Chilli Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Yeah sounds like it might be what people are saying and just a way of letting you know not to bother. Probably nothing personal . When l was on mine l was sort of a bit careful even as guyof viewing profiles bc sometimes if l made a mistake and went into someones profile say 2 or 3 times , which easily happened bc you can't remember them all, next minute they'd message me. When all l did was just accidentally landed in their profile a few times. Don't know about the POF date site itself though , l joined it once but didn't use it. But l did "try" using their forum for awhile. Holy hell , that was the most effd up place l've ever been in. Bunch of crazy bitter fkd up paranoid fools in that place. So hopefully the date site itself is a damn sight better. Edited February 16, 2017 by Chilli
Lilyana76 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I wouldn't take anything like that too personal, they just saw your profile and thought that they wouldnt mesh well with you. So instead of the awkward "I'm really not interested", it's just easier for them to block and be done with it. 2
VeveCakes Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 They are just hiding their profile...guaranteed.
Larryville Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 on POF Why do some girls view/see your profile then block you way before you have seen there profile/sent them a message... I have not read all of these maybe someone already said, if they are an “upgraded” member they can choose to only view only other “upgraded” members. Some women think that only paid member are worth chatting with.
Author GTR King Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 You serious , and what this is common on Tinder ? Sh@t !!!!!!!! Yep that's true about tinder most girls want to hook up you get the odd few that wanna date
smackie9 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Once certain people see opportunity to exploit something for their own use, others like themselves soon follow. It gets to a point is that dating sites are over run with people who only use it for the soul purpose to get laid, discouraging those who want to find a mate, so in turn they leave, leaving nothing but the riffraff. This is like ebay. I loved ebay, but now it is over run with Chinese merchants selling the same cheap crap. I really have to narrow my search down to not get 10,000 results.
Miss Peach Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I've never been active on POF but if someone has something in their profile that's not a match for me I will hide their profile so we don't show up in each other's searches. If POF doesn't have hide I could see why someone might block instead. 1
Author GTR King Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 Thanks for the replies ... O well it's a shame she blocked me but nothing i can do.
Jj66 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I have hidden profiles so they don't show up in searches anymore. Don't think I've ever had to use the block feature on an OLD app but definitely on my phone and Facebook. Unlike men, women are not usually stalker-ish until you have already slept with them.
TheTraveler Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I did this when I accidentally clicked or I clicked on someone's profile I thought I was interested in but on closer inspection was not. I didn't want them to get the wrong idea I was interested and message me. I don't use POF, but this makes sense to me. I would do this too
Author GTR King Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 I think you should only be able to ban people once they have messaged you
OatsAndHall Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Hahahah! The rabbit hole of OLD just gets deeper and deeper. I have only been blocked by one woman on POF and it was I wasn't pleasant to her because she responded to my first message with something rude. "Yea, right.. Uhmmm, no thanks..". Apparently she was a waitress/model/actress with two kids so I decided to point out that she may need to learn some communication skills before she collected her first Oscar.
LookAtThisPOst Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Yep think so... You don't even get a chance to message them You cannot be blocked on POF if you've NEVER sent them a message, so this means have sent them a message, probably a while ago, but you forgot who they are. If they change their pictures out, that can probably throw you off. 2

If they change their pictures out, that can probably throw you off. But OP won't listen at all.... She hid her profile. She didn't block you. So she's either done with OLD site for now or dating others. If you had of messaged her you would still be able to view her profile. 1

Click on the upside down triangle in the upper right corner. Third in the drop down menu is block. There, you can block someone who has never messaged you. She either went through all that or she's just hidden 1

SevenCity Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I always wondered if blocking on OLD is the polite thing to do. I've had girls message me and was not interested so I didn't message back. The only ones I've actually blocked are those that appear to be catfish / scammers or come across as inappropriate. Blocking to me sends the message that they have done something wrong. Reaching out to me isn't wrong regardless of my interest.
bluefeather Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I would bet it's because they saw something on your profile or pics that they did not like. I think you should only be able to ban people once they have messaged you There's no need to even talk since they have already been turned off. As a guy, I have done this to girls who I'm completely not interested in. I am only interested in certain women and if I read a profile that says something like, "I want to be treated like a princess," or that they are already in a relationship and looking for something on the side (have read that too), I will push a button to get them out of my search. 1
Author GTR King Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks for the advice... She probably hid her profile or blocked me o well.. not the end of the world
