Why I can't get good answers for question about older people giving advice?

Anyone can give advice. But for it to do any good it must be received. Older people - like any other people - can see that their advice is better received by being serious in their care about others. You must earn the right to be heard.

I think they should appreciate all you have to offer, as they say, with age comes wisdom.\nAfter reading a thousand questions, its easy to see, there are a lot of young ones, out there, who need that help and wisdom.\nForget the naysayers, there are plenty of them, and appreciate the ones that can learn from your experience.

How do you compensate when most of the questions are equally as ridiculous?  \nIt should have age related categories, or be divided into age period groups.  I feel too old for most of these questions that MUST be from a 14 year old.

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.

Well i can tell you that people have no answers and there hoping you can help them with the question and get an answer i mean some people don't even know that there putting up stupid questions or they are trying to be perfect.I mean people might think that the question your asking is stupid (not saying that this question is)\nPeople just wanna have fun asking these questions and just play around.Some people just wanna be pefect.And some people really need help cause their stuck and they have no one too ask that they come to you and ask you cause they think you can help and they can trust some of you.Also to the asker the question is important to them and they really want an answer.And people say yourquestion is a stupid question don't listen too them it's not stupid it's a good piont

Yes, there a few gems stashed in amongst the rubbish on this forum.  It takes researching the profiles of people who give intelligent answers.  People who give good answers usually ask great questions.  Sometimes we have to put up with a lot of irritating nonsense to get through to the good stuff.  I suggest keep a list of people who ask good questions/give good answers and go to their profiles to answer theirs.  Who cares about points.  Let the others wear each other out.

Yahoo Answers is probably not the place to get in touch with the most caring, understanding and gentle people. It is a site for the young, for the bored, for the oversexed and the insomniacs. \nI try not to be too sarcastic in my answers but I have noticed I do fail - and while I am not proud of this, I also believe the questions are to be blamed sometimes. Quite some of the postings are completely unbelievable. \nI will easily admit that there are a lot of horrible postings in both questions and answers, but that always seems to happen in such online groups. I guess the best way still to deal with it is to ingnore it. What else can you do?

Many people give answers to different subjects they have no clue about. I am wondering myself. But what can you do?\n\nWell, I only answer questions for which I am qualified to answer.

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.

Why don't you ask a your question?  What help do you need?  If you had asked a coherent question, I would have been willing (and able) to help you, since I am a former call center consultant, but since you can't seem to form a thought, sorry.

I know it sucks.  Just when you wanna answer a good one, they don't let you, Or something on your mind and you want to ask, you feel like your in trouble & being punished... LOL

There are too many unknowns from what you have offered in your information to be able to offer you any opinions or suggestions. Things like your past relationships, if any, your age, your family history, etc. If you could offer more information it would be very helpful.

Sometimes it is difficult to give a good answer with just a few lines. Most people want to help the person asking the question in any way they can.

Try asking questions in clear, coherent sentences.  If people have the slightest clue what you're talking about, you're more likely to get responses.
