Come on dipshit, you know you are on about your 4th or 5th screen name on this site :boring2:
I'd have to agree with Scott, what a knowledgeable post.
You know this got me thinking. I believe I was slightly wrong in my original post. I think the real reason is this:
Men feel the need to dominate. Some show it some don't but all desire to be dominant.
Women don't have that need. Some are very driven but it's not in their DNA to go to war. Pool is war.
( beneath_the_sur and Joe_Jaguar didn't mean to hurt your feelings if I did I apologize. I'm rarely on this site but when I am this is the only username I use. I'm genuinely interested in this topic and just trying to figure it out with your guys help. Also men are obviously not better than women that would be a ridiculous and sexist statement and an insult to women. The sexes are just different. In the game of pool men tend to win more often, we're just trying to figure out why.)

Break strength...or lack there of...has nothing to do with at least one game...One Pocket and yet no women are anywhere near the top in that game either. If you gave the best women ball in hand after their break...regardless of a ball being made...they still couldn't compete with the top level men. Even if you argue that not as many women play pool...it still wouldn't explain why not "one" has ever been able to compete with the top male players. I've given this a lot of thought...and it can't be eyesight...muscle memory...brain power...physical size...etc. There should be at least a few women players in the world who can compete with the best men...but there just aren't. So it is a mystery...yet to be explained.
Same in 3 cushion, no strength needed but the best woman player only has averages of 1.5max
While men have games with averages of 2.5,4, 5,
Nothing at all to do with physical strength

Thank you.
Agreed. And it's not height either before anyone suggests it because plenty of short Filipino players.

Fast twitch fibers are more for power, slow twitch for endurance.
Men generally have a higher proportion of fast twitch fibers then women. The hormones differences affect structure and function as well, but I need not go into tall that I think.
Generally speaking a lot of the information disseminated in sports comes from athletic trainers and other such people, and there are many inaccuracies perpetuated. Athletic publications, both in print and online that are aimed at athletes contain and perpetuate a lot of misinformation about anatomy and physiology.
I think the nature of the cue sports makes the physical differences between men and women negligible in general.
Ultimately women can perform at the same level of men. Probably the participation numbers have a lot to do with the differences we see. Far fewer women pursue it seriously.

It is all about taking a Educated Risk -
Champion rated males execute it the best -
The women go conservative in the same spot -
Girls will duck and the dudes pull the trigger -
game here and a game there you will be left in the dust -
Do you take the bank to get out or do you go for the safe -- it's a tough spot to be in

Chopdoc? Do you think testosterone has an influence on focus or "will to win"?
I think there is a nature and nurture difference between men and women that makes men more likely to obsess over a single skill/hobby. Pair that with more men choose to play. That puts many more men in the field of skilled players reaping the rewards of long hours of practice and competition. It’s so rare for a world-class player to emerge from that field, so it’s very likely to be a man.

There's a reason more men choose to play.

Not really, man or woman - the scared player usually loses. Period.
Oh boy......
This will be true, but sound really bad.
Us "men", are by nature conquers. just the way it is. We always have been and always will be, until we give it away..........
If what I am saying is not true then show me where I am wrong.......
It is what separates us.......

Yes.
It influences brain development itself and is partly responsible for some of the differences between male and female behavior.
But there are more factors than that. Some women are very competitive and some men are not.

It has to do with our biological engineering. Men have always been the hunter. Hunting requires complete focus for the task. If they get distracted, no meat in the fire. While the men were hunting, the women were managing the camp. This requires multi-tasking, watching the kids, cooking the meat, cleaning the camp etc. While the men are focusing on that one crucial shot, the women are focusing on the shot plus their environment. It is just the way our brains are wired.
I agree that there’s an evolutionary psychology basis to it (amongst some cultural nurture). I think those factors bias what choices a man or woman will make for what they spend their time on and how that time is spent (like you’re saying). But I don’t think it actually limits their mental capacity either way (not that you’re implying that). If a woman chooses counter to those biases, her human brain is capable of anything a male brain is capable of. Women simply have a smaller sample size opting to go counter predilection. Smaller sample = less chances for a diamond in the rough to emerge.
It's obvious
We are getting a 2 ball spot. Take away the spot and we would be on level ground.
