So yeah I (the male half) could search and wade through all the information to try and put together what I want to know or I could ask here. I decided to ask here in hopes of getting a definitive answer. Now we understand blocking single males and no interest pretty much does the same and prevents single males from contacting us and seeing our profile. We found out the hard way a while back no interest will not allow someone we have been in communication with to contact us so we changed it back. Now we have a specific single male we meet up with and communicate with here on this site but we want to "hide" our profile for a while simply because we are not looking for any new males due to having a busy summer but not if it means we lose communication with out friend. The question is if we mark no interest for single males will he still be able to send us messages and view our profile since he is on our friend's list or will it work as a block for him just like it does males we are not friends with? Is there an answer to this I have missed or has someone tried it?
