I am not comparing Jasmine or Jeanie to SVB or Efren specifically, where did I say that? I am comparing the overall skill levels at the top of each gender, and there is a gap at the overall levels. Yes, there are always exceptions, such as Shane, Efren, Jasmine, or Jeanie. I am not judging or...

I really have no idea, that would be interesting to know. The general population is roughly 1:1, so I would guess the poolplayer group is probably somewhere around 15:1 Again, strictly a guess, but most poolrooms I have personally have been in have roughly 15 guys playing around for every 1...

No, they are not wrong. Just because someone has a different opinion than you does not mean they are wrong. The WPBA is the WOMENS Professional Billiards Association. If a group of women want to get together and form their own group and have their own events, why is this wrong? And 30 years...

Sorry, guess I was writing my last message while you posted this. I do not think the WPBA is to blame for the gap that exists between men and women, for that I would blame genetics. I do think they do their best to prevent this gap from being well-known, in order to enhance and elevate the...

Congratulations, I'm glad you can READ. I have absolutely no problem with the women playing in the US Open, and I doubt most of the top level men could care either. Realistically, maybe only 4 women alive have a chance of winning, and that's a slim chance at best, and the worlds best players...

Nobody can ever stay away when they say they are... the lure of the AZ boards!

I think this is mostly because dora started a sexism/prejudice discussion about the US Open, so now she has to carry this thought over to the WPBA in order to remain consistent with her logic. Unfortunately applying this logic to the WPBA which is, and clearly should be, only for women doesn't...

Good luck with the Open! Allowing the women the chance to compete was definitely a good idea.

This is an interesting concept, although I must admit I do not believe in it completely. Allow me to propose a scenario: Find 100 men and 100 women at random who have never seen or played pool, ever. Provide instruction on the basics and allow them to practice for 3 months. Have a...

I brought these points up because we are having a discussion on the differences in men and women. These are factual statements indicating points of difference. As mentioned, I don't know what they have to do with pool, but they are differences. Many people seem to act as though it is negative to...

The man asked me for facts. I supplied facts. I also specifically said these facts do not make men better at pool, or anything else. They are merely differences in male and female. I said they are averages, and also said there are always variations from averages. If you read closer, I also said...

Hi Scott, Thanks for the rational discussion without name calling. :) However, I am concerned as to why you would put words in my mouth. I specifically said that I have met people that think the 64 women on the WPBA can compete with the top men. As in "met" in the real world, not other forum...

Here are some facts for you Brian: Men, on average, weigh more than women Men, on average, are taller than women Men, on average, die at a younger age than women Men, on average, are physically stronger than women Men, on average, literally speak less words in a day than women Men, on average...

Was I not allowed to make my first post in relation to this topic? Sorry if you do not approve. Perhaps you do not know what misogynist means, so I will clear that up for you: mi·sog·y·nis·tic (mĭ-sŏj'ə-nĭs'tĭk) adj. Of or characterized by a hatred of women. How does having an...

I dont think anybody said it would be bad, just that it is unlikely. Or highly unlikely. This is why people cannot discuss this topic - and other similar topics. As soon as you state an un-politically correct opinion, people use fallacious arguments to distort your point and make you look like...

This is a great point. I have been lurking for a while on this forum, just browsing through opinions. This statement motivated me to comment. I think you have made some very valid points. And I agree, people just want to call you out for being a misogynistic person for doing so. People do not...
