Girls in forum?

^ yeah i was wondering that too..

(off-topic)
pjk, would you happen to know if they are having the us open (or whatever its called) in Chicago in '08? if you had info it would be great, seeing as i will go to it if it happens....

Most of those guys use a method made by a girl.

Oh, you know that is such a good point. I can't believe it! Never mind, Miss Fridrich is in no way inferior (in cubing terms) to us males, unlike the majority of females, who are either inferior, or just aren't interested. If you keep on working at it Miss sln, you could be the top female cuber in the world!!

I have tons of friends that cube that are female. I don't know of many females on here though. Isn't that weird that it is mostly males that find the cube fascinating?

I can say that about a bunch of other activities too, like StarCraft for example (another male-dominated activity, at the pro levels anyway).

 

[Dyste]

She'll have to go through Miss Dzoan first.

 

[Dene]

Well I have a lot more competition to get through to be the top male . I don't think that she has too much to complain about

 

[Lofty]

Yea I think I have only heard of one female progamer and I have never seen her play.

 

[Dyste]

Well, they'll only get better. You might need to wait until they retire. (It might be a while.)

 

[badmephisto]

well its the same thing with women and their fascination of say... physics or computer science or math... And we already saw that most of us here also have passion for some form of those 3 that I mentioned...

No they don't.

Jessica Fridrich, I must admit, is not a female from the beginning (even on her site it signs "Jerry Fridrich").

I saw the picture of each competitor at WC1982 in a book (the US guys were looking at them), including Fridrich in there. Later when I was doing the 42 cubes marathon, Rhodri and Rowe were talking about it, trying to distract me xD

Doubtful, as we had it there earlier this year (June). However, the place is undecided right now.

Okay, I've heard this before that Jessica Fridrich was a male first and I didn't believe it and I still don't need it. Where are the pictures? :confused:

Always, I got 5 of my friends that are girls to learn how to cube; only one of them manges to sub-1. :/ Girls are vastly underrepresented in the cubing community.

 

[Lofty]

I have taught one girl how to cube and she caught on very quickly. (yay UF honors students) but she didn't stick with it and I never see her anymore. The rest of the girls I know have no interest in learning how to solve the cube.

I don't think you meant "always". Anyway, I don't believe that females have much of an interest in such things. I doubt even those in sciences would. The majority seem more intent on providing a good management of the aesthetics of their appearance, oddly intrigued by fashion, boys, and things of that nature. Or, otherwise, they're just extremely lazy and like to eat and sleep.

i was just wondering if i was the only girl here, sorry if i offended anybody by this comment.....

You're not the only one. We are not so many girls in cubing, it feels like a boys club sometimes.
