I believe the reason you gave is a valid one for blocking someone :) If someone keeps messing you around then they don't deserve to see your profile or contact you.For me, if I have said 'no thanks' enough times to a particular person and I get sick of seeing communication from them, then I'll block. I will also block people who have been abusive or hostile.

Ill only block if they are abusive or have me blocked. Always love the ones that abuse you then block before you can reply.

I haven't had anyone harrass me yet to such a degree that I want to block him (I keep saying "him", because let's face it, guys are the culprits here), but I have had a few that just *would not* take the hint.

Quoting 'EuropianBliss' Always love the ones that abuse you then block before you can reply. I hear you... those type of guys are misogynistic cowards...If that were to happen in real life it would be likened to abusing someone to their face then running away before they respond lol.

One, because I know them and quite frankly I dont like them so I blocked them so they can never find me on here. The other two were because they are young/ignorant men who couldnt comprehend "no single men" and thought they would be able to change my mind with repeated useless messages.... Msfun

Only abusive and repeated "won't take no for an answer" types on my end. Excepting for once with someone I found I couldn't stand, on several occasions, and whose straw broke the camel's back. I blocked someone in the chat who had first blocked me. It wasn't so much a retaliatory measure as one of pragmatics. It's a lot quieter and nicer in there now. I think I'm happier not seeing her bullshit than she is no longer seeing mine. I try to deal in win-win situations wherever possible.But speaking for myself I don't use the block function to a) compensate for a lack of ability/willingness to say "no" in words or b) to feel really big and powahful. Mwahahaha, cower before my mighty ability to block you!

BUT, If someone i'm not interested keeps trying to contact me after i've told them "thanx but no thanx" I block them. I also bloke people who message/flirt me that are over 45 (only because they are old enough to be my parents and i'm not into that).

Like Krissy - about a page...all men with issues and a failure to fully comprehend that the word No actually does mean No - I want no further contact with you

I have blocks so many people over the years since RHP infancy. Now i understand the power of the block button, but i do not abuse the power. I only use it, when it is necessary called for.I have blocked mostly idiots that cause "problems", usually those who are self centred and clueless and would not admit that they are wrong, which resort to "name calling" and other childish behaviour.Other reasons is those are so stupid, i HAD to block them before i damage my brain from head butting my desk constantly from frustration. (you know.. Bimbo's.. yeah those kinda of stupidity)So yeah.. lets see now...5 guys.. 12 females...Not bad for 8-9 years of RHP membership!

I like people to read my profile before they message me but still we have a few who try to convince me I don't know what I want.....can be very annoying. If the person is persistent I will block. I don't block because of a bad encounter. I tell them the truth. I am not into mind games and seriously don't always have the time. Badgering is not the key.- Posted from rhpmobile

Not a one..... Can't say i've experienced anyone who has been that disrespectful or rude that i've required the block button. Anyone i've said no thanks to has often asked for feedback, i've offered it, and we've both moved on.

What about the abusive women?I do not have one single man on my blocked list as I have never had any reason to do it.People on my blocked list are women. *Had a 'girl', I don't even know or have ever spoken to before, out of the blue, come to my inbox the other night. Having a twisted rant and telling me off? I think she may have been intoxicated?I told her in no uncertain terms to go away and when I went to block her so she couldn't do it again she had already blocked me.I liken this to someone rocking-up uninvited to my front door wearing a balaclava. They can see me but I can't see them. It's total cowardice personified and it's stalking!Then had to block the pals as they wouldn't mind their own business either.

