Why does Match.com show you you've been blocked?

[WinterBerry340]

I've been on the dating website Match a few times and I'm so incredibly disappointed and disheartened they have still not changed their blocking format. It literally shows you someone has blocked you just because you sent them a like or even just because you viewed their profile. And what's an even bigger cheat is that when you swipe left by mistake, it automatically means you like the person when you don't, and you can't undo the like which is just stupid.

None of the other dating websites I've been on show that someone blocked you. Their profile either disappears or it says the profile is not available. So you wouldn't know if they had blocked you or if they deleted their profile. This is a much better and more subtle and reasonable way of handling rejection whilst Match just likes to rub it in your face. It's like they're saying "This man/woman blocked you because they don't like you. Don't contact them again". It's just hurtful. This is how they lose customers.

I have absolutely no idea why they ever thought this was a good idea. Has anyone else felt the same and what dating websites have been the best or worst for you?

You’re too sensitive to OLD OP of this is worrying you

It shows you that you’re blocked rather than blow smoke to your ass and you keep on messaging someone who doesn’t want to hear from you

Don't use match then? I've never been on it, there are so many others to choose from

But if their profile is no longer available on the other sites - I think almost certainly I’d read in to that - blocked.

Its just a difference in terminology I suppose

You may think I'm being sensitive but I'm just raising a concern. You could have handled your response in a better way than that.

You have kind of just proved my point op!

You should be called ReturnofRude. Quit trying to start a fight.

Good grief OP
you have done it again… proven my point!

lighten up

They are probably just blocking the people they accidently swiped left on?

Hurtful? You don’t even know them

OP, this is simply how dating apps are. There are small differences between each one but they are essentially ‘do you look attractive enough for me to bother with’. When all you have is a photo, left and right swipes happen very quickly. Generally, most people won’t spend a huge amount of time reading your profile.

Accept them for what they are, a surface level way of getting yourself out there to a bunch of single (ish) people of your desired sex. That’s it.
