thatīs just sexist....
AND wrong.
Because after all everybody who succeeds in poker has done so by working very hard, not by being a woman, a man or anything else.
Certain "talents" might give people a headstart but i donīt think thereīs a max. level depending on your gender.

Also i was just going to make a stupid comment about women being sexist, too.So everything else is improvised and might be horribly wrong too.

I read a post a few days ago saying something like : " Iīd hate it if i would have worked my ass of to do something great and people would just assume i was just talented and didnīt really put much work in it".

Recognizing general differences between males and females is NOT sexist. It's only sexist when you stubbornly propose those differences apply to every individual in the group.

Do you think it's a coincidence no woman has ever won a Fields Medal in mathematics, despite many female mathematicians working very hard in their professional careers? Maybe this is because there is a max. level depending on gender, and while it may not be fair to say it will never be broken, it is fair to say breaking it would be an extremely rare exception.

^^^agree. Similar to saying there are no physical or mental differences among the races, and then this fact about the 100m sprint: "the 10.00 barrier had been officially broken 446 times, 445 of those times by men of West African descent."

The standard deviation in IQ is higher in males than in females. Thus expect many more uber smart men, but also many more ******ed men fwiw. I do think that there is some sort of male predisposition towards stuff like maths, memorizing etc.

I sometimes add things in wiki for a laugh and they get snap pulled out. I'm always amazed a how quickly they sort it out.

OK this sounds really weird and probably gonna put me on ignore or something for it. No I'm not going to ask you to send me some toenail clippings with a signed baseball glove or anything.

As a member of the female sex, do you look up to the likes of Phil Ivey, PA, durrrr, and the likes and fanboy on them like so many other poker players? If the answer is yes, does that fanboyism turn into something more than just being a fanboy? Like an actual attraction or a crush to the point where you would want to go on dates with them and get married and stuff?

I understand other girls exist in this world, but this is the first one that I've had an opportunity to ask this kind of question to that is involved in the poker world and seems pretty cool.

Yeah that was the point i was trying to make, because i know quite a few young intelligent women who snap at every1 even implying that women might be generally worse in some stuff than men.(mostly physical activities, dunno if there is anything else)

Also if this is a well now:
Melanie Weisner sounds German, are you ?
Whats better:
Coke or pepsi
Football or Handegg
