Win

because I would rather win at something I don't like vs lose at something I do like.

I'd rather lose at something I love because I'm not that competitive. At least I get to do something I enjoy if I lose. If I win at something I hate, then I had no desire to participate in the first place so what the hell do I care if I win?

Yeah. I have to agree with this but at the same time I wouldn't want do something I hated (disliked maybe but hated, no) so I would have to say lose at something I loved.
