Some think they are better

August 03 2024

Ok. I sent a heart to a guy. I’m a friendly gal. Chat to most. He blocked me off the bat. Was an extreme reaction. A no thanks in a polite manner would be appreciated. How hard is it?

He wasn't keen so he blocked you. It's not extreme its just him being clear he's not interested.

Unfortunately manors aren’t that common here. It happens from both sides of the fence. Lots of rude people out there but not that much we can do about that.

Sadly, he doesn’t owe an explanation of his choice.
Same as you, when guys send you messages and you ignore/block them. It's your inbox, your choice.
You had not met, so there should be no expectations or pressures. It's a hard lesson to learn and swollow.

I do the same thing I block plenty of profiles.

I have in my profile among other things “profiles without photos or generic cut and paste messages will not receive a reply”

Block. It is called Burning the Haystack.

That’s not nice . If that person wasn’t interested that could have been polite in a response instead of just outright cruel/rude . It’s their loss .

Something to consider is that some people, unfortunately, respond to a polite "No thanks" in an unpleasantly aggressive manner
Some won't accept "No thanks" without endless "But why not?"
No means no

We cannot control how others view us. They may make assumptions, have certain expectations and preferences

I recently swapped pics with a woman and she blocked me instantly. A few days later we happened to meet as she was at a pub and she knew one of the group of friends I was sitting with. She and I were perfectly polite to each other and ended up having a lot in common as we chatted. But it was clear she wasn’t interested in dating me. C’est la vie

I reckon there are some gender differences in what it means for a man to block a woman vs the other way around. At the end of the day, the only mistake you can make is assuming rules connecting with strangers online are the same as if you know the person in real life. They’re not, and no reflection on you. You’re just not a match. Easier to say when it’s not happening to you of course

Block is a useful tool to de-clutter. If there's zero interest from us to meet someone, block is the best function this site has to offer.

Other sites have hetter functions, for example on bumble when you like a profile it is then hidden from you UNLESS they like ypu back and make a match.

It's not personal, it's simple administration.

I've come back on here in the last few months. I was previously on here about 13 or 14 years ago. I've noticed a change. Back then if you were chatting but it was obvious you weren't a match, one or the other would politely say thanks for the chat but I don't think we're suited... now you're chatting away and suddenly the other person stops... no bye, see you later, thanks for the chat, nothing.
Happened to me yesterday. Very strange.

Often people block like that for specific reasons like you might be contacting him but you're not in his age preference or didn't read that he is looking for couples only etc. Probably not the best way to go about it but that is why the block is there. To let people create their own preferred field.

I had someone block me for asking who people's favourite cammer was in the chat room. After an exchange where they said I shouldn't ask about favorites and me saying I can ask whatever I want, I was then blocked. I have no problem with it as they are just doing their part in creating their own preferred chat room or playing field
