obviously there's probably a difference of opinion if you're actually good or not but yeah, answer away

nope.
But if they get supercompetitive and enjoy beating me, they get no love.

It depends on what game we're playing. If we're playing rock band or mario kart or wii tennis, it's on. But on all other games i have no idea how to play, so I expect them to win.

Don't let them win. That's some ol' bullshit. Just don't be a poor winner!

@oimoi i'm only asking because SOME GIRLS (someon this site even... phro) have brought it up to me and say they'd like to earn a FALSE VICTORY
@tovs yeah i'm totally not like that, even with my buddies to be honest, unless they shit talk fist

No, but it's cute when guys *pretend* to let you win to hide the fact that you're better at a game than they are.

ooooh good question, my problem is i was always really bad at making it look realistic when i let one of my exes win, and she'd get really pissed, but i felt bad smashing her all the time.

It's not so much that I want you to let me win but if I have no idea what the hell is going on (*ahem* SUPER SMASH BROS *ahem*) then, jeeze, factor in a learning curve already!

I usually avoid playing competitive games with girls. Largely because I can't seem to control how super competitive I can be. So I keep it strictly cooperative.

Throwing the game is reason enough to be disowned in our family.
My game doesn't get any better if I'm not learning. The best way to learn is to get my ass kicked.

When I play video games with Manuel, I don't have to let her win.
She butchers me on her own.
I'm convinced that if I WROTE the game, she'd still spank me like a little punk.
Manuel said, (51 days ago)
That is true. Man, I miss blowing up Nazis on your big ol' fat projector thing... how big was that again?

Man, my ex used to KILL me at Mario Kart. Her and her entire family were Mario Kart GURUS and would mercilessly spank me and make me feel terrible and then she'd say mean things to me about it afterwards.
She was kind of a bitch!

@kirsty THAT'S THE ABSOLUTE WORST
i have a buddy and his girlfriend and when we play Smash Brothers they refuse to attack each other! It's so bad they even aplogize to each other when they accidentally hit each other. On Hyrule temple (for those that know their smash brothers) i retreated to the bottom (the other guy playing was already eliminated in a stock game) and left them at the top and they continued to NOT ATTACK EACH OTHER. And when i ask "hey guys wanna switch it to 2 v 2" they always say NO, fuck that shit!

No way. I want the satisfaction of knowing I beat him fair and square.

I second the button mashing technique and even though Im no good I talk shit like nobody's business. The only ones I'm good at are the Mario games.

I suck, but I don't ever want to be let win. Be a man, kick my ass.
The idea that I could ever beat anyone at a video game is so far removed from reality that I can't even begin to answer this.
Sven PartyMaan said, (51 days ago)
AHAHAHAHAHA TWIGBY YOU ANUS I was just kidding! I fucking SUCK at video games so even if you tried to let me win, I'd probably still lose. Sigh.
@seemingly: maybe if someone creates a "Stupid Wordplay Hero" game. I might have a chance at that.

i don't really play video games, but i can see how it could be cute once. i don't want to be patronized, but if he's kicking my ass 100% maybe i would like to win once.
Sven PartyMaan said, (51 days ago)
i'm gonna keep practicin', and one day I'll kick his ass. grumblemumble

My sisters could also annihilate me at Tetris, but those are the only games girls have thoroughly kicked my ass at.
ilikedginger said, (51 days ago)
I have always been told Tetris is a girl's game. I am really good at it, too.
ilikedginger said, (51 days ago)
We like everything in it's place? I'm not even like that, but I do love seeing things go where they belong.
flyingfishstick said, (51 days ago)
My oldest and youngest sisters were always the best at Tetris. I'll bet they could kick any guy's ass that challenged them.
Sven PartyMaan said, (51 days ago)
i love tetris. i used to be really really really ridiculously good at tetrinet. it was funnnnnnn.

At least occassionally. My boyfriend plays Brawl with me sometimes, and then I get super frustrated.
He's got to make it believeable though.
I am a superb button masher. I don't need his pity.
