Blocking after not getting a fast enough response.

April 05 2026

PSA (and unfortunately most of the people who read this won't be the ones that do it). If "our profile" has read your message and "we've" viewed your profile, it doesn't mean we've BOTH read it and looked at your profile. The number of times we've been blocked within hours/a day of receiving a message and not replying fast enough is crazy. People are busy, it might take weeks to sit down and check you out and reply, be patient.

In saying that, I guess it means we've dodged a bullet with a truly impatient couple (or one half of).

Personally, blocking someone for no reason is a rude thing to do. I would say those are the ones who just joined RHP or inexperienced/impatient.

Someone who has been on this lifestyle and spend a few years on dating profile would never block anyone off quickly. There were occasions where people responded after 1 year lol

Everyone has work, personal life, kids, family etc. There is no point in meeting some one who can’t understand this simple thing.

They have filtered themselves out. The system works 😉

It means they're not your people, just let them go and say thank you for showing their characters early and not wasting your time 🙃 why would you need people full of drama in your life?

Or they may have simply hit the “Not Interested” button.
Just because someone sends a message doesn’t automatically earn them a reply. On sites like this people get plenty of messages, and sometimes silence is the answer.
Being blocked isn’t always about impatience either. Sometimes it just means someone had a quick look and thought, “not for us".
It’s not personal, it’s them just filtering. Which people are allowed to do. Their inbox, their choice.

I believe this is probably done mostly by new and inexperienced people who feel self-conscious about being read and looked at but no reply received. I can’t say for sure, but I believe most experienced people are not too fussed and won’t track when their message was read and then quickly block. It’s nerves in my opinion, not impatience.
If you want to put a stop to it, if you are interested in someone’s profile after getting a message from them, you could send a quick reply, simply saying thanks, great profile, please give me some time to share your message with my partner so we can get back to you together.
This could be a strategy not to scare off those nervous newbies.

We have lost count of the amount ‘time wasting’ chats we have had recently or us sending messages and getting no reply. We don’t block, but if we send an intro message and get no reply for 2 days (especially if we can see they have read the message/are active) than we remove the message and move on. We have noticed more and more that profiles/people seem to read our messages but sit on it/don’t reply.

We have said this before and we will say it again, if you have time to log into your app and check messages, you have time to write something/send a reply! The whole we are busy excuse is BS.

100 % agree with what Andre_Sydney wrote, if people are that time poor/busy why not write something in your profile or send a quick reply back (cut and paste job) to let people know you have received the message, but will reply at a later time when you are together/give the chat your full attention etc.

I’m new here so forgive me for asking but how can it take weeks to view a profile? Weeks? Maybe this isn’t the right place for me if it can take that long just?

If “It might take weeks” that may be limiting for you to meet people on here. RHP is primarily a hookup site, and there’s a huge spectrum of timelines from first message to getting sexy, but I’d say the majority of folks aren’t here for a slow burn.

The blocking within a day is a bit silly, but if I take time to message someone, they read my message, view my profile and I don’t hear back I take that as a sign they’re not interested, which is fine.

After maybe three days or so I’d block their profile, not because I’m upset but for two reasons:

It’s easier to search profiles when I know anyone who comes up isn’t someone I’ve talked to before and didn’t connect with.

I tightly control access to my public pics and bio unless I’m interacting with people. It’s unnecessary disclosure of intimate parts of myself if someone’s not interested. Privacy and safety is critical.

And people don’t owe you your self prescribed level of patience. Everyone’s doin their own thing on here. Roll with it and have some fun 😈

I hope this is helpful perspective.
