Ok, I don't really mind getting winks but if the wink says that you like my profile and to have a look at yours, please at least have something interesting in there.
Would it really kill people to spend a couple of minutes to fill in their age, height, location and likes?
Not looking for an essay either, just a few lines about what turns you on.
I respond to interesting profiles, not always to say yes, but at least to try and turn down gracefully.
OK, got that of my chest now lol

It's not that I mind the winks, just find it strange being directed to look at an almost non-existant profile
I know what you mean. Hey liked your profile why don't you drop by and check mine out.
So OK you do and its completely blank and full of question marks with no pictures at all.
I mean who do they think is going to be interested in that?
We had one the other day which was exactly the same so we sent back a message (to be polite) telling them that sorry but we weren't interested. Big mistake! That was it he was like a dog on heat after sending him our third message which at this point said "Take the hint" he messaged us back calling us a "Wanker" lol. Well i say he, it said couple on the profile but with a response like that i imagine it was the testosterone driven half. All this person could go on about was web cam webcam.
No thank you.
Oh good, so it's not just me that finds this irritating...
So i wonder why people do send loads of winks. Any winkers out there want to tell their side of the story?
Don't send them becaus i've read enough to know they were a menace early on. Don't get any either, but if i ever do i think you can turn em off.
Winks do annoy me! I don't get them anymore and they get an auto response. Have still had people send me mail, though, that basically just says the same as a wink, or just says, 'I'm not far from you, fancy meeting up?' That annoys me anyway, but when there's then absolutely nothing in their profile it does make it even worse!
being a new user of the site i just assumed that the wink was the polite but slightly cowardly way of making contact. just goes to show everyone has different feelings! so haveing read all your comments i/we will try and think of a few new lines lol Jo x
We sent a few winks during our first few days on S H. We just saw it as a way to introduce ourselves to a number of people, a kind of ice breaker we thought.
Now we realize just how unpopular they seem to be with so many people, it seems we might have been creating ice rather than breaking it. lol
Apologies to anyone we might have annoyed in this way, even though we do have a reasonably full profile.
The only thing that bothered us particularly was the number of single males chancing their arm, when we plainly arn't looking for them. Now we have chosen the option not to receive mail from them. However, looking back over some of the profiles that we responded to, we have made a few similar mistakes. We're all human I guess!
I use to be a winker, but Im alright now
I have just joined the site and I think winks are okay as a means of establishing quick contact with someone you are interested in. I agree that it is pointless if you have little or nothing in your profile to say something about yourself, but if you do and the winkee (i.e the person receiving the wink) likes the profile of the winker, then it could be the start of something interesting so why not just enjoy it for what it is meant to be.
