Why do some of you vote first answer to your question as best answer....?

Question

I'm curious to know this..Don't you want to wait around to see if you get a bettter response to your question ?

Answer 1

I've often wondered the same thing. I don't do that. I think that some people do it because they can't decide which answer is best, so they just vote for the quickest answer.

Answer 2

Isn't it mandatory to wait four hours before choosing a best answer, anyway? The only time I've ever chosen the first answer was when the others matched it pretty much exactly, and I figured the first person to get it posted deserved the points.

Answer 3

I always wait a few days for a variety of answers, then pick the best. It doesen't matter if the person was first or not. It depends on what they had to say.

Answer 4

I wait for few days before I pick the best answer

Answer 5

i wait a day or two first. and usually mine are not "in voting", only the ones i REALLY can't decide on or ones that are more like random polls that you would get many of the same answer on.

Answer 6

i like to give my questions 3 or 4 days to be answered

Answer 7

I always vote what I think is the best answer.

Answer 8

I select the best answer by content for my questions.
when voting for others, the firstis only selected when they are long tedious answers. only 1 point, time is points. eheheehehee

Answer 9

I never did that, I always wait till the next day.

Answer 10

cause we assume that they answer the question cause they no the answer well
