I feel the block process needs to be updated on this site.
Currently most dont need to have proof of harassment or wrong doing. Just block someone because their eyes are blue. How do we know block system is not being abused? Then again If the end result is for somemeone not to communicate with you does it even matter?
Clearly there are more men on this site than women, but are men really saying things that require blocking or do women have to care less because they know they have 10-15 guys in their inbox a day?
Food for thought.
Why not have an annymous block log. Where members who were blocked can state why they were blocked?
Do moderators question why someone gets Blocked?
I can’t help but feel blocking is rarely warranted on this site. If moderators were required to confirm reason why people were blocked you would see many may not be warranted.
Example.
Him-hi how are you?
Her- good and you,
Him- grest, your page says your pregnant congratulations. Do you know if it’s a boy or girl?
Her- BLOCKEDOr Is it just me?
Why can’t people block someone just because they don’t fit what they’re looking for? Or they don’t like what they say?
Are you saying that people should wait to be specifically harassed by someone before they’re allowed to block them? If so then that’s f’ing ridiculous!
I shouldn’t have to explain myself to anyone about why I’ve blocked someone.. and I would tell someone to EABOD if they expected me to.Basically you can still chat in the live chat and in the forums with people who you block or who block you. It’s only their profile and pms you are not able to access and if I’m honest.. I think they should be blocked from seeing you or anything you post completely.
Maybe if more people actually made the effort rather than just being creepy and private messaging the masses then they wouldn’t get blocked so much? 🤷🏻♀️
In your little scenario.. why on earth would someone want to disclose personal things like the sex of their child to someone thats just said hello? That’s creepy af!
Hello, Marcus:
Sorry that you feel the way that you do. Many people just do not read profiles and solicit requests that are highly crude and unwanted. A person may block you because you are not his/her type.
If people have to start giving explanations as to why they blocked someone you will find a lot less women here. My choice, my right to block someone that I feel is inappropriate. If someone has to tell you that your comments are unsettling then maybe take a look at the man in the mirror and change your approach.
I can understand why a person may block you for asking the sex of the child/children she is carrying. That is just a little too personal for a stranger to ask. Some of us have thick skin, while others are extremely sensitive. The key is to read the profile thoroughly and see if you are a TRUE fit. Not just a male/female that fits your needs. Do you meet the needs of the other party. This will save a lot of embarrassment and unnecessary blocking.
I hope this helps. Have a great weekend! 🥛🍪
I have been blocked on this site from people I have had zero contact with . Unfortunately weather we like it or not that is the individual choice of that person. Weather we like it or not.
Hi Marcus …I don’t feel the block system can be “abused” as such … anyone can block you for any reason they like. Or for no reason. It’s up to them. They’re not preventing you from using any functions of the site by blocking you. Just from contacting them. That’s not abuse.
Pretty simple to me. If blocked, move on. It wasn’t meant to be.
An innocuous question to you may not be to someone else. I’ve put my foot in my mouth a couple of times. Good thing it’s only an 8EE. 😜Marcus,
Just remember “Qtip”…Quit taking it personally. You’ll eventually get use to it and frankly when they block you, they’re doing you a favor. Now you can move on to find that lady who you’ve been waiting for and who’s been waiting for you. She’s out there. Don’t give up and don’t get bitter.
If you stumble on a profile that looks great until you get to the 10th paragraph and she says she’s “Liberal” and you’re conservative, (or vice versa) you can block them so you don’t have read through all that again in the future.
Best of luck in your search.
P.S. Though it was not my intent, I think I’m well on my way to being the most blocked guy on this site. (Michael do you keep stats on that?) Everyone has a talent I guess. Hehehe
When I tell people this site & community is all talk and no action, this thread, right here, is exactly what I’m talking about.
Best of luck in your search.
That’s not quite the meme. That’s close. The meme is:
Good Luck In Your Search™
Notice this is a Trade Marked meme of the ANR/ABF community.
Marcus,
The whole point of the block process is that it’s personal choice when to use it and no explanation needs to be given.
Sometimes you just have to suck it up and move on. It doesn’t just happen to men either – I’ve been blocked for not replying quickly enough amongst other things.
You don’t have to agree, you just have to deal with it and move on!
why does someone have to give you reasons you are blocked? it makes 0 difference they are not interested in you. if you get annoyed that someone has blocked you and think this is abusing the system then i suggest you quit online dating all together.
I expect a 10,000 word report explaining why I’ve been blocked by each person who has blocked me 🤨
Blocked because he asked the sex of the child? That’s like a textbook small talk response to somebody telling you they’re pregnant. And how is that creepy? Soon men will be getting blocked for asking how your day is going. SMFH
You’re kidding, right?
I wish the people I’ve blocked did not see anything I do on here. I hate when a blocked person still comments on my forum posts. I don’t want to encourage MORE communication so I say nothing but I want to ask how dumb are you? You know you’ve been blocked but yet you comment on my posts anyway? But don’t want to hear from them more so I ignore them. Again. Just proving my reasoning for blocking them.
