I do sometimes send a cheeky little wink at girls... but it's not really a flirtatious thing... it's more like a casual gesture for me... like a smile/smirk followed by a wink and then saying hey just to be friendly...
To be honest it can work wonders... I often do the same with other guys, doormen/bouncers, policemen etc... it's a cool non verbal way of breaking the ice with strangers.
One time it even got me and some friends out of a bar brawl lol... things were getting heated between a friendand others guys at the pub... and then before it sparked off.. I just pulled my friend away looked over at the other guy.. smiled and winked at him and then told him it's all good mate.. you boys enjoy your night... and we walked off...
In terms of girls winking at me... its normally mature and confident women that do it... I once had this lady that looked like she was in her 50s pull up in a range rover.. park up and then as she walked past she winked at me... I was 19 at the time.. and till this day its been a pretty memorable experience 😅...

I know that winks can be VERY awkward if you don't have that charisma to go along with it.
My strategy with using winks when I was in high school was to do an overly dramatic or obnoxious wink in order to make the girl laugh. That was my goal, if she laughed I made progress with her.
I had some pretty funny experiences with it 😄
I think I'd look awkward, but I like receiving them. I am good with other means of communication though... of course that requires the other person being able to pick up what you want to say. once during a meeting had a "conversation" with someone through eye contact only and we both agreed we should leave the meeting and go outside. We never exchanged a single word, stood both up at the same time and left the room. People were wondering afterwards what the heck got into us.
I love to wink. I like to think I look really cool when I do it... but probably don't.

Nah, never did it, or liked receiving it... seems creepy to me
No, but it's cute when a woman does it.
I'm an awkward winker for sure!
I'm not a winker. I never thought winking would be attractive, probably still wouldn't but there are always exceptions.
I was at the airport recently and I thanked the guy next to me for stacking my bin. He smiled and winked and surprised a laugh out of me. Yes, he was attractive, but that doesn't mean he gets a free pass. He just had this playful friendly vibe.I don’t wink and I don’t especially like it when people wink at me either. I can never take it seriously, it just makes me cringe.
I like when my boy wink at me it's cute and flirtatious 😅😍
I only wink as a little joke, but if I was winked at, I wouldn't mind.
I LOVE when a woman does a seductive wink. It makes me melt like butter!
It depends on the context. On first interaction with someone, it's awkward and puzzling.
I'm more like "wtf?" When someone winks at me. I can't wink though.
Winking causes erections.
Erections are evil.

No coz I'm bad at winking and I find it flirty..

No, but I knew a Dutch guy who did it all the time.
Sometimes, depends on who it is. It's nice being winked at though.

No I don’t think I have ever done that.I am a winker and a wanker and I am winking at you but not wanking.
Oh yes! My most significant relationship started with a wink!!
