I don't think they need to or should acknowledge them if they don't want to.

They'll have their own reasons for not liking them

I’ve corrected that for you.

I’ve met a few wonderful ladies that started from a wink.

They are completely pointless. If you like a profile, just send a message. Simples.

We tend to use winks more for couples as its a good way of seeing if there is an attraction there between everyone

We look at winks and wink back if interested. More often than not we receive no further interaction

Some people get loads and don't bother looking.

Some see it as lazy and would rather get a message.

Others aren't arsed.

Personally I like a wink but have found when we rarely wink back there's never any follow up so it's kinda put me off them.

I actually like sending and receiving winks, it shows to the person receiving them that you are interested. If I get one back then I follow it up with a message.

I don't quite understand why some people dislike them, I've even heard some people say it shows. Laziness on the person sending the wink . I absolutely disagree with that statement, I like most people on here , don't spend my life in fabs, I have a job and a life to lead . If I was to send a message to everyone I'd winked at Id never be off here

I should imagine that they get quite a few and unless the person winking them is of interest, tend to go ignored.

I love a good wink, especially a posh one.

My notification says over 3000 new winks currently.

I'm not going to trawl through all of them to see if there's someone I find interesting. Especially if they didn't find me interesting enough for more than a quick button click to get my attention. Seems like a waste of everyone's time to me, but I'm sure they're fine for people who do appreciate them.

To be fair to you, and if I may reply to your comment, whats the difference ?.at least with a wink your not having to read every message

... The question was why do women not like or respond to winks. What does the endless onslaught of pointless messages from unwanted noodles have to do with it?

I dont think winks are there to specifically be acknowledged, hense the name!

I get so many winks on FG after uploading sometimes I rarely even look tbh, some women prob are the same here, they might not even see them.

I start off by sending a wink just to show interest on the odd occasion I get a wink back I'll messege them winking isn't lazy or pointless it's a good way to show interest in others sadly it's been viewed negatively and so hardly people reply to them

I understand that, it's everyone's personal choice, I use the wink to show interest, I have pics I just choose to keep them. Private unless asked

Seams to me that some people get all annsy over a harmless wink. If you don't care for them , then just ignore then .

I find it amazing. There are more thing to worry about then some harmless wink

I'll send a wink to a low effort profile if I think there is some potential there but not enough info to start a conversation. It's served me well.

I've had excellent chats and a few meets initiated from winks received

I’m happy to receive winks but I’ll only respond to the ones of a profile that looks interesting to me. The same as messages

I usually message as I know winks are hit and miss for a lot of people.

I tend to wink if I don't think I'm necessarily what the other person is looking for but I'll throw out a lifeline just in case.

For me, it's always nice to receive winks. Sometimes I'll respond, sometimes I won't.

Most women read profiles. If they don't find you in any way appealing, what response would be acceptable to you?

"what's the deal with women not liking winks or acknowledging them???

Single women usually get a lot of messages, as well as a ton of unsolicited f/r's and winks. How are we meant to find the time to reply to messages when we are meant to acknowledge winks?!

I get hundreds when I am online. Messages get priority!

Mainly because most of the ones I get on my single profile are from men who are not what I'm after.

Ie miles away,smokers or have no pics ,so why should I respond.

I actually state on my profile that I don't respond to winks, so if they wink, I know they haven't bothered to read it. That's double lazy.

Some people think winks are a lazy method of starting a conversation.

I rather think of them as the equivalent to a smile across a room.

Cheeky wink oh hello type of wink

But each to their own.

I do think it would be handy to be able to turn winks off on a profile, for those who don't like or use them though.
