Maybe she doesn't fancy you, want to meet, couldn't be arsed to type a reply as she was busy doing her hair and thought blocking was a clear message that guarantees she won't have to do the same again and will free up your time to pursue others that may respond in a positive manner.

She's actually done you a favour.

Is it not her choice to reply not reply or even block if she is in the mood to.

Good afternoon doesn't intrigue. It doesn't tell me what you're into or why we might be compatible. I don't block but I do delete.

Her reasons are more than likely entirely down to a lack of attraction towards you. But you’ll never know, and they don’t affect any other interactions you may have, so respect her choice and don’t worry about it.

Sometimes a block is just a no thanks. Clear out those you don't fancy.

It's not always rude to block someone you have no interest in at all.

It doesn’t mean she was offended, just that she isn’t interested

What’s silly is getting upset because you’ve been blocked. It doesn’t mean anything other than one less profile to search on. Likewise messages deleted with no reply. Likewise messages left unread. This is the internet. It isn’t real!

Maybe because a lot of men on here aren’t nice, and when you reply not interested sorry, or no thanks you get a load of abuse back, often same if you dont reply, I get loads of messages a day, so the slim fit ladies must get way more, so in effect way more abuse too, my profile is polite but clear, if people cant read the first three lines I wont reply, but still people send loads more messages getting ruder and more abusive as they go along, so you log back in to a tyrade if crap... if she’s had loads of this crap too maybe she just feels its less hassle to just block x

Its a shame for the genuinely nice guys cos the abuse puts you off meeting, if a guy that started off nice can turn out that nasty by message, how would he turn out on a meet if you didn’t wanna do something? Scares you a bit! Sorry its a long reply, just trying to show you how it is sometimes xx happy fabbing and hope you find what you’re looking for very soon xx

Of course it doesn't offend me it just doesn't interest me, it's not engaging and I get tens of messages saying exactly that everyday it gets boring. so I immediately delete and sometimes block.

It sounds to me like you've given up putting any effort in so you're probably gonna get the same amount of effort in return.

If that's your approach then that's absolutely fine, it's up to you how you run your profile. However if your approach isn't getting you what you want it's probably best to change it rather than moan about it. If you're not prepared to change it then I suggest you get used to having your messages deleted or ignored on the whole.

As above, we all get to run our profiles how we want. But we also have to accept that others will do the same. We all have our little ways of using the functions provided by the site and can't moan if the way we choose to act doesn't get responses we want from others.

She probably guessed the next few messages comming and decided she's not intetested. When we receive a message from a man saying just "hi" or along those lines what follows next is usually "how's you? ", "what you up to? ", "wanna f**k? ". We don't block for that but don't waste our time replying to such messages either.

If we got a message that just said good afternoon and nothing else then we would just reply good afternoon back but wouldn’t block. I think some people would just block you for lack of interest in your message, it’s like saying I’m here come and get me yet its you approaching them. I would suggest you try and put something else after it if you really want a decent response

A one liner, no matter how polite, gives me no indication why anyone might be interested in me. Does nothing to stand out from umpteen similar others I get. I'm not one to block the first time, but you bet I do if it's your third or more attempt.

I just don't understand where your attitude has come from I really just think that you've given up and now you just think that being rude is going to get you some attention and it really isn't or only negative attention. Like I said previously it's up to you but if you don't want to put any effort in and then you're just rude to people you kinda reap what you sow.

Like I said previously it's up to you but if you don't want to put any effort in and then you're just rude to people you kinda reap what you sow. "

Does it offend you if it’s said to you ?

Of course it doesn't offend me it just doesn't interest me, it's not engaging and I get tens of messages saying exactly that everyday it gets boring. so I immediately delete and sometimes block.

