dominate spouse during game night if you're intellectually superior?

Chicks dig guys with skills like rack management.

I bet there are thousands of women who are better at demoralizing their opponents in games. OP should leverage that. OP deserves a relationship with optimal rack management. God.

I doubt anyone plays any games with someone like OP. What a loser post attempt.

OP: Have you certified your genius by joining Mensa ?

Geez I have a music degree. Guess that makes me an idiot.

A smart man would not have married a dumb wife.

Engineering is dominated by men. It’s a safe assumption.

I'm a woman with a grad degree in engineering. From MIT. OP is probably a man because most women do not act like such a$$holes.

I can’t imagine any woman ever writing a post this ridiculously clueless, and I have read some posts by very clueless women.

Because she rage quits a simple game like Scrabble after losing by huge points every single game and gets angry at the words I play and their placement because she can never score high while nearly every move I make is for at least double digit points.

I can't help that after many games of Scrabble she cannot learn simple strategy, defense, and rack management. Like, it really doesn't take genius level intellect to learn that you should try as hard as possible to never level a vowel next to a bonus spot, because when you do, it means a consonant (high point tiles) can often be used next to them in two directions for huge points. Other simple stuff like trying your hardest to maintain a balance of 4 consonants and 3 vowels in your rack she doesn't even pay attention to. I know she never even thinks about rack management because she constantly wastes turns trading in tiles. After many games of Scrabble, I don't think she realizes yet how a letter like C is also a fantatic defensive tile, because when you have no options but to lay down next to a bonus spot on the board, a C can be placed next to it so that the bonus spot can only be used in one direction since there are really no two letter words that can be played that end in C, thereby limiting your opponent's points

Little stuff like above is so, soooo basic. I use those strategies every game to win by a lot, but she hasn't caught on yet. If you leave a I open next to a triple word or letter score spot, don't rage quit when I play a word like QI in two directions for 60+ points.

You ... you could share these strategies, you know. With the person you love? Make the gameplay better for both of you?

Why?

People have to figure out these things for themselves. That's the only way to get better rather than providing them a mental crutch every time.

Right because you figured it all out by yourself. No textbooks or teachers or peers or reddit blogs.....

Contempt is one of the 4 horsemen of divorce, OP. Hope her lawyer wipes the floor with you.

If you have kids, I wouldn't expect them to have much, if any, contact with you as adults.

People like you are alone for real reasons.

So, did you come up with all of this on your own, or did you learn some of it in a class?

Taking classes is weak, OP. Being taught things means you didn't figure it out by yourself.

Came up with it on my own.

Seriously, you need a class to figure these ideas out?

All it takes is playing Scrabble like 2 times to learn that leaving a vowel open next to a bonus spot is a terrible mistake, because your opponent can play high value consants next to it, often times in two directions.

If I put a consonant next to a bonus space, the vast majority of the time it means you can only play a vowel next to it if you're trying to play a word so you get scoring in two directions. Vowels are all only worth 1 point, so damage is limited. This is so,.soooo easy to figure out. Then you can use very difficult consonants like C to clog up strategic areas of the board since two letter words basically are impossible with C. It will frustrate your opponent when they get stuck and manipulated into opening up the board for you because you can force them to play in an direction you'd like to play in irder to hit more bonus spots.

You don't need to read a textbook on Scrabble. This stuff should be obvious.

You came up with mathematics all on your own, before you ever took a class?

Or are you just wrong, and won't admit it?

It should also be obvious to not be a dick to your spouse. Guess some people are just slow like that.
