I sometimes feel that a post is too scattered, too many bits of unconnected information and no clear sense of what is being asked, or simply little to no effort in putting together a question with appropriate background information and context designed to elicit useful information and solve a problem. If I feel I have to do the questioner's work for them, why even bother? Especially in a forum like this which is designed to encourage guys to be high value men, it's fine to not know something, but how you handle that lack of knowledge is of critical importance.
Besides that, there are plenty of topics that I do not have expertise in or significant interest. Or I just do not think it important enough. Generally if I see a dude apply the advice given and come back and say "thanks for the detailed advice, I tried it in XXX situation and YYY happened, is that what you expected? What should I have done then?" then I'll be very disposed to help next time, or if I see him being dismissive or having unrealistic expectations then I just won't bother, because I like to put my time and effort where it will be useful, not just bash my head against a brick wall, haha.

PS Cross posted w RadEng w a similar post as often happens, haha, doubly reinforces the point to be concise and ask clear questions. IELTS essay writing section is helpful.

I'm here for two to three years since it's first open.
Great answers come to those who wait. Whoops, i don't mean those facebook BS, but really, you need to know what you looking for... Search for it. The answer can sometimes be on Girlschase, or this article, that article.
Definitely, it will be great if you find your answer here.

IE- Bboy... He has done his research(blog & forum) and provides lots of details to go with his questions that make it really easy to understand and answer. In turn you will notice he gets a lot of advice back.
The more you invest, the more others will invest back.

Funny things start to happen when you get really good at this stuff and your rank reflects it; many people start to PM you questions instead of posting. Many guys are helping out with PMs instead of posts because most questions that have been asked have already been answered.
Other times, it's an assessment of the post. Too long winded, too scattered, or demanding too much/impossible answers leads me away from the posts.
Furthermore, the higher your rank and the better with women you are then chances are you'll be out with women instead of behind a computer screen. I'm young, just shy of being able to legally drink, and because of that I have time on my hands and can log on and read through some posts and write up some answers.
As for the higher ups that I'm in contact with outside of GC; the general feeling is that most questions have already been answered. The new guys who come on the site share similar stories to all of us, ask the same questions we did, and get the same answers we were given. There's no need for us Tribal Elders to come out of the woodwork to answer questions that have been beaten to death already.

If I haven't experienced xyz thing several times I keep quiet. There is no point in making a fool out of myself. So many times I've seen a post that was interesting and I didn't have solid field experience. I think that's the major reason more guy's don't help more.
I love helping out here...but you know, better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
