i had my picture front and center on the page, they just see my hands and suit pic. some thought it was funny others i saw them check my profile then it disappeared meaning a block, for me 6ft seemed to get me more without blocking. race is definitely a factor though, they think you're a scammer or pimp.
My friend, thanks for pointing me in that direction. If you live in the Bay I will gladly send you a bottle of fine wine or two. Not even kidding
