What does it take for you to Block someone on POF?

disrespect, rudeness, arrogance with the rudeness-communication which is other than civil. I don't block someone who is none of the above, even if I am not interested in them. I don't feel 'threatened' if a mismatch pops up in my inbox, just figure they didn't read my profile, but when they don't recieve a reply from me, if they go back and read what I am looking for (that they are not) they will figure it out. If they are offensive tho-no question I will block them. If they are offensive to the extent of breaking POF rules, I will report them, not just block them. Fortunately, the majority of my contacts are quite pleasant!

I agree with oleandrummer. It's only polite to respond in some fashion to someone who has taken the time to not only read your profile but to write. (Of coarse I'm assuming the written message was not rude or obscene!) I always try to write back to anyone who has taken the time and trouble to contact me. For those who don't respond at all when I've written to them, I just figure that maybe they aren't as classy or real (or maybe are a "player") as they tried to sound in their profile and I probably wouldn't want to know them afterall.

I think that someone that sends unwanted messages or gets too vulgar in their very first messages would be one reason.

Another reason might be if one got a 1/2 threatening bullying type email because they did not like you point of view on the certain subject matters.

I was told by some one that sometimes it's a good idea to keep a copy just in case you are further threaten, bullied or harassed.

I block anyone who emails me that I am not interested in. That way they don't try to email me again in a month hoping I changed my mind....

One guy sent me a message, I didn't care for what it said and when I read his profile I knew there was no interest but I just thanked him for looking. He messaged me again a month later and I read and deleted well he sent me another one being a real smart a$$ about me ignoring his messages so I blocked him. He then changed his username and messaged me again, very sexually explicit so I blocked him again.

I very rarely feel the need to block anyone as I've been pretty fortunate and 99% of the gentlemen I've corresponded with have been courteous and gracious.

Then there's that 1%.

Got a message this past week just saying, "GREAT TITS!!! >>>>"

Moron.

I blocked the window-licker after sending back a most scathing reply.
