Why do people ask questions?
366146
You just asked a question.  Consider why you asked the question.  You could have wanted an answer.  Then again, you could have simply wanted to start peoples brains moving.  I could ask you why you asked the question, but then I would be asking a question, a pointless one, because I don't care why you asked your question.  Only one can know why they truly ask any question.

Sometimes you ask a question just to see what others think.\nThen you read it and think, YUP it is a STUPID question. LOL...

Why is this question in the Love and Romance section?  Don't they have a nosy section?\nThere are 2 main reasons people answer those questions.\n1.  They want to ridicule, or make fun of, the person asking the question.\n2.  They really care about other people, and hope they can give another viewpoint, or some insight into the problem.

people generally give important answers to silly questions because they respect theirs partners in conversation. you are a lucky person if you met these people. that means they respect you and the conversation, even though it is a silly one...

Sometimes we are just curious. Sometimes we want  knowledge. Sometimes we are just making friendly conversation. Just be careful of the answer you receive, however, not everyone is honest.

because people post the same questions over and over with terrible grammar, while the rest of us try to make serious questions.\n\n"Why do people"\n\n\nThis question has been posted many times, use the search feature.\n\n"why people so rude"\n"why people so mean"

Asking questions (to whomever) is a fine thing.\nWe should all ask away!\nBut what if the answer is something we find difficult to swallow?\nWill we accept or twist it around, to make it a bit more palatable?

It is probably different for each individual.  Some may just be ignorant, and you really can t blame them, for asking questions is the first step to enlightenment.  Some may just want attention and some might just be bored.

To get opinions.... or just to feel like there are real people out there answering your questions.\n\nWhy did you ask this question?

Why did you ask me this?

I guess that people assume that if a "relevant" person asks a question, they really want an answer.\nSo here I am answering your question.\nMany people have a lot of information in their heads that seems to be of no good to them.  It just floats around in there taking up space.  They might think that if they give that information to someone else, it will go away and leave them more space to gather more irrelevant information to pass on to someone else in answer to an irrelevant question so they can get it out of their head so they can gather more irrelevant information to float around in their heads until they can pass it on to someone else in answer to an irrelevant question.  Understand?

To get opinions on things. Or to get answers from people who think they know everything. ^_^ heehee.\n\nEither way, it's fun to see some of the crazy questions (and answers) people ask!

Mostly I ask a question to find out something I don't know the answer to. \n I hate it when people insult God, they do that mostly out of ignorance. or to get a reaction out of someone.

NO they don't.  Some ask for the sake of asking. Some ask but don't know how to phrase the question intelligently. Some ask to just goad other people into a reaction.
