How to choose a category for a question in yahoo answers?
If you have the newest 'Ask a question' format (some do, others do not), you cannot choose a category until AFTER the question has been posted. The newer format only requires the asker to type the question and click 'Submit'. The question will be automatically categorized and posted to that category based on the wording of the question. If you don't want the category which was chosen for you, click 'Edit Category' above the question and select the one you prefer. You can change the category as many times as you wish.
Why will yahoo answers only give me 140 characters to ask a question with? I see other people ask longer questions.?
they have changed the Ask feature slightly and it is confusing because the option to add details is not automatically visible under where you type the main header - you have to enter your question where you normally would but then you have to click on Details to get this feature - that is where you add to your main question by clicking on Expand, this makes the ask box fill up your whole screen instead of dealing with that tiny box on the right side but it does not mean you have more characters to work with if you want the Ask feature to be as similar to the old way as possible, BEFORE typing any text in the box, click on Details, and then click on Expand, which appears in the bottom left corner as you can see from my screenshot, the Ask box now looks very similar to what it was before they made these unnecessary changes that have caused many to misuse the answer box to add details to their questions ***the other change is that you can't choose a category while you are doing up your question so after you submit, if you are not happy with the category that is chosen for you, click on Edit Category (above your Q) it only gives you a few categories, so if the one you want is not in that short list, click on All for a list of All Categories (the word All is just above the suggested list) after you submit your Q including added details, you can click on the pencil icon to add an Update but avoid using the answer box to add details or updates as this is only for when you have found an answer to your own Q after you submit it because you can no longer delete your Q if it has even one answer, Y allows you to add an answer yourself as you can't delete a Q you no longer need to get answers to
Why do a lot of Iranian men grow out their pinky nails?
Long ago, I was told that the long pinky nails were used to clean out the ears. Not sure if it's true, but it makes sense.
WHY do all my questions get marked "gay bisexual lesbian transgendered"?
Okay so I'll ask a question, about like, goldfish. Or dating. Or college. Maybe politics once in a while. It ALL gets marked as "gay bisexual lesbian transgendered", and I have to change it. I'm not gay, and I've asked like ONE question related to gay people. What is this nonsense? Anyone else have this? (for the record, this one was automatically marked as LGBT as well...but I guess I used the phrase so many times it's not really surprising..)
Why is it that really nice guys stay single and never get a girlfriend?
Probably I am a best person to answer this. My story was e exactly at similar, I was a very nice and sweet guy who would help and talk very nicely to everyone. And there was a girl whom I liked very much but she didn't knew. We were good friends and often used to hang out after our classes. She always used to tell me I was very sweet . One day I proposed but she refused and put me in friend zone. I was depressed so I decided to study this matter. What was it that kept me away from getting a girlfriend. Then I found out that being nice is useless. A girl wants a blend of all stuff. She wants a guy who is rough and tough, with attitude and who Is bad for others but good only for her. Girls want a boyfriend whom they can constantly correct. Also girls are totally attracted if you have other talents like playing an instrument, dancing, Any sport etc. So I decided to give it a try developed some of above attributes, I decided to stop being nice that doesn't mean I was always not nice. Talked to girls with some attitude that I have my own life and I am enjoying it better than you. Developed a hobby of playing guitar, joined gym to get in shape, started doing stage shows. During all this i completely ignored the girl I had proposed. After all this, & after one of my performance at college, I got a text, it was her - which read 'nice performance, loved it.' I replied thanks. Immediately next day I received a call from her saying she wanted to meet but since now I was not the same guy I gave some excuse and didn't meet her. This happened one more time. I was getting a feeling that se is becoming desperate to see me. It was almost an year we had not met. Then 3rd time I agreed and met, when I met her I found her exactly opposite to what she was before, she trying to impress me, flirting with me. Being extra nice and caring. To be frank I found it weird. Then few days went and she herself said I remember you had proposed me, and she was sorry that she refused because she was not ready for relationship. But now she has decided that she wants to be with me. I guess my story explains everything now. Remember girls like adventure along with security. If you can do that. You are good to go.
Trevor, why are gay men so successful?
Gay men by and large - historically speaking - tend to be single and unattached more often and don't have a family to feed so they have a very high disposable income so they can appear well turned out and well to do and generally speaking they have more of an artistic flair which will translate over to having good taste in clothes food wines theatre, opera. interior design etc. Certainly when I was growing up gay men tended NOT to be in well paying jobs generally as there was an *opt out* mentality in London whereby a large percentage of us realised we were living in a subculture - almost bohemian - living out of suitcases and always on the move. Kinda. Not so sure in the final analysis gay men are in fact so successful - it might just appear that way. EDIT as to the testosterone comment above - gays have the same levels as straight men and I have mine checked twice yearly and my levels are high and if you think gay men aren't sexually charged - think again.
