Celtic...This has been debated to death, but the bottomline is this. You're wrong! There is ZERO reason women cannot be just as good as men at any pool game. Some guys debate that women are weaker, therefore they cannot break as hard, but that argument doesn't hold water either. The break is about timing, not strength (otherwise the 800 gorilla would have the best break...and they don't). Want to really know why men are better? It's because they've had 100+ years of strong competition. Women, by contrast, have been playing competitively for really less than 30 years (and the improvement overall in women in pool has been most dramatic in the past 10 years). They will catch up, and you will see men playing side by side with the women, in terms of skill. Will it happen in my lifetime? I don't know...but it will happen.
As far as Debbie R. goes...she definitely qualifies as a "hottie", and does play in high heels. She has a huge competitive drive, is very confident, and possesses some skill at the table. She's had lessons from some great players, and has a pretty good routine. Like most players, she could benefit from getting some instruction that included video analysis.

I would once again remind all you men who have responded, to re-read Mizz Debbie's initial post. Especially where she says, "So to all men on here, leave us alone!" I don't think she could make things any clearer than that. Do you?
See , Men are dense too.![]()
Better to leave them alone and strip them of every single shred of attention and make them have a complex about what might be wrong with them and why no one talks to them.
Believe me, you take away every shred of attention, they might lose their mind.![]()
I agree with PROG8R. And after checking out those pics I can understand why you keep getting interrupted...
Best of luck keeping the dogs at bay. :wink:
WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING ?
Your giving away the best kept secret known to (few) men !!
Shhhhhhhhh !
:wink:
Superstar dropped the ball big time, that's definitely men's information.
Key to it all...ignore ignore ignore!
Great thread with a pretty common problem that inspired me 10yrs ago to make the back cover of my guaranteed improvement drill book look like this;PLEASE DO NOTThe problem definitely is worse for women in general but can be a problem for all aspiring players. I use to tell my students to never leave their chair empty, put your pool case, purse, jacket whatever it takes but don’t leave that empty chair there.
DISTRACT PLAYERS
PRACTICING[/
I like the ipod idea, definitely helps.
I agree totally that women can and will play ever bit as good as men or better.
RJ keep in mind some people can’t see the shots as good with a short bridge.
Jason, nice with the killer divorce proof
And vette, daddy with the tight flowered shirt walking towards you, you made me lol right off the bat.
There were other interesting points but I forgot them after reading all 7 pages.
Keep up the good practice Deb
Joe T,
Has been interrupted in the thousands
Speak for yourself.
LOL.
For a female, it's all about getting attention, when they WANT it.
Like any guy on earth has a shot of figuring that out, when a female will change her mind in a matter of seconds anyway.
Only desperate guys are actually going to try and pick up a girl giving them pointers while they are practicing. That's just tacky. A guy who does that has NO GAME!

Unfortunately, for every 1 guy willing to do this, there is 99 that will give her every bit of attention she desires and then some...
You ignore her, there's 10 others that will buy her a steak so you better look like brad pitt if you think this is going to work.
Need i say more.
Some people just have no game.![]()
There is no dropping of the ball. Girls flat out know this.
Does knowing it in any way stop them from being drawn to the person who totally disses them when they are used to getting tons of attention?
Nope!
Wonder what Debbie would do if someone came in and DIDN'T pay attention to her, who then ignored her and didn't fall all over themselves talking about how awesome looking she was, but instead was like...Eeeewww.
Now THAT would be fun to watch.
