POF : Racking up blockages
Do you find sometimes that half the women online have blocked you? I think I need to delete my account.

I block if someone messages me twice because if they didn’t get the hint the first time, they keep messaging until they’re blocked. I don’t mean to hurt anyone by it, I just don’t want to get hate mail and all that which happens more often than not.
Edit: case in point, see the comment right below mine.
I don’t know the aspects of blocking well enough, but if women who block you stop coming up in searches and « meet me » then: they are kind of doing you a favor because this would be culling out the ones that are not possibles.
If they are blocking, its %97+ likely you were not going to win them over anyway. They are helping you by eliminating someone your not going to vibe with from your purview.
Personally, I wouldn’t care about getting blocked after one message if it didn’t mean that you got banned from the site after a certain number of blocks. That’s the only part about it that really bothers me.
I don’t get some people, though. I got blocked one time after a several message exchange. Conversation was dying anyway, but she sent me a Youtube link that was a Family Feud clip with Steve Harvey, so I sent her a cartoon clip of Tom & Jerry where the cat is playing a piano and it’s set to Dr. Dre’s « Still DRE. » And then she blocked me right afterward. Maybe she doesn’t like rap? Heck, I don’t either, but I thought it was funny.
Anyway, I got sick of sending thoughtful first messages where I did all the right things, you know, tried to use light humor while also mentioning stuff from their profile to show I read it, didn’t call them hottie or sexy or beautiful or any of that stuff most guys do. I tried to jump through the hoops, but I just ended up getting blocked for it. Not all of them, not even most of them, but enough where I had to eventually delete my profile for fear they’d permaban me. And I just haven’t bothered signing back up since then.
I think men use the block button too, though. I’ve seen women mention in profiles that they don’t know why their previous account got deleted, and I’ve talked to them and they’d say they get blocked a lot, usually after they rejected someone.
Over time you’ll end up messaging most of them, some twice, and they will block you.
The reality of this site is that most of the women don’t want to talk to most of the men, finding compatibility out of the few % that will actually communicate is unlikely.
I severely burned one woman who blocked me before on a previous account recently, I didn’t insult her looks even though she’s overweight, i didn’t make fun of her profile, i straight up told her I think she’s a horrible person, she blocked me again of course, and tried to make fun of my comment, but i know it hurt and I hope it really, really stung.
