Why do guys write such mean words to women then block them Page 1 of 1    
I wanted to ask
why people write mean spirited words that are hurtful and degrading to other people then Block them .
Why not give them a chance to respond ''we are adults '' Respect was at a loss . Especially if one
was just being humorous and funin arround . And why does it matter if people have deleted there past profile and come back to site with new user name ect... they still have pics .
And maybe they have came along way since that time . Or maybe they met
some one that sceered the bejibers out of them online .... There are some scary people in the world and online unfortunately .

There's a fine line between "funin around" and being a smart ass, if I get a message that's insulting I block her. You're on a dating website to meet someone in person not play games, unfortunately most people on POF just want to play games.

An insulting message is insulting, but unless you need the last word, what does it change to be blocked? The best revenge is living well as they say.

Lol, it's similar to that "get them before they get me" type of deal.

Some people do it because they can hide behind their screen and not have to deal with the retaliation that would happen if they were face-to-face. It's cowardly but people who write mean things unprovoked , aren't really all that worried about their strength of character anyway.

That said, why do you feel the need to respond back ? Why do you feel cheated out of the chance to do that ?

You comment about the chance to respond because we are adults, doesn't seem very adult but more so adolescent in the need to hook into it and respond. Almost like a teen who has to have the last word. Rise above it.

Awwwww whats the matter cupcake? You didnt get to respond with a snappy snotty reply and get the last word in?

Learn to quit reading these kind of messages as soon as they turn ugly. Forget about it. Block them and move on. Why would you possibly feel a need to respond to such a message? What actual good could possibly result?

There is your REAL answer.

READING BEYOND THE SUBJECT LINE, it sounds like you didn't want to stab back at them but rather to explain yourself
and denied that chance in email, you explained yourself here in a thread.

They dont care, hon.
If they didn't ask you a question, they're not interested in an answer.

Sorry that you got scared. Please continue to do what you need to protect yourself.
Including blocking people who are scary or mean.

If someone blocks you, it's because they don't want to read your explanation. Just forget about them and move on.

You all have a valid point 'guess its because in the past had chatted with this person on POF
and was really just working up to say Hello and to suggest maybe could lighten up a bit in the profile
However I would have liked to stood up for myself too. But its ok '''that I did not get to respond cause it would not have been a good Thang ' I do have the capacity to move on
Guess thats why they r pastense ' Should have left the past in the past 'had forgotten some at the time' But
.. Believe I was
chatting with a mean spirited person then ,Kinda creeped me out sometimes .
My lesson here is :
When someones
profile is demeaning ' critizing '& shoddy towards women or people in general ' BIG RED FLAG >>>BEWARE
and move on ! works for me

Some people are inconsiderate and angry at the world. The important thing is to avoid painting the next person with the brush the last rude person gave you.

Ah, so in fact, you are one of those trolls who has an opinion on everything and need to tell everyone else how to run their lives, and when they have had enough of you, they block you, and you are pissed because you couldn't get the last word in before blocking them...

That line of yours explained it all.

I've had a poster do that to me on this website. Some people are just miserable by nature, and the reality is you get the last laugh anyways. They'll stay miserable and bitter in life.

I don't see the point in getting the last word in, and if someone like that were to block me, I would see it as flattery, as they were thinking about me to the point of trying to get under my skin, but not only that, to play petty games like blocking me thinking it'll bother me.

If they're that immature about things, you should thank them for getting out of your life that easily.

There was a study done recently about mean-spirited people. Sort of unofficial, I suppose.

A man placed fake animals off the side of a road, and observed about 1000 or so cars as they passed by.
Snakes, turles, tarantula, as I recall.
About 6% swerved off the road just to run over the animal.

Ahh, here's the link: http://editorial.autos.msn.com/blogs/autosblogpost.aspx?post=834f6c81-3815-4856-8199-ce70f480fdd8

So truly mean people out there, for sure.
