I do check my winks but only go to the profile if the status, pic and location are of interest. Then there needs to be some compatible substance to the bio and a nice couple of pics and I'll wink back or say hi.

Well, fair enough, but worth checking when you're on going forward? You never know who might take your eye?

I received a wink a little while ago from a couples profile when I read the profile after seeing the wink I noticed it said in their description we don't take notice of stupid winks

I think winks are great as ice breakers and can be a nice way to say hello if you’re trying to catch someone’s eye.

We use winks as a filter. They show how many people haven't taken the time to read our profile. Surprising how many don't.

I’ve taken note of this thread and perhaps I’ll be a bit more accommodating towards winkers from now on!

Even more bizarre when you receive them from profiles which are your type and wink back or message and no follow up happens

Pretty pointless

Rarely look at my winks or send , unless I'm in a forum game. I would rather have a nice message.

Or you message them and nothing back. Maybe the wink was an accident??

Because some people on here see it as lazy, they expect you to write an essay and have great pleasure in then ignoring you and if you’re really lucky, blocking you.

I think it’s a great way to show you’re interested. Then the message exchange can begin. Simple!

No that’s unlikely as it’s quite common

Just can’t see the point, messaging is more direct if interested you will get a message back

Because men just wink every woman profile within 200 miles desperate for one to wink back. Zero effort and they don't read profiles.

I am a big fan of the wink system. I know it’s not for everyone but for me it’s simply an initial interaction and a sign that I am interested in someone. No wink back then it saves me having to fill their inbox with yet an other message which more than likely will get lost with all the other hundreds of messages women/couples gets. Of course I will put an appropriate amount of effort in my message so a wink is def not a sign of laziness

yes indeed. I had one the other day wink at me I check the profile and winked back plus sent a nice message to them only to receive one back saying "sorry not my type"

Why the heck wink at me in the first place?

I very rarely check them and only send one if it is requested in the profile. I prefer to send a message, I know you don't always get a reply but suspect there is a bigger chance than by a wink alone. Happy fabbing everyone

My thinking on the wink system is that whoever sends the wink is then responsible for sending the first message if they get winked back.

I've had numerous winks from women and couples where I have responded with a wink and never heard from them again.

That tells me they expected me to message rather than wink which will never happen.

To be honest, whenever we've had a wink from couples and we think we would be interested in taking things further, it seems to go the ether or their profile goes hidden. Not sure what's it all about.

I like to use it and like to think of it as a smile across a crowded room. It has led to meets for me so think it’s great

I like the wink system, it shows interest and you can always wink or message if you like what you see.

Always happy with getting a wink, it shows interest and we enjoy sending them out too

Just think a wink is a bit of a cop out and does anyone actually check them out? Message bit more personal, but the problem is not always read and just discarded

A wink is cool especially if your single
