What should a man do with winks on BC?

Ladies, you know, men need simple instructions. I do realize, when I get a wink from someone half my age from another continent, it "could be" a scam. Even though they make me smile for silly reasons, discount the scammers in your poll response.

MEN - you answer with what you think the women are "saying" when they send a BC wink.

By the way, I would prefer an email to a wink because I DON'T KNOW what a BC wink means.

DISCLAIMER - this is not in response to any wink in particular - its just for FUN and curiosity!
I like your profile but have no clue what to say in an email. :?
Oops, I didn't mean to send that wink.:">
I wink at everybody, don't think anything about it. :D
Its nothing more than saying "Hello" :-h
I've seen the picture on your profile - nobody is winking at YOU!!! This is a sympathy wink =))
It's just my way of making you curious! >:)
None of the above...

COULD ALSO MEAN THAT THEY ARE SHY. I GOT A WINK ON HERE FROM A NICE MAN WHO LIVES IN MY AREA. THEN I EMAILED HIM BACK. SOME PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF REJECTION AND SO IGNORING A WINK IS EASIER ON THE EGO THAT IGNORING SOMEONES HEART FELT LETTER!

I can never send an email unless the email came to me first.

Because I am not a paying member, I can not wink back or doing anything but put you in my favorites and hope you notice and get back to me.

It's frustrating actually but I have been on here for 1-1/2 years and paid in the very beginning and let that expire and haven't paid since.

I figured if God wants "the one" to get to me, He'll send him to me.

Oh, just go ahead and wink back. Live dangerously, take a chance.

You never know!! Right?!

Good luck and let us know.

Well, I've learned a little more about how BC works with your response! I have "lived on the edge" and winked back a few times...but, that's it...we bat eyes and move on...

Now, I just don't wink back anymore thinking there's nothing significant about the wink anyway.

Anyhow, just wanted a humorous look into what others thought the purpose of the BC wink might be...

Yes, you can email by using your points. Once someone emails you then you can email them back on that email till the cows come home. (Lol Albertian farmer here)

It's from a scammer or a coward. I delete them. Okay, call me mean, go ahead, but don't wink at me because I will delete you!

I have only sent one wink and it was a return wink to someone who captured my interest. I tend to ignore them for the most part. As was said before, most are either scammers or someone living in China Rica.

You have deflated my ego, I thought the young girls from China Rinca actually were interested in me...

Jesery Girl,

You can send winks as a non-paying member....when viewing someone from the search/browse menu....you'll see (to the right of their photo) where you can send a wink.

Now for...what a man should do when he receives a wink
....if he thinks he may be interested he should send an email...and attach his profile. I send winks to say hello....as standard members do not have the opportunity to view profiles...I am saying hello...that's it.....and respond if you like.
.
Would prefer to send an email....but can't...so it's just a very casual way of initiating correspondence.

Seems like there should be BC 101 as the interpretation of what can and cannot be done varies from member to member?

I cant wink, it sends me to that upgrade menu. It doesn't work for me. ok I'm going to try it out. Get ready Kentucky dad. Here goes. Let me try this experiment.

Yes, I agree, if the man is interested, he should send an email so I can answer back.

It's weird but then again, BC gets weird every now and again, as we all know. Sometimes lets me see the profile, sometimes not able to.

Ok, let me get to my scientific experiement.

Hey - an email is better than a wink any day! But it appears to be even more confusing what standard members can and cannot do... Expirement anytime you like

Ok, I'm back. I couldn't send a wink, but I can send an email.

I also could invite you to my friends network.

So sorry, thought you were already there. So now you can come visit my blogs because mine is private only to friends.

I hope you accept friendship.

Scientific mission accomplished.

Blessings,
Ginny

Winks = You caught my attention
(If you winked at me, now I hope you write back!!!!!)

') a wink from me means-
"I would like to get to know you."

If you live quite a distance-
(Mid West and South-) probably not too far away
for a relationship= I proceed to email

( I dated long distance
to Chicago for 4 yrs!!! Then we married)


However, clear across the country. . .
I probably would like to solely be penpals.

Yet, if winker is in the next town-
Well, I must admit, I go right to "email land."
(To me, the chances of eventually mtg. are a lot more likely)

Winks open the door!!! A pull down menu would be fun-
can we do a poll about what the 5 or 6 choices would say????
Anyone, up for their two cents worth on this?????????Could be fun!


busykydad replies on 8/16/2007 4:10 am:
Thanks for the response...now, about the pull down menu poll...

I don't know what it means when I receive a wink either.....

When I send a wink...it means I am interested in corresponding.
When I send an email...it means I am interested in corresponding.

I tend to think that is what it means when I am winked at as well...however comma emails don't always follow...sooooo guess I am as confused with winks as the next person....

Blessings to you
