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).

Oh grow up. Why did you even bother asking her out? You should have just went to the arcade and entertained yourself you narcissistic little bastard! If this is how you treat your dates, you are in for a lifetime of balm and sore palms. Every girl can recognize that smell. You will be shunned. I'd kick your ass if I could reach.

Because some girls like games?

Well there is that, isn't there? Silly me. Dang. I hate it when my point is made for me on the backside. I concede.

I don't think the girl cared that much about winning or losing because then she wouldn't have gone to the arcade with you in the first place. She probably just wanted to have a good time which _can't_ happen if you act like a jerk like you did. It's not really about winning or losing, it's just about having the right attitude about it. I don't see what's sexy in a guy that cares THAT much about his ego that he doesn't give a shit about whether the girl is having a good time or not. Do you have sex the same way you play games?

YDI. Games are fun, but you should have been thinking about her interests too.

Meh, I'm a pretty big gamer but in my eyes video games aren't as fun with the gf as other activities. My girlfriend and I have a standing count of pool games, I'm up 1. She kicks my ass in PS3 DDR, I completely dominate her in random strength competitions (mercy, wrestling). Also, I'd like to highlight that she passed all the exams/tests for being a police officer but decided it was not a career she wanted to follow, so wrestling isn't extremely unfair, she HAS pinned me. Long story short, find a middle ground with your gf. If you're obviously going to dominate her in a game don't do it for a first date. Find something you both suck at and do it so you can laugh the whole way through.

if you're taking girls to the arcade I'm pretty sure you're not old/mature enough to be "getting laid"

did he take you to an arcade on your first date and completely dominate you repeatedly?

That's when you ditch your own pride and let the girl kick your ass for a couple games, or hell, show her how to play the game in a flirtatious way. (Unless she's like me. If people get too close and grabby I start to struggle... like elbows and stuff...It's an unfortunate reflex.)
