Women in Paintball !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matt bryant]

I am not sexist and have to say that girls could be as good as blokes but if u take women in general ( not the hard bearded ones) men have a great physical advantage. I have to sortta agree with crom-dubh because it is a fact that most blokes can run faster than women and are a lot more aggressive. But sure women could be as good as blokes, its just like saying that black people can't swim, there must be a few out there that can (eric the eel from the olympics)

I think the 'men are more aggresive' statement is very true but thats not necessarily an advantage in all situations now is it, in fact it's a distinct disadvantage to be over aggressive in some situations.

hmmm....

While it's true that women can play aggressive and competetive sports we must keep in mind the raw genetics that accompany gender. While women CAN play football, i would like to see a team of the best girl football players up against a team of even the worst men's pro football team. If the physical aspect of paintball gives men the advantage by strength, speed, and aggressiveness, then the answer is inevitable. (all the world records in speed, strength, etc. are held by men.)

Did you know that there is now a NWFL,(womens football league), i personally think the NWFL is like a disease without any symptoms....think about it.

I'm not any more sexist than God was when He created us.....

yep booga ur right. I remember doin that in P.E class a few years ago. It woz a graph. It showed that you play at ur best when u r reasonably pumped up but if u get too aggressive it all goes down hill

Of course women can be as good as men at this sport it's the steroetypical view that should be questioned here....many folks have said "I am not sexist" and then gone and stereotyped women again...????

A women can be good at anything they put ther're minds to and are proving themselves at all levels of todays society/armed forces/management etc.........why should this sport be any different??

I have a female freind that has served in Bosnia and is currently ...somewhere very hot serving abroad...location unknown...I wouldn't tangle with her she's one tough broad.

Just my 2 cents

There are a couple of lasses that play with us and they hold their own on the field. I have alot of respect for them ( except when they are on the other side, then it's war). I don't see why they can't be just as good as men. I think it all depends on the people they play with and how they treat them. We treat everyone the same regardless of gender and thats the way it should be across the board.

Depends

I believe that women have the ability to be as good as men from a physical standpoint. I have seen large male players that could play tight and shoot great, but could not run worth a damn. While women might never be able to become as strong or as fast as men, the sport of paintball does not require these traits. It is beneficial to be fast and strong, but it is not necessary. Out-thinking your opponent, not getting hit, and shooting well are not male traits.

That being said, I do not believe that women will become as good as men. I say this because most women feel they will be ridiculed if they play paintball. Not many women are confident enough to try and play paintball for the first time, and most will not stay in the sport, mostly because of the ridicule they will face.

My head hurts.

hello again Robbo

so this is the reponce to my shoe habit, if you read the eppic 6 pager you will see the fairer sex agree with me on the shoe thing.
Also a few of the blokes are aware of this female inclination to footwear.

Can women be as good as men?

Well you sure did go for this guns blazing.

All the guys so far have coceeded we could mabey, possibly we could be, it's a rank outsider but lets face it is paintball the grand national.

yes the guns are heavy yes it get scarry some times


But I think other than the up keep of being a girlie and girlie stuff comes ( first straw poll figures)

There are no female role modles all the great players are male.

I can only think of two known women in paintball the lovley bonnie and your equally beautiful daughter. I do not know if either of them plays at any level.

Not only is it the money thing there is also the non playing boyfreind at home.

Fact men in general can't cope with inteligent independant women.

It's a novelty factor to start with and then spoken or un spoken causes problems.

Many a good woman was lost in child birth it didn't stop in 1860.

once the majority of women have kids things stop in some cases life in general very few of my female freinds with children go out spend money on them selfs and many are fluent in telly tubbie.

So if women are ever going to be as good in compertion paintball
they have to over come all of this and more.

Before they do that they need to find out for them selfs just what a great sport it can be how much fun it is and the pure rush when game on is called and your all out there shouting the odds against the common enemy the other team not possible fellow players.
