text: For my second reason is, we all have different opinions and experiences. This will mostly apply to anything that has to do will needing recommendations, what you need to know about getting a recommendation is, no one has the same taste. An example of this could be that you're really into videogames, however, on the contrary, your friends doesn't value videogames as much as you do. Asking him for an opinion, is the equivalent of asking a cat whats it's favorite sport is, not to say that his opinion doesn't matter, theres something for everyone. However it may not be as strong as someone else you know who is into games like you, this will help you get a stronger look on the recommended.
