Losing to girls?

Recently i visted a LAN Party, a commercial and big one, which I did not for some years. Since I always considered Counterstrike for LAN Parties what Cancer is for humans I only applied for Starcraft and Quake 3 Contests. I "pinged" the LAN Forums how many ppl still play SC after all, if the contest would even launch, and was happy about some replies.

On the LAN I was pretty stunned how many girls and women you see on LANs nowadays, and not just those visiting their geek boyfriends, no they really played. Okay it's not like really many girls but like one or two each row of seats. And thinking back some years where *any* girl on a LAN was an attraction, yes this were many girls.

It also made me think of one of my early girlfriends that I actually met on a (private) LAN where she smashed my in Warcraft II, and not becaues I sucked .. I was at least "okay". Beeing impressed (and still somehow ashamed) I got interessted and things started. I was *really* happy that i could beat her in most other games but she still was a tough opponent.

Back to the present, on the LAN i started walking arround and breath some "LAN Spirit" and looking for the ppl that replied to my SC Thread. One of them was, a girl. Since she only wanted to play LT and played Protoss I did not think too much about that .. until we played. She defeated my in two matches, and not close matches.

Inluding anothe 2on2 Starcraft loss on a LAN against a Team with a girl (this was a 4 pool) that makes it three "events" of this kind ..

So I just wanted to know, if there are others arround sharing this "strange" kind of pleasure beeing smashed by girls?

I enjoy it when girls are competitively good at things I like, yeah, cause then it's another actvitity you can do with them.

on the other hand I'm insanely competitive AND sexist (im a great guy really i swear) and so I also hate losing to girls ever.

i think the issue is definitely not gender, but skill level. most of the time, when someone mentions female gamers (esp bw), there tends to be the assumption that they're noobs. i don't think that many people would beat themselves about it if they lost to tossgirl 1v1.

but alot of times when i go to the arcade and if i see a girl playing tekken or something, no one else dares try to play against her because they're afraid they'll loose ahahahaha

I think it's cool with more girls playing games and stuff, i don't really know about girls attending LAN's since i never go to LANs myself.

I got destroyed by BlueIris a couple of days ago, i enjoyed it :o

I am coaching two girls in Starcraft at the moment. They haven't beaten me yet, but one of them beat a friend of mine in PvsP recently, in an epic game. I was very proud.
I myself usually only get beaten by girls at monopoly, which really gets to me, since when it is all male, I virtually always win, but as soon as a female joins, I lose, terribly. Girls destroy my monopoly luck

Oh yeah, a girl beating you in SC is a pleasure. Too bad mine won't ever.

There is no excuse for losing to a dame in anything.

I must say I have absolutely no idea...

Well I loved to watch the girl leagues when they were still held...it was fun. Although, some of them weren't better than a mediocre ladder-player, I think carot was one of the better ones (along with Navy and Tossgirl)

I lost a lot to puLs.alexa who claimed that she was a girl. However, I'm fairly sure "it" wasn't.
