I hate when people give me a weird look when I say I play chess. Sometimes they call you weird, and a nerd. I get really offended. Tell me what you think...

Playing chess isn't weird. Reading Sci-fi books is.

ignoring them is insufficient. you have to at least call them a retard and tell them to f-off, or else they will continue to see you as inferior to them in the dominance hierarchy and will get others to view the situation in the same way

Why are you arguing with me?

because you are wrong

How old are you?

none of your f-cking business

Well, as someone who has been around for 30 years, the kind of strategies you suggest do not work.

ok beta cuck

Claiming dominance doesn’t equal dominance.

dude. r u legit f-cking retarded? LMAAAAOOOOO

Using cuss words and diminutive terms on other people doesn’t make you any cooler. And having a very long LMAO doesn’t make me feel attacked. Grow up.

Complaining about him without pushing back isn't making him win any less hard.

...Except he's not winning.

Yeah, cuz he already won.

Explain how he won, because I didn't even see him present an argument.

OK CHILL, LET ME COUNT HOW MANY TIMES YOU CLICKED THE "QUOTE" button! Lol - 13 TIMES

I'm reserved.

I'm still waiting for you to explain how he won this.

Keep waiting.

It seems you are unable to come up with an explanation. I don't particularly enjoy wins by default though, so I'll wait a while longer.

You already lost.

Oh? Do go on: I'm failing to see how I've lost to someone who's failed to present an argument.

No argument was required, you've yet to make and qualify any claims. I thought you weren't going to accuse me of being YGNR because it would make you look immature, the same principles apply here. Just give it a rest, young man.

I'm not accusing you of anything: you've yet to back up your original claim that Utopia247 won the debate. I'm asking you to elaborate on that point of view.

That's like taking the position "I don't have a chesscom account" and asking me to prove otherwise if I claim you do. If you can't figure out why Utopia won or why you lost so far as trying to argue otherwise with me, then I don't have sympathy for you.

I give up. This is not me saying I've lost; it's me saying I'm no longer continuing this discussion, because I cannot win. Not that I could have, in the first place.

I’ve never met a person who gave me a weird look because I liked chess... And I can assure you that most Americans do not look down on people for their interest in the game. In fact, I’ve met many people who were eager to learn more about the game.

If someone seriously picks on you for playing chess (regardless of what place you live in), chances are, he/she is not a very good person or is just having a bad day.

Sci-Fi books fans are the weirdest. Philosophy and Religion followers are better than them. I watched a few Sci-fi movies and didn't rewatch them.
