Is a wink a bad thing???

I like to wink as an initial show of interest. The recipient(s) can then respond if interested and we can go on from there, or not. X

Please advise...

It can work if used selectively. I did get a meet which started with a wink

Some people like them, others take no notice and prefer a message. I think if you're going to wink rather than message then your profile has to be bang on in detail with good photos to grab someone's attention enough to respond.

Good points guys, and noted. As a single bloke to do a full on individual message for the recipient to not like your haircut is a bit gutting, hence the wink?

Winks work for me. I can decide if I want to send an introductory message. I also send winks...time is of a premium and I like to send well written messages to someone who I know has some interest.

I would only ever respond to a message but that's just me. Others are different. I think it's up to you to read profiles and decide if a wink might work

We like winks kinds of a polite way to see if people are interested it works better when you have face pics but we dont have them so cant say much

Personally I prefer a message and generally ignore winks.

They tend to be from people who don't match what I like.

But occasionally they get me winking back

Why not an initial wink? Yes or no? Job done. Don't get me wrong, this ain't no tinder.

I like getting them, and probably get as many as do msgs from women ( more both low numbers than suggesting I get loads!)

I also use them and put on my profile why I wink some people and msg others. Generally though I more luck when I get one than when I wink

That's right, and if you get a wink back then it's normal face pics and a proper message and we go from there. Is that a bad thing? X

If the wink is used properly then it is a good start to a possible meeting, however there are a lot of jokers on here

Message it is. If anyone winks me in the future then I'll have there guts for garters (in a nice way).

Now there is a new thread, guts for garters? X

By responding when the winked sends you a message, rather than just deleting or blocking them.

They work well.

20% of my winks turn into messages so one of my guilty pleasures is to wink 200 on a friday to secure a meet

Winks are fine.....and can lead to the most unexpected of things. See part 1 of a story i wrote called 'where a wink can lead....' in stories and forums. Was 14 months ago and still having fun....so i do like winks ....

Why don't you write something on your profile that you use the wink system ?

I dont mind winks and occasionally send them. But is it right to respond to a wink with a wink?

The other thing. When we receive a wink and message back sometimes we don't get a return message. I always wonder what the point of the initial wink was!

In the very early and befuddling days of my time on Planet Fab I got a wink from an astonishingly divine looking gent. I assumed he'd winked in error, but was a tiny bit tipsy so winked back (well you never know, a gorgeous Adonis might like slightly batty history geeks!).

He hadn't winked in error.

He's now my number one wing man.

I'm still not quite sure how the hell I managed it as I'm not so much out of his league as possibly out of his entire galaxy. But I'm happy to get all that I can before he comes to his senses!!

Hence. I love a well placed wink.

I never look at my winks, I'd never even see it let alone reply to it.

Easter just around the corner!

I understand why men wink,but if you really really like the look of someone it's best to message. I don't suppose many women take an awful lot of notice of winks when they have messages to go through.

A wink isn't a bad thing if you've read a profile and think you are a match.

Not a good thing when a wink sent from a non match trying his chances

Hull but travel regularly

It's worth reading a profile to see if the person you're winking likes them. Mine says I ignore them but if someone doesn't read that they may think I'm not interested when in reality i have no idea of their interest.

If you're really interested in someone then drop them a nice message
