    Do you wink at someone? ;) When? How often? What is going through your mind when winking? What happens when you do? Do you have different kinds of winks? Seductive wink? I'm joking wink? How many kinds of winks are there?

    What do you think or feel when someone winks at you? Male? Female?

    Just watched the Biden-Palin debates, and Sarah Palin winked at the camera so many times I lost count. So to quote Palin: ;);););););););)...

    I do it at least twice a day, sometimes more when I see someone attractive.

    Oh wait, you wrote "wink," I thought you posted something completely different. Never mind.

    I wink a lot. It's something I've really got to stop doing.

    How I use it depends on who I'm winking at, be it a greeting or acknowledging something great someone did.

    Greeting = Wink, smile and a hello
    Acknowledging Greatness = Wink and a casual nod of approval


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    I'M NOT WINKING, IT'S A NERVOUS THING. So get over it.;)

    Winking is sooooo 1980's!

    Just wondering...

    How would a Ruu wink differ from a Victor wink? Or a Dudess wink from a randylonghorn wink?

    Would a brianthebard wink be poetic? Now let's not talk about a seductive Jeremiah 16:1 wink, yikes! Or if a challengemaster wink would be challenging? Hmmmmm, do monkeys wink?

    ;)Is it true that Tar winks with both eyes?;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Bendihorse


    I never wink at people and i hate it when people wink at me, i dont know why but it really makes my skin crawl... ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭togster


    I wink at random people sometimes. Try pulling of a sexy wink after you have planned to do it and see how fcuking awkward it can be. I always end up looking like Christy Brown. I somehow always manage to stick my tongue out a lillte bit when i wink too. A mix of this ;) and this:p and the person on the recieving end of this is like this :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Used to be able to get an old girlfriend to do anything by winking at her - it drove her crazy!

    Ah the good old days, before I got all pudgy and unattractive! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭shenanigans1982


    I can wink with my left eye...every time I try it with my right eye it looks like an attempt at gurning...surprisingly enough not a big hit with the ladies.

    Hmmmmm, do monkeys wink?

    I'm more of a rolls eyes kind of guy.

    :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 94 ✭✭metamorphic


    My left eye wink doesn't cause me to pull a facial contortion, it's my subtle wink. ;)

    my right eye wink causes me to scrunch up my face, makes me look like a pirate, arrr. Also called "the dirty old man" wink by the GF at the time. Nice to have that in the bag for later years, arrr ladies ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭Vain


    When guys wink its just creepy, When girls wink its cheeky and sexy. Thats my two cents


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    Winking by a man can only ever be pulled off successfully if it is accompanied by a shooting gesture with the left or right hand. Blowing the smoke from the barrel of your imaginary gun is optional.

    LOL brilliant!

    I wink :p about Mary Harney all the time. That thread from yesterday has inspired me more too.

    Too much winking can make you go blind.

    Careful now!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭gerky


    A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    Ok, so I'm at a gig last night right up at the front and one of the girls in the band is pretty hot so obviously I was looking at her. Anyway, she caught my eye and she smiled at me. So far so good.

    A few minutes later she looked over again, and I decide to wink, only seconds before realising that the guy standing to my right knows her and it was him she was looking at all along.

    Needless to say to avoid any possible embarassment I proceeded to wink excessively and successfully made it look like I'd had something in my eye all along.

    So a warning to all, THINK BEFORE YOU WINK!

    And you need your mobile phone cover slung low and to the side like a holster. Cause holsters are awesome!

    Or a Dudess wink from a randylonghorn wink?

    Well, one of these would give me the randylonghorn and one of them wouldn't.

    Can you guess which one?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 235 ✭✭smk135


    Hahaha funny thread.

    Anytime I'm winked at by a lad (not often thank god) it just makes me cringe for them.

    I mean it either looks really akward and pre meditated or way too smooth, in which case the "winker" just looks like a stuck up tosser that deserves a punch in the head.

    Guys, don't do it. Do not wink. unless you're willing to use it as a chat up line to slag yourself off (a lot) for doing it.
    Actually, na just don't do it.

    I've had Bell's Palsy a couple of times, where the muscles on one side of your head go to sleep for a few days. Unfortunately, when you blink, only the eye-lids on the good side operate. You have to be a fast runner, because everybody thinks that you're winking at 'em and get the wrong idea. I've had girls' boyfriends threaten to beat the crap outta me in the street. Some guys have even smiled and returned the wink.

    If I ever get it again, I'm staying in. :eek:

    I had bells palsy 3 years ago at Christmas, remember doing my shopping in the freezing cold and not being able to close my right eye.

    I do wink but usually it accompanies my cheeky nature, I don't try and pull a woman by winking, but occasionally if I see someone I know I wink in acknowledgement.

    I'm not letting you get your claws into that filthily-named Randylonghorn - you're javaboy's and that's that!

    I'd only throw a sultry wink at the person listed in my signature ;)

    What the hell :eek::confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 235 ✭✭smk135


    No way, I just got into the lift in work to go for a smoke and the lad already in there winked at me as I walked in.

    As stated previously, it does NOT have a positive affect.

    wow, wait a minute, Captain Darling you're the first person who's made me swoon and given me butterflies when winking.

    Incredible, you have the wink effect.

    Use it wisely.

    I remember years ago there was an advert on the trains that read “Wink at the person under this sign!”

    The seats faced each other so there normally was someone sitting there under the sign straight across from you.

    The thing was if the person sat under the sign looked straight across they would see a sign that said

    “What would you do if the person under this sign winked at you?”

    Want to be the Vice President of the United States? Who needs experience in handling financial meltdowns or waging war? Unimportant indeed! Just work on your wink!;);););););)...

    Expert advice on what might become the next field of human inquiry: Winkology or the study of winking. See:http://news.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/columnists/view/2008_10_03_Odds_are_stacked_against_Sarah_Palin/srvc=home&position=1

    **Shhhhhh, gossip has it that Captain Darling has the first Ph.D. (Piled-Higher-and-Deeper) degree in Winkology. Of course it was honorary based on years of winking praxis (the practical application of the theory of winking).**

    I winked at a lady once.

    Woke up shortly after in the ER with a fork in my eye. So, from then on I wore :cool:
