is chess better than a girlfriend?

NO but I think helps improve clarity of mind and that kind of chess thinking can also be applied to social skills to help with meeting and getting along with potential partners. But then I am at low level, maybe it's a lot more enjoyable and rewarding with higher skills. Hard to believe could be better than romance though.

Depends on what kind of mating you are looking for.

One is animalistic, the other is elegant. I prefer elegance.

I've been praying to our Chess Gods to couple me with a Sweet Chess obsessed Girl, but so far my prayers haven't been heared yet, but i keep having Hope lol xD,

Same here. But most Chess players are guys, so you'll probably face a lot of competition if you meet a girl like that.

Another consideration is meeting a girl who isn't into Chess, and getting her interested in Chess. That probably wouldn't work though. Most girls just don't seem to be interested in Chess at all.

I have encountered some possible mates here tho but many are just to far away to be feesible, recently met one who lived close by talked for 2 weeks all seemed to be going well until she bombed me with the news she/he is a trans. I was so sad bro, thought finally it happened but no

"until she bombed me with the news she/he is a trans" lmao, no good. All you can do is keep trying and try to keep meeting people.

I don’t even know why I’m here.

im supposed to be in off topic forums.

Anyways, here’s my opinion:

A girlfriend is better than chess, why? Because, chess is a game that makes your critical thinking better but having a girlfriend can increase your social skills.

also, there way more ways to increase your critical thinking.

YES I have been waiting to say this

And there are also other ways to increase your social skills sybau

Going to lots of tournaments can increase friendiships: Source link provided below

Chess is also associated with emotion regulation, which is a term that consists in the ability to process, influence, and control our emotional state. Blanch and Llaveria (2021) pointed out that chess players scored higher in expressive suppression compared with the general population. Expressive suppression is a form of emotion regulation that involves conscious, voluntary inhibition of the outward manifestation of an ongoing emotional response (Gross, 2013).

Aside from developing cognitive skills, chess also develops children’s social skills. A benefit for children of playing games with rules consists in developing social aspects, such as taking turns, learning fair play, self-respect and respect for others, understanding others’ perspectives, and developing empathy. Joseph et al. (2016) underline the idea that chess might serves as a bridge in educational contexts, bringing together children of different ages, races, and genders in an activity they can all enjoy. Chess might help build individual friendships and team cohesion when children compete against other schools.

Anyone can get a girl friend; however, to be good at chess, you must have good intelligence
