Does the way someone plays games say a lot about them, or am I being ridiculous? The game is called double?

Question

The game is called double solitaire. It's not the lonely person's game, it's a game we play with two or more.
I taught this game to my girlfriend. At fisrt she couldn't get the hang of it and I always beat her. I tried to slow down and give her a chance, I didn't want to just beat her, I wanted to enjoy playing against each other.
This weekend she got a lot better. She kept beating me, and beating me soundly every time. But she was always finishing so quickly, I didn't want to accuse her of cheating, but....
Finally I realized that she was doing a very quickie job of shuffling. If you've played solitaire or any other card game, then you know that you need to shuffle the cards between games. She didn't want to. So I said, OK, you shuffle my cards and I'll shuffle yours. She was OK with that, but I beat her every game from then on. Now she says she doesn't like that game.
The game shouldn't be so important, but for me this says something about character...am I totally wrong???

Answer 1

No, I think you aren't totally wrong. I mean, the way we play games does say something about our character. If you are a bad loser, that says you have trouble accepting failure. If you have to cheat to win, to me it says that it doesn't matter what you have to do, you have to win. I don't know, I always felt that if my friends have to cheat to win, I don't want to play with them. But honestly, I would talk to her about it. I wouldn't let it sit in your head and become more than it is, but I would be nice about it too. I don't know how you could do that, but that's what I would do. And if they can't talk about it and get to angry - that says something about them too. Good luck.

Answer 3

The best way to learn a person's character is to play a game with them or watch them play a game. I broke up with a guy I thought was wonderful till I watched him lose it totally when a 5-year old beat him at checkers (the kid cheated, but that's not the point). He was so angry, and wouldn't play with them anymore. He later said 'I can't stand losing. I have to win.' - that told me a lot about how he'd be in life, too. You really want to know what someone's like, though, play D&D with them. Their character will 'act' as they wish they could!
