While playing pool do you let a girl win?

Question

just to clarifly to people saying im assuming im better, this question was specific to one girl i play pool with alot, she is pretty good but if i play my best i will win while she has 5 balls left on the table, should i let her get to near the black then win to keep it entertaining for her?

Answer 1

Of course you do. Then the next game you smoke her.

Answer 2

nay

but if she is horrible, i might choose risky shots-but then again, i might do the same with a fella that's not a prick

Answer 3

No, and I don't think the boys let me win either, I've got the trophy's from playing on leagues.

Answer 4

i try to win all the time but i realy suck

Answer 5

Sure, why not keep the mentality strong. I've made a lot of money off guys who are afraid that they may get beat by a women/girl, even if they gave it their all. It's a good fall back excuse.

Answer 6

Never, how would you like to be treated like that?

Answer 7

No.  You play your best game no matter who you are playing.

Answer 8

I guess it depends on who the girl is. If it's your sister or mother in law , or x wife, then i say never ever , no way in h**l. But if it's just a friend maybe letting her win will pay off for you later on, if you know what i mean. If it's your mom then you better let her win if you know what's good for you. lol

Answer 9

well no, but  you should give her a handicap to keep things interesting for the both of you.

Allison Fisher, arguably the most dominant pro female player, has no chance in the pro men's tournament. This is a fact.

Watch out for Filipinos and Midwesterners!!

Answer 10

honestly, i want the kind of guy who can beat me in most things, i like the challenge. and i definetely do not want to find out you let me win, how patronizing! if i win i want to beat you fair and square

Answer 11

Yes if you want to get a little bit of her.If you don't you are a jackass.

Answer 13

No Bro!! Dont let her win. No matter how hard she tries to distract you with them thingies!

Answer 14

heck no... they're already good as it is

Answer 15

i try to let them win everytime . easier than it sounds tho .i tend to go for crazy shots and yeah u guessed it they ******* go in ha ha at least try to let them get to the black

Answer 16

That is stupid, I am a girl and I am better than most guys. Don't assume you are better because you have a p***s.

Answer 17

Hello!

  I dont think this is a thing to do, then she will think your a *** :) So dont let her win even if you like her!

Thanks,

Answer 18

Only if you don't have any kind of sexual interest in her. Otherwise you shoud give your best and show her you're much stronger than her. Do it kind and naturally. Don't comment on it. Just do it.

Answer 19

she would have to win outright

Answer 20

I do not. My performance does not discriminate anyone.

Answer 21

In short, heck no.  Pool is unique in that it is a sport where men have no inherent advantages over women.  Men are naturally taller and generally stronger than women, which is why you won't see any female linebackers or centers in the NFL or NBA.  Pool, however, relies on technique and skill, as opposed to athletic prowess.  You could argue that men have an advantage because they're generally taller and therefore need to use the bridge less frequently, but since bridge use can be mastered, I don't consider that an advantage.  I've taken a couple of beatings in pool games due to my underestimating the opponent based on her gender.  That will not happen again.

Answer 22

I think if you like her you will take the time to teach her how to play.  If she knows you are going to let her win, then what reason is there for her to try to learn the game and that's what it's all about.  She may feel you are patronizing her just to get her in the sack.  A BIG TURN OFF!!!
