Since all of our Q & A's are private, they are not published. However, as you mentioned, showing some sample may help encourage others to participate. I should probably add a checkbox saying "My question may be publicized" to get permission.

Anyways, to help you get started, here is a sample question for you:

Let's say you are into slightly older/mature women. So your question would simply be something like: "Can I get some advice on dating older women?"

And you would elaborate it further by adding details: "I have not dated anyone for a while. Last week, I met this very attractive woman at a local bar who is 34. We really hit it off. We have been out once for dinner since. Even though I wanted to pay, she insisted we split the tab (mixed signals??). I would like to get romantically involved and take this up a notch but cannot tell how she feels. Any advice on how to pull this off without messing things up or coming across as a little too desperate? I am 21 and she is single."

What's the guarantee that the answer (answers?) I get for $2 are going to be better than those from a reddit thread?
There is no such guarantee. Sometimes, free services might offer much better results. Our pricing, $2 and compensation of $1 to women does not warrant time-consuming, elaborate, results. With the small charge of $2, the intention, and the goal, is to:

1)Keep spammers at bay 2)Provide a small incentive to women to participate 3)Give you a genuine, insightful, no-b.s. response 4)Do not pretend to be a professional advice service
