You see it all the time in real life. Some people study really hard, spend all their free time revising for a test, then get beat by someone who spent all their time playing starcraft instead of working (yes that's me  ). Hard work isn't always rewarded, in contrast to what TV tries to teach you.
It's a game, just have fun playing. Most good players have high APM, but APM is not a measure of how good you are at winning.
You could change race but probably won't since you sound like the kind of terran that's not only whiny but incredibly stubborn and love to believe that their superior mechanics makes them a better player regardless of win or loss. Oh yeah you're american too, no wonder you're into brainless key bashing (not really inferring anything, just your chile bashing is unjustified assholery).

Man threads like these are great for drawing out people.
Basically, it should be unanimous that PvT is simple mechanically. Stuff like 120 apm Fisheye, 100 whatever apm kwark is not unheard of. Yeah that's how it is, oh well just improve and don't worry about it. Who cares about effort so long as you win (although game length is a justifiable annoyance).
What seems to be beyond sight here is that PvT is simpler strategically too at low levels. That's just a natural consequence of the matchup. Protoss, for the most part, control the overall flow of the game by their tech choices and the timing of their expansions. Terrans are left to react to whatever the Protoss do. Thus against good Terrans who can react to everything really well it's like walking a tightrope for the Protoss. But against sub C+/B- or so Terrans, the Protoss can do anything and the Terran won't know how to react to it properly. Their side of the thinking end at low levels is simply much harder and then it flips around at decent levels and goes even or so at pro levels.
Again, that's just how it is. No use complaining about it, just improve or switch to Protoss if it bothers you. But face reality and realize that low level PvT is way easier mechanically and strategically than TvP is.

Only a 1a2a3a blog could have grown this quickly.
Whats the point in complaining about it? Everyone's already made up their own minds about whether Protoss is imba, and a stupid anecdotal blog isn't going to change anything. All this does is incite people to troll and perpetuate a joke that's been repeated too many times for its own good.

w/e i've already mentioned kwark and fisheye. if they beat me, i wouldn't have cared, why? because they are better than me w/e micro/macro. apm was just another example to add to my statement that the opponent was not my level, but was still able to play along. like i said, i might just suck. please, analyze the rep for me, master. otherwise, idk what to say more.

Haha, you kind of have to play Terran to know what OP is feeling. It's like "shit, how'd this newb make me break such a sweat!" Yeah your opponent wasn't very good and was on the defensive the whole time. But really, to improve as Terran I think you just have to overcome that mentality and make sure you don't make the same mistakes again. Make more science vessels and stay on top of those arbiter stasises. You could've ended the game several times earleir but you just kept getting stasised and killed. Also, your timing push wasn't really good. I think the timing was a little to late for his expo which was pretty early (don't quote me on it since I'm not a really good player). That DT really messed up your timing push so remember to get comsats earlier or put up turrets faster. Overall, if you were a better player you could've ripped that guy to shreds, so become a better player! :D

It takes like 10 minutes just to get in a game sometimes, so even when someone knows it's over, it's good just to practice micro and stuff while you're still in the game. I mean obviously, pyloning all over the map is retarded, or just building mass cannons or sunkens till the point you'd have no way to win because you wasted all your money on static defence.... But frankly, if someone wants to defend a ramp with a very small number of units, I don't feel pissed at all at them
