They might have used an email or Apple account instead which would disclude them from your blocking ability. Orr maybe the blocking isn’t as secure as they say it is.

This happened to me recently too, although I assumed it was because he maybe used his email address to create the account, and I was blocking on phone number

Have had this issue before, too. Guess they could have used a different sign-up method but have also read glitches can happen.

There is no real avoiding, you're going to see people on there that you don't want to see.

As a back up plan, isn’t it still possible to set Hinge so that profiles can only see you if you like their profile first? Yes, you would miss out on likes coming your way, but you can still send out your own likes and still possibly match while maintaining your privacy.

Could be a algorithm thing. sometimes hinge keeps showing me the same girl multiple times a week even tho I hit the X everytime.

I think if hinge thinks your equal to the potential match, the algorithm may give you multiple chances. Seems like it.

Or dude could be deleting and remaking his account once a month a lot and swiping for everyone. Lot of women do that too I see

Who knows. But if you simply dont wanna see the guy anymore for whatever reason, just hit block or "dont show me this person" whatever it is

He could simply be remaking his account over and over. Hinge should flag this but he could be using multiple phone numbers. You should definitely report him to Hinge, and screenshots should help.

Are you blocking or just hitting the X to dismiss? I've been seeing the same guys over and over after hitting X on their profile, so I've started clicking the 3 dots at the top right of the profile and selecting "remove"...this has stopped repeats. I haven't blocked anyone, but it's the option under "remove"--I'm guessing that would stop your profile to be shown to him again. If he's liking your profile tho, that's definitely something you should report.

Might be somebody who just tries to match with everybody and anybody over and over. Might be a single account or might be frequently creating new ones. It's actually very hard to conclude whether the guy is obsessed with you or in reality you aren't even on his radar at all and he is just a serial "right swiper".

This will sound like a strange move but if blocking seemingly or truly doesn't work, could consider actually just matching with the guy next time it arises and then moving him into your hidden ones and then just seeing what happens... Does he send weird messages? Does he just ignore you as well anyway? Does he still keep sending you likes or coming up in your feed going forward? Which shouldn't be possible unless either he first unmatches you, or actually is making multiple accounts...

Idk but I would be careful, that is weird asf. Make sure you have nothing that can tie back to your social media or anything else identifiable (job, etc)

Y’all are using your real phone number and email addresses to make these accounts? Amateurs.

Now can we have pet ownership be filterable please?

This has long been a feature on another match group app (tinder) surprised this took so long

Now add filter by relationship type like the other apps.

If you block all your contacts, are you able to unblock certain ones individually?

I had this happen to me too but I never met up with him bc he got weird before we could got so bad that I had to pause my profile. If he finds you again pretend to give in and ask for his number idk if he’ll fall for it

Real men can easily take no, idiot like that apparently cant figure it out. If i were you, id call the cops next time and see what your options are. Actually, next time he tries to reach out again tell him , you will get authorities involved and will file harassment charges. See if that helps. Sorry to hear. I promise not all men are like that.

Call the police. Tell them they are stalking you and report on the apps. Stay safe out there

Hey I want to ask? Did you get seemingly no help even after reporting it to the cops? I swear I've been hearing a lot of these lately, wherein the girl reports the stalker, and .. lo and behold, nothing happens. Is that the case?

That shit is creepy, call the authorities asap and do not be near him in person and stay on guard at all times.

his self respect is in the bin 🚮

So this guy was gifting and calling texting like anything and after repeated no and blocks he was finding new ways like multiple email ids to harass her. I first made fake profile of girl, matched with the asshole kinda guys, asked them for smokeup and hookup/netflix and chill depending on the guy, so guys gets a feel of genuinity if it's not just that will ask for a hotel room, so that they don't get alarmed or feel they getting catfished. Then I tell them to meet me here and give the match his number cause now the guy is riled up and all so they gonna get extra pushing and harrass the guy even more.

Then if that doesn't work, get a guy with scary voice, pose and police/cyber police and give few details of his phone model and some electronic accessories he uses and withrandom IP address and imei number on call and tell him he will be tracked and caught soon enough as complaint for sexual/harassment and all. These things should drive him away. I have done this for a friend of mine, you can try it too, or happy to volunteer.

No. But who cares what they think tbh. If they are on the app and aren't afraid it why would you be?

you cant pre block.

Tinder actually has this feature when you sign up. Does it based on their phone number.

I’d also love to know

In tinder it gives you the option to block any number so they cant see ur profile. In the settings part go to blocked contacts and you can add any number.

Ever figure out an answer to this? I'm worried about running into my ex and would love if there was a way to block a contact before you even see them.

yeah remove works, but thats assuming they didnt already see your picture first

No possible way. I usually just unpause and swipe few times a week then pause back again. Not comfortable with a public profile

I believe the 'remove' option within the three dots drop down to the top right can do this.

"friend"=wife

Have you ever got any accounts that were banned previously, cause if u did then hinge will detect you creating another acc to bypass the ban system

Happened to me last year. Support actually sorted it out for me in a day or so.

They did you a favor

WelcomeToThePartyPal.JohnMcLane.Gif

Hinge, Tinder any match related company have been going on a massive banning spree since covid started. Unfortantley you can combat this by sending in a appeal (which 90% of the time goes unanswered) or try to create a new profile with a new number and different pictures not using the same wi-fi internet (which depends on how bad you want to meet someone)

Embrace the algorithm. Hinge knows what’s best for you 🤣

Why don't you just remove the person?

Lmao yeah Hinge’s most compatible was always some asshole I went to high school with.

Every time it's suggested a "most compatible" person to me it's been someone poly. Which I think is odd because I'm not poly and I don't come across those profiles in the stack nearly as often as they are "suggested" to me by the app.

Like others have said. Remove the profile. And you can be also turn off receiving emails in the app. I don’t know why anyone would ever want to get automated emails from Hinge.
