girls and paintball

[TheJester]

i was talking to a retarded "acquaintance" of mine, i can't really call him a friend, cause i really don't hand out w/ him much, but we're on good terms, well we were, not sure now. but i was telling him about a girl i know who want to play more paintball, she's only played like twice, and really likes it. but his responce was that he didn't know that they let girls play paintball, and that kinda pissed me off. yes, it is mainly a male domninent sport, but i love a girl who plays, i wish more played, i think a girls+paintball=hot. i think girls that play are cool, addes a little more to a game, if a girl is at the field it makes it seem less of a game of just a bunch of guys shooting the hell out of eachother just to find out who's the 1 holding the big dick of the circle jerk.(mod's, girl's...sorry for the saying, but isn't that what we're doing when it's just us guys, see who's bigger and better) and makes it seem more like a sport. so yea, i wish there were more girls that played, i would love to have a girlfriend that played, like get hooked up w/ a girl from the feild, like if there were indentical twins standing side by side, 1 was all dolled up for prom, and the other was in a jersey, just off the feild covered in paint, i would take the paint covered 1.
or at least get a girlfriend to play

i realize i may be starting a real hell storm of battel of the sexes, but to you other guys, what do you think about the few girls that actually play?

and girls, what's your opinion on this?

so even though it's up there, i think a girl playing paintball is cool

I say... a shot to the head sends you to the dead box, whether a guy or girl sent it.

I think that people need to grow up and realize that girls can play sports just as well as guys ... and anyone who doesn't needs to dig their head out of *The place* and grow up.

If ya need proof, I have a 5'0 friend who will bunker you when she plays ... and she's "hot" by stereotypical standards as well (ya know, societies version) ... so how'd ya like to be a big guy bunkered by a 5'0 modelesque girl ya never saw coming?



Sincerely,
Dave K

Being in the same bunker along with a hot chick... are you sure the guys just let her bunker them to try and get her number?

I have always found that the girls are more aggressive that the guys that I have reffed weither they have something to prove or not ( being a mostly male dominated sport). I personally think it is great to see girls playing nad almost laugh out loud when I see a girl bunker a guy who has been trash talking in the staging area.

dude, girls tht play rawk, I agree, id love to have a girlfriend that played, and well havoc is one luckey guy! but still, some men are pompus freaks, and they thing they are the ultra male and canot accept that females can do the same if not better things as males

My take on the "girls who play" thing is this:

I see 2 types of girl players.

1 type is the one that comes out with her boyfriend, not really interested in playing, just there to be doing something together. Usually she is not playing particularly well, just shooting occasionally. Not really much of a factor.

The other type is just like any other guy playing. As fast and aggressive (sometimes more than) their male counter parts. They are interested in playing, not just because their boyfriends do it.

I have 2 teenage nieces that fall into the second catagory. One of them has just started to ref at her local field.

how old are your nieces? and are either of them on the east coast? no i'm just picking, that's wrong to do.

i have yet to meet a "type 1" girl, but those types would actually prolly annoy me, just cause i was never much for the i'll do anything for my bf type. or the i'll follow him just to make him happy type. i like girls how are independent, and will follow their own set of morals no matter what

As a disclaimer yes im an egotistical male ******* but I do support women playing paintball. Played with em before and will again.

Paintball is a niche sport for a few reasons. Its considered an extreme sport, the locations for play are becoming more and more common but they still dont exactly dot the landscape, its pretty damn expensive, and you have to have a certian degree of physical and mental toughness to play.

this is one of the reasons girls are going to be a minority in a sport like paintball.

When you get shot with a paintball it hurts. Not much but it hurts. The real thing that can hold people back is the mental toughness. Having a ****load of people sending volleys in your direction, that can be intimidating. Now you can either roll to your back or you can snap-shot back, its your choice. But most girls (call me sexist) arent going to have a background that a guys going to have involving sports like this. Most girls didnt play pop-warner football. Most girls didnt get shot buy their older brothers with a BB gun. Most girls dont go out, get drunk, (well they do that part) then get into brawls at Ghillies in Portsmouth (ghillies plug) at 2am. Thats not sexist, thats just the truth.

Paintball is a sport that appeals to guys. A bunch of dudes drinking beer and shooting at each other with guns. Thats a guy sport. Woman arent shunned, and shouldnt be, but most will not be drawn in by the general image of the sport of paintball.

hey, read the latest issue of APG...theres a woman advocating every team must have 20% women on it.....interesting...affirmative action his paintball

disugusting idea if you ask me

[Klay01]

Hot girl + paintball = OWNAGE

[MCollier]

.

That idea of 20% woman on teams...

I dont support affirmative action.

I dont support Title IX

Both are untrue to classic american values. Hardwork, Natural Talent, and a little bit of luck you can beat anyone / do anything no matter what sex/race you are, because when your the best, your the best.
