So this morning it happened again. A female BBO friend told me she had to block a male bridge partner who wanted sex.

Once, long time ago, I was a yellow. I quit after a couple of weeks for a variety of reasons, one of them being yellow calls where the problem I had to resolve apparently was that someone needed to know my bra size.

I have lost count of the number of male bridge partners, or, in some cases opponents, who wanted to know my WhatsApp number. And asked if I had a boyfriend.

I am not sure what to do about it. Some easy solutions include using a male identity or a profile pic of my toothless granny. But if that is necessary I'd rather just quit. I do, though, frequently log in invisible which reduces the problem somehow.

What about one-click report options for explicit sexual suggestions (which could effectuate a ban when confirmed) plus an option for unsolicited approaches without explicit sexual content (which could effectuate a warning)?

It happens so frequently that writing abuse reports all the time is tedious.

Online platforms in general don't feel like safe spaces.
