I am terribly sorry that you find questions on dealing with shyness, body image, platonic relationships and extreme lack of self esteem, to pick from the last three days alone, to be written by drunk, trolling and stupid people. With that sort of judgemental and entitled attitude, I am really surprised you need to ask anything at all. Surely your wide circle of friends are able to help you solve all your problems.
I don't know about the other guys, being the monster of vanity that never bothers to check, but I personally receive between twenty and fifty questions per day, many serious problems, and some seriously depressing to read. The other guys are a lot nicer, they probably get even more questions.
Of which I am supposed to select and answer precisely one. Should I chose to answer a second, or a third on a particular day, that is my choice and right. Mine. Not the editors, not yours.
There. You have had some attention. Happy now?
I hear ya. You guys can only do so much.
Right. But you never really answered her question. If you are to pick only one out of 20-50 questions, why pick the one that is obviously stupid and no one (except the author) cares about? I realize you guys can only do what you can do, but I know that I, for one, feel very disappointed when someone asks a stupid question and you (or whomever) provides just as stupid a response. Maybe that was a day they were pressed for time, I think....
That was my third question that day.
A guy has to let off steam sometimes ...
Damn, you were hard on this girl. I doubt she's narcissistic; she has a legitimate point that a lot of the time, the questions that get picked are so out there or so obviously trolls that they're not all that helpful to the rest of us. I've submitted loads of questions to this site and only one of them has ever gotten answered. That one question was the most specific, most out there question I had, and I can't imagine it really benefiting anyone else besides me. I get that you guys are busy and I love what you do most of the time, but no need to be so harsh on this poor girl.
Okay, MM, I'll give you that (it was your third question and sometimes you just wanna have a little fun and/or let off steam). I'm not criticizing you (or any of the other guys), I just really look forward to hearing all of your usually very good responses that when I see a flippant or one-liner, I get disappointed. Overall, though, all of you guys do an AWESOME job.
.....Unnecessary much?
Did you even read the question, MM? She wasn't asking why ALL of your selected questions are stupid, but why you answer stupid ones period, ever, at all, etc.
Is this judgmental? No. Does it reflect a sense of entitlement? Yes, sort of, but I don't blame the question-asker. She made a valid point. Sometimes the pointless one-liners are funny, but some are not, and the farting-in-mouth answer definitely fell into the latter category.
---
I, for one, got the wrong impression about what percentage of questions get answered when the very first question I ever asked was responded to almost immediately. Everything I've submitted since has been ignored.
OK.
In all seriousness here, and to give you some idea of how I work, because people seem to like behind the scenes peeks (the other guys have their own routines - I have never asked.), the first questions of the day I look at are the ones posted with names, as sometimes a person needs two questions worth of space to ask their question.
Then I look at the anon questions, to see if there seems to be a theme for the day, or for anything that really stands out.
Then, from my short list, I think, "Can I actually answer this question honestly and accurately, while being reasonably fair." Being easily offensively honest, which is part of my job, is a bonus here, as you can make anything offensive with practice.
Then write the answer and post it.
Don't put up with any crap, MM! You can answer whatever questions you want! This website has plenty of serious and the occasional silly one is important. You gotta mix it up once in a while. I have no problem at all with seeing the oddball thrown in. Go for it!
I was going to write in a question and say the very same thing, i have asked maybe 30 questions over the last couple months and no response to any of them! and its frustrating when stupid questions are answered. I didn't want to write in and complain because i KNEW one of you guys would answer it in some mean way. THE PEOPLE THAT ASK YOU QUESTIONS ON THIS SITE, AND GO ON IT REGULARLY ARE THE ONES WHO PAY YOUR SALARY!! without us going on this site you wouldn't get paid so try not being a jerk and answering some real questions!
You don't pay them squat. They are paid by Women's Entertainment LLC to be amusing. They're not your personal advisors. They get a bajillion questions, and they answer plenty of real ones. Don't forget this is an entertainment website, they're here to provide a dude's opinion on some stuff, and are not therapists.
Amen!
Thank you.
The love and adoration of our readers is all the payment I need. (Well, that and sandwiches.)
You get sandwiches?
I want a sandwich :(
this website would be much more boring if they didn't answer absurd questions. it's a bright spot in this otherwise depressing corner of the internet ;)
And you know for a fact that this anonymous person didn't ask some of these serious, depressing questions him/herself?
They are indirectly paid as a result of us going on this site. If no one visited this site the advertisers wouldn't pay to be on this site, hence the website wouldn't make a profit and wouldn't be able to pay these guys. The customer is always right and this company and these guys need to keep that in mind is all i am saying. that being said i love this site and go on it every day. The questions i like reading are the questions where girls sincerely feel they need a guy to answer or translate for them.
"Why do guys fart in my mouth?"
Wow...
Ladies and gents relax! its not like anyone reads or takes MM qustions seriously in the first place : )
kinda in the mood for a sandwhich now!
LOL LOL LOL LOL
I almost crapped myself, I was thinking of the "why do guys fart in my mouth" question too.
In one way, I get what he or she meant, she was just frustrated that her questions arent ever picked, the irony is that now that she doesnt have a relationship question, Shes picked LOL LOL LOLZ!!!!!!!
Ont the other hand, its true, they are NOT Dr. Phil PHD, Their only job here is to try and give their own perspective and incite on problems. But really, I am sure they get hundreds of these a day and must chose a few, maybe even 10. further more, this more then likely is NOT their only job, and they do other things with their time.... they cannot answer everything and they are just here to help. As for me, I will just keep sending the same question with the hopes that one day, SOMEONE will answer me :-)
Keep up the good work to the guys, and though I do not care for answers to questions like "Why do guys fart in my mouth", or "should i stay with a man who beats me daily, slept with my 3 sisters and 6 of my friends and talks down to me and watches porn instead of sleeping with me..."
I do understand that these things are so dumb... people WILL want to read them, keeping a balance within the site so that its NOT just depressing and serious... I mean THATS what really keeps so many people coming, the diversity. LOL
But seriously... someone answer my darn question next time I send it darn it!
ha, nice to see y all care so much but BOOBBIES..... that is all :D
go and ask your guy friends if they have ever farted in a woman's mouth. just open the night that way, and you will have a blast. they won't be expecting it, their reactions will entertain you, and you will end up having one of the funniest conversations you've ever had in your life. thats what this website has done for me, thank you for your valued insight on the culture that owns the Y chromosome.
I have to say that for the past few of hours i have been hooked by the impressive posts on this site. Keep up the great work.
Greet stuff thank yo for the information
