I don’t really answer or ask specifically for the lurve. There are definitely patterns to what types of questions are popular, but I don’t think the majority of people here ask something unless they’re actually interested.
I have noticed I spend a lot longer making my answers complete, inclusive, and kind here than I would somewhere like facebook where people know a lot more about me and can derive my intentions a little more easily. Friends give you the benefit of the doubt and will laugh with you, in a room of strangers the same joke offends someone.
Probably not a bad thing overall, but it does kill the little humorous one-liners when people don’t know enough about you to know you’re not just being a dick.
yes fluther, I realize I may not be that funny, but I guess you’ll never know :P
