We have read several postings of couples saying that the Single Male Blocking feature isn't working. We have never seen the feature to be non-functional so we wanted to hear exactly what it is that you are seeing in your mailboxes that you think is getting through.
One couple told us they were getting Some One Likes You! messages from Single Men. This is not an error. This is by design. It's only a system generated message letting you know that a member has added you to their favorites list. They are not trying to contact you, the system is, therefore, you cannot block this system generated message.
Also, someone mentioned they were receiving Friend Requests from single men. Again, not an error but by design. Because it is a Friend Request, many couples who have blocking turned on still have single male friends. If we made it so Friend Requests were blocked, you could no longer create a friendship with your single male friends.
Those are the only two messages that we have been informed of that were bypassing the Single Male Blocking feature. If you believe that you are getting messages besides these two, please reply here with details and we will look into it.
Also, the Single Male Blocking feature does not block them from viewing your profile. Because they are paying members, they have the right to view every profile on the system. The only thing Single Male Blocking does is prevents them from DIRECTLY contacting you.
We just wanted to assure everyone that the Single Male Blocking system is working and if not, we want to address it. IF YOU ARE STILL GETTING EMAILS FROM SINGLE MEN AFTER READING THIS POST AND THEY ARE NOT SYSTEM GENERATED EMAILS, please let us know exactly what it is you are getting and who you are getting it from so we can investigate this issue.
Thanks for your cooperation,

This works better here than on most sites ... at least if my wife sees one that she might consider we know he's interested ... but it at least keeps some of the impolite ones away
It doesn't work if they send you a "Friend Request"..... I just got one from the profile:
TAODS (No profile, no photo and lives 7 states away, not that it matters since this is not our cup of tea)
He apparently didn't read a word of our profile. This was my response:
"Did your mother ever wish abortion was retro-active"
We don't bash single men who went to the Wizard and got a brain, All others are fair game.

Friend Requests are addressed in the first post above...

we have a block on ours for single men and on june 21st we got one.
Respec : If you're referring to the above I do not think she was talking about all single males just the one that she replied to. It is easy enough if a person/couple READS a profile and you are not what they are looking for then it should be obvious to just move on.
Exactly..... I don't bash single males as a group, just the "select" idiots who insist on pushing my buttons. My profile CLEARLY says no single males both on the front page as well as in the profile that he didn't bother to read. The goober has been on this board since 2005, he has no photos, no profile what so ever, is NOT certified as real, and lives more than 1000 miles away! (Be still my heart) With all that going on he's probably lucky to get an insult, it probably the only thing in his "in-box".
Don't get me wrong, I've been on this website since in began in 2002 and I've had a few select couples send me stupid stuff and I respond accordingly.

Like the first post of this topic states, if you are still receiving single male messages other than those described, please explain the message you are receiving so we can explore the issue.
So far, we haven't heard of any single men being able to contact members directly, only through system generated messages such as Favorites and Friends Requests, both of which have been addressed in the first post.

We don't bash single males either, However we do have them blocked and still get messeges from them....we always state if we are looking for a single male we will contact them... I just don't think they ever read the profile. If they are blocked they should have no way to contact you or even try to add you or even send you a "someone likes you" messege. after all isn't that what "block" means?[
Ok the single male thing is getting way out of control. In the last 3 days we must have had 6 to 10 single males trying to add us or contact us. What good is blocking single males if they can still try to add you..This somehow needs to be fixed...
here is my experience, I see a couple I would like to talk with so I throw a friend request and then type them a quick message and hit the send button and get back a" sorry not recieving messges " message so i wouldnt have flipped them a request had I known they werent even interested in talking and I am a couple but am listed as a single male because we got together after I allready had this profile

