Never do that !
When the ask for a draw after 2 freaking moves.. I continue and sometimes they end up winning… so I’m thinking SEE!!??!
If y'all actually accept a draw offer (unless ur losing) you need to go to a doctor fr.

Offering once is fine, i sometimes do it in tournaments as a joke when its clear im about to lose. But offering multiple times is just straight up rude. Only accept a draw if you are clearly worse or there is abolutely nothing

If I made a genuine mouseslip, sometimes I will offer a draw, and often my opponent is nice enough to accept. If my opponent made a genuine mouseslip, I will also offer them the courtesy draw.
1a3 you got autistim ain't no way you said "offering once is fine"
you on something fr
#88 no offering a draw even once should never be done, but labeling 1a3 as autistic because he believes that one draw is alright is far worse than offering your opponent that one draw. Be respectful, especially to everyone on the Spectrum.

In many positions I've been in that turned out to be losing, I actually thought I was tied. I just miscalculated. Its not always being rude, and sometimes you just want to hope.
you know this is not as annoying as when a player is clearly losing and they just let the time run out without playing
No one is an a-hole for doing anything. I had declined so many draw requests after the opponent had only made one move. Turns out with all of those declined draws they ended up beating me in the game, winning. You might feel or believe you are losing, stick it out you never know. Like these opponent where I declined their draws and ended up beating me in the games. Keep trying if they decline, believe in yourself. If you can’t there isn’t anything wrong with just resigning. I know resigning will mean that your rating might drop. But it will go up again.

I disagree with the "it should never be done", if you genuinely calculated-even mistakenly-that the position was a draw, then it's sensible. If you misclick, then you may as well see if your opponent is merciful. If not play it out or resign. It's even more valid if a game looks like a draw multiple times. I do agree with the autism stuff though. That's never okay to say.
