why do people block my messages? (title... duh!) I saw a cute picture from a woman in her 40s. I viewed her page and was going to LOL (...I didnt LOL...) and send a friendly message telling her she had a nice sense of humor. But when I went to send the message she set it so that only certain age groups can message her... WTF?!

Because we can set preferences. Some people only want messages from people close enough with whom they could actually develop a relationship. What gets me is when people have those setting and then message me. Only I can't reply because I'm outside of their settings.

It's called preferences.. we all have them. Maybe you're not in her age range, not her taste in personaltiy, not her favorite blend of eye candy (so to speak), etc. Don't get all bent out of shape over it. It is what it is..

Nope, I've went to reply and got a message saying that the person will only accept messages from, and then a list of the settings.

Or come up as a mutual match and you cant message them for the same reason. If I am outside the range why say yes?

I only block, if grody talk ensues, but you in the strickly friends range for me - my son's age. Try again with others, somebody will be receptive.

Why do guys want me as their mutual match IF I don't fit into what they want? I do understand that we all have choices, BUT I think when people pick out their mutual matches that maybe they should be a little more sure that we do make a match for them.

Maybe part of the problem is the MM only shows a picture and a paragraph or so. Personally I answer every MM with a no strictly because of that.
