I regularly get strangers that spam me with multiple Facebook messages until I finally respond and ask them to stop. Maybe 5-6 a week. They are usually people with broken English listed as living in places like Morocco, Spain or Iran. But almost every time, when I ask them to stop they say 'no please listen I love you', 'you are so beautiful I can't stop', 'you have to believe me I want to be together', the typical charade. But.... when I insist they must cease and desist, they always say, without fail, 'Okay then if you do not want to be with me, then block me'. Out of experimental curiosity at this point, I have started to say 'I shouldn't have to block you, you could just stop messaging me. It's that simple.' But they start begging. 'PLEASE block me, please!'
Once, I even said 'Okay I will.' But then didn't, to see what happens. He stopped messaging.
Why? Why do they want to be blocked so much? The common denominator is undeniable, 100% of the men that have contacted me from other countries have reacted this way. What part of culture dictates this behavior, and why do they insist that being blocked is the only answer to the problem?
Why do strangers on Facebook ask me to block them?

Depending on the culture and household they could be raised strictly, but this seems a bit different, even if this is in addition to a strict household, which there is no clear evidence of. If someone contacts a stranger online they must be looking for something different or some sort of companionship even online on not a dating website. If this isn’t a prank than they might just be emotionally disturbed individuals who are conflicted on what to do. To get a better understanding look and see if any of them with similar diologue are connected or have mutual friends, as this can explain a lot if you wish to look further into this. You could block them if you want if you fear they’ll stalk you or seek out friends you have on Facebook and other social media’s as you can find whichever ones you have if you connected your social media’s. If you rather see what it is internet strangers have to say than don’t block them. If conversation becomes awkward and inappropriate than report them, as social media sites take reports.
