….you randomly click on a profile that you haven’t interacted with (knowingly) and you find that you are blocked?
Do you not give it a second thought and move on?
Do you feel a little upset and wonder why?
Do you laugh and celebrate that you’ve made a mark somehow?
Everyone has even a tiny bit of ego deep down…I wonder how many people would admit they would like to know the reason…. |

Sometimes we block people who have viewed our profile and we know we are not going to want to interact with them so we block them incase they try. Not anything they have done wrong just personal preference. |

I find it amusing.
There’s quite a few in the forums. People I’ve never said a single word to who I just think I’ll have a nosy at their profile only to find I’ve been blocked.
I would be curious to know there reason, but that’s all. |

Given that this happens on a daily basis, I just make sure I've removed all the photos I've sent them, and then block them back.
That way you never see their profile again. I get blocked all the time for no reason other than having sent someone a nice message.
You need a VERY thick skin to be a single man on here. |

That’s a good point.
Although I’m 🥷 mode so that won’t be the reason 🤣 |

Don't you mean "other than not being someone they are interested in"? It stops you coming up in searches/updates n stuff so...

What you're describing is a consequence of all the rude men on here. I'm an adult and can accept rejection. I'm also not an arsehole you sends rude or aggressive messages.
I'm aware people block other people because it's easier for them. That doesn't stop it being quite rude when you've taken the time to send a well meaning message.
I also appreciate you can't reply to everyone.
I've been doing this for 20 years. I know the drill inside out. |

I feel a great void or chasm of despair, bewilderment at why I've been blocked. I feel like the protagonist in White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky, jilted, scorned and wandering the meandering avenues of Fabville.
The feeling is ephemeral, thankfully. |

Happens. Honestly, when it first happened I was immediately gutted,angry,confused and thought what the hell have I said or done..
Now, though it irks me somewhat I shrug it off and move on |

"I don't get upset. For a split second I wonder what I said to upset them, then I move on."
I used to wonder that, but then I realised they probably had a nosey at my profile and blocked me because of being married/cheating. Which is fair enough really. I can move on, flattered they ever chose to pay any attention in the first place. |

I tend to assume that I must have blocked them for some reason, rather than they've blocked me!
Either way, I don't lose any more than the few nano seconds of my thoughts running from, "oh that's odd, there must have been a good reason. Move on Apple" |

Are you assuming people should know the difference between the rude and the not, without interaction? Plus it was only one suggestion... I don't do that because if I'm not interested I don't respond... Was just an answer to your question  |

"Sometimes ive checked their profile and know we wouldnt align at all so i block so i dont keep looking accidently "
This is me 100%.
Im a sucker for a profile pic and have the memory of a fish. I've apologised so many times for keeps clicking a profile. |

You shouldn’t have told me. One day in the future I’d have clicked on your profile, saw I was blocked and wondered what the final straw for you was 🤣 |

No, I assume nothing, however, if a profile has numerous stipulations on it, and I take the time to read and respond appropriately, then the people making demands should give me that same courtesy in an ideal world.
You can quite clearly tell the difference based entirely on my profile, and what I write in a message.
If people can't be bothered to reply, then this also ends up adding to the reasons why men can't be arsed to jump through all the hoops required.
This morning I was blocked for having stubble, and told I was a timewaster. |

A couple of oddities about blocking, is that you can still see when people post photos and see their forum posts.
You can even 'Fab' their new photos, which is weird.
I've been blocked by some people who I've never even interacted with, which is even weirder! |

I just assume they do not like something I have said in the Forum, or they have seen my profile and blocked it cos of what is on it.
Probably the same reason I block people without interacting with them.
The block button is your friend |

I block people left right and centre without ever talking to them so not bothered of that happened to me |

Half of the 40+ profiles on my block list are women and I don't think I've blocked any of them just because they blocked me. It was always because of something they had said or done.
To answer the original question I don't really care what reason people have for blocking me.
It's never based on messages because I don't send messages so it must be down to them not liking my forum comments. |

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised when that happens as I wonder what I might have done to trigger that block before realising that I'm so handsome that they probably blocked me as they would be too intimidated to message 😎 |

"What are all these wimmin doing that is bad enough for you men to be blocking them 😅
"
Sharing my pics and personal info with others in chat groups.
Contacting my verifications asking for my personal details.
Introducing themselves by telling me I'm too old or too straight but they'll do me a favour if I agree to play bi.
Telling me my profile is shit because men don't have options on fab and I should be grateful for any attention.
Telling me to lose the beard or I'll never get to fuck them.
Demanding my face pic and phone number within 30 minutes of their message or they will block me.
Just a few of the reasons that come to mind but there are others and all from women with 30, 40, 100 veries saying how lovely they all are. |

I hurl abuse at them, counter block them, quit my membership, go unlos, search out their threads and get them closed down .
Or... For a moment I wonder what made them choose to block me and then bravely carry on perving, whilst applying witch Hazel to my bruised ego. |

It happened the other day - I clicked on someone's name on the forums having thought I'd never even seen their name before and I'd been blocked. Brief flicker of curiosity as to why but as I'll never know it doesn't feel a good use of my time to dwell on it further. |

"Anyone know a sure way to look at who’s blocked you?"
I think, if you click on them, it could say they’ve either blocked you, they’ve been suspended etc., but if you try and message them, it’ll directly say you’ve been blocked. Pretty certain anyway. |

Same curious yes bothered no definately not, blocked I think because of my opinion in the forums by some. I cried into my cornflakes for a week!!  |

Doesn't matter to me. Probably seen my profile and decided I'm not for them which is fine. However, I have clicked on profiles before and finding out I've blocked them even though to my knowledge I've never interacted with them. I won't unblock them as there obviously must have been some reason |

"Next time this happens. I might just have a right aggressive wank using sandpiper instead of moisturiser. The more aggressive the better."
Some people might just block you for that very reason lol |

If I see someone has blocked me, I suspect that I am obviously a threat to them, they must be frightened in someway and don't want me to see them, there's a lot of timid souls on here, so it's very understandable.
With others it's like having litter and trash that takes itself to the bin. |
