Responding to Winks
| Fri, 04-15-2005 - 2:36pm |
Hi all, I am new to this board. I just moved to a large city and signed on to Match about a week ago. I have been getting a lot of winks and I have replied to a few of them with a casual email but have not gotten a reply yet (it has only been a day or two so I'm not that worried). My question is, after reading the board, now I am wondering if not all of these guys are subscribed and if so should I send another email with my email address included (I know Match scans so I will have to code it somehow)? They seem to have pretty in-depth profiles so I am assuming they are members but I guess there really isn't a way to tell. I don't want to seem too persistent and send another email, but on the other hand, if they aren't subscribed I don't want to miss out on possibly meeting them? Should I send another email to them (there is only about two or three so far) or wait a few more days? Thanks!

I would not send another email.
>>I guess my logic is I wouldn't wink at someone I didn't want to get to know beyond a wink but it seems a lot of guys do that regularly,
To get inside the mind of the typical onliner -- remove logic and reason...
I actually send out winks to find out who DOESN'T want to hear from me.
So if I sent them a wink and they responded negatively, I set them to ignore and won't bother sending them an email if I become a member.
If they don't reply to my wink or reply positively, I'll send them an introductory email once I become a member.
So I basically just use the function to judge interest amongst the people that are supposedly compatible with my search criteria and also to weed out any that wouldn't be interested in the first place (saves me some time and effort)

A new scam I figured out quickly:
Russian girls signing up listing their city
as in or near your city...
Although I think they end up getting their profile
deleted for them by administrators eventually.
The first contact email is usually 1-2 pages about themselves.
I don't contact too many ppl as far as winks/emails and I'm
not using match right now. But, I found you get at least
some reply if you only contact 'premier' members that have
the personality testing thing. This means absolutely they
are a member.

No. If they are too cheap to pony up a few bucks to join so they can write to you directly, then that's a pretty good sign of what they think you're worth.
If you initiate the contact (ie wink first) then I think you should email them if they wink back. But if a guy winks at you, and you send him a little note, that should be it. If they're into you, they'll contact you; anything else, and they're not (and therefore are not worth your time/energy/money).
