No Interest (Profile still viewable)

I don't understand why y'all cannot analyze existing sites that give users better control over all of this. Why does this company insist on keeping this site looking and behaving as though a teenager created it using some flash and html?

It's my own fault for paying for a lifetime membership before I saw the full scope of what I was paying for. That shouldn't preclude expecting this site to be so much better and actually worth the investment.

It's as though the company doesn't actually give a fuck about its customers. I hope people.realize it and stop giving you money.

I think that either no interest or blocked people be it couples, or singles should not be able to be seen from both parties. They should not show up in recommendations, and they should not show up in searches or events. Just makes it cleaner that way. Once someone says they have no interest in singles or couples, they should be invisible to each other until they mark otherwise.

@sls_WayneC I vote for both blocking, and no interest but they can still see your profile.

My reasoning is because I go into the chat rooms. As you know there are a lot of singles, both male and female. I don't care if they look at my profile, as a matter of fact I'm kinda tired of hearing "we can't see you because you have single males/females blocked". I don't have them blocked, I just have no interest at this time of engaging with them which that is said in my profile.

Thanks in advance for looking into this. ~N

Wayne that would work fine.

This didn't used to be the way, Wayne. We used to be able to select "No Interest" (profile still viewable) and our profile could be viewed, but they couldn't email us.

So now I guess we have to block them entirely. Great.

Wayne, years ago if you had single males blocked globally but you put them in your Friends list (now Favorites) your profile would be open to them and they could contact you. I don't think that works anymore but it certainly worked for users who wanted their profile to be open to select males.

sls_WayneC OMG that would be almost perfect. We don't even mind them seeing our profile but limiting their ability to contact us unsolicited would be the best thing this site could do. BTW being able to set this for any "group" (single male or female and couples) would be just fine as it would allow people more control over who contacts them. It would more importantly allow folks to search and browse profiles and contact those of interest without the hundred others noticing you viewed their profile and sending you the "What's up?" (or whatever equally limited) message. Yeah we could turn off the who viewed me and get the same results but we like knowing who looked at our profile even if we do not make contact.

<p>Ideally, you would like to have something like a "Will contact you" option where males cannot contact you, but you can contact them, and once you contact them, that opens your profile to them?</p>

<p>Note, this would apply to all genders. I am only using single males as an example because that is the one that most people complain about.</p>

Wayne there are those who , while occasionally enjoying a single male , play mostly with couples.
If we see a single male that seems to suit we might wish to contact them. We , however do not wish to be deluged with solicitations from single men.
Blocking works both ways. Perhaps No Interest would just eliminate our profile from their view but not theirs form ours?

<p>I'm looking into this.</p>

<p>So how do all of you think the "Block" and "No Interest" should work? Basically, what is the difference between "Blocking" single males and selecting "No Interest" for single males? Should there be a difference? Do we need both these settings?</p>

<p>Vabeachcouple33,</p>

<p>Single males can message you because you have not blocked them. You need to select the Block option on your preferences page if you don't want them to contact you.</p>

Dear site people

Why does this issue persist? Single males can still message us in spite of our settings.

Come on....

I'd rather the site just work like it is supposed to.

A guy can dream, right?

But yeah single males can now message us.

Clicking on their profile and blocking them will block and remove the IM

You've been here longer. It's never worked for me, so...2.5 years. And the app apparently allows anyone to contact you for some reason, at least intermittently.

It used to work. For us, anyway.

But yeah single males can now message us.

That has never worked.

Is broken again, or maybe it's just still broken I'm not sure which it is at this point. ~N
