Who’s a winker?

So often I tend to wink at a guy who I fancy and then nothing! If I’m lucky a wink back. Does anyone else use a wink as I way of communicating your interests?

If someone winks at us, we might wink back if they're of interest and they'll message. Lately we've had so many messages, they're like buses, so we have been less inclined to encourage any more via the 'wink system'.

If I view a new profile I'll usually wink anyway even if I don't message, just really as a way of saying thanks for letting me have a look and a read about you

(I'm usually on stealth and it feels a bit sneaky looking at someone new without them knowing)

If i'm interested I message. Men sending winks to women is useless. The other way around perhaps a bit more successful.

I don't respond to random winks anymore. I figure if the person is genuinely interested they should put some effort into messaging as I do.

Not unless it’s a winking thread or someone has winked me. If someone has winked me and I am curious as to what they’ll do next I wink back. I’ve never had a response from the wink back so I conclude they aren’t interested. I’ve sent a couple of messages on the back of a wink too and never got a reply back.

I now assume that winks are just mistakes or a nervous twitch.

Just a statement of fact. Women receive dozens of winks and potentially hundreds of messages a day. Time and patience is limited to be checking them. So as a man, I find the feature useless.

With regards to receiving them, while flattering, a message is far preferable to a wink.

I often wink, but rarely does it develop into anything.

I do check each and every wink I receive, and usually say hello.

If YOU winked at me, GiantKitty, I would most definitely respond positively!

I use winks as a way of testing the water, I have spent hours on here sending messages for them to get deleted straight away with out even a courtesy message back. I read people's profiles first and if they state they don't like winks then I will message on that occasion if they have really taken my fancy x

We often wink as a sign of interest.

Less formal than a direct message and just shows that we like them.

Strange really as we’d never wink in real life.

If we wink you, it’s because we could see ourselves meeting you.

We primarily use winks as 1st contact, if we wink we are interested, if you wink back we will send an opening message with face pics.

Peoples inboxes get overloaded, not using the wink system is in our opinion a big miss, yea ok some of you just delete them and so 1st contact may never be made, but we are winkers for sure.
