why do some people on here ask questions and then get pi**ed when they don't hear what they want?

they are self centered and have been brain washed into believing they are the only person on the planet who is right.\n Anwser one about why some women are picky ...get slammed by people who didn't even ask the question! I am selective & believe people should get to know someone before committing to sex..then when the "lust/burning urgre" is gone..there aren't 2 total strangers with possiblly a baby involoved..and another case of STDS in one more person.\n It's called values & class..but it's slammed by guys who can't handle rejection & honesty..\n Some dude has been sending me nasty emails because I answered honestly to that question and I am who I am..Never said anyone had to be like me !!Though I believe we'd all have happier & healthier relationships..it's just my opinion,that's all.\n They take it as a personal attack,when it's not even that !!\n I laugh when I read what he has to say..Hhhhhmmm wonder if he's that chick's brother? He can't spell either and says the weirdest things if I send him a reaponse.Well,at least he is my free entertainment & get a chuckle from him !!LOL

Some people just like to stir things up by asking a question that will get a rise out of people.\n\nOn the other hand, people sometimes like to answer a question to get a rise out of the asker.\n\nNow which one is this?

Because this forum is anonymous and people can judge without any repercussions. I also think that some of the questions are stated in such a way as to suggest that people are making serious life decisions without correct information, without guidance, and without seeing the big picture sometimes. So people feel that they need to point these things out to questioners.\n\nYou point out one of the flaws with Yahoo! Answers, and that is that there is really very little guidance about what people should expect and how they are to act on this forum. So there is a lot of variability in how people answer questions.\n\nI for one am less concerned with people being judgemental than I am about people who are crude, who give incorrect information, or who use this forum to solicit dates, sex, or customers. These are larger problems with this site.\n\nGreat question!

Because a lot of people can related to those questions. Some of us may have been through it before while others or just experiencing it. So we can try to give them some closures to why those situations occur OK. Then that's more interesting because they are asking for heeeelp, and we give our advice, which is great. It shows your integrity and if you are yet to be wise yourself, also those questions aren't as bored as all the other questions some people be asking!!

Some people answer for 2 points, some just to slurr and put down on the asker. I personally do it because most of the time I think it's a child not knowing how to look up the answer or is home alone sick and bored just wanting to have a conversation. So I sucker myself into doing it..lol.

Probably because there are some ignorant people out there.  There are some people who genuinely come to "Y Answers", looking for serious answers.  While others view it as an opportunity to ask irrelevant or sometimes disgusting questions.  Therefore, when you have a good number of people being silly and derogatory in their questions, you'll get silly and derogatory responses, and at times those people will spill over onto questions that are quite sincere.  I'm not trying to excuse anyone's behavior. I'm just thinking maybe that's the reason why so many people act so immature on here.  I must admit, though, that it doesn't bother me as much anymore because there are 10 responsible, fun and respectful people for every one of those ignorant ones.

Truth of the matter is that when you post a question...you're looking for answers.  Most of the time, these answers are our personal opinions.  Really, there is no "right" or "wrong" answer.  All answers are dependent on your personal views, life style, way you've been brought up, etc.  You're looking for an answer, you get the result of the outcomes of our personal lives.  Some of us are more "sensitive" than others, that's part of the way we were brought up or how we believe we should treat others.  Some of us are more "intelligent" than others, that is also dependent on other factors.  So you see, when looking for an answer, you're faced with the results of our lives and everything we've all gone through.  Sometimes, there's just no simple way to say things.

That's exactly what happens to me!! I personally like to answer cuz sometimes something funny might blurt out, etc.\nIn life it's hard to have someone listen to you, even in writing, but when your answer is sought, it kind of makes you important and confident that at least they'll be listening for the answer.\nMaybe I just need to get a life... but that's too hard, so I'm gonna keep answering questions like there was no freaking tomorrow

When you come to this site, you have to come knowing that all sorts of people will come and give advice.  There are people giving answers that are not serious about their answers, some really are ignorant and unlearned, the worst are the ones who are racist and morally wrong.  When you get the answers, just disregard the bad ones and consider the good ones.  This is really what makes this site fun, at least sometimes.

I imagine that people don't realize that asking thought-provoking .. or just provoking :-) .. questions is your way of saying, "I want to be left alone"

I'm not sure. Maybe they want to make their answer more personal like they are really talking to the person whose question they're answering or maybe they are so used to talking to people like that in real life that it's just a habit.

This is because some people just don't think.\n\nPersonally if there is an offencive question i don't answer, and report it, but only if it has some thing to do with harming people, anything else isn't my problem.\n\nIf there's is a question that offends me, i just don't answer it. Simple.\n\nSome people need an ego boost, and if they need the Internet to do it there pretty dumb!

I know what you mean. It is incredibly annoying when looking through the answers to see what people have said, and then you get some stupid people that just write '2pts'... I mean, they're not even trying.  Usually, when I see people that do that, I go and see their profiles and other questions they've answered, and if they have several, I report them.\nIt's annoying, it's like they feel that's what the point of this site is, to get points... \nI say, if you don't know the answer, or are not even going to bother to try and figure it out... then don't answer at all, the point of this site is to ask questions when you truly want to find something out... and to learn what others think, and have to say about various topics and things.

I know what you mean. Sometimes they don't even answer the question. If your going to answer, then read what the person said or move on. Some people just don't have the patience to read it all, that is ok then there are hundreds of other questions with not much to read.

Because people are naturally curious about other people and their opinions and they way they think. Also some people are kind of needy and really concerned with what others think and trying to analyze others actions. Another reason why the questions might be lame is that a lot of people are just plain bored and ask stupid a$$inine questions such as "Why are all of these questions so lame?"

Oh, I have a pretty good idea why!\n\nI think that alot of people come here with a question but have already made their decition of what they want to hear. However, when we answer with anything that conflicts with that plan, it upsets them because they know we're right. They only sought validation to do what they wer planning anyway.\n\nOh, and I like the silly Q&A's too. hehehe

A lot of people answer questions to receive points. I found that out with a few I have asked. So I just read them and laugh. Its not like they are ruining my day and maybe they had nothing better to do. I also say...If you ask a question...you should be prepared to receive answers you may not necessarily agree or disagree with. Those that have answered your question ignorantly or negatively  might have a different opinion of their answer.
