Thanks! I've never been into Monty python
How many ignored no's before you block a profile?
It's from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The Book of Armaments, Chapter 2, Verses 9-21...
Traveers, Either "The Count", or Monty Python.
To answer the OP question in my best MP voice, "three shall be the number of counting, and the number of counting shall be three" (some here will get that).
It's situational for us too. If there's persistance and/or rudeness it can make a block happen, but I rarely block people. With some SMs I will briefly explain why an SM alone isn't as much fun for either of us. That usually ends most communication as they realize it's a waste of time.
I do make use of SLS Notes to kind of keep track of things at times.
I will say after the first no depending on the response (very rude) we have given a block. I will also say over the length of time we have been here we have been contacted by someone say a a few months after the initial no was given and received well because they perhaps forgot the original contact. That can be forgiven. The problem is when after the first no they start badgering you or adding things like my personal favorite "I have a girl that I can bring". Yeah at that point we have decided why reply when a block solves the problem. Basically it is situational but usually one ignored no is enough.
AdventurousADKcouple I think that may be due to the algorithms they use to make suggestions. You looked at their profile and they looked at yours then you are likely in the same area. Oh and you said you got turned down so you did make contact once. The system sees all of this and says "Hmm these people might be compatible." I can say I have not realized the suggestion was someone we had already looked at or even had a conversation with and decided "no" until after I clicked on the profile. I have to assume that is what happens when some of these folks show up multiple times on the "Who Viewed Me".
Ad, often times we have run across situations where the male half was told "no" multiple times but still dreams. In most cases she wanted play that we aren't privy to. It really isn't a big deal to let him to continue to dream on.
OP, this happens with sm's fairly often. Initially, the ignore them and they will go away advice was what we employed. However, some of them just continued to protest being turned down and relentlessly send messages. Often times it was pretty comical. In the initial trying to be nice stages we sent replies but the block is the easiest way to breath a little. We even had one try again at a party after being blocked on here. For some of them the word "no" has to be accompanied by a stern voice and a death glare.
We have the issue of when people turn us down we still see them repeatedly looking at our profile.
Oh, i have about 4 messages from people thar have 3-5 "hello"s that i haven't responded to. I try to be nice and respond with a no. About 50% of the time the try again, usually forgetting they've already messaged me.
This may come across weird. We have never ever blocked anyone on any site. Our take is a little different. It takes two to communicate. So if the person keeps sending us messages, we can ignore the message and exert very little energy. If we respond that requires more effort and just prolongs what we already know, that we will not meet.
So if you want to block, that's fine if it makes you comfortable. If you ignore, that's fine if it makes you comfortable. I would only suggest that if you never intend to involve yourself with them, don't respond. Silence can be very loud.
Depends on how close the messages are sent. If we get a third within a few weeks (or months) after we've already said we aren't interested twice, I blocked. Over a few years? No big deal.
After about 5 and a respectul "not a good fit" then a "im not interested in what you're looking for" he was still persistent. He's totally out of the scope of what my profile mentions. On top of their last pictures were from '02 and not what I'm attracted to.
Am I being too nice?
