Winking. Yes or no?

The winks on here, does anyone pay attention to them?

Are they a good idea just to show you like what you see and read or is a straight message better?

Thoughts??

At the moment, I’m using the winks section as almost like an answering service, as all my filters are on, which means if somebody winks at me, I can check them out & get back to them if I wish

We look. Can be a great icebreaker.

Can get a bit frustrating with profiles who wink wildly and regularly and don’t take the hint.

Winking in moderation is appreciated Mrs SW

It's the only time I can wink because I've never been any good at it IRL. I don't wink if their profile says not to though and I check mine each time I log on.

My first meet started with a wink so I’m all for them. However, reading profiles helps as a lot of people state they either don’t want to receive winks or they don’t bother looking at them so no point. Other profiles encourage you to wink if interested. Overall, I’m a fan of winks

I do send them out to get a feel if there’s any interested from said profile… if I receive one i’ll wink back & follow up with a message if they don’t message first

Don’t understand those who send them first then ignore the follow up message though 🤷🏾‍♂️

This, I often wink and fab a few, then if the attraction is mutual I'm happy to receive the same back and start chatting from there. Its a way to subtly show interest without coming across pushy like I assume half their messages are 😅

We use winks to show we are interested in a profile. If we get one back we will then send a message, if we return a wink we then expect the profile to send the first message however seems many people stop at the wink part.

Maybe target 🎯 your winks rather than just winking people 300miles away.

Might work wonders.

I really do not like winks. If you reply with a wink, it goes no further. If you reply with a message, that message stays unread. It would be great if we had the option to turn off winks.

We like winks

If we send one, it's an ice breaker to say hi and we like your profile - if wink is returned then we'll message

Same rule for winks received - we'll return the wink of we like profile and normally follow up with a message x

I like winks. Casual way of saying 'I just popped by to say that I think you look hot...'

Don't really understand what people have against them. Good way of nodding interest - exchange winks, sign you're up for a chat. Saves time all round!
