I was waiting for the sarky replies, I simply meant single guys get bad press but alot is unjustified, if someone hasn't blocked single men from messaging them then if I like a profile I will message if it gets deleted or blocked then so be it, alot of profiles say no single men however in their looking for part it says men, woman, couples etc"

And they will find the ones they want not be inundated with ones they don't want

And YOU choose to ignore what they put on THEIR profiles.....

No single men means don't reply if you are a single man....could it be more simple?

That's not sarcasm....that's common sense.

Its there choice though I do see profiles that contradicts itself as in won't meet single men then further down says likes mmf well that needs a man don't it ! So I do see both sides of the coin if a couple stick to what they say its their choice but when they contradict themselves I fully on the single men's side

That's what I was talking about, if a couple contradicts and they like mmf or vwe guys etc then it doesn't make much sense having no single males in their status

Maybe not to you, but, it does to them and it is their profile not yours.

Some people like a whole song and dance and like to talk down to single males. If they didnt want you to contact them they would have single males blocked on their mail settings. The deleting of mail and blocking of people gives them some kind of power trip. Probably had difficult upbringings. Take no notice of them, there are lots of other lovely people out there to meet

Thats just it....we can and do regulary. YES it may seem unfair or out off balance....but its simply a buyers market for fems weather single or in a cpl. Look at my verifys...I do meet single guys before U go on attack.

we have a seperate joint profile purely for single guys to contact us on as our couples one was inundated we dont wish to block them but when we post meets we only ever seem to get one or two couples message us but shed loads of single guys so our way of dealing with this is to keep a seperate profile for them.

I wasn't on the attack i assure you, i was only pointing out that people in general cant have their cake and eat it ie. not block single males on ones message settings and expect no messages from single males! Never gonna happen in a million years no matter how nicely they put it on their profile.

we don't meet single guys, but there are some single guys on here we chat to, who we have met at socials, clubs and have chatted to in chat rooms, who we like to keep in touch with. By blocking single men messages that would stop them from mailing us, which is a bit crap really. On this website we simply haven't ticked the looking for males box, but we still get men chancing their hand. Other websites don't have those check boxes so we put in the profile for single men not to message, we will find you if we need one, and we still get messages from single guys chancing their arm. We just ignore them, and if they try and try again we report.

On here there are too many blocks, it stops you from messaging if outside some people age range, it stops you from messaging if your a single guy/woman or can be set to stop messages from couples... the problem with that is, we have found that people we have met at a club - and then see on here - we cant message, because we don't fit their profile settings on here lol

But cant you initiate the messaging with the single guy even though single males are blocked? Likewise the couple you met at the club, cant they initiate a message conversation with you? That way you can reply even though you are out of their age limits. I thought this would be the case but im not entirely sure how the whole blocking system works

Just cause we recognise their profile, doesn't mean they'd recognise ours lol.

No, I think it's the sense of entitlement and lack of respect exhibited by SOME single men that make some couples block ALL of them which in turn frustrates their fellow single man!

Im not narrow minded in the least ! I tried to delicatly pose a question...to prompt some thought and discussion...in the hope that responces from females would enlighten the males in relation to this subject. I suggest u re-read all my posts on this thread and ponder that comment

Maybe its my kind of profile thats confusing. I am not meeting anyone new at the moment, but not hiding my profile so that friends can message me. I think I have made that clear at the top of my profile, but I haven't deleted all the text below as I can't be bothered retyping when I am able to meet. I am still getting the occasional 'wanna chat' message though.

Why the

You started a thread moaning about people who don't want to be contacted initially by single men. Your energies would be better used by contacting people who are happy for you to do so. Now I may be wrong but that seems like a bit of a no brainer. Whether someone has single men blocked or not isn't really your concern. It's their profile and manage it as they seem fit

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

There are times when I`ve been dissapointed to find a message block when in one case the lady of the couple was wearing a outfit that I wanted to know who supplied it. I did manage to get round that one! Another was merely to say how much I liked pictures in their gallery! However, I`m not going to lose any sleep over the situation.
