Ever click on a profile you’ve never seen before and find out you’ve been blocked. And wonder, “how can I be blocked we haven’t even talked yet?” Yes, that happened to me twice on other sites, I even searched through my past messages to see if I them messaged her before and simply forgot. But no didn’t see anything. And I haven’t even had any hostile interaction worthy of blocking.
Hi
I block plenty or women. Loads.
For those who I do block, it is not personal. It’s just that after considering their profile I find that they fall into one of the following categories. Really young, geographically impossible, not on the same page as me (ANR is a pretty broad church), wanting something different to me, offering something that I do not want, or have a profile that is naff (something like “Tell you later xx” ain’t gonna wash with me). Obviously this is not a strict rule but that’s the general way I see it.
I want a lady who is prepared to put some effort in, as I am. And that starts with a profile.
So by me blocking them they no longer appear in my SEARCH, leaving me more time to focus on those that I would like to explore.
I use BLOCK because unfortunately this website does not offer a HIDE option. But like I say, it’s not personal.
Cheers
Ross
ditto
Same here I block anyone where after reading their profile I know we will have nothing in common etc. Again its nothing personal
That’s weird, I reserve blocking for sobody mean, hostile, or rude or suspect to be a scammer. Who knows what can happen if you block someone because they live far away, they might change. Like be in a relationship currently, but they might get out in the future.
Yeah I hear what you’re saying.
They might change… They might move closer… You might move closer… They might seek someone outside their age range… They might suddenly prefer men to woman… They might be ‘in town’ that weekend… You might have a job that passes by them so you wanna ‘drop in’… Etc etc
For me there are too many ‘mights’ in the equation and I’d prefer to stay focused. I respect my own time too. That said, I am thankful this website is here but ultimately it’s really up to you re how you use it.
All I would say is not to take the BLOCK personally.
Cheers and all the best on your ANR/ABF journey.

Well put Ross.
Ross, I agree 💯. Well said!
People are welcome to use the features of the website as it suits their needs.
I actually encountered a similar situation just the other day. I clicked a profile (one I am certain I never saw before) and it said the user has blocked me. Since I know I’ve never had contact of any kind with this person, and since I know I would never do or say anything to be offensive to women on this site, I don’t lose sleep over it, even though I have no idea why she blocked me. As others have said… everyone on this site has the right to limit contact with people in whatever way they see fit. I don’t know why so many people get uptight when someone says they aren’t interested in talking. Just move on and don’t read into it. Life is too short to get angry over someone on a dating site not wanting to talk to you. Being confrontational about it only reveals YOUR character, and proves that the person was justified in blocking you.
if you aint a 10/10 most on here wont meet anyway
There are also the people you block just because they have an attitude in their forum posts that rub you the wrong way.
Jason not true. I’m no where near a ten and this mugly guy has met women from on here.
Don’t cry over spilt milk.
“everyone on this site has the right to limit contact with people”
100% true and 100% agree, but what contact? at least for me, and I bet for lots of people on this site and others, most ANR sites seem dead with almost no activity, blocking would just take it from 0 activity to -9.
I agree with Ross, it’s not personal.
I have young children, i know what I’m looking for a my time it’s limited. I put my preferences on my profile and i just don’t have time to keep repeating myself with what I’m looking for with people who message that are the wrong age/ location.
It does seem a little rude to block people but it’s the best way to allow me to focus on finding what I’m looking forhuh i never said i was rejected on here grogman.
people like to pretend that looks dont matter but most women online (will try to) go for the 1%.
no different here then the very same moan that they’ve not met anyone.
