I assume most stories/polls with 2 sentence descriptions are fake?

Many times I assume that most stories/polls with 2 sentence descriptions are usually fake. My reasoning for this is because many of them aren't given much thought and usually they're written in 2 or less sentences. I'm sure there are people here who genuinely need advice, but I just can't help but assume this sometimes.

What about you guys?

I usually assume that most of them are fake too. 7
I usually assume that most of them are genuine. 22
It depends, usually half and half. 24

    I presume they are genuine and answer accordingly, even though most are probably fake, regardless of length. I see it like this: while it sucks giving a serious answer to a troll who will only laugh at sincerity, it is far worse to suggest that a story is a troll when it is actually real and therefore making the OP feel like a total freak.

    Fake? What do you mean fake?
    If you can imagine it, then someone in the world has the concern if its normal or not.

    I think many new members come here from a random Google search and see the ANSWER they have always hoped for.

    Now, is it normal that I answer many likely fake posts?
    I say yes. (by the way I understand the irony non-normal fact of answering my own question within your question)

    Not always. Length alone does not determine truth vs troll.

    Some trolls can be quite winded and make up a lot of fake details for example

  • I usually put a lot of thought into my troll posts.

    I've wrote a couple stories and polls that some people said were fake (they weren't), it's fucking annoying. I've had, and have, a very interesting life, I don't need to make shit up or troll for attention like an idiot.

    Sometimes it's very obvious that someone is just trolling, and sometimes you just have to realize that people lead very different lives and what may seem impossible or bizarre to you just might be real to someone else.

  • It's not about length. Some do seem fake but keep in mind one thing may seem totally crazy and weird to us but totally normal to the other.

    I think most of the stories in general are fake. Or I hope they are. I've done my fair share in adding to the fake ones myself.

      Well see, I'm the complete opposite. I think all of them are real minus the really absurd ones.
