Title: Have you ever let anyone win?
Post by: pinzach on January 07, 2012, 01:40:15 am
Maybe your kid. Maybe your downtrodden friend. Maybe your uncoordinated cousin from far away. Maybe your honey. You didn't want to play Pac-Man or Galaga all day anyway... The question is have you (do you) let anyone win at a video game? Tell why if you have and if you want to add your vote, click over to the poll on my site...

When I was 14, I let my girlfriend (now my fiancee) win one time. It was purely because I hoped it would help improve her mood so we could make out that night.  :angel:

That is a good reason to let someone win.  But you have to still look competetive... or fake being angry that things are going your way.  Cause I have never done what you described.   :angel:  (But was more that I didn't want to play all night or get her mad at me.)

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get to make out one day, you can't rush into these things, it's all a matter of patience.

I never let my kids win at anything. That way, when they do beat me (and they do), they know it's a genuine victory.

I once made the fatal mistake of playing Mortal Kombat with my mrs. I won the first round, she spiked the controller and punched me. Never again.
