Guilty as charged Lodini....But I do really appreciate the abilities of the females pros as well.lodini said:
From what I know, and can gather, most female groupies get involved with the players for somewhat taboo reasons, and the gambling and "bad-boy" aspects of pool.
I think they see the players as people who are ingenious enough not to have to work for a living, and can swindle, con, or hustle their way through life. I think it's the allure of the easy, not totally legal, money that they think is so easily made, that attracts them. This, along with the seediness they think they see in the pool rooms where gambling takes place, makes them think they are not-so-good girls themselves, and allows them to live out bad girl fantasies or makes them feel like they are hustlers themselves.
Most, if you notice, turn tail and run when they see what it really takes to make it as a gambler or roadie in pool. Late nights, losses, unsteady income, and other things make only the most loyal stick around. And for the ones that do stick around, the lifestyle usually takes it's toll.
I've been attracted to a groupie or two in my day. Now I avoid them like the plague.....
