    Why do you post here?

    Just for general understanding, Why do you post and troll this forum?
    Sorry if this has been done already but still.
    I figured out just recently that I like being acknowledged, is that the case with anyone here.
    I guess you can say that i've started looking on this forum because maybe i want to think about other things that my current situation...

    So can you think of the reason you read these forums? Some other oppinions would be interesting.
    For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

    I can think of a few of reasons:

    1.) research... use advice here and apply it to my own relationship where I see fit

    2.) ego trip... nothing more satisfying than helping others and feeling like you've actually helped

    3.) social atmosphere... I genuinely enjoy the personalities of many of the 'regulars' who post here

    4.) passes the time... sometimes it helps to lose yourself to something other than your own troubles... this forum helps in that regard.

    Passes time, and while it's rarely needed I get feedback on relationship issues that I encounter.

    But yeah, mainly just to pass time. Like now, a few mins before going back to yet another bloody assignment.

    I don't watch TV, increases my typing speed. Makes me look busy so people don't talk to me.

    Because I get bored, and being reminded by all the bad decisions I once made by reading the crap people post here helps me remember all the work and effort I put into having a happy marriage/relationship with my wife.

    Plus, if I help one person not be a dating dumbass, then it's worth my time.

    When me and my girl broke up, I came here looking for advice...

    Since then, I come here all the time to help others out

    I have a positive association to the place because I found help here when I was in dire need.
