"Hey good people of Fab!
Quick question for you; Can anyone explain to me the reasons why they choose to 'wink' at people on Fab instead of message?"
Sure, it's to do with laziness |

Because I personally think it’s easier than spending time composing a well thought out message only to be rejected. I have spent time and effort on my profile, shown that I am interested in theirs. If they like the look of my profile, they can wink back and then I can message.
Or maybe I am just lazy   |

It used to be as a way of expressing interest without having to write a message..
No response generally means the recipient isn't interested...
But now ppl wink then message anyway so i have to ignore them on purpose  |

Ah okay, thanks for responding everyone.
I can totally see where you are coming from with regards to the expediancy of sending a wink over an initial message.
You might use the wink feature to gauge whether someone has a shared interest in you by seeing if you receive a wink back.
No wink returned = no message sent.
Must admit I have sent a message WITH a wink if I think I match whatever criteria a couple for instance might be looking for in that particular moment.
Confusing thing I have noticed recently is a few times when someone winks me, I wink back but then radio silence...
I wouldn't consider the onus to be on me to then message if I didn't send the firsr wink... or is it? HA! |

We send winks, for us it’s less to do with laziness and more to do with the 18-99 age range many have & our own age disparity.
Send messages only to get back “Too old, whatever” So a quick wink, we’ll either get one back or we won’t & just occasionally a message.

We like a wink.
If we receive a wink back we will message.
If we receive a wink and we like, we wink back.
Like so many it’s hard to send that first message, it’s sometimes easier to refer to the wink when sending a message |

A lot of people don't like them or check them.
But I think of them like your eyes meeting in a bar, you like the look of each other, but you haven't talked yet. Then message to see if you actually get on, which is the going over and starting a chat in the bar. |
