Why do people think it is funner to answer questions instead of ask?

Question

or is it?

why for the other way around if so?

Answer 1

LOL, funner, good word! I like answering questions better b/c I get points!

Answer 2

For me, it isn't exactly MORE fun to answer, but it comes down to points...for answering a question you get 2 points, for asking a question you lose 5 points.

Take this question as a case in point...you lost 5 points and I gained 2 points...one of us is smarter than the other...lol...j/k

Answer 3

To me it's more fun to answer because 99% of the time I know where to look to find out what I want to know. Also, some people come up with some really good philosophical questions.

Answer 4

It is MORE FUN to answer than ask because there are already enough questions here. Also, I can usually find the answer to a question if I search for my question beforehand (which more people should do).

The whole point gain versus point loss is another plus. :o)

Answer 5

I like to answer questions...probably because I like to think I have learned a few things over the years. Also because I have seen a few things over the years and experience is a great teacher. And to be honest, it is a bit of an ego boost when your answer is picked as best. lol have fun.

Answer 6

Because I get 2 points for answering but lose 5 points for asking.Duh.

Answer 7

It's not funner, just easier.

Answer 8

I could never think up half the questions I've read here, and half of those I'd never want to.

Answer 9

well, i find that i can be even more of a smart *** when answering other peoples question then i can when i ask my own

Answer 10

when you answer, you get to research the answer, thus learning, more things (if you answer many question)
