Ad Sites - blocking single males?

[JustAskJulie]

Some of the ad sites have features now that allow you to block single males from contacting you (or other groups you may not be interested) and in turn you are blocked from contacting them as well. Is this a feature that you use? If so, do you ever find yourself unblocking them just to look through what you are missing?

CT has a block singles and other users feature and we refuse to block anyone. Seems sophomoric to us to block anyone. We’ve had someone look at us and when we tried to return the favor we discovered they have us blocked. This has been brought up to the Webmaster by many that if someone blocks you they should not be allowed to see you as well. The Webmaster agreed and it is set up that way now. Another reason blocking is pointless is because all it takes to circumvent the block is setup another account and all the blocks are pointless. So why bother blocking?

SLS has the same blocking feature, but we haven't blocked any groups. We've blocked a few individuals that turned into stalkers or sent trashy messages.

We don't block people unless they become a problem. It clearly states in our profile that if we need single men, we'll find them. It doesn't stop them from emailing us though. Our reason for not blocking them is that if we do happen to meet a single guy at a meet and greet, it's nice to be able to converse with them later.

Well we don't block any groups, but if someone gets to be a problem we will block them. We have done this to both single guys and a few couples. We don't usually block people unless they get really rude to us continue to contact us after we have said no, no and well no.

A site we belong to has a "Block Single Males" feature and I think it's a great idea, in particular, because IF you write to a single male (which you can do even if you have the general block feature activated) that male can reply. Without you writing him first, he can't write to you. So in this case, it does put control in the hands of a couple who doesn't want to be approached by males, but is open to seeking someone out when they are ready.

The only way a member can't write to you is if you go to their personal profile and click on 'block' which keeps them from being able to write to you even if you send the intial message.

We don't block single males because we've not had a problem with them. Yes, they contact us, but only a few have been people who didn't get the meaning of 'no' the first time, so we blocked their personal profile.

We use the "block single males" feature on SLS because we aren't interested in single males so we don't want to advertise ourselves to them. For us it is a useful way that we can target the people who see our add. I have actually cancelled an account we had with another add site because they didn't have this feature.

For some time we just had, "No single males" in our add but didn't block them. Then after being flooded with emails from single males we changed it to, "NO SINGLE MALES, all emails from single mails will be deleted unread" and we repeated that several times in our profile. Didn't make a bit of difference, we still got a dozen or so emails from single males for every couple that contacted us. So, we blocked single males, now we only get one every other month or so from some single male who has set up a couple account to get around the block feature. These we promtly foward to SLS tech support and they usually get handled in short order.

No we don't use it. We are not looking for single males. We have the " no single males" on our profile. It is not that much of an issue for us. I mean it is just a few emails a month from guys who can't read. Perhaps others get more mail and it is an issue but for us it is not a bother. patrick pattie

We too use the block "single males" feature because of the very same reasons as Goodtimes stated. If there is a single male Mrs. or the Other Mrs. is interested in WE will seek them out not the other way around.

Either single men just simply can not read or blatantly choose to ignore your "NO SINGLE MEN" notice.............

This is THE reason why I don't fool with lots of you people...you have no class and the men let the women rule...men might physically have balls but mentally they have BB's as from BB guns. Woman who post these kinds of posts are afraid of real men. You carry your security blank, your husband, with you because you're afraid to put yourself out there on your own...you're afraid of rejection and having to go home alone...pitiful. The few women who don't fit this catagory are THE only ones who have the guts to be real women...anyone who wants to dispute this, I right here...have at it...no guts...

S2S - it is because of men like you that we block single men.........and I would like to add that it isn't a matter of who "RULES"............but a matter of choices between the couples.

As for being afraid to be out there on my own.............sorry but you are saidly mistaken...............I was out there as a single female before I was in this relationship and I "STILL" blocked single men.............enough said!

As for going home alone - if I did, it was by MY choice.............

Perhaps it could be because of this attitude you seem to have as to why "YOU" are single............

S2S,
Your post is very offensive to me as a woman. You have the archaic attitude of you are the man, therefore the BOSS, and I as the woman should accept my place and be a good girl. Well my friend, those days are over. At least in this family they are non existent. I am NOT the boss. And Jay is not the boss. We share this thing we call life. This is probably why we have been married for 16 years and you are frustrated. Wow. It scares me to think that there are men out there with this attitude for my daughter to run into.....good thing I carry a big stick! LOL.
Dude, get over yourself. You do NOT have the right to bash people for doing what they want to do in their own lives. What gives you the right? They do not judge YOU, but YOU feel it is your right to judge others. And you hide behind the "I'm a real man" ploy. Well, usually "real" men like that are really good at hand jobs, because not too many women are spreading their legs for gentlemen such as this. We do not block single males, because I have friends who are single men and by putting a block they would never be able to contact us on sls. We have in the past, YES. YES, we HAVE. You can only take so many "Nice tits, sure wish I could F*** em" emails from morons who CLEARLY DID NOT READ ONE SENTENCE OF YOUR PROFILE. So we contact singles as we are interested. I will NOT apologize for this. And since I have no time for YOU to tell me what it means to be a real woman I do not need a response from you. I don't know any woman out here that needs some archaic thinking man to tell them what it means to be a "real" woman. Keep on searching for her...but with your attitude you'll pretty much just find the 5 knuckle shuffle.

This is the reason we've eliminated all but one single guy out of our repertoire and my repertoire (we do play separately on occasion).

Insulting, belittling and rude commentary about both halves of a married couple, and your old-school expectations about our gender roles just screams a class act to me - not!

I'm not afraid of real men - but I am very afraid of running into the likes of you and your ilk. Rude, insulting, clueless and classless jerks are definitely not "real men". You are just frightening, actually.

While I do play with my husband, sometimes I play alone. No fear of playing alone here. In any case, I'd never do anything, alone or with my spouse, with someone like you. Again, you are just frightening.

Ummm, hate to break it to you, but even if all of us married or coupled women DID fulfill your little fantasy world by playing alone, even if rejected, we aren't going home alone - we all have someone to go home to!

You? Probably not so much, if you use any of your preceding sentences as your typical pickup line for couples or single women.

Whatever.
