Why is it that.....?

How come when a person who has a genuine question and needs advice, doesn't get much of any. YET durtbags ask why they shouldn't divorce their wife, or the idiot who asks if she should persue a married man, questions that are blatantly obvious, get more responses. Next time I need an answer to an obvious question, I'll just ask ya'll, that's what this is here for, right? To help people with social anxiety...lol

Update:

Thank u Billy. I understand that what's easier is most choosen, but it's just as easy to answer a question that asks for an opinion. Like 7 out of 10 people have kids and go thru the same thing.

    Questions that are more obvious are easier to answer, and therefore will get more responses. Questions that are genuine are often more complicated, and therefore harder to answer

    Depends on your question. A lot of people are into the romance and hardship questions - and that category does see a lot of action. When you ask a "harder" question - it can depend on what time of day you asked it - and how many people on line at the time - were interested in answering it. Make your questions VERY CLEAR and good luck.

    A lot of people pay attention to the category. This one is etiquette so if a question doesn't have anything to do with etiquette they won't answer it. I always try to help. It doesn't hurt to try.

    To get some free points that don't involve thinking to hard.

    They just don't know what to say, and fear being wrong.

    This bugs me too.
