@divegeester saidIt was a joke, but in unrated games between a competent chess player and one who isn't, there would only be lost games for me and how fun is that after a while. Earl might play unrated games with a male player too and let him win, I don't know. As I said, I was making a bit of a joke, don't make too much of it. And I honestly don't care of you think I had a sexist approach.
Ok I see.
You saying this sits incongruously with your comment about liking it when man allows allows to win, that’s all.

@torunn saidI like polite men too, and women and kids too. A group of youngsters let me take the spare seat on a busy train once but what I mainly experience more is young female shop assistants addressing me as ‘Lovie’ as if I’m their ‘Nan’. It makes me feel they see me as some stooped, deaf old lady with a worn out shopping bag 😂
I am old, Dive and I like polite men, and he is old too I believe. Also I experience young men and women offering me a seat on the bus, they clearly see me as an old woman and I'm comfortable with that.
@drewnogal saidI tried to find a good face moisturizer, the young shop assistant pointed to one of the brands and said it was the best choice for women - and she was about to continue 'your age' - but politely changed it to 'women our age', and she was about 30 years younger than me. 🙂

I learned all about Crème de la Mer on the radio yesterday, the world’s wonder cream. A pot costs the same as a short holiday.

@drewnogal saidI looked it up - 2,270 SEK for 30 ml. !! I think it is good though but so is a holiday.

@torunn saidWhen I bought my latest cell phone (a flip phone, about 4 years ago) the young salesperson tried to cell me the latest and greatest “smart” phone, when I told him I just wanted a phone (flip phone please) he said that his granddad had one. By the look of him I could have been his great granddad.

@great-big-stees saidI knew I must be looking older when young men started holding the door open for me and calling me Sir! 🙂 Of course many of them looked like they didn't need to shave yet. 🙂
