"We've spent our childhoods playing games. Was that just preparation for all the games we'd play as adults? Where relationships just a big chess match, full of strategies, moves, counter moves, all designed to keep your opponent off balance until you win?
Is there such a thing as an honest relationship? Or is it true? Do you have to play games to make a relationship work?"

Maybe some girls are looking for the type of relationship that they think they diserve? Where they have gotten maybe this false sense of what a relationship really is? Games...childish...what the hell do you play everyday at work? School? or everyday with everyone else in your life. Maybe us girls are playing a more difficult game with males? A game that we think males should understand. A relationship should always have some type of game going on, or what are we trying to do with the other person? If things were just magical all the time and people could read minds and act a certain way... there would be no point in trying to A get to know the other person B trying to work through things that come up or things that already exist or best yet C change and accept the relationship that you have started with someone else. I guess it goes for more then just a relationship with maybe a crush or an intrest but with anyone. New best friends... im sure there are a thousand things about that person that you dont know, that arnt right but hey, you dont want to sleep with them so whats the big deal the first impression is good enough for a while. Your playing a type of game with them where if it goes on for a while like monopoly, your not too worried... next time you play you will have forgotten who owned Park Place! The games we play with certain people obviously mean more depending on our expectations of that person... but there we go... it comes down to expectations... does it matter who came up with the right answner? rolled the dice lucky? picked the right card? or screwed up harshly with the drawing? It comes down to technique and concept... getting to know how the game is played is one part, getting to know how the other persons stratagie through the game is another... Like it or dont... but play the game fair and maybe pick another challenger next time. Males or anyone in particular are not going to change the way they get through the game... Dont expect them to, find a better way to win. Cheat? Or accept the loss and learn from it...challenge differently? change your stratagie, accept that a well played game is just as good if you win or lose. What do you take away from it and will you play monopoly again with this person?
An honest relationship is about accepting a good game and continuing to play that game.