OK, no bashing single males here because as stated earlier...I/we have had couples be just as bad! Need some clarification though....even though this is our second account and I put "see our other account for our info...morgancouple" I still put..."SINGLE MALES-UNLESS WE HAVE CHATTED AND YOU HAVE PERMISSION...YOUR FRIEND REQUEST WILL BE DENIED! SORRY, JUST TOO MANY OF YOU!"
I think I understand the "add to favorites" thing...anyone can do that but as long as they are not your friend all they can see is your public profile..Right? So that's just the same as having my page bookmarked? OK, so I receive an email when they add me to their favorites regardless if they are blocked? I can deal with that...
Friend request...so even if we have single males blocked we can still receive a friend request from them? This is because if we decide to add a single male to our friends list (which we do have a couple of them...there are some good ones out there
), this would prevent it? So the only thing blocking a single male actually blocks is them sending a direct email to us?
OK admin...what if instead of doing that password protection friend request that was being discussed in another post you work on making this issue work better, how about block single males, they cant send you any friend request unless you give them a password...but don't make it so every friend request has to have one...that would just be a pain.
There has got to be a way to make this easier...even though our profile states no single males...the majority don't even read the profile...and this profile is short and sweet...lol...we get multiple friend requests a day from single males, local and far away, with and with out pics...and many times multiple times from the same one! Yes it gets frustrating (of course so does the multiple friend requests from anyone thousands of miles away that we have never talked too that has no public pics and who knows what privates cuz I'm not approving the request to see!) but hey this site is improving all the time right? So hopefully this is an area that will see some improvements OK, sorry, I'm done with my rant now.....

Seems like only people in Florida or Utah have problems with single males. We do not get a lot of request, but it is very easy to click deny all. If someone is bugging you with repeat request just block them. I guess we are lucky to not live in a highly populated area where lots of people would be sending us friend requests. But honestly if we have never personally met you we will not add you as a friend, so denying all request is easy for us.
wmca
let us know if you are interested in meetin up some time
let us know if you are interested in meetin up some time
Yes it is very easy to just click deny,,,however if you are going to have the "block" feature then it should work...Also nobody is bashing "single" males..If they would read!!!!! the profile b4 trying to add someone they would know not to......
Of course it works for us....
...however...
I think there are those that are not understanding the intent of this thread, and the meaning of Swingular's single male block.
As I understand it, unless you are getting e-mails with personal/customized messages such as..."Wow you're hot", or "Wow, we can I do you?", or "Hi, my name is Bob, I would like to meet you guys"...then the blocking feature IS working.
That means that if you get an e-mail that states something along the lines of, "Someone like you", it is NOT a personal message from them, but merely an auto-generated message from the database telling you that they like you. It doesn't mean they're your friend, it doesn't mean they can see your naughty pictures...it simply means that they have viewed your profile, liked it, and clicked an icon on their screen.
Now if they actually read/respected whatever stated wishes you have in your profile, and opted to disregard them, so what? It happens even in person; boundaries are crossed either intentionally or not. It's not ONLY the single males either that are offenders of this. Couples and Unicorns do it as well (as I'm sure we have).
Either way, is it seriously THAT big of an issue if the single dude sees your basic profile and knows you exist?

Thought...
That's exactly what I was wondering...the block feature only blocks personal messages sent from that person, right? I never did understand that...oh well, hitting delete or "thumbs down"..no biggie..lol..though you are a "thumbs up" in our book..hehe...and you have a great point about seeing the basic profile...thats point of the private albums!

Well we get just as many private pic invites from from couples
who have few or none private pics as single guys. Probably
more. You can always spot the pic collectors when you
open their private album and there are 2 or 3 torso pics or
close up tit or dick shots & that's all. If they are that hard
up to see sexy pics there are plenty of free porn sites. I don't
get it!!

we belong to another site that allows you to block any type of profile (Couples, males or females) and when we do a search and their profile come up in a search I see their SN but next to that it says
"This user has chosen to block couples from viewing their profile"
and at that point i cannot view their profile at all.. this feature would greatly enhance the block function here.
Just Sayin..

Yeah the single male picture hounds are bad but there are plenty of couples
that are just as bad. No email no message but they sure would like to see your
private pics & they either have none or a just a few that gives you no clue
hat they look like. Probably the husband needing jerk off material.

We agree. The picture hounds are very obvious to figure out (couples or SM). They are also the ones you never get to meet in person at lifestyle events.
I'm trying to block a couple that keeps sending invites to club elite how come they keep getting through? Is it because swingular sponsors the event?

Why not make it so when a profile requests to be friends with a single male profile, that automatically adds them to the single male's friends list should they accept? So having the block single males option block friends requests from single males, although like someone else stated, the favorites list is like a bookmark.
