Blonde Poker battle of the sexes!

[Heid]

There's no easy way to answer that last post!

Dewi, darling you can come round my house and do my washing up anytime you want!

It's too early on a Sunday to be able to work out the thin line that last post was possibly crossing!

I'm still confused!

[Dewi_cool]

No need to be, I think what I tried to say was indeed what I said and let that be the end of it

[ifm]

brilliant Dewi, pmsl

[Heid]

So do you also sing "I'm a lumber jack, and I'm alright" Dewi?

and do you take bookings?

[Trace]

Pinny, Mop and Duster waiting at my house for Dewi!

Instructions on how to use the Hoover are fastened to it.

Washing has been done.  Dishwasher needs emptying and refilling.  Kids bus fare and dinner money needs sorting.

Spare key at neighbours - I'm off out to the pub to get leathered.

Evening meal needed at 6pm, and it better be on the table waiting when I fall through the door!




Nough said!

Kiv knows how to wear a skirt as well, get him down there!

[TightEnd]

I have just finished...a weeks Ironing, cleaned the house top to bottom, changed the beds, paid the bills, polished my shoes, sewed on two loose buttons and fixed a kids bike.. I am available to any damsels in domestic distress, just don't ask for poker lessons....

[Trace]

I owe an apology to Chili - I didn't read the list of names properly when I typed Fish next to them.

I have since edited that post.

My sincere apolgies Chili - no way are you a fish, unlike the others on the list.

Will you marry me?  I am particulary attracted by the 'paying the bills' part........

I tell you boys something .. if you have ever been treated some of the ways us girlies have been treted at a card table, you'd undertand - Ginger - I know where you are coing from (well done BTW!)

The number of times I have sat down somewhere, and was treated with contempt until I crumpled someones ego with some good cards - THEN I get treated like a human being

Why do you lot think we like it here so much??

Cause you are decent to us and treat us like equals (apart form this thread you cavemen!!<g>). I've been to a lot of forums and this is pretty much the only one where it happens - hence why I parked my arse here

If you haven't travelled down the same road as us, you really can't tell us how bumpy it is

We'll see you boys on the tables!

So right - I thought when I worked in the city I was treated badly in a mans world but at the poker tabel - wow!

It's not always the norm - in the big comps people get to know you and are pleasant - but in the smaller comps I have been really shouted at - and that was when I sat down - some men really try and intimidate the women - i suppose it's gamesmenship but they should try winning through their cards 

It can be advantagous though - one guy at the Vic really didnt believe that at any time I could have better cards then him - it was wonderful - he couldn't look at me when he left the table.....hehe.

really looking forward to this comp - I wish it were face to face - men play worse against women in real life than on the net - i think it's way we lean over the cards that puts them off........

   Its ok Trace, not a problem.  It did make me laugh though.

As for treatment of us lady's on these testosterone laced tables - I must say things are not too bad recently where i play.  I don't know if it is because i am more of a regular and menfolk have just got used to the fact that i will not be intimidated, or that alot of my family play in Nottingham so i get some respect!
But, saying that, a few years ago was a different story.  I used to get dirty looks and even tuts!! I have to say this was mainly from older generation greek blokes who could not understand why i was not at home married with 6 kids and cooking their dinners!  One unamed "man" even approached my dad and said how could he let his daughter come to "a place like this and play poker!"

I have never let anything like this get to me or upset me, in fact i could even thank them for fuelling my ambitions further and make me pity them.  Ok end of rant.

I'll get my coat, byeeeeeee
