"they are lazy..." After 10 years in Fab, I can count the number of first messages from single ladies AND couples on one hand. Winks, on the other hand (see what I did there? ), have started many a conversation, and resulted in many great shared times | |||

"I bulk delete winks. I prefer a message. I also bulk delete friend invites from guys who don't bother messaging either. " I leave mine there cause it stops them from sending another for at least 30 days lol | |||

"Using them with a Msg is prob the best way to use a wink or when seeing an old friend you haven't spoke to for a while on here." So effectively your day the wink is pointless if you're going to message them anyway | |||

"Pointless. I can count the number of times that I have responded to a wink on one thumb!" Okay. Why? | |||
Reply privately | Reply in forum | Reply +quote |
"they are lazy..." That may be true but it is very annoying having taken the trouble to write a message that just gets deleted. So I thought doing a lazy "wink" could be a way of contact, if the person does not respond then fair enough nothing lost. Maybe it just doesn't work how it was possibly intended | |||
Reply privately | Reply in forum | Reply +quote |
"they are lazy..." So the website designers/owners installed a ‘lazy’ option? … interesting. | |||

"We love a wink - there’s either mutual appreciation in which a message gets sent or not. When you’re dealing with hundreds of messages it’s a super quick way to respond. " I love reading this type of positive thinking. #thinkpositive. | |||

"Pointless. I can count the number of times that I have responded to a wink on one thumb! Okay. Why? " I like a guy to put some effort in. Hitting a wink button takes even less thought than messaging 'hi/wwu2/faf' | |||

"Pointless. I can count the number of times that I have responded to a wink on one thumb! Okay. Why? I like a guy to put some effort in. Hitting a wink button takes even less thought than messaging 'hi/wwu2/faf' " So what would you personally do (and I can generise what most do) when you have many, possibly hundreds of messages and each and everyone has put some sort of effort into a message? Several paragraphs maybe. And each one includes a photo and your not interested. You understand where I’m leading here. I think the wink button has a hard time, i think it was supposed to be an icebreaker but it’s got a reputation along the way as lazininess. Users will use a website as they think fits I suppose. *had to add who I was replying to. | |||

Users will use a website as they think fits I suppose. *had to add who I was replying to. " I absolutely get where you are coming from Woody. I know what the wink is intended for and I feel crap about the genuine guys who have taken the time to ready my (long) profile and send an articulate and original message but are buried in the 1200 unread messages. Even if I'm not interested, they are worthy of a polite 'thanks for taking the time to message but it's a no thanks' reply. Trying to sort the wheat from the chaff in my messages AND checking out who has winked at me just isn't an option. Maybe it's time I turn my usual approach on its head and block messages from single guys but encourage winks and go Bumble style. | |||

"they are lazy..." They are not lazy it’s just the bar has been raised for men to make more effort. Women send winks to let you know they are potentially interested and require a full application from you | |||

"Winks are a great ice breaker and an indication they are interested. If I get a wink back I’ll be more inclined to send a message and take it from there. I rarely send first messages as they just get lost. So the wink & wink back gives me some hope they’d reply if I sent the first message." That’s how they should be used yes. But I think women get so many messages they don’t check winks. Maybe it would he better if you had to wink and wink back before you could message someone , that’s how other apps work you can’t just spam anyone | |||

"I like winks as a way of showing initial interest. And I send them as well if I'm potentionally interested in someone " Yes, our philosophy too | |||

"I'd say they're more useful for women than men due to the dynamics of fab. We receive far less attention on average and are more likely to check / notice them." Yep, pretty much this. Even if they don't message, it's better they wink as at least it shows some sort of interest | |||

"What’s the point of composing a message using the context of their profile if it only gets deleted. Id sooner use the wink process and of I get one back start chatting. " This. I like them personally. The initial message just comes down to ‘I’m interested, want to chat’, and a wink does that more quickly. I like receiving them too. | |||

Though I try (normally fail) to add something clever, the first message is generally just an amalgam of my profile and what, from their profile, I think they want. I really ought to use my time more efficiently. | |||
