"Birds of a feather flock together," as the old saying goes. Do you think this has happened to you?

Clearly. As my answers are always the best, the fact that I am not consistently awarded 'best answer' can only be explained by anti-lollerkeet bigotry.

Pacquiao has said several times that he does not have a problem with fighting Shane Mosley, should his negotiating team come up with a good deal. What happened was more of a business decision rather that Pacquiao not wanting to face sugar shane. And at that particular time, Cotto was the bigger draw than Mosley. And did it not show in the PPV buys? Pacquiao Cotto was the biggest PPV event of 2009. Besides, Cotto was no push over, he had 2 victories prior to Pacquiao. His loss against Margarito is still being doubted since the plasters were exposed. For all we know Mosley may have really not beaten a prime fighter, because Margarito might have been cheating all along, and he did not have the pyschological confidence when he stepped in the ring. Nonetheless full credits should be given for KOing Margarito. By the way, didnt mosley lose to Cotto? So if Pacquiao did face Mosley, whats gonna stop anyone from saying he ducked cotto and went for the man cotto beat.

No - and I say this because I would be willing to bet that most people's avatars are not really what they look like in person. As far as age - I have run across some very mature "kids" in Yahoo! Answers and some very immature "adults". If people do choose the best answer based on gender, race, age, etc. they are doing themselves and everyone else who uses this feature a great disservice.

If the asker is serious about getting a good answer to their questions I don't think they will focus on the person giving the answers so much as the answers themselves.
Sometimes when you're reading through the answers provided, the right one for you just leaps to your attention. :)

No I have never felt that. I do fell there is a strong bias to get a preconceived response to the question asked. Also there is the " stupid " factor.

Yes. I only pick people who express a love for very young dark-shelled Eastern one-clawed lobsters who love Englebert Humperdinck. I also would have to have know them for at least 5 years.

i think it may have happened to me one time. this person was a fan. i rarely ask questions. i answer without recognizing who it is. as for age or race, i don't think anybody knows unless they mention it in the question. the only reason that i think they would mention it in the question would be relevant to the question.

sometimes people can be biased towards other users they are familiar and friendly with, but that usually happens in high activity categories, like Religion &Spirituality and Polls & Surveys. yeah, it's happened to me, but oh well.

No.
I answer questions all over the map, all the time.
I've been chosen as 'best answer' by all kinds of people, and I think that's great!
