Folks, listen to me.
Don't go looking up what blocklists you're on or who blocks you, down that path lies madness, poster's madness! Don't do it! People will block you for any reason, or no reason at all, just ignore it. I always assume that if I'm blocked it's probably because I was annoying.

Something I don’t think people talk about enough in the Dating Discourse is the part of the “talking phase” where she starts trashing men. This is a Green Flag - your job is to empathize, agree that those men are miserable, & demonstrate that you at least endeavor to not be like them. I have faith.
No "AI" generated applications please. We read every application. E.g. we read through nearly 600 internship applications a couple of years back. It's pretty easy to tell whether someone is blasting slop or truly spending the time to apply.
