The same reason that "nice guy" threads and "Why are all men jerks?" threads and the third-grade pee-pee and poo-poo threads get way more replies than anything with the least bit of intellect behind it. Lowest Common Denominator.

I still post thoughtful and logical replies but those are the ones that go unnoticed.

When I post 'fluff' then it's game on! whoa

Not all of us don't notice them.

I pay a whole lot more attention to thoughtful replies than I do to " fluff ".

this is a dating site. most people are more interested in attracting a mate than putting thought into intelligent answers to questions hon'. Humour attracts.

I agree but at the end of the day, and when the looks fade, intelligence is what we are left with in a mate. It's nice to know that is within someone from the start! winking

Humour IS intelligence.

To see the wit in a situation, is to show intelligence.

I know plenty of MENSA's who couldn't crack a funny if their lives depended on it, because they believe their IQ is the WHOLE of them.

Life out there is pretty sh*tfull for a lot of people, and humour is a way of releasing some of the tensions..if people can't see that, they may need to see a doctor and have their IQ surgically removed.

Jess...I agree with your statement for the most part.

However, when humor, and only humor is used in the vast majority of a person's posts...it occasionally may show a lack of creativity. Especially when it's the same few " funny " things said 99% of the time.

Humor is a very good thing....but try showing that you can really think without having to make a joke of something.

If even only once in a while. It still wouldn't be a bad thing.

Indeed. I roll through the topics with massive amount of smileys fairly quick, while I read all responses in good topics.

After posting a little over 7,000 (at least) questions, Why is it that the intelligent ones get less hits than ones that are simply random and thought up as I go?


Probably because most here don't think of it as fun to solve a planar trigonometry problem?

Did I miss it or was it the one that ultimately reduced to $51.00? Take it to college level mathematics and watch 'em drop off like flies.

Ummmm, you don't want to challenge Joe, trust me.
