You should lose games when there is that big a rating difference. I have games against meman, fernando J P Vasquez, ThePO and the like. I will lose all of them (almost certainly). Does that mean I should feel like an idiot?
Does that even mean I should stop playing people that good?
I don't think so. Those games are teaching me lots and are great fun for the most part.

Of course, those games fun quickly dissapears when you go a piece up just to see that knight put you in a royal fork.
