2021 One Pocket Top 10

[gulfportdoc]

Women do not have the natural inclination nor aptitude for pool, or for that matter, for chess, or any other mathematical/geometrical sport. Yes, there are some women in those endeavors, but they are the exception. OTOH men do not have the natural aptitude or desire for nuturing, for example.

I'm not sure why occasionally there are calls for more women to be in one-pocket (or pool in general), except from those who would benefit financially, like pool room owners or equipment sellers. Do we hear a cry for more men in nursing or hair dressing? With the exception of a few serious women players, ladies in the poolroom are the equivalent of men at a LuLaRoe party.

Pam "The Mystery Woman" has been playing out of Buffalos for nearly four years. She plays pretty good. She would beat most on this forum.

That is a really sexist remark. It's almost exclusively an environment issue. For years, it was bad form for a single woman to be in a pool room. So most women stayed away. It's hard to get good when you aren't playing pool. Go ask Jennifer Barretta or the others if there is some gender based limitation on their play. When there is a stigma against playing, and there is no money in playing, most don't play. It's not gender based. It's common sense.

I’ve played Pam many times, she’s a tough cookie.

I’ve asked Jennifer to play 1P several times without success. They have a nice room with only one tight table.

I'm surprised at your name calling, counselor. Environment has very little if anything to do with most women's disinclination to play serious or competitive pool. It's not access, it's biology. Plenty of women go to the poolroom to have fun, as they should. But in comparison to men very few aspire to reach a high level and engage in serious competition at the game. Your exceptions noted are not anywhere near the rule.

Women in general have no physical deficits at cuesports, with the exception of the power break. Physiology and hormones determine each of the two sex's affinity for certain endeavors. Women have been welcomed, even encouraged, to patronize poolrooms for 60 years. Whatever level of stigma which may have limited women's participation in cuesports in the past is long gone.

If the top women players of today turned to one-pocket, I suspect their approach might resemble the matches of twenty or thirty years ago, rather than the slashing games of Tony or the other gunners, and I would love to see it. I suspect that many others here would enjoy it also. My heroes have never been cowboys.

Sounds like you need to get out more.

Women represent about half of workers in science and technology

In most EU Member States there are at least as many women as men in university-level education, and the number of female doctorate students has increased more rapidly than the number of equivalent male students. How does that reflect in the science and technology workforce? In 2020, of almost 73...

Such a tedious antiquated statement. Another disappointment.

Larry, I'm trying to see what bearing the questions you've posed have on my commentary re the difference in men's and women's physiology, and how those differences in general incline the sexes toward certain activities. For those who would like to see a definition of physiology, here is a basic one: https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-physiology#1-3

People who have the notion that there is no difference between the sexes except for certain physical characteristics are mistaken. After 300,000 years of homo sapiens' existence scientists can be pretty accurate on the subject of the physiological differences between men and women. Yet at the dawn of the 21st Century it has become fashionable in the media and in Hollywood to assert that there are no differences. But human anatomy and physiology, which beget anthropology, cannot be reinvented.

I didn't call you a sexist, I said your comment was sexist. There is a difference and you are educated enough to know the difference.

Karen Corr and Jeanette Lee have played at the Derby, as have a couple of the Asian ladies whom I don't know.

Also, can't forget Ming Ng. I think she plays as well as many of our members here. Col Bille has up-close-and-personal data.

You do know plenty of women look at men’s buts and want to get in their pants. If you don’t, just watch some Bachelor in Paradise or the other shows. Believe it or not it’s happened to me

Another one that refuses to play me 1P and I’ve known her for years.

We need to avoid this sexist thinking. The real issue: Is it better to watch women play pool from in front, or behind?

 

[vapros]

It's optical, meaning you can go either way.
