Simple questions
The ones you always wanted to ask but were afraid to, and those you do ask but can never get a clear answer to
The World keeps getting patched, rebalanced, and changes at a fast pace. Much of what used to work in the previous versions is no longer obvious.
Many of us have been given little or no opportunity to understand how this new world is meant to work. As we try to make sense of it, others judge us harshly for not getting something that often was never explained to us in the first place.
As the world becomes increasingly polarised, things that are obvious to us are a complete mystery to others. Sometimes it seems like they don’t want to know. Other times, we ask, but are immediately made to feel ignorant and horrible for it.
The Man’s Compass is where you can ask without fear and judgment. There are no stupid questions. All will be treated seriously and get an honest answer.
Asking
If you would like to ask a question, simply write it in the comments. I will either try to answer it myself or find somebody who I think is well-suited to offer an answer.
Questions must be respectful and inviting of an honest answer. Refer to our mission statement for guidelines.
Anyone can ask a question, regardless of gender. If you would like answers from members of a specific gender, simply mention that when asking.
Answering
If you would like to answer one or more of the questions, get in touch or submit your answer as you would any other text.
Answers must be respectful and aim to inspire growth, not punish ignorance. Refer to our mission statement for guidelines.
Anyone can answer a question, regardless of gender. Answers by members of a particular gender are particularly welcome when the question states so.
