Author	Thread: multiple choice question about winks
Admin	multiple choice question about winks Posted : 24 Aug, 2010 06:18 PM Here's the scenario: You happen upon a woman's profile. The first sentence in her About Me section is, "Well, since I'm currently *attached* I won't go on and on about what kind of man I want or what type of wife I intend to be..." Then, you send her a wink. Why did you just wink at her? A. I didn't read the profile and notice that she's unavailable. B. I did read the profile but see nothing wrong w/ flirting w/ someone who's attached. C. I did read the profile but just want to be friends and thought that my wink would indicate that I only want friendship. D. Other. Please explain further if you select this one =) Post Reply

View Profile History	multiple choice question about winks Posted : 24 Aug, 2010 08:26 PM It's happened to me 4 times just this week already! Maybe I should just message the guys and ask them what they mean by winking at me... It's kinda a curious thing... Post Reply
Koinonia87 View Profile History	multiple choice question about winks Posted : 24 Aug, 2010 08:33 PM C would be my reason for contact with the understanding that she's just looking for a talk/email buddy. If she's willing it's always fun to trade ideas, experiences, stories, etc. I guess some might get in touch hoping things could advance due a change of mind or turn of events as the friendship grows (Is that B?). I would really hope that's not the case given a clear statement like the one above. As for the wink itself, I usually don't read anything more into them than "I'm interested." Personally I only use it if I am doubtful that a user is still active or if I have some other reason not to expect a reply. It says, "In case you get this and feel inclined..." Haven't sent many but that's a separate topic that's been discussed in copious amounts. Post Reply

View Profile History	multiple choice question about winks Posted : 24 Aug, 2010 09:38 PM So, I have an A, B, and C... LOL @Tulip- No, not *technically* homewrecking, but I AM trying to be a good pixy and not engage in excessive conversation with guys other than the BF. And when a guy winks, I don't want to respond and initiate a conversation when maybe he's trying to flirt... Not that I really respond to winks much anyway... Post Reply

View Profile History	multiple choice question about winks Posted : 25 Aug, 2010 03:51 AM None of the above. I think winks are stupid so I don't use them attatched or not. 1 thing they could possibly be thinking is 'hey, a guys gotta try'. I could see that. Just a try, but not really serious. Post Reply
Streamylc View Profile History	multiple choice question about winks Posted : 26 Aug, 2010 04:08 PM D. This is the ONLY technical complaint I have with this site. WInk says "flirting" to me... I never use it, only have a couple times in the chat room goofing around. I smoke ( I know, I know) and would use the wink to let a girl know "hey, your beautiful!" because I cannot message anyone that I don't meet requirements with, so it'd be nice to send a wink because I couldn't talk to them any other way, BUT I can't. I'd say it's just easier to send a message to a girl (not too hard right?) :-P... Haha you rock tulip man! I'd say thats not home wrecking ;-P Post Reply
SilverFire View Profile History	multiple choice question about winks Posted : 29 Aug, 2010 09:29 AM I think most guys fall into camp 'A', but those who don't fall into camp 'B' -- "a guy's gotta try". Me? I wouldn't have sent the wink b/c a wink indicates interest and the profile says "taken". Post Reply
