Do you EXPECT to get best answer when you answer a question?

Question

I know I dont. I find that the odds of me receiving best answer are 1 in 50. But thats ok. I like answering the questions anyway.

Answer 1

Yes, it is supposed to be judged by how you answer the question. If you answer the question well, no matter how much effort you put into it. If the questioner (is that a word?) feels that you actually answered it from the heart and it was a good honest answer, I feel that you (or I) should get best answer. That however is only my opinion. Sometimes I answer sarcastically, or am a smart elec, other times I answer from the heart and say what I am really feeling, in the first few examples I don't EXPECT to get best answer, but in the last example I do EXPECT to at least be considered. Hope this helps in whatever destination you were looking for!

Answer 2

It has everything to do with what the question is, and the quality of the other answers. Some times I can just tell, my answer to a certain question is... well not necessarily "better" but at least more thorough or informative than any of the others. And that makes me think I am very likely to get best answer.

BTW, my odds are usually better than 1/50. Of course, a lot of the questions I answer don't even have 50 answers. I have a tendency to gravitate towards questions that, I guess most people aren't interested in. And that's why there are not many answers.

Answer 3

No I'm shocked when I get best answer.. I always thought my answers will help but didn't know it will touch the person that is asking the question...

Answer 4

if youre on my contacts list and you answer at least 3 of my questions in any given hour you stand a mighty good chance of getting an easy 10

Answer 6

Not all the time.

Answer 7

No. Getting a best answer is such a little thrill, though!

Answer 8

My answer...a poem
"Old Man"

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Answer 9

I expect nothing, and nothing is what I usually get, so I'm not disappointed very often.

Answer 10

Nope, but I always hope it's a possibility.
