While I am female, I only know f2l.. but am learning the rest!!

I was wondering what your guys' [and girls'] opinions were on female cubers.. It very much seems to be a male-dominated .... sport? hobby? activity?

I read once somewhere, that female brains weren't tuned to the type of thinking that is needed to solve a cube..
Do you think this is true? Or do you have other suggestions as to why females don't cube so much??

.. I can see this getting quite sexiest... lol.

This guy you might know, inf3rn0.. he so is a creeper! My god..
I'm joking, I should stop ruining his rep on this site seeing as I'm new..
Ofc female cubers are cool..
That's why I'm learning, I figure I'll get guys swarming me when I whip out the cube and rip up like a sub10.
Cheee

Funny typo :P.

If you want more information on some fast girl cubers you can find it here.

I certainly don't think anyone could say girls aren't tuned to the type of thinking need to SOLVE a cube, and I don't have the information to judge what sort of (if any) general advantage any one sex would have over the other in cubing. I will say that there are some great female cubers, as you will see, and that I think the reason so many more males than females cube is probably due to cultural and societal reasons rather than anything innate.
 
WOAH, that is sexy!
I have seen that video though..
My friend who is teaching me to cube [inf3rn0.. the sexy thing!]
showed me it, and often sings it [yeah, i know, he's a bit of a loser.. sigh.]
I am personally a big fan of the sexy move, one of the first things I learnt!

I remember an experiment at US Nationals 2006 at the Exploratorium where there is a grid of maybe 15 green circles moving around randomly on a computer screen. Anywhere from 3-5 of these circles are highlighted in blue for a period of about 5 seconds or so, after which they fade back to the same green as the other circles. Your task is to track the motion of all the circles that were originally blue for up to maybe 10 seconds.

I remember the experimenter saying that typically women perform higher than men on average, and this has something to do with how women think vs. how men think. Anyway this experiment got me thinking about intuitive steps like F2L. If anything, it's probably more true that women, on average, have better potential than men, on average, to track pieces during these intuitive steps which involve lots of mini snap decisions.

I also think that the reason far fewer women are speedcubers than men must be societal or cultural in nature, and certainly not related to ability.

..Probably 'coz they wanted your pants!
Who can blame them, I hear female cubers are pretty :cool:

Ahh I'm so jealous of females who can ACTUALLY cube.. unlike myself.
Considering the percentage of girls who cube as apposed to guys, their times are pretty impressive.. Looking at the previous link.

I guess, like all thing, girls are just better than it at guys :rolleyes:

Don't worry, "Boxxy" is wrong.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November
the Gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason the gunpowder treason,
should ever be forgot.

I will be watching, as I have for several years, V for Vendetta on the 5th. Remember, remember, people!

P.S. I assume it's for the competition in Texas on the 14th.
 
awesome! I know that rhyme too.. YUSS!
But in my family we say the 4th of november as it is my darling older brother's birthday..!

But it's Cammy's birthday today so..
Remember remember the 2nd of November I guess..

It is very silly that the rhyme works with any date.
 
at my high school the girls are so into rubik's cubes, they can't be bothered to get their own cube so they act all cute and flirty so they can borrow the guys cube.
but my opinion in female cubers, it make them look smart holding a rubik's cube but if it was a female speedcuber it would be omg?! why so quick
