Can we be more specific?

Question

Is it me or would all of us be more helpfull if when people asked questions they gave us alittle more basic info like their age or how long they have been married or dating etc. Often times we don't have any idea whether we are answering to someone that is 13 or 23 or 63 and it makes a difference...so I know this is more of a rhetorical question and doesn't really need answering but can we all start doing that?

Answer 1

this would be helpful...can't give a 13year old the same advice as a 33 year old.

Answer 2

It certainly would make it a bit easier, but when I run into a question that doesn't make sense or the details are too few to form an answer to it, I just move on, as there are so many more good questions out there that have the right amount of information.

But I am all with you on it though, the more info the better.

Answer 3

I would love to see more details in most of the questions. I don't really want to give 13 year old advice on getting his girlfriend in the sack. I get the same thing in Home and Garden where I answer a lot of questions. Just had one about putting new drywall on a ceiling, but no other details. I asked or details instead of typing a book on basic drywalling techniques.

Answer 4

I think some people leave those facts out purposely. Honestly, if a 13 year old was asking about sex they would probably get no real answer other than "you're too young! keep your pants on!" Yet if a 23 year old asked a sex question they would get honest responses. But in general I think you're right. People sometimes forget important info.

Answer 5
