Why can't women play as good as men?

[MyraCurfs]

It's really pretty simple. Women lack the power stroke and I'll tell you why! I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but men just have way more experience stroking their sticks. You see, most women have that little, dainty, "oh-I-don't-want-to-break-it" stroke. Men know it isn't going to break and they aren't afraid to stroke it! Yeah, baby!

Whoeaaaaaaaa....you are to funny!!

1. Don't know, just met the chick.
2. See #4. Looks like I knocked her action right?
3. I never did either.
4. See #2. A player this good could care less if you know she's good or not.

I don't even know this girl, first time I ever played her and maybe I'll see her again sometime. I have no reason to lie about an unbelievable probably one in a million run I saw.

One in a million? But you said before that "this is not the best she can play". What's up with that?

Very interesting. This makes sense. I'd like to back this up with a quote from Elaine from Seinfeld:

Being a woman, I only have access to the equipment, what, 30-45 minutes a week, and that's on a good week. How can I be expected to have the same expertise as people who own this equipment and have access to it 24 hours a day their entire lives?

i don't know about comparing the two sides in skill... cus frankly, I think anyone can do anything they want to do be as good as they allow themselves to be. What I DO know is that a woman playing pool and playing WELL is one of the most beautiful things on this earth. Women not playing pool is the 2nd most...

And to all you ladies out there who play, just remember: You had me at "Race to 5?" <3

hehe, i really don't hope he is talking about pool, otherwise i was laughing my head of for nothing. But on the other hand. If he isn't talking about pool: should it not be the other way around.

We all know the answer to this question. I don't understand why everyone is beating around the bush about it.

Practice is the issue here. Let's say we have a girls age 15 and a boy age 15 both just starting to play pool. The girl is already at a 4 to 7 year disadvantage. That young lad has been practicing stroking for at least that long. He's getting the repetitive rhythm and timing down and toning those muscles. We aren't talking about just occasionally either. This is nearly constant. You just can't expect a girl to play pool better than a guy after this kind of training.
