Asking "do you agree with my opinion X" feels good in the moment: the other person is more likely to agree, as agreeing feels good.

Asking "what do you think" without pre-supplying your take is riskier. But it's worth it, because you get more information, which is far more valuable than feeling good in the moment.

My opinion, you’re a genius. However, now time to take it to the next level and find a girl, and have a family. Only then, once you can separate yourself from others, can you understand, and take it to the next level…the world is different with kids…you don’t only want yo do good, you feel MUST do good
