I don’t like or dislike them. I don’t ever check them. I only click on them when the number gets really big.

I don’t always notice them. I’ve seen myself view a profile and it says “they winked you 3 months ago” Then I overthink things and don’t message them as a result.

People just don’t understand what winks are for they aren’t just a way to say you’ve looked they are to show you like what you’ve seen and don’t want to send an unsolicited message if they won’t reply so wink and if they wink back start a conversation but here there seems to be a serious lack of knowledge of how to use them

Well I put a fair bit of time into that initial message so if I like someone but their profile doesn't quite tell enough information to know if you are at least similar to what they seek then winks are great, whether sending or receiving one prompts me to invest that time into an original message.

We go through phases where we won't even look at them. We prefer messages, obviously, but will occasionally look, and sometimes wink back. But like others have mentioned, the majority of those who we wink back never then message...

Not sure if I like them but I don't dislike them. I do look, mostly because it sets me off having the notifications on my homepage so I like to clear them

if I like the look of a profile, i.e. there is some information on there and it's of interest to me, I'll wink back. They need to make the next move though.

I think the response may vary greatly if it's single men or women and couples.

Single men on average receive much less unsolicited messages or winks so any that appear may come as a welcome surprise.

Women and couples (judging by my friends) can receive dozens if not hundreds of messages a day and dozens of winks. If this happened to me (I wish lol) I doubt i'd notice them after some time and wouldn't even bother to check. To much attention to process.

"What do you do when you get one? I like getting them and I usually send a message and a wink back, it is a good way to get a conversation going

That depends on what I think after reading the winkers profile, I pretty much only get winks from guys and if their profiles don't fill me with enthusiasm, they don't kiss, they are into BDSM or are just after a quick blow job then they don't get a response, I rarely respond to female winks as generally their profiles look dubious, as for couples with bi male, I'm still waiting. What is apparent is far too many people don't read profiles or do but chance their luck anyway.
