Winks, little rant
Jump to: Newest in thread
Why do people wink, straight guys are you asking for an invite to a GB I'm hosting. Bi Guys do you want to to meet me for some bi fun. TVs at least I can usually figure out and decide whether I'm interested, same with couples. So many I just think why, (usually reply that too). |

I just winked at you. For no reason at all.  |

"Hate winks I think they are pointless, if you cant be arsed to type a message then I would hate to see how lazy you are in the bedroom  "
That's pretty much my standpoint on wanks, ... sorry, winks.
How long does it really take to tap out a two or three line message - even if it's just to say (like I do often) 'Not looking to meet, but just wanted to compliment you on your pics/profile' and then add something specific to show I HAVE read the profile.
Not difficult, is it? Well? Is it..?
A winked-out ted. |

Isnt a wink just to show interest?
I receive quite lengthy messages obviously well thought out, but I don't find the guy attractive. Therefore he has wasted his time and effort. With a wink, I simply wink back if I like them. Saves time. I don't see it as lazy, just a quick judge as to whether you like each other.
Just ignore the feature if you don't use it. I personnally love it. |

Who knows? As far as I know, it isn't in black and white anywhere on here what a wink is for? Just find it the height of laziness.

"You can just ignore the ones of no interest?
My general rule is to ignore people who can't string a sentence together."
Maybe its a subtle way of getting your attention, without hassling you too much, hoping you may respond. Each to their own but its certainly not one of life's great vexations to receive one in my opinion. |

It's a service that Fab offers, some will choose to use it, others will choose not to.
I find it can be handy, if you're winked and like the look of the wink sender then wink back, then they can initiate conversation.
If you choose to not use, then simply ignore. |

"Just looked, it says on my profile 'Please DON'T wink, I don't know what it means, mail me if you want to contact me with a message'. Can I be clearer? "
So ignore, why let it concern you enough to rant on a forum? Ignore! |

If you don't like them ignore them its not as if you even have to look at them
I prefer them to messages sometimes,shows a little interest I can follow up on if I want to,without having an inbox of messages that people have taken the time to write and im likely not going to be able to respond to  |

I like a nice wink, I see it as an opener. If I like look will either wink back or send a message. It's very easy just to completely ignore them if not your thing.  |

Although if you ever get one, it's good manners to thank the person and say how cool they are and everything. |

Winks are ideal for if you visit a profile and you're not sure if you're quite what they seek, say one year out of their age range.
You wink, they see it, if they like they wink back offering you the chance to step up with a message.
That way there's less messages deleted, less unwanted messages.
It's worked for me, both me winking first and being the receiver of the wink.
I managed to ignore the ones that held no interest. |

Why send a well thought out message only to have it deleted out of hand or kept 'on file' with no response for days when a wink works just as well. Well, it has for me! |

I see them as a mutual compliment with the unspoken understanding that if the opportunity arose the participants would shag each other senseless.
Not the ones ive sent to the guys though so shagalooney sleep well mate ha ha! |

I usually wink because i know that individual is going to be inundated with messages. And my profile is not exactly short..so, i just hope they take a quick look at my profile and pics.
..i do have to say, this approach hasnt worked lol. Im still awaiting a meet..

"Should have kept my gob shut, now getting lots of winks. Also got a mail from some I don't know saying 'fuck off knob head, seems a bit of an extreme reaction to my comment on winks? "
You're perfectly entitled to an opinion and shouldn't get abuse. This is a debating forum after all. |

To be honest we don't take any notice of winks from single guys, sorry just too many! Winks from couples n single gals will get checked though. Sorry but with so many of you out there messaging single guys need to send a good message with a face pic to get a response. Sounds harsh but have found you have to be a little hard on here lol x |

"I never message winkers if I like the profile I wink back and leave it up to them.
"
Exactly my strategy. Also a couple of times I've sent a detailed well thought out message to people who've winked ...only for it to be deleted lol
However, I do think winks have their place on here ...just don't expect a marriage proposal to accompany them |

The same thing happened to me if someone can't be bothered to send me a message I won't bother. |

I like winks, it gives you the chance to read their profile, look at their pics and decide if you want to chat with them, or block them......It's certainly better than the "I want to fuck your pussy" that I have just received!!! This approach doesn't do it for me...  |

and for some of us with a nervous disposition, I have actually for the first time since being here, been sending guys messages after doing so, if there was no winks option, I probably wouldn't initiate first contact so no laziness by no means |

"We thought winks were irritating until we started to get one line messages saying fancy a fuck, or can I fuck Bev so maybe winks are not so bad."
Hmmmm.... yeah. Got a point.... Think I might be giving up my status as the uber-Nazi of Grammar and Winking on Fabs...
