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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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).

If you took her to an arcade on what must have been an early date for you two, and she refused to talk to you after, you must both be incredibly young, so I imagine 'getting laid' wasn't really an option anyway.

YDI- why would a girl want to play video games with someone who purposely beats her- if you wanted to look good you should have at least let her win a couple rounds so she could have enjoyed herself. It's not a competition- it's supposed to be a fun date- but apparently you never figured that out. And guys wonder why girls don't like to play video games with them most of the time- it's cuz of people like you.

As a girl, I absolutely hate it when guys just let me win at things, especially without me knowing that they're letting me. I can't say I enjoy being mercilessly dominated either, especially if I get beat so fast that I don't have a chance to get my footing and improve. There is definitely a middle ground to find.

What's up with people being so serious about the games? Feeling bad for losing or not playing the game fairly and whatnot isn't the problem. It's a D-A-T-E! You're suppose to focus on her and if she's enjoying herself. Not to say you shouldn't be having fun to, but you've obviously neglected how she feels! YDI for being an ass.

Well, it sounds to me like she was pissy about not winning, not that she wasn't having fun... which, yeah, she obviously wasn't, but it was because she wasn't winning. If she needs to win all the time to "have fun" well.. OP needs a new girlfriend. If it WAS just about not having fun, I'm sure she would have had her little hissyfit long before then. Also, most chicks I've talked to would hate it if the guy's focus was completely on about how she's feeling. A friend of mine even said "If he keeps asking about stupid stuff like that, then it just seems to tell me that he doesn't care about me really, he just cares about how good a job he's doing on the date."

On another note, your girlfriend's a puss for not being able to handle losing. If you're not good, you're not good. Who the hell wants to get a free pass? That's bullshit and kind of shows you think she can't handle playing a stupid game.... which apparently she can't, but that's besides the point. It's a ******* game.

There's a great game where the girl usually wins and everybody's happy. It's called: COUNT THE ORGASMS I can lose 10-1 and be proud of myself. If I lose 15-2, that is even better, and if I get trounced 25-3, that's a great night. Shutouts are bad, real bad. I can look the girl in the eye, keep my head(s) held high and say, "I did my best, but came up short, er, average, totally average!" This game wasn't invented in the book, 1984, but the slogan is "Losing is winning."
