M + F + sports
Ok, this question is preferably for guys.
You and your girlfriend are playing a sport (how about soccer) and she's pretty good at it. Do you like a girl who gives it her all and plays like she's one of the boys--even if she beats you? Like if you don't know how good she is until you're playing with her, would you want her to hold back just a little so you both will have more fun and it would be more.. flirty, I guess? Because wouldn't you feel stupid if she was more manly at a sport than you are? And if she played as best as she could and beat you, wouldn't the relationship be more competitive then romantic?

Depends if its like a game and all with a bunch of people no neither shoudl hold back but if you are just kicking around the ball she shouldn't be like making sure shes winning, she should just have fun, even if it means having to hold back a bit.

I agree that she shouldn't kick your ass, if she is capable, because you'd both be aware of that and there wouldn't be any need to prove it. I mean, if you guys go out there and are competing, it's one thing, but if you're just kicking around she is being a little bitchy if she just keeps owning you.

Absolutely not. Why would you want to surpress the talent of your friend like that, even if it is a relationship. Personally, I respect and admire something like that. There are no rules that say its the guys that should be better at the sports than the girls. The relationship shouldn't center on one thing, especially something like that. If you play it doesn't matter if it is just for competition or even for just fun. I would want a girl to do her best at everything, because how would you feel if somebody held back and pretended to be bad at something they knew they were good at just to let you win. I would like things to be fair, and I'm sure you would too, whether a sport, a game, or whatever. So I don't think theres anything wrong with that because there is no set number of things that guys should be better at than girls and vice versa. Hope that helped.

No not at all. Just because a girl gives something her all doesnt mean it's a competitive relationship. Sounds to me like you would prefer her to slack up on the game just so it could be on more love/flirty terms? Doesn't make sense. Sounds to me like you played a game against your girl and got creamed and don't feel like a man anymore. You shouldn't feel that way or discourage her from doing her best. It's a game, you do it well or not at all.

I'm not a guy, but I wouldn't hold back how good you are. I mean, I don't really see the point. Because if he comes to one of your games, or all of a sudden you get really good, he's going to be like "hey she lied to me". It might be a bit of a blow to his ego to find out you thought being better than him at a game would hurt him that much. Besides, really, what good has ever come of selling yourself short?
That said, go with the flow of the game. If it's just a fun, play around game, then relax, but if it gets competitive, play competitive.
A relationship isn't going to be competitive if you two are comfortable enough to be yourselves around one another- you won't feel like you have to impress one another, and one up each other, or in your case hold back.
