Title: Should i stop beating my g/f ?
Post by: knighty on April 30, 2013, 23:13:19 PM
I keep absolutely destroying her, like 4 times a week. Afterwards, she locks herself in the bathroom and cries. One time she cried for 3 hours.





I am getting sick of this but she keeps asking me to PVP against her in Halo and she takes it really seriously. Should i let her win?

Don't let her win, if she finds out you let her win and the reaction can be even worse. I played badminton once with a girl who really wasn't very good... she was getting a bit annoyed, frustrated etc... I started slacking off a bit, let her not lose too much the next game then let her just win the game after by a small margin and the game after that.... she was quite chuffed at having 'warmed up a bit' etc... though she then started getting cocky and pointed out that the next game was the decider... I proceeded to thrash her in that game.... it then became obvious that I'd deliberately let her win a few... I got the silent treatment on the walk home and we never played badminton ever again.

Sometimes you have to put them in their place. Thrash her at every opportunity, let her be reminded who is in charge and that her place is in the kitchen/bedroom + the most linear path in between.

women are strange creatures

I was on a first date with a girl who wanted to arm wrestle me (it was years ago, we were young)... she weighed about 8 stone... I didn't know what to do so just held my arm straight up while she tried... she said I wasn't every strong, I said I'm not trying yet... and she went in a huff for the rest of the night! :(

I must echo the comments of my esteemed colleagues, letting her win will only end badly.

There is a fine line to walk between not letting her win (she will be patronised), and not making it look so easy that she feels humilliated.

When I used to fence people who werent as good as me, I'd take the opportunity to brush up my basic technique, not doing anything fancy but just simple moves which they should know and would have a fair shot at countering. They'd still loose, but not by as far as if I'd brought my A game, and I got a basic skills session, everyone wins. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent at Halo.

There is, it's called only using melee or other limited techniques. Makes it more fun but more humiliating too...

deliberately use weapons which you know aren't your strongest suit? ie limit yourself to sniper rifles if you're normally a close in with a shotgun kind of guy or vice versa?

I've never played Halo so I don't know the weapons.

Dude you need to sit her down and talk. Relate to her. Let her know it's understandable that she can't keep up with you in Halo if she's busy most of the time making the tea, doing the dishes, ironing your shirt ready for the pub, cooking dinner, and mopping your brow when you're tired of Halo.

Then when she punches you in the face she'll feel better about it all.

Knighty. This is why I miss this forum.

Nighty, you don't have to tell everyone about our first date. I'm carp at arm wrestling.
