Why is the women/men ratio in poker so low? Why is the women/men ratio in poker so low?

Why would you say there are so many more men playing the game than women?

Is it only because we are smarter (obv) or do you feel there are other reasons as well?


Btw I put women in the title on top cuz I like it that way
09-17-2013 , 02:07 AM
No, that's the only reason. How could they compete with someone as smart as you?
09-17-2013 , 02:11 AM
I'm not sure you know what a woman is.
09-17-2013 , 02:14 AM

They're naturally more passive. The best poker players are far from intellectual powerhouses. College dropouts and Cates worked at McDonald's.

You are correct. I skipped over 'the best' bec of a prejudice on my part.

most women hate competing against guys, thats the main reason.
09-17-2013 , 03:58 AM
Thinking about it more, it's a little surprising. Women prefer socializing over doing activities in general. This is the perfect game to do both at the same time

I think there are more women in online poker than people realize.

Woman don't like risks
Plus they don't have free time AND disposable income that often

The ones that do are housewives whose husbands monitor their money so gambling would be no go, so many casual players with cash businesses lie to their wives about playing

This and Poker players are generally scumbags so why would they want to. You won't find many keepers at the 1/2 tables

Also women generally dislike gambling and are more risk adverse than men etc

Poker as a game naturally should not be appealing to women, it is too much of a fight, stressful, lots of risk etc.

It does not have attributes of games they tend to like such as social colaboration, farming, collecting etc.

Has nothing to do with intellect and more with motivations.

You could ask why do woman not play shooter? The answer is the same.

Men grow up thinking they're supposed to make a bunch of money so women will **** them.

Women grow up thinking they're supposed to find men with money to ****.

This causes women to ignore math class in school, because math is the one subject that they see ZERO value in helping them "get a man". They eventually fall behind in math, and because it's a linear-learning subject, they decide they "suck at math" and either don't pursue higher education or pick randomly from a list of majors based on which ones don't have any math.

In summary, by the time they're adults, Women both A) have less desire to try and make money for any reason other than to sustain themselves until they find a man, and B) think they're terrible at math and steer clear of anything requiring any sort of mathematical thinking, like poker.

no need to /thread. SGT RJ will nuke it as soon as she wakes up.

my theory is few women play because few women play. If more women played then more would play.
