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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
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
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
Today, I beat my boyfriend in a video game. He promptly dumped me and told me to leave. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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).

My first date with my boyfriend was an arcade date, and well he tried his hardest, and I still beat him at almost every game. Luckily though he wasn't mad. He thought it was attractive. But really you should have not tried to win, more so just have played the games. That way she may have had a chance, as well you could have played it off as just dumb luck that you won.

An arcade? Did she in any way express intrest for games, if not i think that was kind of rude, you obviously had experiance of playing and she probably didn't. You guys could have gotten a coffe and actually got to know eachother, i'm sorry, but an arcade on the first date, well i guess you found out how that went. Sorry OP but it was your own fault.

It wasn't competitive gaming, OP. It was for fun!

You should have been less competitive! Show her how to do well, don't "dominate" her at something you clearly have more interest in!

Do you not know the rule? No matter what, let her win!

The 3 most important things in life: getting paid, getting laid and Gatorade.

You're a gamer, you weren't getting laid either way...

You could have at least been merciful in your domination...

I don't think she even cared about loosing, if she kept playing more games with you. It was probably how competitive you got. I always loose in pvp games with my fiance, but he is a gracious winner so i never mind. Plenty of arcade games aren't pvp, so why didn't you play something together a few times? Anyways this FML old af, so meh. ^_^
