When asking people questions or asking for advice do you want to hear the ideal answer (ie the answer you were hoping to hear), or the realistic answer/solution (probably not what you wanted to hear)?

The most realistic answer but this is subjective and only one person's opinion but why wear rose tinted glasses, best to be upfront and honest :)

I always want the real, but in the ideal way. The truth is preferable, but with tact and consideration for the person's feelings and intelligence level.

By the number of negative points I get, apparently people don't want to hear the truth!

When I ask a servious question I am looking for honest constructive answers, not someone to stroke my ego. The truth is the most useful thing.

I bet a lot of people would like the real answer, but when they get it, they wish for the idealistic answer.
