I've asked multiple questions of every guy on this site over the past several months. None of them have been answered by any of the guys. Instead, they're answering questions from twelve year olds about things like, "how do I talk to a boy who I really like?" How about some more substantive questions from real readers?

Are you blind, self obsessed or just incredibly stupid?

12 year olds aren't readers? Shy people aren't worth answering? People who have lost weight aren't? People dealing with depression? Why, exactly, should their questions be subordinate to yours? What makes your questions so special? Why should we prioritise you over anyone else, all of whom want their questions answered just as much as you do. Entitled, much?

Looking back a month or so, that is nearly 900 questions, I can't see a single question with your name on it in my list.
We answer questions which we find personally interesting, and ones which can have some humor extracted from them if at all possible. That is our job. What we actually get paid for. Not being a free alternative to therapy.

If you are that desperate for attention and answers, hire a therapist and get your obvious sociopathy treated. Stop being so damned cheap.

On balance, though, I am going for stupid. No one is that self obsessed.

I must agree that although 12 year olds are indeed readers, I don't believe they are your Target audience. Well, I would hope not.. considering all the sexual talk. When you use their questions, it really turns off the adult readers. There are plenty of forums available for teeny boppers.. I just don't agree that this one should be included.

No, the target audience, as was explained to me by my handler (poor woman, I really don't appreciate her enough - thanks for everything Marina!) before I took on the job, is women. Though we are read by both men and women, ages 12 to about 70 and accept questions from anyone. Hence the lack of swearing and graphic descriptions in the answers. Because we know that early teens read us.

Remember when you were young, just starting this very scary "noticing the other sex are different and dating thing?" Remember how horribly confused you were? With no one to ask? After all, puberty and the development of an intense desire for privacy go hand in hand, and they can hardly ask their peers without risking ridicule.
We do. So, once in a very long while, we'll give someone young a warning. A bit of advice on what to avoid. What to look for. A map, if you like, to help them navigate the shoals and whirlpools of puberty. From guys who have been there. Done that. The T-shirt has finally dissolved in the wash.
Or we just use their question as a basis for a general theme answer or a one liner.

Everyone is the center of their own universe. Ego demands it. Most people grow up to realise this. That they are not as important to others as they are to themselves. Some, sadly, do not. This questioner is one of them.

If NOT ONE of guys is choosing to answer her questions, it's a good chance it's not them, it's her. Or rather, her questions. Also, it's not real smart to be making demands of folks working for a free entertainment website. Just sayin'.

I completely agree Liz. One complaint that I have seen some the Guyspeak writers state, is how often they get the same questions,e.g.: does he like me?, what does it mean when he says he doesn't want to be in a long-term relationship?, etc. These questions are very self explanatory, and after a while can be very dull.

So it might actually be your questions. Sometimes they can be too intense for a lighthearted entertainment website, or too specific, only relevant for you and not the whole Guyspeak community as a whole.

I really wish you luck, in getting your answers, answered.

I disagree entirely with the asker. This site makes me laugh and think all at the same time, and I've found it so helpful progressing into the grown-up dating world. It's like my own personal handbook, filled with solutions and answers to every scenario and situation the male species might present you with. The guys have even answered my questions before, with their signature humor, straight-forwardness and basic intelligence.

Don't ever change, boys.

No

"I can't see a single question with your name on it in my list."

I thought this question was anonymously asked.

So "Anonymous" question aren't really anonymous....?

Jlove

M, when someone who doesn't have an account on this site, asks a question, a person icon pops up next to the question. However, when a user asks a question and doesn't click anonymous, the icon doesn't appear. So MM, is able to to see on his end, who is asking the question.
