[QUOTE="Four Dogs, post: 2128922, member: 2668"]
Nobodies denying women opportunities to play but if they were really as interested as men they'd create their own opportunities. There's no reason women couldn't get games going with their buddies (women don't call their friends buddies, do they?). Men make their own opportunities, they set up their own games, they seek them out, they drive 90 miles to casinos to play. They just seem more interested.

Of course this doesn't apply to all women. It doesn't even apply to my own wife and to be fair she does have a regular 1/month game with several of her "Buddies".  And they seem to have a great time so I guess exposure is a part of the equation but I don't think it's the whole story. Without intending to sound Chauvinistic, in some ways women and men are just different and poker might be one ways in which those differences are manifested. It doesn't mean women can't be great poker players and it doesn't mean that exposure to the game won't increase their participation but as a whole women will never have the level of fascination toward the game that men do.

This should be it's own thread. I'm sure it already is.
