How come whenever I ask a question it gets only like 3 answers?

Question

There are a few times I've gotten over 30, but it seems like I always get like 3 or 4.


Also, could you answer this one?

OK, I'll give you three answers myself, just to make you feel better.

Hope this has been some help.

Answer 2

You need to add more contacts. When you do this, they receive an e-mail informing them you added them. Generally, they will click on the link and add you which makes them your fan. Every time you ask a question, your fans get your questions in an e-mail, unless they have disabled this feature. The more fans you have, the more answers you get!

I would suggest adding everyone who answers your questions! Hopefully that will increase the answers you get.

Also, try to ask questions that everyone can answer no matter what gender, age, race they are or where they live. If you ask questions which are directed to a few people only, you won't get as many answers.

Instead of asking "Do you have a dog?", ask "What pets do you have?"

or "What states have you visited?" instead of "Have you been to Utah?"

Answer 3

The question you asked is one where only three people knew the answer, or it was so ridiculous that only three people bothered to respond. You seem like a decent person, though I've never looked at your profile, so I'm willing to bet it's the former

Don't worry. I recently asked a question about the definition of anti-family in the practice of challenging books, and it only got three responses. However, it did get two stars.

Answer 4

Usually you only get like over 50 ansers if you ask an extremly simple question (Do you own a car?) Stuff like that. People like to answer questions that they dont really have to think about to much. Good luck!

Answer 5

You aren't the only one. I don't always get many either. Once I got over a hundred though in the first couple of minutes! I was shocked and it was kinda hard to pick best answer.

Answer 6

Hmmm, well I hope this helps. I've noticed that some questions I ask only get a few responses as well.

Answer 7

Maybe your questions' are too long, boring, worthless, etc. But I try to answer as many as I can; because i knnow the feeling. nad maybe it's just out of luck; I mean question and answer thing.

Answer 8

i think of the trick is to no longer ask demanding questions. the two that or say BOOBIES someplace on your question. Oh, and much less textual content fabric they gotta respnd to the extra suitable. Like if u did no longer write any of "on each and every occasion i submit a question i basically ever get approximately 3 solutions on the main. at first i presumed it grew to become into as a results of fact i grew to become into on point one million yet somebody have been given like 50 solutions to their question interior of like 5 minutes and that that they had much less factors than me! it is rather stressful and that i grew to become into in basic terms questioning in case you ought to offer me any techniques to seize people's interest? i'm no longer a style of people who asks pointless questions like, i dunno, which toenail might desire to i paint first? or something, i rather might desire to be attentive to solutions to the questions i ask lol" that, the question woulda made in basic terms as plenty sense to me.

Answer 9

Because like only 3 people respond to it.

Answer 10

Sometimes you just get lucky. Othertimes, no one seems to be out there. Sorry, I can't help you with your other question. I haven't played it.
