To further explain my question....
I know a lot of pool players who can't stand to lose a game period. They get quite upset every time they lose. Some will even sometimes break their cue sticks, etc. when they lose a game. These guys frequently will only play other players who they know they can beat. Some guys hate to lose to a woman - will brag they have never lost to a woman, etc.
Other players believe that by playing better players, they will improve their game. And they don't mind losing again and again.
Being as Sarah is an exceptional player, and probably hangs around with the same, I would imagine that if I were to play her or her friends for example, I would probably be lucky to win one game a month.
So the question is can you lose again and again (for many months), and still be motivated to continue playing the person you are losing to?
So far as a relationship never being 50% / 50%, that actually had nothing to do with pool. (This was not a question, just some friendly advice.) It has to do with each persons income, cooking meals, helping around the house, etc.
Sometimes one person has more time than the other. One person makes more money than the other. One person is in a better position time-wise to cook, clean, do dishes, etc. And this can all switch. So a relationship can start out with say one person doing all the cooking, then a few years later, things can change and the other person will have more time to do these things.
So far as not forwarding my application, that is fine with me. (I was just having fun.) This is a *very* fun thread BTW. But I am a bit too old, very independent, snore, etc. But I will hang around and watch the fun!
