There are a surprising number of tactics for this – for instance if you’re playing against a man, go with paper, as men go for rocks more often as it’s so manly. Apparently.
@ BeautifulXLie-I live in Canada, and yes, they do have sompetitions. But I thought that was in AMerica too...?
@gbman-I will have to tes that theory. I normally go for rock because it seems like everyone always picks scissors, but maybe that's because I've been playing with girls...
@swissbob-Amen. ;)
@aerobicon-Yes, as I just said before, I fell that everyone picks scissors.
ya they do have competitions in the USA, they're held in las vegas and the winner gets1 million dollars I only know because my friend tried to enter but I always thought people went for scissors first, nobody ever goes for paper
Scissors is always first because it's like the middle choice. Paper is frail, rock is powerful, and scissors are a neutral technology. The mind can't easily cope with a random choice. Everything has to be rational. So it naturally sorts the available choices in the most reasonable way that it can, and then chooses the middle as a compromise. It sounds more difficult than doing something at random, but for a human brain, it isn't.
of course, when people figure that out, they'll stop using scissors first and use, say rock…at which point they'll realize what's going on and go on to paper…and then revert back to scissors and start the cycle anew!! mwahahaha!!!
so there are three approximately equal sections of society at any given time...so now if we do a demographic study we should be able to figure out where the rockers, paperers and scissorers are concentrated and how often they change strategy...we shall be rps masters!
Went to the lake this w/e, played beach volleyball, two girls were the captains, who would choose first was decided by… well you know, anyway it seems the most popular choice for women is scissors…
Also, I kick ass at serving the ball!!... or balls if ur hip ;)

not entirely true… best bet would be to show some cleavage, he’ll get distracted and victory will be yours!
Has anybody tried asking someone to play RPS , then tell them they can go first!! heehee
If men go for rocks, then what do women go for?
Gotta be paper. Women LOVE the paper…
Hmm….women love paper? I wasn’t aware of this.
Of course they do. Greenbacks are their favourit ones.
;)
Someone once told methat everyone picks scissors first. I may need to test this theory!
You win - No housechores for a week.
You lose - QUICK!Go wash the dishes!!!
It's that easy ~

Luckily the entire population doesn't realize everything at the exact same time.

"Good ole rock. Nothin' beats rock."
Yeah Rock ('n' roll), forever!
@HM, not true, sit and listen for awhile, know your enemy…
I was raised in a catholic family. I assure you I've sat and listened long enough. Rock always triumphs. Especially in a public stoning.
well, I am certainly not without sin… so i'll cast the second stone!!
...and I love public stonings! or private ones...
While you cast the second stone, I'll cast the fourth mold, and begin pouring the concrete for the third stone.
personally i like sissors….oh sorry does that not go along with ur whole bibical stoning thing.
Scissors... tweezers... same thing
ooo tweexers would be fun to do in rock paper sissors! makes a picking like motion with fingers heehee
I was always liked scissors better too Ileah, but not tweezers…. they just dont seem as threatening =/
Obviously you've never been stabbed with tweezers…
As an adventurous child, I often found tweezers to be a formidable adversary... to wood ticks.
