To hate playing games

[paganmolloy]

Let's all have fun at the beach with a fame of rounders, cricket, boules, etc. Etc. I just do not enjoy this. Happy for others to play and don't mind sitting watching or going for a walk or crabbing or rockpooling or swimming. But then I'm made out to be some sort of weirdo because I don't want to join in all the fun. I have one kid who loves the games and the other hates them as much as I do. What makes us the way we are?

I'm with you, can't stand them!

I can't stand games. The only thing I like less are people who push them.

I think I've ended up with a group of friends who don't 'play games'.

YANBU

I find them terribly boring. Same goes for most board games.

No, you're not unreasonable at all. I love playing games, but my Mum and DP hate them. Really, really hate them. So we let them be to do their own thing. They'll watch and laugh, if they feel like it, but if not, it's fine.

I also hate it when people try to persuade you to join in when you don't want. Like at weddings, when you have to get up and dance. I like to have a jig about, but only to music I enjoy. I do not like prancing about to most of the sodding stuff that is played at weddings and birthday parties. So if I don't want to dance, don't keep trying to persuade me and call me a miserable sod. I'm not a miserable sod, I do not want to dance to music I hate. So bugger off!

Boules maybe as no real effort but other things leave me cold. I'd rather poke about in rockpools, walk and eat ice cream.

God no yanbu!

The only thing I like that involves balls, is sex!

I have never really liked games even as a child.

Just let my sunbathe, splash in the water, look at fish or collect shells and stones.

Oh I love games!

Glad to have found some kindred spirits. I don't mind board games just not anything that involves team exertion. Have never liked team sports.

I think it's genetic. DH and I both look on in horror when 'fun' like this is announced. Our oldest child is well trained to have 'needs' at times like this.