It sounds to me like you've given up putting any effort in so you're probably gonna get the same amount of effort in return.

i have 100s of hellos and hi how are you messages everyweek i just delete and if i think the guys not for me or keeps repeating the hi hows you then blocked i look at message's from guys who make an effot and can engage in what they are looking for after all they message me not me them

You profile is full of information that can be drawn on for conversation starters

So because they have had the nerve to disagree with you and to say that maybe it wasn't the person you were messaging that had the problem we are now suddenly bullies. After that site that you were just completely lost your argument because that's what people say when they got nothing left they just then blame everybody else.

You asked a question. Someone observed that asking a question about behaviour was fairly futile, which is true.

At which point you were the only one who was rude. Claiming you're being bullied is asinine.

A real life situation where you have moments.

Versus online when you have plenty of time to say something thoughtful.

And if the numbers who message me here asking how I am or saying hi or whatever did so on the street, I'd not answer any of them and hire a bloody bodyguard!

But you're the one who appears to have the 'issue', she certainly doesn't!

You messaged her, she didn't want contact with you so blocked you, involvement over from her perspective.

You then start a thread lamenting your treatment. You may have had a point if she'd posted complaining about men sending inane messages in response to your thread!

Oh for God's sake! My last response was totally tongue in cheek but for the love of God how hard is it to understand that some folk block those who don't appeal as an elimination process. It doesn't matter what message you sent, how articulate it was, whatever, you're not her type so she's blocked you, you cannot bump into each other in here again and thus her pool of choice is more suited to her.

A lot of men keep on messaging the same person over and over. A lot of men send abusive messages when being turned down.

The woman you emailed doesn't know if you will carry on sending messages or start sending abusive messages.

She didn't want to meet you and to save receiving more messages she blocked you.

Exactly this. Yesterday after not replying to a message the follow-up message from the guy was "I guess you're just an attention seeking bitch then".

So it gets to a point where it's just easier to block if you're not interested I appreciate this can be frustrating for people on the receiving end of it but it's just how it is unfortunately.

They seem to view it as a non-verbal 'live' conversation rather than the electronic 'letter' that it should be.

Your message might not be seen for days. You could end up trying to have a simple conversation that ordinarily might take a few minutes but ends up lasting a few weeks.

Think of it more like a letter.

Think about what you want to say to that person.

You wouldn't sit down with a pen and paper and simply write 'good afternoon', pop it in an envelope and send it on it's way would you?

That's what many are getting at.

The recipient may be expecting more from a message than a simple greeting - after all, the act of messaging itself is a way of saying hello.

Think more about telling that person a little bit about yourself, ask questions about them.

Give them a reason to reply.

OP, this thread has done you no favours, you're coming across as spoilt and abit aggressive and entitled. People don't owe you a reply or any kind of interaction, you need to move on.

"Oh for God's sake! My last response was totally tongue in cheek but for the love of God how hard is it to understand that some folk block those who don't appeal as an elimination process. It doesn't matter what message you sent, how articulate it was, whatever, you're not her type so she's blocked you, you cannot bump into each other in here again and thus her pool of choice is more suited to her. Simples!

Hitler did it better "

Yeah but he slept on the job (6.6.44) At least some folk here are in the wide awake club and know what measures to take to keep the undesirables at bay.

"If that's all you said in the message that could have been enough especially if you've had no contact before.

Long gone are the days of writing chapter and verse only to be ignored

Not much on her profile to go on

I reckon good afternoon is as a good a starting point as any

Does it offend you if it’s said to you ?

Of course it doesn't offend me it just doesn't interest me, it's not engaging and I get tens of messages saying exactly that everyday it gets boring. so I immediately delete and sometimes block.

It sounds to me like you've given up putting any effort in so you're probably gonna get the same amount of effort in return.

My mindset is

Say hi and send a pic

If she likes pic maybe read profile

"

There is your first error - most women will look at the profile before opening a message. If the profile is uninspiring, say has one obscure pic and nothing to inspire me in the text, I would simply hit delete. Some people choose to block to save further interaction.
