Philosophy / Girls and pen spinning?

Date: Mon, Nov 12 2007 06:42:19
Just out of curiosity, how many of the "pros" out there are female? It seems that most of them are guys... I mean, I know a lot of girls who can do charge or TA, but it just doesn't seem like they're very enthusiastic about getting really good at psing, except for maybe one or two of them. Is there some reason for this? Or do I just know a lot of weird people who aren't into psing?

You dont see as many female spinners for the same reason you dont see a large population of guys who take up quilting as a hobbie.
There are no pro girl spinners....there are good female spinners but none that i would consider pro. Sorry, zblader :x -

Women are shit at anything difficult, and it is for that reason alone that there are not many female pen spinners.

idk, i got my g/f into it, so far she has, sonic rise, TA, weisan backaround down. she's only been spinning for a couple weeks:P

Hmmm. I'm curious to know what causes you to think that way. -
Date: Mon, Nov 12 2007 07:40:43
well....I think it's because women easily get angry and just stop or skip when they can't do a trick...my sister is like that....so I'm not one to judge cause it's only one girl...
although...I don't really think like that of girls...only the um 'feeling' ones....lol -
Date: Mon, Nov 12 2007 07:54:21
That makes sense...yeah, girls can be pretty emotional. (And after going to an all-girls school...oooh man. If you hang out with the wrong people, it's like PMS every day...)

Or it could just be that we are all generally stupid enough to spend so much time doing this and similarly useless things.

On RPSC there is only one girl (my girlfriend
). Her skill isn't pro, because she's too lazy to learn more tricks. But I can't say that girls are "shit" in psing and other "difficult things". And I think that it's very strange that there are few girls in ps -
Date: Mon, Nov 12 2007 12:20:13
Well...I don't know what to say althought girls can be as good as you're. I don't understand why some psers makes comment like " Women are shit at anything difficult, and it is for that reason alone that there are not many female pen spinners."
annd I'm sure your not the only one thinking like this. Well on y**tube you can see video from us(other penspinnerettes) I hope you will change our mind, because we can be as good as you in ps
(I'm sorry for my bad english X'D) -

please don't take it seriously...not all pen spinners think like that...or at least not me....my only possible reason for saying that is for what I posted but I don't really think ALL girls are" Women are shit at anything difficult, and it is for that reason alone that there are not many female pen spinners."....please don't be against men pen spinners for that one comment....made by one...

Date: Mon, Nov 12 2007 14:07:55
i think it's because pen spinning is an underground community within the Net communities, so it is harder to found, and women in general are less prone to get into the deeper realms of Internet (only scratch the surface with myspace, facebook, and the more popular ones)
Also men are usually very competitive, so they want to be good at what they do.
K4S, there are pro female spinners in PDS. But most are too shy to make them known. -

Ah, cool...i should have known better with their ps'ing community over 200K there were bound to be a couple female pro spinners. -

I'm sure that there are a fair amount of penspinner girls but they just don't make themselvs know a whole lot. I guesse us guys just have a little to much time on our hands.

watch mats, you're treading on the boundaries of sexism, and personal experience cannot lead to generalization
you've talked about it in your blog, which is fine, but not here.

Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 00:35:56
Well you know that girls keep their nails long right? ehhehe That's why prolly some of them arent good.
But Im teaching my gf, she can do thumbaround so far. -
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 00:38:23
I don't understand why people get this seriously......I think everybody can be a pser.......Don't think like :"They're very bad at psing cause they are girl"............
-
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 01:23:11
Frankly speaking, I myself don't have any pen spinning friends around me. I always hope to have one =(
But so far, my impression for pen spinnings are mostly guy's hobby. Its rare to find a girl who can pen spin. -
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 03:11:25
Haha Mats is probably single and will remain single for quite some time with that attitude
Female brains are different from male brains *gasp*...maybe something like penspinning just isn't "wired" to pique their interest -
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 03:22:57
Well, to me, I think girls lose their patience when they can't do a trick. For example, the girls in my class. When I kept on doing TA Harmonic, I saw them trying to do "Thumbaround" and they were not sucessful, so they threw the pen. They do that after they try to do one unsucessful-thumbaround. Since they lost their patience on one of the tricks, it's harder for them to move on to a more advanced trick. But about 3-4 girls can do thumbaround in my school. And I meant that by the entire school. That's what I think.
P.S. I agree with Crzyazn's comment on Mats
-
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 03:33:32
lol, how come i didnt throw the pen away? i got three years spinning pens, so im cool. xD. XD. most of the patience i have now is due to pen spinning. ;>. it taught me that difficult things can be achieved if i am determined to get them. ;>. but that's just me
.
I agree with Zombo about the underground thingie. ;>. There is no way a girl can find about pen spinning without someone telling her about it. Sometimes, that occurs with males too
. xD. You guys just surf a little bit more on the interwebz. xD.
I loved pen spinning the first time i saw it. <3. XD. -
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 04:12:22
Haha, come to think of it, a lot of the girls I know would rather spend their time shopping or surfing myspace. I don't think they've discovered the wonders of google...
I suppose it takes a certain type of girl to get interested in pen spinning...and it seems that these are rare. -
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 05:12:08
girls are genetically the same as boys, except for an x chromosome instead of a y so hypothetically, we are not that different.
there are quite a lot of girls who know the simple stuff, but probably never wasted their time trying to develope the intrest farther. maybe we just have no life....l -
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 05:27:10
before Internet became popular... I'm pretty sure there were MORE girl spinners than guys... cuz from what I remember that's what happened.
-
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 05:28:07
i'm actually the only student in my class who can ps and i'm a girl... i first learnt how to do the sonic then charge from a girl too and now i hear that in my old church, other girls want to learn how to ps while i don't see any guy wanting to learn how to ps.

