How come people don't like right answer, just ones that are nice and kissy?

I have 0% right answers and I feel some of my answer are right on the spot. Not many but a few deserve the best answer but doesn't seem to get it.

I think many people here likes answers that pleases them instead of what the right answers are. Not that I care about my records because I'm here just to pass some time and maybe learn a few things not for records or points as you can see I will be on level 1 for a loooooong time.

What you think?

    I do agree with you and understand what you are talking about. Some categories, like polls and surveys and jokes and riddles, don't really need the right answer, they want a funny answer or one that agrees with them. I know this is silly. Just don't try too hard. I read one guy's answer where he said that he never got the Best Answer and that the B. A. were usually stupid. Guess what? he got the B.A. that time.

    I know you are here not only for the points but it's nice to get them and there's another way to help you get out of level one. You can vote for the undecided answers. Go to Discover (the one above next t Ask and Answer) and click on vote. You'll earn points for each voting and you'll see how people take it easy here and some time give the silliest answers and get the B.A.

    Good luck to you. I am sure you are gonna make it and that you'll get many B.A soon. I mean it.

    Oh and a star from me to encourage you and cheer you up ;)

    It took like 2 weeks before I got a best answer. They key is to pay attention to who is asking the question, and try to come up with an answer that they will like. Doesn't have to be cutesy for everbody. You should look at the persons older questions and see what kind of answers they choose as best.

    I'll have to agree with you seeing how the "right answers" aren't always the "best answers". But when it comes to the "best answer", to hit the hammer on the nail you'll have to sometimes tell the person what they want to hear but still try to get as close as possible to the right answer.

    I agree with lady luck. It's all subjective - depends on the asker. A 13 yr old may pick something different from a married 40 yr old

    I guess because some people are insecure...good luck with that, though. Hope you get more best answers soon...but don't worry. You only have nineteen answers anyway. I'm sure you'll get one soon. I didn't get a best answer until at least my 40th answer last account.

    Just answer more questions to make up the points.

    I've gotten a few best answers, but I also answer a butt load of questions.

    Just keep at it. You'll eventually get a best answer.

    hey u can't expect to have heaps of best answers if you've just started... it takes longer and lots of people who deserve best answers dont get them all the time so your not the only one... keep answering and soon enough someone will give u a best answer!

  • I give them to whoever. If it makes me laugh I will choose that. Right can sometimes be dull and boring. I don't know anybody here really so I don't pick the people I like. So many people do that.

    Eh, some people tend to need reassurance, so they give the best answers to the flirty replies. It's nothing personal against you, I'm sure.

Still have questions? Get your answers by asking now.
