WINKING ON FAB

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

When you receive a wink from a profile is that actual person sending it or does the website generate random winks from one profile to another? Anyone know? I'm getting regular winks from the same people but no balls to actually talk properly

I got a mail thanking me for the wink, but I never send any. So the profile was either chancing their arm or there was a glitch.

I don't really like sending winks usually people don't respond.

I think you can only wink once a month. We find it a great way of testing the water to see if there's any interest before sending a message etc. Saves everyone's time really!

I agree, a form of appreciation!

I used to send winks but don't anymore since most people seem to not like/respond to them

I'd wink sometimes to test the waters, then if there's a wink back I'd send a message; if not, there's your answer

Can be a quick way to not waste anyone's time or show a little admiration

If you're not a fan best to never delete them, like friend requests.

Like the winks as well. As Lil Red says, it's good to test the water on here with them.

And if I'm ever winked at I'll always say thanks.

I'd imagine the website likes to get involved from time to time and send winks from my experience. Getting loads but no talkies. I might have to start blocking

I like receiving them. But I rarely, if ever send them. My thinking is that women receive so many messages anyway that a wink isn't really going to make me stand out of the crowd for them.

I just discovered if you delete the wink, then they can wink at you again. So don't bulk delete if you don't want to get more

I would like to thank rosebud, my colleague and Co-author, in this research. Without her work this would have been impossible

I'd never send a wink as I believe it comes across as lazy on the man's behalf but I do appreciate when I receive a wink. I just always see them as a compliment from a woman or couple though and not necessarily an invitation to start a chat.

I just assume if a woman or couple is interested in my profile they will at least say "hi".

Maybe I'm wrong and have missed a few opportunities to make contact.

Ah well.......

I like getting winks.

See it as a 'look at me' and so I do. And if I like I wink back.

Unlike friend requests without even chatting... That just pisses me off cos it's a cheeky 'let me see your pics'

We use it as a way to say we are interested, If we get a wink back we will send a mail, if not move on

personally I think it saves time for both parties.

I just hate that if the person has restrictions, winks are also blocked

Winks are strange. If someone interesting winks at us, we might wink back. But a message is so much better. We always message someone if we are interested in them.

More strange are the friend requests without an accompanying message.

There's a particular couple who keep winking at me and I'm happy to chat or meet but there's never any reply from them.

that's why I'm thinking the website generates a few winks from time to time... Anyway. Thanks for your comments guys

Not at all.

Some may like them, some may not; like any other aspect of the site. However, they offer people a different means to approach someone they like.

Just because someone isn't the best at writing a first message that doesn't necessarily mean they don't have anything interesting to say. So sending a wink for some is a way to test the waters, show an interest and be a possible ice breaker.

I don't agree that all winks are lazy, just whatever works for you

OK, I admit it! I'm a winker. Scratch that. I'm a big winker (change vowel as desired).

It's from years of similar sites doing the same thing, condition us to use a wink as a How are you? I winked at you. Check my profile and if you find it interesting, wink back or chat.

It's not derogatory, it's purely a Hey I like the look of your profile/pic and might be interested if you are interested in mine.

No drama.

No bullshit.

Just a wink!
