Winking on dating sites (70)

On other dating sites where the options are to send a wink or an email (I don't mean this site because there are lots of wink options here), I've read so many comments from women moaning about receiving winks. On another of the free sites, many women put in their profile comments such as, "Winks get you automatically disqualified". Well HOW DARE they be that way! Why aren't they grateful and flattered that anyone would want to wink at them in the first place? What makes them so special that they can poo poo any guy who winks at them, as if they aren't worth anything?

What I often do is go through a load of people I like the look of, and send winks. The reason I do that is because then they know I'm interested, so can either wink back or write properly. If I was to write messages to everyone I was interested in, it would take hours, and then I'd be likely to receive zero responses, not even a 'no thanks' (yes I know that from experience, I'm not just assuming!).

Well that's my moan over with. It just bugs me that's all, that SOME women on these sites think they are so much better than everyone else, and think that all guys owe them something and should struggle to even get a 'hello' out of them, as if they're more important.

I hope this doesn't make anyone too angry! I know that not all women are like it, I'm just moaning at ones who are.

i completely agree with you, it is nice to get winks and flowers etc and a polite thank you is all that is necessary in return, just manners if nothing else.if i was interested then i would send an email of thanks and a bit of encouragement

dont stop sending them though cos the ignorant few are not worth bothering with anyway and you may missout on someone really nice, afterall on this site it doesnt cost anything except a few mins of your time

Hi R.

Winks on this site are better though because there's a decent choice of what to send people, plus you can write your own small message too. So I think this site is different from most in that respect.

I wonder if it is just the ignorant few who don't like winks? I've seen it said many times before.

really? well i cant explain that, although i have added awarning to my profile that anyoffesive, abusive or "rude" messages will be posted on the forum named and shamed, but i cant see the harm in sending winks unless the message is one of the above.. oh well it takes all kinds i suppose

Ooops thought that said something else then.
