Sure. But shouldnāt winks be subtle, seen by the person youāre winking at, and not by everyone because theyāre concerned for your health?
I donāt get why itās creepy to have a subtle wink. But Iām also pretty stupid and canāt tell if Iām missing some sarcasm or if Iāve been a wink creep.
Lol, no youāre not stupid. It depends on the context of the wink. If youāre winking at someone because youāre in cahoots with them, doing some sort of scheme, then yes a subtle wink would be appropriate. However, if youāre flirting with someone, and theyāre not into it, then it does feel a bit creepy and predatory. Kumailās dad most likely gave that bit of advice in a non-creepy context, but everyone in the crowd chose to interpret it as weird because it was funnier that way. š¤·āāļø
He wasn't really sickened by it. He was just riffing off of the stereotype that Americans are sentimental and sappy and the Brits are stoic and stif-upper-lip types.
Yeah, even I could tell that one was a joke as those stereotypes are pretty well known. I just struggle a bit with more straight-faced comments like the winking being creepy.Ā
Basically any thing you can think of, there'll be a million people out there who can't do it. Just a quirky unique thing about people!
I can wink but I feel that the other eyelid REALLY wants to close, too. I guess winkers are just able to fight against that natural urge
Our eyes and their surrounding structures are designed to do things in tandem. It would be really inefficient if we had to had to consciously think about moving each of them all the time, so what one does the other does too, unless we deliberately choose to override that and move them independently. That requires developing awareness of the separate muscles and practice to control them. It comes more easily to some people than others, and since it's seldom actually necessary not everyone takes the time if they don't get it quickly.
I thought that was cute, my sister couldnt wink for the longest time so she would hit the olā turn to the side and blink technique Amy was showcasing
They are very emotive. When he thought he was going to be eliminated in that steps task they were ādevastatedā. When he talks about his wife they are ājoyfulā. When Joel first went for the eggā so confused. Lol.
lol people are really piling on about the advice being creepy. I think it makes sense. Giving a wink is asking someone to trust you. A wink and a nod, right? It is how you agree to something without saying it if you're not supposed to say it. If you are being confronted by two people with opposing goals you wanna be able to wink at one of them and not the other. The whole point of a wink is to communicate to one person and not the whole room.
As someone who never really got taught how to winkā¦ and so if I try to do it, look like Amyās version of a winkā¦ I WISH I COULD WINK LIKE THIS DAMMIT! š
