I'm about as extroverted as it gets and I play online. I'm in lots of Skype chatrooms and talk to other players in those all the time. You can't really make these broad generalizations.
I played in casinos, probably not as much as Katie, but I've played WSOPC events and a decent amount of live cash and for the most part I've always found it to be pleasant. I've had zero problems with the men at my tables and to be perfectly honest the women I've played with annoy me much more than any men.
If I were like Katie and could live in MX and play on Stars I'd be happy as a calm because I prefer online to live but being in the US online sucks, I do it but it sucks. I'd rather play live any day.
A lot of women don't play because they're the ones taking care of the kids while the men shirk their responsibility and do as they please. As a rule a big % of women between 25 and 45 are taking care of the house and kids and working a full time job. The husband mows the yard and works and might throw in a kids bath time or bed time story once in awhile. It's just the way it is and has always been.
One of the biggest growing demographics in online poker pre BF was women over 40. The kids are becoming self sufficient and women this age and older are finally having some time for themselves. When Stars and FTP had all those poker shows on women were seeing that and becoming interested.
Interest in poker in general has dropped significantly since BF. Many US poker rooms have closed as a result.
I think it has to do with all these things.
