Has anyone ever come across a situation where there was not an option to block another member?
I haven’t, but I haven’t blocked anyone. They may just not be 100% through the approval process for joining the site. I know that you can’t friend people until they get through the process
JandRH..,
– If a user is not yet approved, block button will not show.
– If you are friends, block button will not show. You’d have to cancel friendship first.
I have a question? Why do you block people that haven’t interacted with you?
If you are trying to keep people from looking at your media their are settings, if you don’t want to be messaged but from friends there is a setting for that
Could be any number of reasons, from someone’s username or profile picture, to the fact they’re into something you’re not into. Maybe you recognise them from a profile they’ve had previously and then deleted. They might be married or live in your local area and you don’t want to hassle of them contacting you because you know they’re not what you’re looking for. You may have had a disagreement in chats or forum or read something they wrote that was a red flag…literally anything and there’s no point overthinking it because you may never know the answer.
I have blocked people without engaging with them because, other women have warned me about them, knowing they are married, if I see that they are crude in chat, or they gush over every boob pic they see on the site, if they knowingly flirt with partnered/married women in chat I block them. I know I’m not interested in those guys.
I have been blocked by women with whom I have had no direct interaction save the main chat.
I have always tried to be respectful and courteous in my interactions.
I have posted on my profile that I am married, so perhaps that has been the catalyst, IDK.
I have not intentionally requested friendship or DM’d members whose profile would suggest that they would not choose to converse with someone like me.
It makes me a bit sad, in that, I want to learn and interact with like minded people in a community of those with similar interests, but I respect the decisions of those who either do not respond, or block me.
For what it’s worth, if there are any present who might see this and by whom I have been blocked, I sincerely apologize for any offense I might have given.I will block others based on the following:
– their interactions with others in chat or here in the forum, that makes me not want to interact with them. Why waste time if they are already exhibiting behaviors I won’t accept?
– Things said in their profile. Their politics, what they are looking for that does not remotely match what would be a happy relationship for me, someone who is looking for an experience only and not a relationship, etc. If the profile shares things I absolutely do not want in a relationship, I block. It saves time and energy.
– if I have encountered them elsewhere and already know they are not for me.
These are the main reasons I block before ever speaking with someone. It isn’t always about being offended or hateful. It has more to do with making sure no one’s time is wasted.
