I ask a lot of question here...?

Question

I ask them mainly for two reasons..

1. To make people "think."

and

2. To hopefully meet new people; not for romance, but more for someone to chat with.

My question is this...why do a lot of you when you do answer any question, don't leave a way for the person asking to contact you?

Certainly IF you were IMed and/or sent an email, you could ignore that person if you hade no desire to talk.

I just think that some of you may be missing out on potential friends!

Please understand that this is just a simple assessment...you absolutely have every right to your privacy.

Your answer won't be judged btw; I just was curious!

Answer 1

The reason I choose not to allow people to contact me is because I may leave an answer and someone may not like the truth that I am giving them and then they send a nasty message because they didn't want to hear the truth. Everyone is not looking for friends on here...Some are looking for enemies and I am not one to let someone say something disrespectful to me and I do not respond back.
If I could be guaranteed that people would be friendly, then I would have no problem with allowing people to contact me via e-mail. But a lot of past experiences have taught me to block out that part because people get upset when you tell them something they don't want to hear and then they attack YOU personally.

Answer 2

I believe, because, this is a forum for answering and asking questions. Some people may want to make a friendship, but not all people are interested in chatting. Some people may not have time for internet friendships...But for me personally, I have it so that people can't IM/e-mail me because I don't know who's all on here. Could be some lil kid, or some old man! Or someone who just wants to harass me due to the questions I've asked or the answers I've givin. And my mail/IM space could be used for a lot better people. Plus, nobody has asked to contact me. :)

Answer 3

i just joined a little bit ago but i do love to help people in any way that i possibly can! i I actually was just wondering.. how do i know if what i said was of any help at all. that is the most important thing to me so you are absolutely right that does make sooooo much sense!!! lol... but i would also not ignore anybody's mail just wondering if i would get any...lol- but that is also where the "what if someone doesn't like what i say" comes in. im just a really nice person and wouldn't want any mean e-mails.. cuz i can get pretty nasty!!lol but contact me at [e-mail] =)

Answer 4

I wonder the same thing Dune it is very rare that someone will contact me after I answer their questions and sometimes I do put email me at [e-mail] or AIM me at BlueSueder8706 but very rarely does anyone reply I hate it too! Blue

Answer 5

You may right but it has been observed that most of the people don't tell a true story about themselves on the web and there is no way to judge this. I am also looking good friends throughout the world but could not find good one. you may write me at [e-mail] with your complete introduction and reference of yahooanswers. Thanks.

Answer 6

Good,I'm not here to find friends,I'm here to answer questions.The people who want to meet new friends leave a way for you to contact them.