Wow. Then, that's a rather unique case.
I think pen spinning isn't popular with girls/females because it isn't a social activity. One basically spins by oneself alone initiallly. That probably makes it unattractive to females as they are known to be social creatures (like to communicate). To turn pen spinning into a social activity, one would need to find another with the same interest first. However, that's a difficult task due to the rarity of pen spinners in the general parts of the world. That's probably the reason why pen spinning websites are set up, as it's the internet is pretty much the main, if not only, way we get to know others pen spinners. -

I bed that if she'd know the entire female population of the earth were relying on her to save their last hope for respect from you she'd probably try harder

Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 07:21:21
don't worry, once I win the next WT and is on the news for it, lots of girls will join
I wish that were possible,*Tim goes to practice
A lot of girls may have the interest there, but they wouldn't know where to look. It was pure luck that I found penpinning, but Penspinning is getting a lot more coverage now, but we probably haven't seen more members because they are mostly in non-english speaking countries. -
Date: Tue, Nov 13 2007 12:29:35
LOL
I dont think i spin because i'm girl or boy, i think it is because i'm simply in the lazy-and-have-poor-time-management population. -
Date: Wed, Nov 14 2007 01:41:21
lol? Cuz you guys keep making "Who here has touched a man's penis?" threads... Seriously. English communities posts everything we want on the forum. We all spam and enjoy ourselves too much here.
Non-English speaking communities or at least just ThaiSpinner has a lot more girls. We even have a female moderator! I think this is because we talk less harsh over there... I mean more manners and stuff. Here when a girl make an intro thread it would be 4 pages long. Over there people are nice and more kind to them. -

Doesn't that show we welcome them with lots of enthusiasm? Most people don't get over 2 pages for intro threads.

If anything, women should have somewhat better skill with pens because of their nimbler fingers. I don't know, this is just a theory but I would imagine that women with enthusiasm would make extremely good "pro" spinners.
-
Date: Wed, Nov 14 2007 04:57:58
I saw this one girl pen spinner and she was pretty good....oh yea...it was me...HA jkjkjkjkjk but i forget her name
Well I had never heard of pen spinning before I met my boyfriend. I guess here its just not as well known and then other places (going with the "emotional girl" stereotype) its not really something a typical girl would be into. You hafta be extra cool
And JEEEZ guys
"want to spin my pen"
"girls are better with their fingers"
hahahah
Think with the head on your SHOLDERS
lol jk its cool -
Date: Wed, Nov 14 2007 05:07:22
i think any girl can be a great pen spinner
but also...i think its just like a guys hobbie...
maybe you can compare it to Cars, Tools, Fixing things, Foot ball...ect.
That just means that most guys do it...but there are always some girls that love doing it too.
just not as much as guys. -

i have little bit interest in electronic. When i was in form 2 and 3, i have to do little electronic pieces(sticking the LED, short wires, etc. into a piece of... donno what that call) and i enjoy doing it while most of my girl classmates were "oh damn!(when LED not working) i don't like this." -

maybe girls just don't do it cause they just can't be bothered..

