The personality of a French defence player.

On my way up I've encountered many French defence players.
Most of the time, I lose to these players because I'm ill-prepared. The primary reason for my lack of preparation is that I have certain expectations for my fellow chess players. Expectations for honesty, and good gamesmanship.
I believe in a world where chess players play genuine, beautiful, and creative chess. I believe in a world where chess players don't settle on using cheap tricks to fool their opponent. Obviously, French defence players fit in the latter.
The question I ask is, how miserable does one have to be to employ the French defence? What kind of sick satisfaction do these people get from beating someone with such a bore-inducing play style?

If I can rely on my memory this is at least the third topic which sounds troll-like.

French defence is ok. If you cannot cope with it that is your problem - don't blame the players personally for it.

PS: I never played the French with black. ;) But according to your games you do so?

I know this is a troll but I have to say that the idea according to which french defense is boring is completely irrelevant, and I've already seen quite a few people say that. People who think that are either players who loose constantly against french defense because they have a poor understanding of black's ideas, or players who always go for the exchange variation and then complain that it's boring whereas they are fully responsible of their boredom... French defense leads to very exciting and unbalanced games if you know what you're doing as white

Is not the more relevant answer to start a new thread, something like :

"The personality of a chess players who repeatedly posts provocative threads on a forum ?"

I'm just waiting now for the Caro-Kann thread...

I feel like the passage could be written about any opening for a humorous effect:

I don't think the Caro Kann fits your thought process. @KokoASMR

Caro players don't use cheap tricks to win.
