked that much...slightly irritating but nothing really unexpected. I find I have been blocked by some people in the forum and by quite a few men who dont like me looking at their profiles. Thought this was a little strange though as I rarely, rarely message...and I definitely dont message men.

I hardly ever block people. In a lot of cases I get blocked after I've rejected people, both men and couples. They send me an abusuve message then an instant block. That is childish behaviour and just reiterates the fact I made the right decision in rejecting them in the first instance.

Easier for a guy to send a simple "Not what I'm looking for thankyou" than blocking.

Although I think people tend to block more people on the forums especially if they disagree on something. Childish but true.
