Knowing how to play chess well does not make you a bad lover in bed.

My buddy Raltevens has wanted to be a grandmaster all his life, but he's considering quitting the game all together because girls believe skill at chess and sexual skill are negatively correlated. He's been on dozens of Tinder dates where it will be going really well and then right after he starts to talk about his most recent tournament, suddenly the girl "gets a phone call" and says "it's a family emergency" or some bullshit and leaves.

Twitter is a whole other topic. Girls tweeting about guys having "chess dick" or "pawn cock", intending to insult unattractive or undesirable men by disparaging the whole society of chess players is disgusting. Even girls who claim to like "intelligent men" somehow turn a blind eye when it comes to chessies. I'm sick of this.
