Block Me, Babe…I’ll Survive!

@lolalola
Yes, that snack did hit the spot 🤣.

So what’s the thread for tomorrow? I think you’re averaging about one a day!

I was blocked because I got the covid vaccine 😆

“Housekeeping” might be my new favorite description for it. There doesn’t always have to be an offense, a villain, or some dramatic falling out. Sometimes you just know this isn’t going anywhere, tidy things up, and carry on. I think we give the block button far more emotional significance than it deserves.😎

@sind 🤓

The ad campaign sending out flyers! That is painfully accurate.🙄

And I think that’s where I’ve landed too. I don’t need someone to have committed some terrible offense before I’m “allowed” to block them. If it’s obvious we’re looking for completely different things, or you haven’t bothered to learn a single thing about me before landing in my inbox, I’m perfectly comfortable saving us both the time.

Some flyers are going straight in the recycling bin. 😉

@mmmmtex 😎

Okay, you may actually be the CEO of the block button.😉

But I get it. You know exactly what you’re there for, so why keep people in the rotation when you already know it’s a no? That’s not mean, that’s efficient.

Although “premature marriage proposals” makes me feel like there are stories here.🤔

@anroc 🤓

Being blocked for being the wrong John is hilarious. Although it sounds like the mix-up ultimately told you something worth knowing.

As for me, no juicy blocking scandal inspired this. I’ve just reached a point where someone deciding I’m not for them doesn’t bother me. I’m not interested in being universally palatable. That sounds exhausting.

Block away. I’ll be fine. 😉

@ldnmilkmaid 🌷🌷🌷

I’m with you. Sometimes you know pretty quickly there’s nowhere for the conversation to go, so why drag it out?

And getting sexual way too fast will do it for me too. If we’ve barely said hello and I already know your entire fantasy life, I think we have enough information to make a decision. 😉

@dairydaisy 🩷

There really is a fine line between being someone’s biggest critic and their most dedicated audience.😉

And thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy my posts. I have entirely too much fun writing them. 😘

@njtitman 😘

Exactly. I think the ambiguity piece is underrated. No wondering where you stand, no reading tea leaves, no unnecessarily complicated social math.

Message received. Carry on.😎

@midwestnoob 😘

That part always fascinates me. You tell someone you don’t want to engage anymore, and somehow that becomes an invitation for even more engagement. 🙄

But your two reactions to being blocked are pretty much perfect. Either “fair enough” or “huh, that’s weird.” Neither requires a committee meeting.😉

@showerthoughts 🤓

Apparently I have a lot to say.😎

But you know what, let’s open the floor. What do you all actually want to talk about? Give me the topics you’d love to see turned loose in here. Smart, weird, sexy, controversial, completely ridiculous…I’m game.

Consider this my suggestion box. 😘

@tjrforanr 😎

Well, THAT is exactly the kind of wildly specific reason I was hoping someone would bring to the table.

@lolamayi12345 I call it chat alegebra

[Lola 💋]

Chat algebra! Now I’m curious, David. What’s the equation?😘🤓😉

[David]

Actually it’s more of a “if this, then that”
