Winks? Cheezy, though to the point?
Posted : 11 Oct, 2011 01:28 PM

I ask this question because, personally I think a "wink" can be efficient/useful, it lets the person know that I'd be interested in talking with them, without wasting my time writing a personalized "catchy" note that won't get responded back(if they aren't interested to begin with, which I could understand and would respect, it's hard to answer back to everyone if you get a lot of messages).



So with winks, you just click it to let them know...but nothing more, if there is no message/response back, then you know that's that.



I also ask because I'm assuming/afraid that most women would disregard/ignore winks altogether automatically thinking it's cheezy or that the "winker" will imply too much interest(for me it's opposite, I "wink" to lightly let them know, but I'm not attached to it...whereas a note I feel bad since I made the effort to write something, when it wouldn't have mattered to begin with).



What do you all think about Winks? (speaking of the button to notify the user, not a real wink in public, lol)

I suppose if you are not looking for a relationship then a wink is not in your interest.



Responding to winks is always perhaps awkward, if you thank them, a person may take it as a lead on, while others may take it as a subtle rejection. Clear communication being key and concise.

I don't think winking is too forward coming from a woman. For me it usually happens after I've looked at her profile and she's looked at mine. I read it as "OK, you've seen me and I've seen you and I'm interested". It lets me know that if I write to her, I'll probably get a response.



One thing that bugs me a bit is that I specifically state in my profile that I don't consider myself compatible with certain denominations because of doctrinal differences, but women of those denominations send me winks anyway! I usually try to be a gentleman and write to them telling them why I'm not interested, but sometimes I get annoyed and just delete the wink.



Personally, I don't wink at women. I did once when a woman winked at me first, but except for that once, I write messages.
