RESET THE CLOCK!

Have now on reflection, as they say pick yourself up and dust down . Have a great day

Someone said something on another blog that well addresses this situation. A lot of guys use this site for hooking up and nothing else. The moment they see a message from someone not their type they just hit the block button to spare themselves of futile attention. Some guys are just natural born aholes.

In my opinion, that's exactly what it is, as if you don't fit their idea fantasy type, you are either blocked or they don't want to meet. At least being blocked makes it easier to know who to stay away from.

Yes you’re honestly better off. They are expecting one thing and you another at polar opposites. You’re not going to change them, don’t waste time and energy trying. Its more about their shallow rudeness and has little to do with you. Lots more guys out there. Don’t be discouraged by jerks.

I wouldn't necessarily say theyre just hooking up but they are very picky, almost as picky as what I would expect a woman to be

for sure bignick! We all have our preferences, but some of these guys don't give anyone half a chance even just to say hi. Sad.

This very rude! i made the same experience with a member here... Don´t understand such a arrogant behaviour! All i did was making him a compliment about his fantastic body, nothing more, not asking to meet him etc because i was sure he was not intersted in a guy like me but he immediately blocked me... In Germany we say Everyone is just boiling with water... No one is all perfect and that is good! But some guys here are pretty sure they are the hottest biggest guy in the world... Not even Mr. Olympia can be sure to be the biggest guy...

BLOCK probably is sometimes being used to express lack of interest rather than to put a stop to misconduct. Maybe the site could help with this. Blocking someone implies that person has done something wrong. That’s not fair when that’s not the situation. How about this? When you hit BLOCK it calls up two options. One says "Send a ‘sorry, not interested in further contact” message.” The other says “Send a ‘blocking you for misconduct’ message." Choosing either option prevents the recipient from sending the blocker additional messages. But it would resolve “Damn, that’s outrageous, I did nothing offensive” feelings, unless the blocker is a complete jerk who chooses the “misconduct” option when it’s uncalled for.

Not necessarily. To some block means they arent interested in interacting with you. Its also incumbent on us to not read too much into it or take it personally.

That's kinda my point. "Block" means different things to different people. Why not try to eliminate the ambiguity? Not everyone is good at ignoring what seems to them to be unfair treatment. Why risk losing good people when it might be possible to avoid it?

The good people also need to realize that not everyone is going to like them and get over it as well. No need to have multiple responses to “not interested.” Not everyone is going to want to be friends with everyone else.

I guess we will need to agree to disagree. I know not everyone will like me. If they don't respond to a message I'm fine with that. But in my opinion the only people who should be blocked are people who have done something offensive. Certainly, blocking is appropriate if you tell someone you're not interested and they message you again. But saying "Hello, how's your night going?" isn't a valid reason for being blocked, in my opinion.

thats sad and ridiculous ...but try this for size i got blocked even though id never at the time looked at the guys profile till then...some people are just plain odd mate dont let it get you down.

Definitely…that’s quite shocking On reflection I’ll just move on now.

It really is amazing how many rude people there are. I send guys compliment whether or not I am hitting on them for match, does not matter. A compliment is a compliment. They open and read the message, now they don't answer back with a simple "Thank you". If you send them a "whatever..." back then they get nasty saying they were too busy to reply. Really? you weren't too busy to read my compliment, you don't have 1 more minute to send back a thank you?! Someone told me this new generation will read the compliment but don't know how to respond back, so they just don't reply. Are you kidding me? Did these people really never learn how to say thank you and please from their parents?! If someone rudely states in their profile body "Over 40 and Fatties don't bother messaging me", then I will not compliment them at all, and will actually block them for being an arrogant a-hole. It's very sad what has become of this world.

agreed mate....ive almost always said thank you its how ive been brought up

Good for you Sir. Your parents did their job well! Yes, I get compliments alot from all different type of people, young, old, heavyset, muscled. I always make it a point to thank them, even if not looking to hook up or wrestle them. It is just common courtesy :)

It is fairly easy to block someone on this site, almost too easy. Besides the blocking feature, the site could have an option called "silence and ignore", so you could stop receiving message notifications from certain members without hurting too much their sentiments, lol. Someone may elaborate more this idea and share it with admin.

I should start blocking people who rant on their blogs about being blocked. It is really unseemly.

How can a "wrestler" be so thin skinned that you can't even take a blocking without getting so badly hurt?
