I respect you right to block

September 02 2025

I have found lately that I have been blocked more than I have been in the past and by people that I haven’t had any contact with. I respect peoples right to block and that we all use that function differently. Personally I only block as a last resort or if I feel threaten by someone. In that I don’t want someone to see my profile anymore. Why do you use the block function? How do you feel when you are blocked? Shells xx

    There’s a (relatively new) setting around visibility that you can only be viewed by matching or liked/fav profiles. Could that be what you’re experiencing?

    I (Mr) have recently noticed the same thing… Like you, we would also only use the block as a last resort, although we haven’t felt it necessary as of yet, but we have come close a couple of times. Personally don’t care if people block us, if we’re not their cup of tea then we’re not their cup of tea, and if they want to block us then that’s obviously their choice/right to do so. However, it can make the live chat a little disjointed and hard to follow sometimes as you might only be getting part of a conversation that’s happening, which can be frustrating but not the end of the world…

    Why do I block? Because I can and to feel safe. Do I care if anyone has blocked me? I wouldn't know, as I dont care; doesn’t worry me as I dont go looking to see. Ms Foxy

    My profiles almost always set to invisible so it may appear that way to people who try to click on it! Maybe people are just using the privacy settings more 💕 If it’s visible I only block people if I don’t want them to have access to my pics or bio for a specific reason

    Block away. It's a feature that, trust me, you don't want to be without on social apps. I remember a time when it was an afterthought. As for how I feel? When I was younger I might have been confused and a little hurt, but you get older and thicker skinned over time What will be, will be, what won't be, won't. No point stressing about things beyond your control

    There’s a “dating method” called Burned Haystack where the premise is block to burn to find needle in haystack. For me it varies. If I’ve looked at profile and know they are. Not what I’m looking for sometimes I’ll block to save an awkward conversation. I’ll pretty much only block someone I’ve chatted to if they won’t take no further an answer or are abusive

    The same thing has happened to me. No prior interaction. Havent even seen their profiles. Can't fully participate in the group chat in the room. I feel a little bit bullied to be honest. Could you message me to discuss this please?

    It might be my imagination but it seems like people are disappearing. Word on the streets is they get banned without knowing why. There's talk of it in the chat rooms , people saying this person blocked them or they blocked so and so. If you don't get along with someone just move along. That's life. We can agree to disagree. I'm not saying don't block anyone. That's personal choice based on your experience here. Unless you are being threatened or harassed or someone is generally being offensive eg hate speech I don't see a reason to report.
