text: It's important to ask for someones advice is because you want to see what that person would choose. You want to always see what he/she would want to choose instead of the other things to get a point of view of what they think would be best. For example, you ask a friend if they would rather choose American Eagle or Hollister to shop at. Your friend would go with what they think is the better option and could also explain why. Then you could ask other people the same thing and everyone would choose what they like best and you would come up with your own opinion based on some things other people told you.
