Is there any justification, in losing @ a sport to my g/f.

[Stat Brother]

After routinely & soundly thrashing my girlfriend......................, at badminton.
A sport I've played for years, & play well, she suggested we play racketball.
Prior to last week I'd never played the game, &, have only played squash once before, so I wasn't expecting to do well, I lost.
We played again last night & once again I was beaten, although there was some improvement.
This hasn't stopped her walking around the house with her thumb & 1st finger pressed to her forehead, calling me a loser. (I don't know where she got that from!!).

So how long have I got before my 'I've never played before', excuses just make me sound like a whinny little girl.

Sounds like Mr Hand needs to meet Mrs Face, if you know what I mean.

About twenty minutes ago. You have a duty to get the PS plugged in and kick her arse around with a man's game - like football.

Come back when you are back in charge of your own house.

Pooftah.

 

[Yorkie]

She wants to wind you up - she's succeeded

Don't react and tell her how graciously you have accepted defeat.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Starting next week. u have had the chance to learn the game now. Are u getting completly thrashed or are putting up some sort of fight?

 

[Soul Finger]

I hadn't played badminton before until facing my girlfriend last week.

I've got a stomach injury and she beat me 4-0. She's slight and nimble and I'm big and slow.

She played as if her life depended on it but thoroughly deserved to win. We're doing table tennis next...

How about a boxing match to settle things?

Doh - well chose a game which suits you and not her. And less of the excuses. Unless the stomach injury is a protruding intestine, then you have to face the fact that you lost to a GIRL! And she will remember this for decades.....

My ex beat me at Karate... well not exactly beat me, but she knew some decent moves. It was all good when I pretended to be injured.

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

This is turning into a thread of wimps! "Pretending to be injured" - you got your butt kicked by a GIRL! No matter how many smart moves she knew, you should have been better - fight dirty - tell her that her arse looks big in a Gi - enough to distract her while you take advantage!

There were signs last night of making her work for the win.
I squandered a couple of big leads, &, made her work for some crucial points, but just didn't have enough to win a set.

As with S/F, judging by some of her facial expressions, she wanted it a lot more than me.

However long it takes, i hope you crush her. You've allowed her a glimmer of self-esteem. That must be taken back as swiftly as possible.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I say join a racketball club on the sly and beat her at her own game.

Practice makes perfect

What you don't tell us is whether you have been humble in victory during your regular thrashings (thus far) in badminton. If you are the sort of player who says things like "that was another easy victory" or "come back when you have learnt how to play the game" then fair play to your girlfriend, she deserves to bask in her glory, take it like a man. If on the other hand you are a perfect sport who is humble in victory and gracious in defeat then perhaps it is time to start looking elsewhere for your female company.

It's not quite an intruding intestine but it hinders my ability to stretch.

She was so red I thought she'd collapse. I made out that I hadn't tried that hard and was fine in defeat. I was absolutely bloody livid!

It was great seeing her bouncing around getting all sweaty though!

Ah, this is where I might lose some credibility.
My g/f is very competative, refusing to give up on any shot.
While playing badminton, I 'control the t' sending her to all 4 corners of the court, not moving myself, or chasing down anything too far away, cos...well... I don't have too.
My enjoyment comes from occasionally aiming a hard smash @ her, when she's nice & tired & unable to get out of the way.

I once beat my girlfriend at scrabble for 15 consecutive games, and I've never let her forget it

 

[Gully]

Stst, in that case you are an evil man who deserves punishment...

Chappers had this spot on in the first reply.

Five across the eyes. Its the only language they understand.

to boost my self-esteem i invite my girlfriend to play pro evo and accidently tell her the wrong controls
