Non chess players often wrongly assume that chess players are civilized, gentlemanly people. The reality is more like this:
[chat log from an online game I just played, where he first aborted the game where I had the white pieces, then rematched so he would have white]
White offers draw [in a losing position]
XXEgemenXX: pls you take only -5

[If we draw, I lose 5 rating points and he gains 3]
XXEgemenXX: only
Traubert: :D
XXEgemenXX: draw,

Traubert: if you want rating points, play better

Traubert: don’t worry, you can get them back
