Women - Are you good at playing pool?

I'm just interested as a lot of a time there will be questions like "Which one do I hit first?" "Why can't I just pot and win?" "I'm really terrible but I'll give it a go anyway" (my experiences only). But I've played a few who are just as good as men and just as competitive. This was when I was out and about in pubs and stuff. But is it just something that doesn't interest women? I think women's pool has gotten quite big globally but in England doesn't seem as much. I suppose though it could also stem from the pub and WMC culture that was mainly male orientated with darts, cards, pool etc.
Well?

I challenge you to a game, Sifter
i love snooker too but rarely play that.
Perhaps so, but there's always been a solid core of female pool players - only small numbers compared with male players though.
As someone who has played in various pool leagues over the years we used to hate playing a female player - it's a 'lose/lose' situation - if you win it's 'because it's only a woman', and if you lose it's 'beaten by a woman'
I'm exactly the same. After about 2 pints there is about 30 minutes where I become shit hot at pool, outside that I couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.
3 pints in I'm like a potting machine, it does fall apart around the 5th pint or so, sadly. Best player I know is female. *shrug*
Or can provide a great distraction. As can being short so having to practically climb the table to take a shot.
I'm a good player, my dad and brother were both pool champions and I've beaten them.
I also used to hustle a lot and did it in Jamaica where I made a pretty decent amount of money from this guy who was incensed that this girl from England was kicking his arse. Good times
Yes, I refereed a game between two friends (as part of a competition we held), Ian and the aptly named 'big Jackie' - about every second shot I called a foul, as every time Jackie leaned over the table her boobs stirred the balls
She was 48DD if anyone is interested - and not a bad pool player apart from her physical limitations
It's on :cool:
I can't play a shot along the cushion to save my life.
Yes, I love it! I play once a week at the pub but have been thinking lately I'd love to practice more.
