We all know that men love games, often to our detriment. For whatever reasons, men have been wired to play games and have killed many relationships as a result. Below are 7 board games that men have projected into their own lives and romantic relationships.
1.) Candy Land: Men love sweet, delicious, “candy.” They will walk, run, and camp out on the road to get that sweet, delicious “candy.” The greatest offense that men make in Candy Land is letting their imagination drift too far from reality.
2.) Scrabble: Making women work through information (lack of information, mis-information, false information) to determine where they stand in your life. The greatest offense that men make in Scrabble is that think transparency is not a part of the game.
3.) Jenga: Physically/mentally moving blocks from the bottom of the tower without making the tower fall. Men do this all the time in relationships, removing foundational pieces to the relationship (trust, honesty, communication) and believing that the tower (relationship) won’t fall. The greatest offense that men make in Jenga is that they don’t value those foundational blocks.
4.) Monopoly: Forsaking everything, including relationships for financial advancement and power. The greatest offense that men make in Monopoly, they get consumed with more of the wrong things.
5.) Twister: Turns in life are apart of life and none of us know what’s next. Sometimes men play games that when mixed with the unknown turns in life, place women and the relationship into positions that they would not choose for their relationship. The greatest offense that men make in Twister is that they underestimate the strain that the twist and turns take on the relationships.
6.) SORRY!: Not a lot of brothas have played the actual board game SORRY, but they found a way to incorporate the (name) of the game into their relationships. The greatest offense that men make in SORRY is that they think sorry ends the hurt.
7.) Gesstures: When women have to guess whom the man is, because he plays so many different people. The greatest offense that men make in Gesstures—lying!
Men love games, but games can drain, damage and destroy romantic relationships. I’m guilty of playing games in the past, but have put down the games so that I can deal with real life.
What games would you add to the list that men and women play in relationships?
The better, Actual and REAL Title of this post should be & Board Games Men AND Women Play in Relationships. It's 2014 and PLEASE, let's not continue the Male Bashing, War on Women or Oppression Olympics as Everyone does these things. Call Out Women the same way Men are on a daily basis if Equality is the ultimate vision
I cosign with you brother, but I wouldn't see it as complete male bashing. The reality is there shouldn't be any games played in relationships, especially if you all are engaged or married.

I think it's fair for a man to speak to men. I said something similar on another post, but everything doesn't need to be all-inclusive. It won't be long before there's a woman's version of this post. I respect the perspective though.

And if there's a game to be played it should be chess, that way you keep each other thinking and onyour toes. No need for mundane predictability
My recent post Breaking Bad: A Day In The Life Of A Disgruntled Teacher
I love playing chess in the game of love. The best game to play because it takes skill and a little bit of luck to win. 🙂
The reason I said what I said earlier is because there can Never be a post or article about the shortcomings of Women without SOME sort of flip, reversal or deflection about How Men “caused” Women to be that way…
Imagine if some posts like this included that Women “made” Guys play these games; would you (all) Believe that? HELL NO, we would clown the crap out of him/them, even If he or Some Men were right. With Women- and I won’t say Some this time- the catalyst is what A Man Did/Said and ppl run with it like Gospel, even other women cosigning it rather than challenging the stereotypes
4.) Monopoly: Forsaking everything, including relationships for financial advancement and power. The greatest offense that men make in Monopoly, they get consumed with more of the wrong things.
Actually … Monopoly is one of the Best Games a Man can Play for Himself. Along with all the Emotions a relationship entails; It takes Money. Plus, any man who has ever been in a LTR that did not work out knows that keeping and maintaining 'His Own' is vital. Not to mention if the relationship 'Does' end in marriage; What woman would not consider the household more 'Secure' with a husband able to cover.
Like it's been said before: "You can lose a lot of Money Chasing Women. But you'll never loose a lot of Women Chasing Money".
Just My Opinion …
I meant: But you'll never Lose a lot of Women Chasing Money.
I still don't know WTF a candyland is….yeah, I know its a facebook game but I hate playing games on computer…but I digress. LOL
Tdavid…"But you'll never Lose a lot of Women Chasing Money" ….you already know 😉 lol