I look at profiles but I DO take the time to read them. Only very occasionally I will send a flirt to let them know I think their profile is great and although one thing is out of place and it will be polite. I will never send a flirt if I can see the profile does not want someone in my situation. If I do, which is rare, it is to say - wow and I guess they would get thousands of them.When I joined so not long ago I sent some flirts which in retrospect were just plain dumb (if not quite naive). However after reading and gaining an understanding through forums, I now won't send send anything unless it is a shameless compliment on the effort put into the profile, even if they have viewed me.You hope that the flirt is received as the compliment it was meant. This is a challenging place for both male and female to be. When you go to a bar, hotel or event you can see who you are communicating with, look into their eyes and make an instant decision. Most of those places after 10pm have a 50/50 percentage of either gender and the game is afoot!From what i can see here this is definitely not the case. You ladies have to put up with hundreds if not thousands of requests, flirts and messages. Is it the case that men are far happier going to a bar and pick up without having to do the whole internet thing? Go figure, crowded bar, great live music, dancing and at least the woman can just walk away and find someone else.Blocking it seems is just an easy NO YOUR NOT FOR ME message. It's not personal, it's just how it is and they probably are very happy with their current crop of suitors.

No idea why though! One male and one couple. I'm thinking they were harassing us at one stage... oh wait.. I remember why we blocked that couple, they were emotionally unstable and we could tell they'd be bad news to meet. Avoiding badness.

have 2 pages of people I have blocked and only 1 person on the list has been mean.I do it for various reasons, but mainly it's when I get a sense that something is not right or I feel my message of "no" is not sinking in. I am always polite in my "thanks but no thanks", however if people become persistent, sleazy or creepy, I'll block every time.I seem to attract profile stalkers and seeing the same people check me out many times per day over months, just makes me feel uncomfortable.It may not be fair that I have blocked so many, but it works for me and let's face it, I am not harming anyone.

Let them have the satisfaction of thinking they really have upset me when in actual fact couldnt have cared less. :)

A hint just in case you don't know, you can still block them by going to your block list and typing their name in.Peachy

Hi SweetsI hear you man. All of us are busy people who can use the time for something else. Wasting time is just not cool unless the no show was due to an emergency. I am really not sure about the etiquette of posting a person's name on the forum? I personally wouldn't but would some of you do that?

I have 4 pages of blocked people. So about 80. Mainly it get's annoying when you have politely declined the third exact same message from someone. They are wasting my time and wasting a message so I block them.

For Three distinct reasons .. 1) .. I have had issues with them from another site, and dont want the same here, blocked them when I found them viewing my profile x 3 couples and one single .. 2) .. Continuous message and not taking NO for an answer for the 6+++ time .. x 8 people .all single guys.. 3) .. Abusive people either from private messages or from threatening me on forums x 4 people .one couple and 3 single guys ..

We've been in touch with a few single guys on this site, who are really nice. But we've also received messages from single guys who are barely articulate, use no punctuation,and are highly improper when writing a first communique. These are the types of people we block.We just blocked a bloke this morning because it was written in SMS speak (which hubby cannot read - yes, he's a dinosaur), and because he simply wrote a single line asking us to meet-and-****.

I block if I get the heebie geebies. Some people just ooze bad vibes. I don't feel that I need to explain that to anyone.

I currently have three men on my block list, though it's been a while since I blocked someone. There are all sorts of wankers and a**holes on here, and many contact me, abuse me for my profile, abuse me for saying no thank you, plead, grovel etc etc. Who cares?! They don't know me, they can't hurt me, and they can't steal my time unless I let them. I say no thank you once, politely, and then I ignore them. Only when I find their persistence really, really annoying do I block them. Annoying = draining and my time is too important to me to let it be drained away by someone else.

On another site, just today, I was contacted by a couple. Was having a discussion, a civil one in my opinion.... Then comes the long message going off at me. My opinions obviously hit a nerve! Take my time constructing a reply. Hit 'send', only to find I've been blocked! Soo frustrating!!

I thought my block list would have been reset like my friends list was when I shut down my profile for a while, but I just checked and there are like 60 people there. Most of them I will probably never remember why I blocked but there's a good chance they consistently flirted, then as I checked the flirts I'd click on the profile, see who it was and then remember I'd told them no previously, but they'd see I had clicked on their profile so they'd flirt again, and so on... so I have to break the cycle somehow. xx Sarah

"Profile unavailable" means they have either blocked you or have locked their profile so no one can see it.
