Winks are a weird one. They tend to mean something different to different people.
I generally use them as a quick interested indication as expected before a first message.
I know of a few others use them to just to say nice profile but no interest beyond that. |

Doesnt really bother me. Its happened alot and am just curious to why they do it.
Winks can be accidental, but repetettive winks?
Its worse after many messages and then, poof theyre gone!

"I never look at winks. I should start looking. Why do most people use them then? Instead of a message? Too shy to message? Hoping the other person will message first?"
Ignore that I’ve done a thread. I’m intrigued  |

As most people are not mutually compatible with most other people and there is a lot of choice here, it means there's a big filtering job underway.
People don't have certainty about compatibility until they have engaged of course. Part of compatibility will also be about life circumstances and availability. When things crop up, such as work and family stuff, this can prevent us being right for others there and then. Others may match, due to having accommodation, free at the right time too.
When a message is sent, it also gives more information allowing assessment. You may fail to match then.
It's complex. But having realistic expectations is essential here, especially for single men |

Sometimes you like a profile but there is not enough information on to show what they are looking for, or if they are compatible. I find sending a wink instead of a message handy in these incidents. |
