Do you have trouble choosing a 'best answer'?

Question

Sometimes I find choosing a best answer to be extremely difficult. Because I love multiple answers.

Just curious if anyone else has the same 'problem'... or if it's just me. :]

Answer 1

sometimes. but i usually want the 3 pts lol

Answer 2

Not really, I just pick the best one I find, if multiple that are very close , then I pick the first one

Answer 3

No but that's only cause I don't really ask questions.

But I think you just set yourself up.. you're probably gonna have trouble with this one :P

Answer 4

sometimes i do. but most of the time i tend to

choose informative and at the same time funny answers.

Answer 5

when they give good answers yeah otherwise it's easy for me

Answer 6

Yes! I dare you to pick me. :D  

Answer 7

i do,

everyone (usually) gives a good answer. its hard to pick just one

edit: i usually pick the person with the most thumbs up

Answer 8

YES!!  I always worry I'll hurt all the other answers feelings!!  :@)

Answer 9

I do all the time! I just pick the first best answer

Answer 10

haha me too :]

i feel bad if there's two people who've got good answers.

i just leave it in limbo for eight months until y!a are so angry with me that they delete the question.

lol.

Answer 11

lol well its been a while....i havent asked a question because i got no idea wat to ask....

but yea choosing a best answer is kinda hard

Answer 12

Aww. Your indecisiveness is adorable.

Answer 13

Yeah it is hard sometimes, it would be good if it could let you choose multiple best answers! :)

Answer 14

i have no trouble lol. I usually pick the best answer with thumbs up. if they have thumbs down and up, I pick the one with the most thumbs up, and less thumbs down. rarely do I pick an answer without doing that. when that happens, I pick the one I agree with most or is most helpful.

Answer 15

I've had the same problem and if I see multiple ones that are equally good I usually just go with the longest answer because it shows they put the most care and effort into what they wanted to say.

Answer 16

Absolutely! You are not alone. ;)

I'm a bit weird, though. Because sometimes, I have up to three different people that I think deserve the BA. While at other times, I am like "sh*t, I don't think ANY of these replies are good enough!".

Also, I'm a regular over at R&S. So whenever I ask a question there, I must choose whether I want to give the BA to a person who agrees with me, or whether I want to give it to one who disagrees, but gives me good reasons for why that is the case. I do 50 - 50, usually.

..Complicated stuff, huh? ;)

Answer 17

Yes! I hate the thought of hurting someone's feelings. Especially when I have to choose between contacts. But at the same time I don't want to turn it over for vote and then have an unknown choose for me.

Answer 18

Yes. I am often conflicted on either choosing the humorous answer or the serious "good" answer.  

Answer 19

I was just about to ask the same exact question; it's actually why I came on just now. But usually yes, especially if everyone said close to the same thing, i wish their could be more than one best answer.

Answer 20

Hey!!!!! ERICA! wow totally haven't heard from you in FOREVER. How have you been??? All well I hope. So Erica, to answer you question I just look to see if someone who goes by the name of "girl" has answered my question and then I just choose her as my best answer.

Answer 21

YES!!!! Usually there about 2 or 3 answers that are excellent, and then I can't decide. In that case I may go for whoever has the most thumbs up, or whoever wrote in first.

I hate it when that happens. I wish there was a way you could chose more that 1 answer and maybe divide the points between them.

Answer 22

Yep, I try to go by most rational, best explained, and then whoever answered soonest if it's a tie in some way...

Answer 23

yeah but usually i just don't pick an answer.      P.S. Are you by any chance erica neilson? you look like her, this girl from my school but i can't tell because the picture is so far away haha, but i can tell your very pretty :).........haha don't worry ericas very pretty, but shes 14 and idk how you are, you look 14 but idk, anyway answer my questions please haha <33

Answer 24

i do. i'm bad about it too, i hardly ever pick cause i can't choose, so it just goes to vote, but ti's like NOOOOOOOOOOO, i didn't want that person to win....

they need to let u narrow it down before it goes into voting mode.  

Answer 25

Haha no.

Sometimes when I ask a question I know what the answer is. I just want peoples opinions about what they think. I usually don't change my mind but if they changed my mind about my question then I pick them because it made more sense to me.

But If I ask a question like  " What's your favorite color? " then I pick the most humorous one :P

Answer 26

If there are two good best answer worthy, I would just go on their profile and give a best answer to the one with least best answers.... =]  Pssh or if a person never had a best answer before, I will definitely pick that person
