Default girls?

I play more poker than most, not as much as some, but it's all online. I'd say for every hour of play, I put in an hour of reading books, posts, working PT, etc. So, putting in 30hrs/wk would actually take 60hrs/wk. This makes playing semi-pro or pro a time-consuming ordeal.

I figure playing poker in a casino may be another option, I'd have a chance to meet more people. Ever meet new friends or girls in a casino that you've had a chance to get to know outside of poker? This includes girls playing poker, waitresses, whoever.

Why don't more girls play poker? Do they also have hobbies that consume their lives?

Girls usually don't have as many hobbies as guys. They also usually don't have as much money as guys, and they usually don't stay up as late. Girls that are exceptions to this and that have a little gamble in them are prime candidates for playing poker.

Vincent:

Guys bond over competition - sports/video games, girls bond more on relationship/clique issues. Poker has historically been a guy bonding thing (poker night). Girls need to be brought into the game by someone they know and trust like a relative or boyfriend. There seems to be a similar % of girls interested in poker as girls interested in video games.

Most girls don't play poker because most girls don't play poker.

Why is it "needless to say"?
