Chicks dig two things, money and kilts, if you don't have the legs for a kilt get rich playing chess, the chicks will find you, that's what happened to Nakamoongi.  Maggie Carlsen was beta until he changed his name to Angus M'Carlsen and started wearing a kilt, he went instantly from a 1700 rated incel to a chad super grandmaster practically overnight, try it for yourselves.

I've practiced mountain bike for many years, yet I wouldn't wear shorts, even during the summer in La Mancha, if my life was depending on it; let alone a skirt, for Gawd's sake!

I think women like to work for the society  and it is certainly not possible by playing chess.

So, you are a quitter who likes quitting whenever a tsunami arrives instead of  mingling with your boss convincing that you can try do better  next time even after the compromised   salary your boss offered you after your demand for another chance.

LOL! The point to any game, whether you are ahead or behind, is to try to win. You just seem to be uncomfortable with adversity.

Thee_Ghostess_Lola

The point to any game is to spend leisure time (usually with others) and enjoy yourself.  Winning or losing is secondary and largely irrelevant.  Some individuals, who have issues elsewhere in their lives, prefer to play games to boost/support their ego, and ergo winning becomes the most important thing, to them.

We need to be realistic, winning is fun and losing is not, we need to face that reality.  Ok sometimes we get a close game and its fun, but mostly losing sucks. Anyone who likes to have their mistakes pointed out is a sadomasochist.  I know you are going to cite Capablanca, losing is to learn from ones mistakes, yes this is the correct attitude but it does not dull the pain.  Ultimately we should be able to divorce ourself entirely from events on the chessboard after all, its simply the march of logic, but never the less, we are human and prone to aberration, this is what makes chess so interesting.

Imagine if one was making an appoinment with a mistress to analyse a chess game!
