When a super hot girl beats you at a video game, is it hot or not?

I want to know if it adds to a girls attractiveness if she's able to beat guys at playing video games. Please provide reasons for your answer.

In terms of playing competitive video games it only really matters if it's fun which tends to be if it's a close match. As both a victor and a loser, that tends to be the case, so if I were playing with a girl who totally demolished me every time, I'd be probably more frustrated than anything unless I thought I could get good enough to give her a challenge. Otherwise, it isn't fun, and that's boring. And attractiveness isn't supposed to be boring.

But it's probably most exciting when someone's actually into the games you play. So getting beaten at Mario Kart or Halo when she doesn't actually care or acts like the game is no big deal to her would be less fun and thereby less of a plus to me than if she were legitimately interested in different games and could hold a conversation with me about, say, the Temple of Time in Twilight Princess (yup, I'm dorking out right now.) And I've met girls who can and do talk to me about those and it's exciting every time. But then, I tend to play games that aren't particularly competitively based so discussion of the game is better for them anyway.

Besides, co-op games like Little Big Planet tend to be the most positive for me regarding relations with other people. On one hand you can legitimately test your teamwork and stuff. And on the other hand you can actively sabotage each other so that you each die spectacularly and laugh yourself to tears. Definitely great bonding time, or great for getting out annoyance with each other.

Not really... I mostly care about interest rather than skill. If she has a genuine interest in and enjoys playing the types of games I play, it's a turn on.

If we're playing for fun, it doesn't matter to me.

If we're playing competitively, I'd be pissed.

I suck at video games so I guess it would be common lmao