Date: Wed, Nov 14 2007 19:23:47
Most of the girls don't learn ps because of two reasons - either they just pick up the pen, try to do TA, the pen falls and they say "too hard", or they just don't try it because you look like japanese nerd while penspinning (nothing agains japanese ppl, thats just what the masses think of psers).
But I actually know one girl that does pen spinning, she is from my class and does only FingerPass+Various Sonics all the time. She doesn't care about penspinning, she just does it, she is much better than me with Sonic, but I doubt she will every do more. She actually asks me sometimes how'd I do some tricks (mainly coolish infinity), but she doesn't practice them.. -

Well, I tried to learn my sister some penspinning, she got an MX of me and started to spin, she became really good, learned all the Fundamentaltricks and some Infinity in one month or something O.o
But then... she stopped spinning, now she doesn't spin anymore : /
She could became an ''Ã…lan 2!'' -
Date: Thu, Nov 15 2007 13:53:55
ROFL at Mat's blatant sexism. Lol what a tool. 'Girls are shit at anything difficult' pff.
Pen Spinning is an obsessive hobby, IMO. It's for people that get easily absorbed/obsessed into little things. 'Coz when you first start pen spinning that urge needs to be there to just like, 'omfg -drop drop drop-' and then continue attempting a trick. (lol im so coherent right now xD)
In response to this 'tomboy' theory appearing:
Culturally speaking pen spinning is NOT manly. Espescially not in the states. It's nerdy and from a manly man perspective, it's dainty and flowery. Real men spin things like rifles (IE in the army, etc). If anything PS would be a hobby geared towards women. Culturally & genetically speaking anyway. I mean I'm fairly certain people would be more interested in penspinning in general if they saw graceful women hands handling the pens rather than big hairy man paws doing their thing.
jus.. my 2 cents. -
Date: Fri, Nov 16 2007 02:15:40
Anyone can spin, it's just the matter if they do it well or not. ONE charge revolution or TA is considered a spinning of a pen.
-
Date: Fri, Nov 16 2007 02:34:49
Cursed_Reverse:
lol i wasn't saying that PS is a "manly man" thing to do. I was just saying that girls who spin are more tom boyish, not that if you PS your practically the next Arnold Swartzen Negro
But you do have a good point that you hafta be driven in order to do it. At first I was like AHHHHHHHH SKREW THIS after i couldnt get a TA lol but after you stick with it, it gets a lot easier. A lot of girls dont have that kind of motivation for something that isn't socially popular -

Nobody on this board thinks penspinning is manly, most people know it is nerdy, even though it is not always nerds who spin.
The dainty and flowery part I disagree with, how is penspinning flowery, doing tricks with a pen isn't really flowery to me, especially people like Eriror, T_N_C (ChauTran) what's so flowery about their spinning? -

lol Tek was going to do that

I think he was just exagerating about the flowery thing, trying to prove that my statement that it took a tom boyish girl to spin was wrong.

I PS, and i'm not tom boyish girl.
I first saw it on TV, and then i was very interested in PS-ing. I learnt FP without knowing it's a trick/combo, I was just bored on a class and spin my pen
I am the only pen-spinner in my school, town, maybe in a whole country and I'm a girl

Hmm, in my whole life(for the pass 18yrs) I see less then 5 girls who pen spin.
Are they hot? Abit hard to define =x
But, these few, one can do great charges the others can barely do a thumb around.
Hope that I can have more pen spinning friends in the future. Maybe more girls? LOL -

Back on topic...
My high school has about 4000 kids and I only know 2 decent spinners (me and someone else). The rest are charge 12/23 spammers and don't even realize pen spinning exists. -
Date: Mon, Nov 19 2007 03:01:56
even if the girls who PS arnt attractive, thats kinda a really mean thing to say because its a stereotype and it could offend the other girl spinners out there. yea its just stating your opinion and your being honest, but its just kinda mean to say about people.
what if i said
well all the guy PSers out there are ugly (besides TEK of coarse)

@Tekken Queen... generally, most male users on this board (including myself) will not care being told over the internet by somebody they do not know that they are ugly. BTW, would you be penspinning if it weren't for Tek? If you guys somehow, just theoretically speaking, broke up, would you keep on penspinning and learning new tricks?
-
Date: Mon, Nov 19 2007 07:48:07
lol i never took offence to what he was saying
i guess im the same way as those guys, someone says girls are ugly online and im like lol whatever i could care less lol
notice how i never said "omg im so mad you guys said im ugly" or anything relating towards offending me personally
I was just saying that maybe some people would get offended. lol maybe not, idk i shouldnt speak for everyone im only one person.
So im sorry if all yall thought that i was all mad or anything because i really dont care at all lol
I joke like that too
and Tim
your right, Tek got me into it. If he didnt i wouldnt even know about it. and if we broke up i prolly wouldnt do it anymore
not because i dont like it, (because i do) but because it would be really hard to (emotionally) -

i think its because guys like showy stuff, and they are very competitive, so guys like pen spinning.
girls think that psers are like "show-off"s and thus tend to be less interested. and normally if a non pser guy sees a pser girl, he will get very demoralised and wun start learning ps either -

