What is one of the most ridiculous things that you have ever been blocked for?

A couple of months ago, this woman I was chatting with on Instagram blocked me, because I wasn't responding to her messages quick enough for her. She was like, "What happened? Where did you go" then 10 seconds later while I am typing she just said, "Okay, I will have to block you now" 🤣.

I think that happens a lot.

People want the same speed of communication that they get when face to face.

Waiting for people to type is boring.
The temptation is to multitask.
That leads to distraction, and hence even more delayed responses.
If the other person is doing nothing but waiting, that leads to boredom, or misinterpretation.

It is not an ideal medium for relationships.

@hartfire That's one issue with online relationships, is that life may happen and you may not be able to let the other person know ahead of time.

@SubstantialKick Indeed. That person sounded rather needy. You dodged a bullet there. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard When I was new here I ended up in a 5 minute "relationship" with a user named Wildflowerr. She ended it so soon for the exact same reason as above...lol.

@SubstantialKick Yeah...that sort of thing doesn’t improve, unfortunately.
There’s a guy on the site who will send women unsolicited messages, and if they don’t answer right away, he will actually send another message calling them “rude”, cursing them out, and will then block them. I only receive direct messages from people I friend. So I didn’t find his two messages until he’d already blocked me, but several other women had described his behavior.

@bijouxbroussard I think his mommy and daddy should have a chat with him on how to talk to women 🤷🏾‍♂️.
