My points stand, naysayer or no. It seems like I think one way, you think anther, and neither can scientifically prove the other wrong. | |

typically, yes. but what we don't know is how and to what extent with regards to the trucks. |

As a wider point, I think it's silly to believe that society is somehow artificial, that it wasn't deeply influenced by our human nature as well as our human past. It should definitely be subject to change to try to exist in an ever-changing world, but it's a perfectly sensible position to point out that if we're on step 10,000 somewhere very near step 1 boys were acting like boys do today and girls were acting like girls do today and society has grown around that. | |

There was some guy that minted chess masters out of his kids, 2 boys and 1 girl I think. While the girl was the first female chess grandmaster, I think she peaked at like number 10 in the world. | |

I'll clarify. Im arguing the difference between a scientific 'truth' and those from psychology. No, we dont know for a fact that the earth revolves around the sun. We know that we've studied the earth's movement for centuries, are really really good at predicting where we'll be, and it appears that we've orbited the sun for longer than we've studied it. I suppose its possible the planet decides to jump 30000ft out of orbit one day, but its pretty safe that we 'know' it wont. | |

JKDS, I don't get your resistance to this and you're being somewhat obtuse, which I find weird. Of course LEGOS or Rubik's Cube or whatever aren't hard-wired into our psychology but as Rilla said, LEGOS represent a class of things that interest boys. In previous generations or centuries, it would have been building blocks and puzzles or what not. | |

Getting back specifically to gaming, it seems to me that there are plenty of hardcore female gamers, but the difference is the percentage of men between the ages of 18-45 who have logged serious time playing video games is magnitudes higher than those of women. | |

Reminds me of how Japan is complaining because no Japanese can win the top spot in sumo wrestling anymore. It's all Mongolians. | |

Is typing a different type of skill than typical gaming? Before she died, the fastest typist was a she, and from what I can tell she probably could have broken that record under the testing and training that the current holder has. I see no reason to think of it as any different from gaming. The hand eye coordination is there. |

Sure, lots of people like the things. Enough to create it in the first place. But women used to be encouraged to play with dolls, still are mostly, and men used to be encouraged to play sports, and still are mostly. Theres a ton of societal pressure going on there | |

we don't expect that the person who puts the most hours in gets the best results, and this certainly doesn't suggest a gender divide. |

still i think the best explanation is testosterone. it's what gives men the desire to put in more hours and admit defeat less |

If you put males under those same conditions, they would blow the women out of the water. | |

Unrelated, but Susan Polgar is a fucking cunt. I worked on a team with her and her husband (who is also a cunt) on some projects around 2004-2007 or so. They were both kicked out of the US Chess Federation in 2008-2009 after pulling a bunch of scumbag moves. | |

A large percentage of the top current 500 players in the world followed a path like I described. No women have in history. | |

JKDS and Wuf, just reading through the thread you two seem to be being intentionally obtuse at times. Like the "Legos haven't been around long enough for us to evolve" line should be looked back at as a red flag for you JKDS. A ton of evidence has been posted that points towards gender roles being influenced by hormones, yet your only response is "nothing is proven, and it either is cultural or hormonal, so 50/50" along with "here's an anecdote." | |

I honestly haven't even thought about poker. Did we ever, or do we currently have any female members that are consistent beyond low stakes? As far as I remember this forum is a huge sausage party outside of the commune. | |

poker is inherently a dude game. it's basically a different form of the "one-up" game (something boys do but girls don't. they play the "me too" game instead). as for succeeding in poker, i would describe that as one of the most testosterone infused things you can do. it requires a nutsack of adamantium and an inability to overly second-guess yourself. neither of which are common among the estrogenies. |

I've watched your stream yesterday for a bit. Then I watched some Dwan HU today, and I'm thinking it's time to play some poker again. And as soon as I remember where I put my secure key I'm cashing in my ftp's and start a roll again. | |
