Why is Women's Darts so poor?

[36TEAK36]

I have been a Darts fan all my life and am not too bad a player myself. I am just watching the womens Darts final, and as with previous years the quality of Womens Darts is not good. They can throw the odd good leg, but typically struggle to finish a leg in under 20 darts, which is about the level of an average player in my local Men's league. I can see no reason why Women should not be as good as Men at Darts, so I struggle to understand why professionally their game is behind the Men's. It's not just slighy behind, it is an absolute mile behind.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why Women cannot play Darts as well as men?

Well, Trina Gulliver has just won the title for about the 10th time, but I am not joking when I say that I would be fairly confident of beating her.

56? Lol I'm only 53 although some days I do feel 83. I agree with you though, I think Rhian scored the best but just struggled to finish. You have to admit though Trina is consistent. I love watching it though because it takes me back to my youth.

eek sorry xx

It also takes me back to my youth too.. The pubs and clubs have now closed when we played. I've no idea if Renfrewshire women's darts even exist nowadays

I thought that Trina Gulliver was playing a bloke until I heard she had left her engagement ring at home.

Doesn't seem to be so popular these days. I used to run leagues here in Sussex which have gone from two divisions of 8 to just one with 5 teams in. Very sad. Anyway, nice chatting but better some sleep. Night alba. x

That's quite unkind trt as she didn't have the short hair cut by choice. She has been ill.

[albaqwerty]

oh now now trt she might be chunky but I did have a slight thought myself :D

[trt]

Nothing to do with her hair Jan, she just looked like a bloke with her masculine body, or maybe a lesbian.

[Jan1957]

Not sure why you think that just because she was plump she was a lesbian. And yet it is Trina that is. Not that it bothers me but it seems to you. Anyway, night night.

night jan x

leagues have dropped here too

never knew she'd been illl but I'd agree with trt :D

[albaqwerty]

I couldn't care less about anyones sexuality. It's theirs and theirs alone

[Jan1957]

Sorry alba, that was meant for trt.

[albaqwerty]

absolutely no prob jan x

and I've no problem with trt either :D I guess it's just the typed word which doesn;t allow any of us to express vocal stuff which would be better understood
