Ok, so, you get a wink and you take a look at the profile. So far so good. Upon reading the text, you notice that the person/people note that they don't want winks, that messages are all they respond to.
At this point, what do you think? If someone doesn't take winks seriously, but winks you, does it mean you aren't worth a message? Are they just being hypocritical? Or does it not seem strange at all? I'm just wondering what people's thoughts on this generally are?

"I've got a busy life, a wink saves time.. I wink, if I get a wink back I write a nice message "
Which is exactly what the wink system was introduced in the first place for I'm guessing.
In a perfect world where everybody understood that then winking would have real value, sadly the reality is that it's a lottery whether you'll find a wink lover or hater using that approach as many people do use it as a filter  |

. Hi Courtney, Mrs blue eyes here, we are also finding this at the moment, it's really quite strange, we are getting regular winks and when we read the profile it usually says' winks will be ignored' or we are not meeting so don't wink or message, so in which case why are they winking us? I did wonder if it may be easy to accidentally wink but you are asked if you definately want to send the wink  So it can't be that, sorry not really helpful into why it's happening, just that your not alone  we have a saying in England that I'm not sure if your familiar with, it may be quite fitting in this situation, we would say when we don't quite get why people do things ' well, there is nowt so queer as folk' and to be honest there isn't!

A nudge is as good as a wink to a blind ol bat..know what I mean...
Winks are Ok, they serve.a purpose.
sometimes is can be hard to know what to put in that initial mail message, its a chance to break the ice.
The instance the op quotes sounds like a case of do as I say, not as I do. |

Yeah, it's been happening a lot over the past 2 weeks, which is why I ask.
I dont care about winks, I don't tap offense or anything, it's just weird to me when people say that winks for people too lazy to message and then they wink |

Maybe you're just overthinking the wink. The winker. Even though receiving a lot of winks and messages herself may be shy in making the approach or its just a wink of approval.
Unsolicited winks if we like them often gets a nice thank you reply to see if there was any mileage in it and naturally a returning wink in the process.
Winky-wink. |

I've seen plenty of profiles that say don't do this, don't do that, don't do something else.
Then when you look at the profile they don't do any of those things themselves.
I don't see it as hypocritical, just a that they've not thought it through. |

If your profile stated you don't look at winks etc like theirs states then I'd think what a winker...
I guess theyre testing the water with a wink ,it certainly seems double standards .. how you respond ..message .. you can't wink ..puts the onus on you ..hmmm. , I don't send winks , I'm happy to receive them.. I've always thought if a profile interests me enough to initiate contact the investment in time to write a message was worthwhile..
