POF : Is getting blocked common?
I just signed up for POF and have only sent one message. Their profile stated they like to travel and hope to visit all 50 states, so I just asked what was their favorite state to visit so far. Anyways, I’ve been blocked and am wondering if that’s common. Kind of feels bad, man.

Welcome to plenty of flakes 🙂
Yes, it is extremely common. I have been blocked a lot and its usually for no reason. Ive been blocked after asking them if I can get to know them better.
They could just simply delete the conversation but they want to make sure you never message them again and that’s why they block. It just means they have zero interest in reading your message and think you may end up messaging them again.
Been there. Don’t get too attached to people on POF, that’s my advice. Unless you haven’t sealed the deal and talk to each other on a daily basis, its best to not take it personal.
Since you’re new, POF is one of the worst apps out there, only slightly better the Tinder (IMO). I think that’s because the app is free. I think people take it way more casually when they aren’t paying for the service. It doesn’t cost them anything to window shop.
So the other night I started talking to someone, had a conversation going for an hour or so. Slept that night, messaged them the next day. After that message they blocked me.
I was baffled and it sucked, but at least it happened right away. Looking back on it, they had lousy typing. They also weirdly said they wouldn’t mind talking to me « for a while. » I also examined and rexamined their profile and thought….I’m not so sure if the person in those photos is really 30. <_<
Welcome to the world of Online Dating friend. Expect to get likes as well and no messages even if you reply to them. Also, expect them to suddenly lose interest in you and ghost you without giving you a reason why even if you have a lot in common.
It’s torture and it’s pain yet we still do it for god knows what reason
Absolutely. I’ve been blocked after one message. She was my age, my height, my (regional) location, non smoker (like me), active (like me), no kids (like me)… no reply and blocked.
I get some guys can get shitty with rejection, but for me, I don’t give a fuck if someone replies with « thanks for the message, but I’m not interested ». Fucking cool… no worries. But an outright block? Thats an issue with them….
OnLineDating (OLD) is made up of the pickiest, most entitled women, that funnily enough, can’t meet anyone IRL, so resort to OLD.
That’s odd to be blocked so quickly. I only block if I get second messages after not responding the first time or if they get rude.
I’d try not to take it personally. Which I know is easier said than done. Think of it this way, who are they to you at this point to matter that much?
Hey… I’m a girl and based in Ireland and it’s defo something girls do. Personally I wouldn’t have when I was single unless someone was rude or messaged more than once or twice. From speaking to other friends though us girls are kinda shitty for it. I wouldn’t take it personal… You need a very thick skin online dating
