Wink Etiquette

What's the etiquette when you receive a wink? I normally wink back, sometimes I get a message, other times never hear from them again!

Unless we've already chatted, we ignore them

Would you even look at the profile or just completely ignore?

But i rarely wink at anyone. I think most girls dont seem to check them

Same as a message. If interested then message back if not still message but saying thanks but no thanks.

I've yet to see why we have winks when we can message. It's a lazy way of trying to make contact. Words always been a wink hands down in my book...show life between the ears..

Not everyone is great at writing a first message but that doesn't mean they're not worth talking to

That's why I think it's great that Fab has so many means to make first contact or show interest! A wink, a Fab or a message; whatever works for you

I'm sure though that given the amount messages women/couples recieve, winks outnumber them ten fold at times. So messages are still the better medium but a connection can still spark from a wink

Reading a profile and seeing something that prevents me from mailing or possibly a contradiction like "won't meet smokers" but yet they smoke I'd use the wink function and if they wink back then I'd mail them.

It amazing what can come from a wink

I send winks now rather than type up a message that may not be read! At least if the person winks back, then you know they're interested and start a convo. It's less annoying to not get a reply to a wink than to have a message not read!

Dunboyne & Dublin

I'm shy to begin with and am a serial Winker! This feels like an AA meeting

If I get a Wink, I'll almost always write a Thank you response and, if interested in the lady, add something relating to them or their profile. Have had some good natters as a result.

Yep each to their own. It's good to have choices and options. It would seem most women ignore winks according to the forums.

Just a thought, It might be reflective of their self confidence depending on their approach of a wink or first message....open to discussion.

I like to receive them.

I see them as a 'thinking of you' sign.

Or if it's from 'strangers' it's a kinda 'look at me and if you like get in contact'. So I wink or msg back

We just delete them as they're usually sent by neanderthals trawling the site send them out by the dozen in hope of a reply. Genuine, articulate profiles will have the courtesy of short mail. Unfortunately winks can not be deactivated
