How to get less blocks from people

People can block for all sorts of reasons, like for taking too long to respond, so don't take it personal.  

Here are some tips for messaging people.

1. Put some thought and reply with a message that is appropriate to someone's posts.  Generic "hey"s and "You are beautiful" are generally cause for getting blocked.
2. Reply with a message longer than 5 words.  Short messages tend to be ignored or blocked.
3. Be genuine and respectful.  
4. Share something personal, interesting, or funny.
5. Have a real profile photo of yourself.  Everyone in the community is looking for real people to get to know.
