Winks?
Posted : 11 Sep, 2010 01:37 PM

I don't understand "winks." Sure I enjoy getting them I suppose, but I'd much rather read a personalized message. My question is: What am I supposed to do when I get "winked?" Do I "wink" back, send a message, what? I realize for you guys it probably is putting yourself out there, but to me it's a cop out from just sending me a message ...



Let me know if I'm overanalyzing ... I tend to do that at times ... :glow:

I suggest telling all this to the winkers themselves. Simply send a message that says something like:

"I just received your wink. What kind of response were you expecting? Why did you not send a message?"

And then, depending upon how they respond, you can go from there =)

Personally when I was searching I never responded to winks and I never sent them.

I always respond to every message or wink. Even if just to say "I don't think we are compatible." (Do onto others as you would have them do to you.) For the winks, I respond with something like, "Thank you for sending me a wink." If I am interested in the person, I will write a bit more. Otherwise, no. I've only gotten further response from one person..... and we are now dating.

I found a good use for them. I thik we men should use them when we dont know how long its been since a woman has been on this sight. No sence sowing seed in unfertle ground.

its really rude not to respond at all- and i dont want it done to me.

Wink back or send a short message. In real life guys smile at you, or send you a drink (in a bar setting) -- that is to say, they let you know that they're interested before they start talking.

I agree with the other posts that a response to a wink is just good manners. I recently sent a reply to a wink I received with a thanks for the wink, but we are not a good match. I got a sarcastic email in return. Oh well, so much for good manners.

If it were me, I would rather get a short thanks but no thanks email to an unwanted wink.
