I do actually. Messages more often but I think winks are great they save time and messing around. Both parties wink you can establish an interest rather than unsolicited messages.

It says on our profile we don't look so don't reply to winks. Still the number of winks rise,just shows the people who are to lazy to read a profile. We have just deleted all the winks an hour ago but still they are starting to rise again

Yes I do.

I'll either wink back inviting a message or I'll message directly. Depending on a number of things mostly if they have put enough information on their profile allowing me send a proper message and if I have time to do so. Otherwise I wink back reducing the chance I forget to respond later and leave the wink ignored.

If not interested, I thank and state so.

If I get a wink I reply with the message " Thanks for your wink " I rarely get a message in reply . I long ago ceased wondering why she/they winked in the first place.Not worth investing any more time in someone who did not invest time by sending a message in the first place.

Exactly! I thought random message to stranger = weirdo stalker type, wink = hello I like you and I would like to chat. Turns out message to stranger = ok, wink = weirdo stalker type! Who knew

We like winks and we also wink at people , offcourse after reading the profiles . Making sure they don't have "No Asians" mentioned in their description.

The profile has to be well verified and genuine .

If we receive a wink then if we are interested then message them .

Firstly we don’t send them out

Secondly if we respond back wink we would then expect a message, this very rarely happens

Thirdly we get winks from people Miles away so absolutely pointless

Instead we prefer straight to the point messages and messaging! No messing about you want to fuck or not

Incredibly rarely. It's not necessarily that we don't fancy the people winking us. It's more we're not looking to arrange meets online with new people right now. Some people who wink us we totally would if we were looking or met them out or at a club. However when we like someone who winked us doesn't mean we've not taken note for the future.

We'll reply to winks from profiles we like, either with a message or a wink back (depends on the profile).

It's a good way of gauging interest both ways, and I wish it was used more.

No matter how lovely your message may be, if you don't tick our _oxes it's never going to happen and time is valuable!

Think we're the rare exception on here that appreciates a quiet inbox
