Lies Wives Believe
A Satirical Look at Married Life
Video Games
Rachel gives us the second lie that wives believe, coming from a fictitious husband:
Hubby: "<Insert name of male neighbor> is only going to stay and play <insert name of random video game> for a few minutes."
The truth of the matter is that he will have that friend/neighbor over as long as he can—or at least as long as it takes for him to win it at least once.
Why? Because men are competitive by nature. They want to show off their new game, and they want to beat you at it. Nothing says “I’m a bigger guy” than besting someone at a game where you are represented by pixels on a screen.
To get in on this one, simply learn to play the game too—that way you’ll get involved. Either that, or master the art of the “accidental” power outage.
