| Winks...isn't that like glancing across a

I've wondered about the winking thing for some time now. Is it that people feel it's less effort or less of an investment to wink? Perhaps it's purely a matter of time conservation in this ever-busy world in which we live? By conserving time with a simple wink, they can wink at more people?
I can only speculate at why people wink. However, I've got some analogies for winks. Winks are like glancing across a busy street during rush hour, glancing at a person when they're hustling to their next class, or maybe it's more like waving to a person in a dimly lit bar with 100s of people criss-crossing and chit chatting in between the waver and the wavee.
I don't know why people wink exactly, maybe there are multiple reasons. Although I do believe the liklihood of being spotted, let alone acknowledged and remembered, is pretty slim.
I also know that as grownups we need to speak to several people on a daily basis. Some times we must speak whether we want to or not, like to the boss or a co-worker we lack an appreciation for.
Is it that much time, effort and energy to open your cyber mouth (email!) and write a sentence or two to someone you think *might* lead to the relationship your profile says you want?
I just felt like venting a little, I guess.
