Why do you spend so much time on Fluther?

Asked by wizard (636 points) | asked June 4th, 2008 | 22 responses | “Great Question” (1 points) | Flag as…

Is it the debate on opinions? I find myself spending more time on Fluther when I can find a question that I can give both personal answers, and suggest
links to help support my opinion and suggest more ideas. And it could also be the collective’s way of expressing hidden and ingenious thoughts, and comparing them to your own.

I like socialising online, I lack an offline social life and I’ve no idea why but I have some weird hatred/fear towards it (an offline social life, plus those words are slightly strong hehe) but I love to learn and help others learn, to discuss, to understand, to broaden my horizons, open up my mind and such. Fluther is one of those sites that helps do this by providing a good base to meet friendly, informative people, allowing you to settle in and feel at home very quickly. Not many other places I could say that :)

So I can share my opinions and wait for others to respond and elaborate on my thoughts. I like getting feedback on my answers to know that they were good and/or helpful. I also usually have nothing else to do. Except that I should be studying for finals right about now, but whatever!

lol, jstring you have 666 Lurve, and yes, it’s nice to know whether the answers you provide are detailed enough and are sufficient for others and you can always learn new stuff by getting it wrong, which is how I see life, you can learn only by getting it wrong, if you get it right you’ve learnt nothing as it suggests you already know it ;)

I feel like I learn more when I’m on here. Because even when you can’t personaly answer a question, you get to find the answers.

I’m a little lonely, and very opinionated. So it’s fun here.

At the moment, I find it a distracting relief from my real world problems.

It all boils down to procrastination! I enjoy interacting with the collective rather doing what should be done!

I am actually ADDICTED to creating questions (to which I really wish to know the answers) and to answering the questions of others, either whimsically or seriously.

It’s fun being able to help someone discover an answer to a serious question, or to provide another (and maybe different) opinion, or just to make (if I’m lucky) somone smile or laugh out loud.
