I Have Something to Say

I will never understand why people on here ask for advice for important decisions in their lives regarding marriage, love, finances etc. Come on, why would any serious person make an important decision based on advice from people they never met or dont even know? Can any person be so lonely and bereft of friends and trusted family members that they need counsel from strangers? Or is it that just the unquenchable desire for attention?

I don't think they act on it. They welcome ideas from others. Also, because people are strangers here and have no vested interests, one can expect unbiased opinions. Believe me, the no. Of opinions one can get here is far more and varied than what can get in real life...

@Unlearn: I also tend to think that they dont act on it. But to assume that strangers have unbiased opinions is wishful thinking.

@Dreammmer: We all have biased opinions but if you ask my advice on something, it will not be biased against or for you. That way it is unbiased...

@Unlearn: Even your answer to this post is biased, because you are a human being and there is more that influences your reaction than you might be aware of. Same hold true for me.
