relationships and pool = what?

NewGuy said:
I've actually started 'seeing' her again. I know the whole pool issue is going to pop up again even though she says she's fine with it now. What can I say? I'm a big dummy. :p
Or maybe just a "horny" dummy :D

Sssssay Sssssweetie....don't be tryin' to hook me up...I'm already ssssspoken for! :mad: :cool:

Dammit! Now I've been rejected by both DM and Marissa! Just when I thought things couldn't get worse... :D

LS, that was the funniest thing I read all day! :D :p
 
Ah I don't know like someone said it depends on the parties...I always had problems with this issue mainly because I hung around in Pool rooms and never quite liked the picking for the female pool hanger on to put it nicely..However I recently met someone outside of pool who would follow me anywhere and be supportive it can do wonders for your confidence which is half the game any way...Especially if you have the other half :D

When your head and heart are right and confidence is up that is a great combination for taking your game to the next level....

I think when the right person comes along the love for pool and them will balance out (that could be wishful thinking due to lack of experience).

Lack of experience or bad experiences?
 
A long time ago in Detroit............

A long time ago in Detroit, I was playing & winning the best & most of my entire pool life. I flew back to St. Louis for some much needed R&R and met a great looking girl at the poolroom. We hit it off immediately and spent 3 or 4 days together. I told her I was going back to Detroit because that is where I left my car and could get the most & best action.
She wanted to come along so I agreed. Now she knew what pool was to me and said she understood. I got a great (completely furnished) lakefront home in Brighton, MI and commuted back & forth daily. I was playing so good and getting so much action that I actually had a safety deposit box at Manufactures bank with over $60K in it.
We were having a ball (lots of them actually) and I spent quite a lot of time with her at the house and restaurants. Most days she would go with me to the poolroom and finally learned that it was a waiting game - but that didn't mean that I didn't have to pay close attention to conversations and watch other games.
CAN YOU GUESS THE BEGINING OF THE END?
She was jealous of my cue stick and complained that I was spending too much time taking care of it. Now this was my Balabushka that I have now had for over 40 years. I did usually spend about 1 to 2 hours daily working on it (unless it needed a tip), and then it was more like 3 hours.
One day she asked me (standing naked fresh out of the shower) why would I want to work on my stick right now?
I said - "I make MONEY with my cue" & "All I do with you is spend it"!
I put her on a plane back to St. Louis the next day.

TY & GL

Yes, I think you do! I think you waaant me... you want to looove me :p


(Crossing myself) Please Lord...I know I haven't always been the best person...I've watched pornography, I've cheated, I've lied, I've stolen from the weak on the pool table, I've shit on a few heads, I've flamed people on the forum and called them morons, idiots, or douche bags...but what have I ever done to deserve this kind of punishment? Please...I'll say my prayers at bedtime every night...I'll drink all of my milk and wash behind my ears...just please don't send Mawissa after me any more...PLEASE LORD. (crossing myself again)

I need opinions on whether or not a relationship is good for a pool career or for a pool player in general. is it worth it? does it mess things up? or make things worse or more stressfull ? tell me what you know from experience or from plain knowledge.
I know I will probably get sent to Oprah or Dr. Phil, but.................

I think being impatient is the cause of most failed relationship involving pool players of both sexes. Guys who play well have no trouble meeting the cute girls in the poolroom who see the players as outlaws, or at least "bad boys" who gamble and win other peoples money without having to work. I'm sure it is just as easy, if not easier, for the girls to date almost any guy (or girl :D ) in the poolroom as well, since there is a much bigger percentage of guys who frequent rooms. The players are usually popular in the room as well, getting alot of attention, with everyone coming up to speak to or chat with them. They are usually popular with almost everyone in the room. That allure is what attracts potential suitors to the pool player/gambler. Guys usually let their libido get the best of them and show interest in the girls for physical reasons (the road does get lonely). Also, with the many dissapointments that the road brings, it's nice to feel wanted. Soon, when the girl (or guy, for you ladies) realizes what is involved in making money playing pool, they get disinterested, but have usually developed some feelings for the player. Even if you explain to them that it may take all day sitting around to only get action at midnight (or not at all), it still does not sit well with a partner who does not understand how the game works. Plus, if it is a non-player, they usually only know bars and poolrooms as "pick-up" type places where you go to meet and pick up girls. Subsequently, they think that every time you want to go practice, that there is an underlying motive and you are there to get drunk or to meet and pick up women. All of a sudden, Bam! Another pool related relationship gone bad. I do think that it is easier for league players. At least in Chattanooga, the leagues are a good social setting to meet and enjoy the company of people with similar interests.

After many years in the poolroom, my biggest piece of advise would be to tell a player that a relationship can work, but it takes patience to find a person who has the criteria that you are looking for in a partner. Don't jump at the first attractive, available person who shows an interest in you. There is a compatible, trustworthy pool lover out there for us all. We just can't rush finding them.

That is yet to be determined. Wait until little LandCrab arrives and starts wailing at all hours of the night, pukes and shits it's diapers constantly, and needs to be fed or rocked. I have a feeling help is gonna be demanded or else there will be some hell to pay. :D

Are you kidding? With all his money, he'll just get a nanny to take care of all that stuff. He can afford to just have "quality" time with his kids.
 
You Got That Right!

About that exact time I had put my cue in my Fellini case - SO - It Wasn't Naked - BUT - She Still Was!

Well...are you gettin' any??

She doesn't really want any. Or maybe she does but she's afraid she'll like it and turn into one of those porn watching sex maniacs. :rolleyes:

Better yet... New Guy reports he is 27...what the hell is he doing dating a kid anyway??? :confused:

Having met New Girl, I can understand New Guy's dilemma. Yes, she is young but she is also undoubtedly cute. He just gets sucked in when she flashes those eyelashes his way ...
