Sometimes I see questions on here that make me want to get to know people better because maybe they think like I do or have a similar outlook. Not in a romantic way but in a buddy type of way. Anyone else out there who likes to look at someones answers and questions when they anwered one for you (like a best answer) and then you find out that hey- "I feel the same way! or yeah I would have said that too."

Oh, totally.  There are some people on here who i'm constantly in awe of, and always thinking 'i'd really like to get to know them better', especially when they seem to be genuinely lovely and share all my points of view!

=I just gave you a thumbs up on your question cause I think it is a very interesting question and have often wondered the same thing myself when I see someone who looks like me.  I will be watching to see if you get a really correct answer to your question, but it is unlikely and sure to be a guess. The person would have to look like you to respond, and then it would only be one response or her opinion.  I think both of us should do our own research and every time we see someone who looks like us, write it down and also if possible email that person and personally find out for yourself.  Hay, worst that could happen is that you make a new friend.  Good luck to both of us!

While the answer is amusing to some, others may not feel the same way. I have been bashed for giving at least one answer someone didn't appreciate. I have even gone back and deleted a few of my cynical answers because I didn't want to hurt anyone else's feelings. I say give those answers at your own risk, but I think you found an interesting way to still get the funny stuff out there without doing harm.

I like questions that require my opinion.  I love to give my 2 cents.  Plus, that's a lot more fun because there's no right or wrong answer!

I do! I do! I think it makes us feel smarter...Oooh!!! Especially when we get picked the best answer.  That's the best.  Then it makes you want to try and get the best answer for ALL of them!

I found lost of helpful tips on the issues which are interesting to me. But I have also learned about the psychology of people and how some ask questions but only want to hear opinions that are similar to theirs, how some others refuse to hear different opinions even if it makes sense and how to some people choosing to attack others and spreading false information is more important than investing their time to get some benefit. It's really amazing how some people make accounts for the sole reason of provoking, or offending other ones and then pretend they're under attack!

You'd be surprised how many people get to know you, at least a little, through YA.\n\nLots of people on here find it interesting to research some of the questions and to help people out.  Some people are on here for the fun questions and to have a little fun - nothing wrong with that.  Many people seriously need an answer to their questions and have trouble finding the answer without help.\n\nPersonally, I usually answer serious questions, many of them in Education, which is my area of particular interest, but I also answer a few questions in other categories.  I try to give good answers, and I don't ever give answers to mislead someone.   For me this is an interesting site and it occupies my mind right now while my husband is ill and recovering from chemotherapy.  \n\nI believe there are now more than a million people using this site.  So there are obviously all kinds of people on here for all kinds of reasons, and so there are all kinds of answers. \n\nEnjoy your YA experience.  It's a great site.  Best of luck.

I think most people feel the same way you do.  I always find that carefully listening to people & then asking them questions about themselves is a great way to start a conversation. Most people like to talk about their likes, dislikes, etc. & just need an invitation to do so.

I find it easy to share personal experiences because I'm an open and friendly person. Plus, I hope that the more people who read and learn from my answers, and are helped by them, the better off the world is. I admit I do some selfish things that only benefit me, but that's not the kind of person I want to be.

Yes\nYes\nAnd again I say YES!\n\nSo often I see what seems to be a heartfelt question but then it goes to a vote.  It doesn't make sense to me.  So often what gets chosen as Best Answer is anything but a Best Answer.\n\nHowever, some Askers have stated that they weren't allowed to pick a Best Answer.\n\nWhen I check a person's profile I will often cast a vote if I see there are questions In Voting.  I hope others will do the same for me.

i would say getting responses to questions because the points aren't very useful. However, it is a nice feeling to know that you have tried your best to help someone else.

I'm searching for wisdom.Part of the search is learning how other people think,feel and believe.I mostly just read the questions and answers on here.I'll only answer a question once in a while,like this one.

Some people cannot communicate their thoughts as well as others. And yes the answers are out there for them to find, but you become their resource when you agree to answer their questions.

I'm with you on that.  I have posted some serious questions before and they're not even been looked at, but give someone a fun, weird, stupid question and everyone is all over it.  There has to be some people out there like you and me that do go to the trouble of answering the unique/real questions.  It's not all just about points people it's about helping out your fellow friends.  Make someone's day and actually answer something you wouldn't normally answer and do some research on it and you just might make someone's day or help them make a life style change.  Get to it....

Not unless something is really intrigueing about the question. A really good or bad question will make me curious. More often I click on answerer's avatars who have made really good or lame comments/answers. \n\nThe good ones I hope to find more comments/questions of interest. The bad ones just to see if that was an aberation or this person is truelly that stupid/disturbed/whatever negitive reason stirred me to look. \n\nSome folks with really interesting avatars I'll click on as well just because the avatar might be a way of saying this is an intersting person to meet.
