I want to be very clear that I do not play APA, so no bashing me, lol. Here is what happened today. Me and a friend decided to go up the Fort Wayne and check out this big APA torney today. I have never been to anything like this before, so I was pretty curious what it was gonna be like. We get there and this place is packed full, I mean 35 Valley tables and one Diamond 7 footer, all full. This place is booming, I mean people and pool everywhere you look, and I noticed something as I looked around: women with LOTS of skin showing. I know APA is for men and women, but damn, I wasnt even playing and I was distracted. Ive seen less clevage at Hooters! One lady in particular comes to mind, when she leaned over to shoot, sweet mercy, her puppies were nearly all the way out! Now I didn't mind looking, because I wasnt playing, however, if I were playing her, I would have had a hell of a time concentrating on the right stroke;). She knew what she was doing when she got dressed this morning, she knew her boobs were gonna be flying out, and she knew it would help her win matches. What is really sad is that lady could really shoot good, so her cheap tactic was really not needed. If I were in the APA, as much as I love boobs, I would have to complain. If a guy has his junk hanging out, he gets booted, but the gals can shark the hell out of guys with their stuff, lol. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem playing pool with a woman, pretty, ugly, fat, thin, or anything in between, but if I am playing in an important match, I dont need my opponents boobs on my mind, lol. I apologize if I have offended anyone with this post, I dont mean to be vulgar, just stating what I saw today. Anyone else have any stories like this? Is this common in big APA tourneys?

You said it would shark you if you could see her boobs when she's shooting.. How does it shark you if she's the one shooting? When you get to the table, for one she is now sitting, and secondly, you are looking at the balls to shoot. I could see if you've never seen boobs in your life then maybe it would be on your mind. But anybody who says that this "sharked" them is just another one of those guys that makes excuses when they play, and I've heard them all, from making noise to who knows what else.

there is a rule - it's not allowed. there is a dress code for higher level tournaments. weekly play is a little different, more casual on the rules, no dress code. but get to the cities or vegas and that doesn't fly.
 
I don't agree with themac... even after decades of seeing boobs my eyes will still wander over to look at them. I could barely focus on my own game the other night cuz a cute chick was practicing by herself 2 tables away.

If someone wants to say that's a weakness in my game and I should be able to overcome it, I won't disagree... but as jrt pointed out they do have rules about it because it's just human nature to get distracted by certain things. Hard to beat human nature even with self-discipline.
 
If it was a normal sight I would not have quit the APA in my area..Grin.

Honestly, treat it as practice in holding your concentration. Turn an difficult situation into something positive...

Great point. If you are thinking about your pool game, it shouldn't even bother you. If you aren't thinking about your pool game when you are playing, you can't be that serious about your game.
Nobody can shark you if you refuse to allow yourself to be sharked. It's all in your state of mind.

I wasnt playing in the tourney, but for all those that say I am just making excuses, or I should focus on my game, or whatever, that is impossible. I still have blood in my veins, and I am a man. I cannot help it if what I saw five minutes ago is still in my head. I guess men have different views on this, but if you dont get at least slightly alert when some hot gal is showing her stuff, then I gotta feel sorry for you.

If APA instigates a "no boobs" rule I will forever hold you responsible and hunt you down and bad things will happen to you. Got it? Good. Shut up.
 
I think you should begin right now to normalize yourself to your environment - especially when an obvious willing coach is readily available. Shove your face right in there, make motorboat noises, inundate your senses with the sights & sounds of competitive pooldom. Try to get past the intimidation...

Then get a shot of penicillin asap & shower liberally with betadine.
 
The way I see this situation is....... with my eyes wide open. Keep on a sharking me baby.
 
I think most tables at the events have drapes, are you allowed to rub one out under the drapes of course. If she misses and you haven't yet finished tell her to take ball in hand and shoot again, you'll be right with her.
 
'Shove your face right in there, make motorboat noises'
:D

Nothing but boobs in the APA, just not the right kind.
 
Hey I love boobs, I didnt mind looking at all of them. I was just stating that it takes the focus away from the game for the men that are like me, horny. If I am just bangin balls, and some gal leans over and her nips pop out, Im not gonna complain, but if I have a shot to win some cash or a trip to vegas, and I look over and a gal is bent over picking a pencil up off the floor, we lets just say, pool is not what I will be thinking about, lol. Im a horny bastard all the way, so my man card is fine. Im not complaining about boobs, I really dont know why im complaining at all since I wasnt even playing in the tourney, but I feel sorry for those guys that had to play some of those women, cuz if they are like me, they were thinking about a different stroke altogether. I would like to hear some female opinions on this though, because there was a very nice, and pretty I might add, lady that did not like the other women showing their ta ta's. Feel free to chime in ladies, lol.

If I'm down on a shot for the cash and I look across the room and notice some boobs, I'm taking that as a sign from the Pool Gods that everything is right in the world.

Then I smile and proceed to nail the shot.

That's good karma my man. :smile:
 
My hat is off to you, I dont possess that kind of focus. I guess thats why im sitting on the couch eating pringles and drinking a beer at five in the morning instead of preparing for a big money tournament, lol.
