Being Blocked for No Reason

Port Orchard, WA, Us

Mmmm. Passive-aggressive announcememts against people who don't want single guys pinging them. Women must LOVE that. Huge turn on. I mean, I know my wife would just eat that right up...

I just blocked an asshole in the forum section.

They're a couple, and single guys cant look at their page to block.

Just learned how to insert their profile ID in block feature.

Bye bye troll!

p.s... are you new to social networking? Blocking is a key component of taking control of your privacy and sanity. This is not even remotely a new concept.

It has happened to me, a few couples have blocked me for no apparent reason. I never contacted them, they never contacted me. One day, I received an email from an user asking me to “stop opening their profile to masturbate to his wife’s pictures, and called me a pervert”. Now they don’t have pictures of faces but close ups to cleavage.. and her ankle. I just blocked them.

I guess other couples believe you just open for the pictures???

Rustic - Thanks I had no idea that was down there. I guess I need to scroll down on every page.

Onehorneywife open the "Favorites" tab and scroll down.

just4kix2 unless when that happened they did not have the confirmation step a block is never accidental. Now when we first joined (and before that) if someone blocked you the system placed a reciprocal block and the person who blocked you showed up on your blocked list. In order to remove the block both parties had to do so. That has changed a few months ago to where a block only shows for the one who did the blocking. The other party really has no clue they were blocked other than no longer being able to contact the person who made the block.

Where do you find your blocked list?

A few times, the blocking could be accidental. That happened to me whilst I was getting familiar with this site. I was just scrolling through and realised I had some people on my blocked list I never intended to. Sadly, there is no way to ask from person who blocked you why.

There's always a reason- the blockee may just never know what it is. We've blocked people who don't listen if we say no-thanks. And we've been blocked. No biggie.

I block all the time. I didn't use to but it got to the point I was clicking on profiles months later that I had already ruled out or been ruled out.

"If you are under 6', she's not interested. Her preference guys."

"BBC only"

"Only interested if you live within 10 miles."

"No skinny guys who weigh less than her."

"SMs, don't message us, we will message you if you visited and we like you"

By blocking, I'm avoiding clicking again by accident and they aren't clicking on me and wasting their time. It's a win/win.

If they blocked you for no reason, they are not worth your time.

Why are you taking it personally that some strangers on the internet have no desire to see your profile? Grow a thicker skin.

I was blocked by couple once for just looking at their profile....lol!! But I don't care if someone blocks me or not. I just look at it as their lost. Those who take the time to get to know me usually enjoy my company.

Hey Ron, just look at it as the trash taking itself out. From what I can see, from your profile you can Perhaps try to get some better pictures, look well groomed and smile at least a little bit. And put your weight down, Some people out there are looking for a guy like you, some are not. Perhaps when this Corona virus scare is gone attend some events where people can actually meet you.

Ridgeville, SC, Us

First off the "reciprocal block" has been discontinued so only the profile that did the blocking will see the list after the date it was turned off. So that means you have no way of knowing for sure unless you try to access a profile and get a message who blocked you.
Secondly if you choose no interest in a certain group like say single males because perhaps you found one or two (or a dozen) to meet up with and weed through it works as a block and even ones you are friends with cannot see your profile.
Thirdly many people use blocking as a form of removing the view of profiles they have no interest in. It is like having an already viewed option. In fact that would be a good new feature.
And finally they may have an issue with something in your profile. I have not looked at it but for us a stated preference to bareback would result in us giving a hard pass. Now we don't block anyone just because we pass on them but many do.

Now I'm going to address the butthurt you have expressed. The moment we actually become interested enough in someone to perhaps take things into a real world meeting later on I will look at their posting history. Most of the time you find nothing as it is a minority of the users that actually post on the forums. I have found where a guy was complaining his wife did not understand or approve yet he said nothing about being married and presented as single in his message. That resulted in a block with no communication before hand. Something like what you have posted here would go against you and likely earn a block to avoid the possible nasty messages when we told you we have decided to pass on a future meeting. None of this means there is not someone out there for you and that there are not people who do not look into things like we do but you wanted a possible reason someone would block you and for us this post would be one.

Thanks folks! It seems we've never been blocked. Should put that on our "Resume"

Appearance is everything and people have their preference so don't take being blocked personally. I am African American and I get blocked, denied, and shunned often.
At the swingers club, this Mexican guy is eyeballing my friend stripping her naked but because I was African American he refused to have sex with my friend because he did not want me to have sex with his woman even those she was willing.

"I hit the block button and get a screen asking if I'm sure I want to block a profile."

yeah we were blocked by someone that used to post in the forums, and claimed it was by accident, but I know it was no accident

"Thankfully GGMM has not blocked me yet..."

And never will. ;-)

"...at the bottom of your friends list is people that you blocked/they blocked you."

Not anymore. It still shows all blocks up to a certain date, regardless of who blocked, but after that SLS changed something, so anything after that only shows on the Friends page of whoever placed the block.

"...all it takes is a fumble or fat finger to block them"

Not for me. I hit the block button and get a screen asking if I'm sure I want to block a profile.

Washington, District Of Columbia

We've accidentally blocked a couple of folks when looking at their profile on the phone. The "Block" button is nestled very close to the "Notes" button, and all it takes is a fumble or fat finger to block them when we are trying to write some notes down about them. Could be a case of that...

"Question: How do I find out who has blocked me?"

at the bottom of your friends list is people that you blocked/they blocked you.

Palmerton, PA, Us

Question: How do I find out who has blocked me?

I use notes, when I write to someone and they don't reply, I note "not interested", and I usually don't look again

I generally only block people who write multiple times and can't take no for an answer. Oh, and single males who send us a request to open our pictures without so much as a hello.

Thankfully GGMM has not blocked me yet, even though I "accidentally" look at her profile routinely (whistling).
