It's called macho pride and it's utterly pathetic.
If I get beaten in a game by a female then so what ? It's just a game but some people take this way too seriously and seem to live in the dark ages when it comes to gaming. There's a small group of men who feel threatened by female gamers in case they get beaten by them. As I said its macho pride.

So you are one of the 99.9% then?

I'm not whining about it and I certainly don't do it. I was answering a question about the causes of it and I said macho pride which isn't just a gaming thing, it happens in all walks of life where a woman beats a man. I play darts against females. If they beat me it's just that they beat me, it's not the end of the world and we both have three darts so why shouldn't they do better than me. I do know some men though who absolutely hate it and refuse to shake hands if they lose. Seems weird to me

Why is diversity weird to you? Some mind it some don't. Why discriminate. Let people be who they are
-
No it seems weird that a man won't shake a woman's hand if they lose. Why should it be a no-no in their eyes ?. People can be who they want to be until their behaviour impacts on others in a way that is harmful. And I think good manners (shaking hands) is simply good manners.

Edited by OutLaw49x: 7/31/2015 4:06:51 PMBecause people shouldn't be made to conform to anything maybe? Not doing those things is not harmful.

No but it's disrespectful. It's harmful in that way as it fosters disrespect and has a knock on effect.
-
The solution is be respectable and avoid being in a position to be disrespected if it hurts that bad

Even people who try their hardest to avoid disrespect seem to get it on here. Some people just go out of their way to create trouble. I suppose that's how the world works.
