Ok, here's the thing; I'm new here and I was wondering what you all make of giving and receiving 'nods'. First off, is anyone offended? I mean are there those of you who see it a bit like a wolf whistle? Secondly, who can nod whom? Is it ok for a straight man to nod another bloke because he likes his bike or whatever but doesn't want to start a conversation? And then, do you feel obliged to nod back? Or should you reward a nod with a message? Is not responding to a nod considered rude?
Yes, just read that one. All good fun and, of course my initial enquiry was always a little tongue-in-cheek. Everyone has their own take and there's nothing wrong with a little ambiguity to spice things up.
Copied and pasted from my write up on my profile, been on here since 2011 and never used it as a dating site. I have made some fantastic friends over the years from here :) If Mr right did pop past then that's a bonus but I use it for bike chat etc.
..............................I do send nods and messages because its my way of saying hello...nothing more nothing less just a polite hello :) How else do you expect to make new friends ?
If I remember right think it used to be a 'wink', but that made some people feel uncomfortable when receiving a wink from someone who's the same sex, hence why changed to a nod.
Some may feel uncomfortable sending a nod to someone of the same sex even now. Personally it wouldn't bother me receiving a nod, whether it be from a female or male.
Think things may only get weird depending on what was in a PM message??
