Trying to understand women's logic towards chess

Sort:

Alot of times women see chess or playing chess is a waiste of time , I mean they completely look down at it ! Like if you were drinking or smoking cigarettes this kind of thing not exactly that bad, but still. They think probably think of it as more like Lego pieces moved around,they don't even realise the deepness of the game, of each decision made behind each move,how much stress their is,stamina,control,self control,emotions,intuition etc.... they simply see it as child playing with Lego pieces simple and plain, it's like they are looking thru goggles.

I mean sure they think it's a waiste of a time etc.. but I can say the same thing about cooking that is a waiste of time (and they spend way more time in the kitchen, then us playing the game), if I were use their logic with chess in comparison with cooking I also can say cooking you just need to know how to chop , fry and eat simple job is done , you ate and every day is same waiste of time cooking, how about depth picking all ingredients, thinking, combining ingredients, flavours, timing etc.... same thing

I can see both and understand sides of it , but it's seems women only see one side?

I think restricting the group as women isn't really accurate. Anyone who doesn't understand chess can look down on it. I believe it is best to let them know you find there are much more in chess and you would like to be recognized so.

Everyone knows that women don't like chess, sure their is some but majority hates it's just a fact

You could drop the "towards chess" and still have the same issue.

I would say 50% hates it and 50% neutral thinking it's an ok sport or thinking activity to play once in a while something like that

...and a lot of times I see misogynistic posts on these forums

I understand how you feel. There are significant female population who does not understand what men do. I think it's also fair to say that just like them we don't understand why they can't understand our love of what we are doing. We don't really need to understand their "logic" (If it were a logic, we would have already understood), we just need to live with it and coop with it

Men and women are very different. But we (should) accept what we don't understand because both men and women like company, emotional support and getting laid. It's very beneficial to mental wellbeing.

This topic is dumb. Stop being dumb.

I was going to look up the definition of troll, but then I realized that too is "a waiste of time".

My parents believe it is a waste of time as well. The question of whether or not it has any beneficial effects on developing children has not been answered and I don't know of any other useful and unique merits the game has to offer. It is a hobby like drawing, video games, or anything else and is just a source of entertainment. It is a waste of time as much as any other hobby.

Most men think chess is stupid / boring / a waste of time.

 I think you think about what they think too much.
