Women in pool tournaments

All the talk about some of us wanting women playing in the US Open 9 Ball Championship got me to thinking about something else; how women dress at pool tournaments.

First off, let their be no mistake, I LOVE to look at a nice looking woman and if she is a little hot that just pleases me even more. Even though I am happily married it doesn't change that the fact that I appreciate an attractively dressed woman.

But what I'm talking about here is the distraction that a REALLY HOT LOOKING GAL can bring to the table. You know what I'm talking about.....
Like the low-cut blouse with the cleavage showing, the short blouses, you know the ones where they show a little "belly" skin and what about the short skirts or short dresses showing some "extra" leg or more. Don't even talk about those long elegant dresses with the slit up the sides.....

I'm a little embarassed to admit that the way a woman dresses when she plays pool can affect my performance at the table. Shoot... if a really hot dressed chick is playing pool a couple of tables away, I have to fight myself to pay attention to what's happening at my table.

I know that a lot of you T & A guys would like to throw some rotten tomatoes at me about right now but I would want to see the women have a dress code that prevents them from providing these type of distractions.

I admire a woman who dresses up real nice but when she pulls out those extra tools in a pool match I want to kick myself in the head for being so weak that those extra tools distract me from concentrating on my game.

I guess I am admiting that I can be distracted by a scantily dressed woman. :o Yes, I'm weak. I admit it but now I want to know what some of you think.

Does anyone think that a woman should be required to cover up some of that skin if they are competing in a pool tournament?

Do you think that women should have a particular dress code in pool tournaments?

Does anyone else get distracted like me or am I alone in this?

Do you think the extra attraction is worth the price of distraction?

All righty then, pull out your big guns. My foxhole is deep and I'm wearing my helmet. :duck: :outtahere:

I'd love to know what the ladies thing as well so don't be shy about chiming in.

Thanks,

Im a woman and play pool so there have been times Ive used that to my advantage in a game for cash not in a tourney.

I would have to agree that there should be a bit of a dress code to follow if its a mixed event because to be truthful, many men already have issues playing hard against women anyway then add to it the sexual tension if the woman plays the card of dressing sexy and its a sad mess of a man that ends up on the table. Sorry fellas.........I used to love doing that and wouldnt anymore not that i could now anyway Im too old!
Its probably going to draw opinions from both sides just like any topic should but it will be fun to watch what everyone thinks.
 
please

Go watch Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon .The battle of the sexes is
brought to life in the movie when the couple fight for about a day only
to establish who is the dominate one in the affair. I feel that I should
be able to deal with whatever is at the table no matter what .Yes it's
tough at times and I love a woman who knows how to put it all together
All I can do is work on my game and gain any respect I have starting
there and how I treat others . A camera or a dress will never gain the
respect that a well played game will by either sex . That's all I got ...

They were talking about pool I think...:cool:
 
The first mistake you are making is that you are playing a woman. You should always be playing a competitor. Shes a lady before and after the match but during the match she is a competitor. As any competitor you want to destroy them and beat them 11-0 if possible. This is the only attitude you should have when playing pool to win.
 
I believe the WPBA has a dress code but not all the women are required to follow it - surely why would they follow one in a mixed event.
 
Then answer to women dressing sexy to bother the guys is for the guys to dress like plumbers complete with crack. Make sure that any shot where the woman will be viewing at the right angle that the crack is in full view. Of course you need to unbutton your shirt to the waist and show off a gold chain that says SuperStud on it. Make you you compare all your shots to sexual conquests. That ought to do it.

When I play women I just look at the table. I get into where the balls are try to play ahead.

Whenever I think about my opponent being a woman I play worse. However it's only through more experience that I get over gender and play the player.
 
I think the guys wake up after the first loss to a woman that he should have beat. After my first loss to a woman I knew I was better than I woke up fast. Now I tune all players out and just play the table. Johnnyt

That's never been an issue with me. it doesn't really matter who i'm playing. it's just someone else to try to beat.

i tell you what does keep me from preforming. hangovers!!!!

if she's hot then just lock it in the "spank bank" for later.

EXACTLY!!! Why should women be allowed to enter an on going MEN'S tournament when men aren't allowed to enter WPBA?? There are too many "Ladies Only" tours out there for people to be crying about women being allowed to play in the US Open... It's really kind of unfair to be honest. Ladies get the opportunity to knock men out of the money in tournaments, but men don't get to go knock them off. If they do good in the Open event they possibly have a chance to double dip in a Ladies Only event. So, let's say they don't do so well in the Open event they can always run back to their safety net Ladies Only tour and stand a chance.

I'm not saying that there isn't women out there who can play, because there is. There is some very good women players and they are very capable of beating lots of male players, but if they get beat they can always just go back to beating up on the Ladies Tours and we can't follow them.

I guess the men are required to look like gentlemen and women sexy. I don't mind until women try stuffing their sexy into a shirt and pants that don't fit. God took great care designing women and the parts that should flop out. I am sure a big roll around the pant and belly shirt wasn't one of them.

As I love to say....

A prerequisite of a belly shirt is the lack of one...

Spandex is a privilege not a right...

Then again I actually have fashion demerits cards I use to give out in bars

Sorry to disappoint you poolplayer, but from what I hear that goes on at the WPBA tourneys - it is very true in regards to the dress code and some of the women being held accountable towards it.
 
I'm weak enough to let a cute girl throw me way off. With that said I am also not shy so once I figure out whether I have a chance with her or not I will be able to play my game. I figure if I win she will think I'm a stud muffin and wanna wipe me down like a CD skipped. If I have no chance with her anyway than I gotta go all 'Drago' on their ass "if she dies, She dies"...I'm just sayin y'all!

I never notice

Joey,

It's like I told my ex, I don't even notice the blonde in the high heeled sandal things with laces up to her knees in the tight white hotpants and yellow halter top with the little red polka dots and most everything hanging out of it. I most particularly don't notice that extra twist to her butt that she needed to walk across the room!

I can usually tune out any allure of the lady I am playing, I have competed head to head with enough women that could match me or beat me that I am pretty much trying to take care of business competing. Occasionally I am distracted by others in the room though. I have had the girlfriend gag pulled on me a few times, the guy I was gambling with had his girlfriend or wife put on a show. That didn't work since I knew the game.

This was a little concern since my wife's hair had more than a little red in it: My wife and I were playing another couple and the first time the other woman bent over facing me I made the discovery that the trick dress she was wearing that looked demure enough with her standing up dropped down about a foot when she bent over and revealed she wasn't wearing any undergarments, top or bottom! I've hustled enough in the topless bars and played my friends enough that worked in them when they were killing time to fade the peep show, my concern was what would happen when my wife noticed it was going on!

I've played quite a few girls, and I've never lost my concentration over how they dress or walk.

I'm there to win, no matter what my opponent looks like.
