Today, I took a cute girl out to an arcade date, and mercilessly dominated her in every game there, to the point she refused to talk to me afterwards. Gamer Pride: 1 - Getting Laid: 0. FML

Today, I got my girlfriend to play Smash Bros Brawl with me. As it was her first time, I set up handicaps to give her at least a shot at winning. She won, quite handily. A little irritated at this, I took off the handicaps and tried again. She beat me even faster. FML

Dodging a bullet

Today, at a Con, I saw a girl in an impressive cosplay of a character from one of my favorite video games. I complimented her on her costume and got a picture with her. Later, my girlfriend called me a cheating creep and broke up with me. FML

Today, I find video games very unattractive and unmanly. I told a great guy that he had to choose between me and his video games, and he immediately told me he chose video games, then asked me to leave. Whatever, loser. FML

Today, it was supposed to be a big date day for my girlfriend and I. She really loves a specific video game, so I did what I thought was special on it. I learned the hard way that doing so ruined the entire day for her over the video game. FML

Impressive dating strategy

Today, my date took me to some sort of comic book/computer convention. I think he was trying to impress me with his online reputation, but it didn’t come across as tech suave, it was more nerd pathetic, the kind that makes vaginas go dry faster than a sand enema. I went home alone, bored. FML

Outclassed

Today, I had a gym date with a girl from Tinder. As soon as I saw her loading up the 45s, I knew I was in trouble. She could squat and leg-press over 100 lbs more than me on both. Somehow she let me come over that night anyway. I challenged her to a wrestling match to try and gain back my pride, then she made me tap out. FML

Today, I won a game of Monopoly against my girlfriend. She reacted by sweeping the board off the table, storming out the front door, and mowing down my mailbox driving away. FML

Today, my girlfriend beat me at ping pong, twenty to three. She said I let her win because I don't respect her, then stormed out of the room. I'm just really bad at ping pong. FML

Today, I invited a few of my co-workers over to play video games. Within an hour, my wife had gotten drunk, grabbed my controller, told me to "get back in the kitchen", and described to everyone in blood-chilling detail how she took her first boyfriend's virginity. FML

You took her to an arcade?! so u could beat her at all the games...? YDI

I am going to say YDI. You shouldn't have "mercilessly dominated" her in the games; you should have let her win a couple at least (IMO).

dude. as a gamer girl, let me be the first to say that she wasn't worth it. kicking her ass at games is hardcore and totally hawt. h a w t. if she had kicked your ass, you'd be all over her, eh? seriously, if she's not into the stuff yer into, she isn't worth your time.

the thing is, the girl was probably pissy because she wasn't winning. as a gamer girl, i have beaten many of my guy friends and (now) ex boyfriends at the games, even if it was the first time i picked it up. so it's not about whether the girl had played the games or not before, or even if she was a gamer. anyone can learn how to press A and move a joystick. the girl acted like a five year old throwing a hissy because she didn't win. therefore, it's an FYL unless he was doing an annoying victory dance after every game.

This could either be FML or YDI depending on the details If you took her to the arcade just to show her how much better than her you are at video games, then YDI. However, if you were both just playing for fun and she was just bad at it, then it was her fault for being such a sore loser.

You sound like a total loser, you're lucky you even had a date to begin with.

To all the idiots that said this guy is a loser, shut the **** up. He IS a loser, but not for taking his date to an arcade. He's a loser because he didn't cater to the girl's needs. Ask your girl/guy what THEY want to play, and if you "mercilessly dominate her", simply say "good game" and move on. If she expresses a desire to get better, offer your services, don't troll her. If not, move on. Don't act like an ass. It's ok to be competitive, but not overly so. ...take this from a guy who's girlfriend regularly kicks his ass in Capcom v. SNK 2. (She uses C-Groove Bison, King, and Chun-Li, BTW, in case you're interested, whereas I use C-Groove Terry, Ken, and King.)
