Contact preferences and blocking
Set age and location preferences, block members, and review your blocked list.
Contact preferences
Choose an age range and use countries or continents as either an only from list or a not from list. These preferences apply to new contact without publicly revealing the reason for a denial.
Blocking
Blocking stops new interaction, removes friendship, hides affected comments, and overrides ordinary contact preferences. Your contact settings include a private list of blocked members with an option to unblock them.
Availability is different
The Not searching profile cue is not a block. It communicates limited availability while leaving direct contact possible.
