Would someone who has been here longer than I have tell me what the point is in "Nudge". I get a lot of them here. It says, "Nudge them back" I do, I never hear a peep out of them. Is it a way to try to get someone to talk to you?

To quote the album title of the musical group "The Who", who were a big famous band in the sixties, of one of their LPs,

"A Nudge Is As Good As A Wink".

This has been upgraded, or rather, modernified to keep with the times, to "A nookie is as good as a wonking."

In the interim, between then and now, some different versions had also surfaced to bind time until modernization would have a chance to take place, such as:

"Ted Nudgent is as good as The Wangooses."

"Nitzsche is as good as Wittgenstein."

"A nag is as good as a whack."

doesn't matter how long you have been on mingle. everyone has their own opinion of nudges. some will be ok with people they see on the forums nudging them, but not a "stranger". others like to nudge, but may not communicate with you more than that

personally, i nudge back if i am nudged, and i will nudge "newbies" to see if they nudge back. if they do, than i will message them. i do that because i don't like the idea of taking time and effort to send a message and not receive a reply. you will hear that a non-reply is a reply of not interested, but imho i find that rude. if a passerby on the streets acknowledges you in some way, like a smile, wave or "hi", usually an acknowledgement of some sort is returned

i guarantee i guarantee that if you use, or don't use, nudges as you darn well please, everyone else will do whatever they darn well please

(bulldog double guarantee - patent pending)

Nudge Nudge . I don't mind them. Sometimes I nudge back and other times I don't do anything. But I always answer if someone has taken the time to email me...even if it's a thank you. Oh...which...btw doesn't happen too often

I never get 'em...Of course, if I did I'd probably ignore them unless I knew the person. Then I would spam nudges like no other in hopes that she will marry me one day.

Success...Zero. Mission accomplished.

I personally ignore them unless from someone I know. I believe some people send them hoping you will break the ice.

they are in case your drinking and do not want to email something stupid

Mystery solved then!! Seems alot more people should nudge than message lol.

ya.. Its another way of showing interest.. Specially for those too shy

I just think its a way of saying, Hey! In case you didn't notice me among all these mingle peeps, I think something about you is worth checking into? What about you...

Since I'm a Man, if I think I may be interested, I initiate at that point, if I feel the same or I initiate any way ...seems like a no brainier.

I think it is just saying hello and if you want
to say hello back you nudge them back or write them.

I think its kind of nice its like getting a
smile from someone you see across the room.

other times its friends nudging you sayign hey
take tiem to say hi ect ,

>>i have habit at times nudging people or hugging
people i know well offline so to me nudges are
fun and innoscent.

Nudges are fun.,id prefer it than mutual match..its what you do when you're "too stunned," (LOL!) to utter a single word...

Throw a rock option would be nice. They seem like ways to get you to talk to them because they don't have the nerve themselves.
I only play along with fellow minglers who post often.

Why not just send an email that says that? It would make a lot more sense and give the other person something to respond to.

Well the end to my statement, is poorly written.

I do initiate if I'm interested or see possibility.....But If I receive a nudge, or whatever other icons are on that list, I check it out and if I have interest, then I initiate at that point.

a nudge as good as a wink to a blind bat - know what i mean?

Some nudges I'd like to see;

I'd tap dat in a New York second.

Looking for a date there, big boy?

I lub u long time.

Trust me.

I'm the man yo mama warned you about.

I'm the kind of woman you wouldn't want your mother to meet.

For some reason I just can't relate to nudges...If I want to talk/contact someone I'll just send them a message...I like it best when other people are more direct with me too.

Myself I would prefer a few words in a message versus a nudge

All I know is that it seems most here love the "kick in the butt" nudge.