Hello and a wonderfull (whatever daytime you might be reading this....)
As a pen-maniac and pen collector I always have about a dozens of pen with me, mainly for sketching. Hope to get better, still learning the proper Thumbaround.
Started two weeks ago, mainly following videos and reading this board without acting myself for 4 month right now.
To speak for xtine and defend female püart of human species (more than 52% of the world population are female).... they might not be into too compplicate stuff for two much, but if certain females (women, girls) get interested into something, they can endure more stress and pain then most men.
We still live in a world mainly focused on male actions, the female emanzipytion not being to old in world history.
Men have oppressed women for decades and milleniums, never giving women a chance in a lot of fields, maybe being afraid of concurrent-behaviour.
Just think of female researchers, like Madame Curie, who found out about radiant chemicals.
Or about every body jelling and shouting for the male soccer world championship. And the germans, for example, did not win since 1990. But german soccer women won in 2003 and 2007, but you nearly never see the games in television, you only hear it when the are world champions again.
That is a way to suppress female successors by media control.
And last but not leat, a lot of women are proud of what they can do and do not have to "show off." Men, like little children, always wnat to show of and get compliments for what they achieved.
Right?

Not all men are show-offs, though men tend to be raised in a way that tells them that they should be in competition with others. I can't speak for others, but I don't like to show off and actually don't try to spin in front of others. I started spinning as something for myself to do, not for something to show others.
Right? -
Date: Tue, Dec 18 2007 02:03:06
You are right. I was speaking of generall behaviours... but only speaking for big groups, not for myself... I do nearly everything except for drawing because for myself... but after all, I wanna live from my art
By the way, since you are a mod.... am I alowed to make a thread introducing me? I know from other boards that it is
a) not seen with pleasent eyes if somebody wants to show of his works, expecially american forums made me problems because of my horror- and erotic-drawings... and
I have my own board where I COULD show them for interested ones, but this would be a commercial....
Okay, of the point.
I found a lot of vidz from female spinners, and they are not all better, bute not all worse compared to their male collegues...
And I would like to see more female artists around, also

i knew he'd say that... xD
so far, there's only been 1 boy who asked me how i spin... and there's been more girls asking me how i spin... i think it's because over here, we have many "groups" of friends in which your friends are not afraid to ask you (because you are their friends duh) and they see you spin more often... since i'm a girl, my group of friends is 100% comprised of girls. xD
i'd say it's wrong to think that girls can't do what guys can do. it's like saying guys can't have pink because it's a girl colour. but now i see that guys wear pink because there's a "guy pink"(pale pinkish).

I do believe most girls see this as a nice thing to do when you are insanely bored, other girls see it as a hobby and there is a difference.
The girls in my school can only do a TA (along with everyone else in my school except me and teatime) but the point is that girls usually do what the other girls do and since there isn't alot of motivation from the other girls to practice PS- we don't see alot of girls doing it.
This doesn't mean we don't see ANY girls, just not so much as boys who usually like to stick out with things other than looks (which girls in my school seem to focus on mainly, not that I'm complaining ^^).
Also it seems girls do tend to give up realy soon, I once gave my MX to a girl who said she would like to practice for a whole lesson while I was at sports, she said she stopped trying after 2 minutes... -

Reality is, pen spinning isnt life. Its a hobby. Girls happen to not spin that much because they either: never heard of it or just have something better to do.

That sentence that i bolded kind of have the right point. Pen spinning isn't life to me, i can't be sure i will into pen spinning forever. Doing some tricks like TA harmonic and sonics and backarounds during free time for the rest of my life isn't a problem, but i might not keep tracking what's happening in pen spinning world.
Just recently, my business law lecturer said something, although not mainly about male and female, but in between has point about male and female.
(The following case is only refer to my branch college)
He said, those who took accounting course are "kia si"(hokkien language: direct translate is afraid of death, the actual meaning is something like afraid of losing, want to have steady and good income job), those who took marketing are people who more relaxing kind. Then he continued, accounting groups(classes) have more girls, marketing group(only 1 group) has more boys.
So, i think you will get the point there little about girls and boys.
BTW, i'm not interested in accounting.

My opinion tells that the average girl will start in a discipline beacause it implicates her emotionnaly. Or it is cute or beautifull.
Penspinning, (although some persons says PSing uses emotions) penspinnning does not implicates really emotion, except at the level where "only" spin is not enough. -

People should be allowed to express opinions, its forums like this that debunk generalizations like that. Through conversation. This is a good place to talk about these sorts of topics.
I think lots of girls are easily intimidated. There is a large majority of girls that lack confidence. I think once girls start taking more chances and realize that they can get better at things even if they suck at them at first, they will get better. Boys are normally conditioned to this standard. Boys are pushed to work harder, to learn more, to become stronger. I think society has conditioned people to be that way. This is not an innate flaw in women, they just think it is. -

Um, it's not that at all. Girls aren't intimidated by a bunch of guys spinning pens. You don't pose any threat or anything... well, the biggest threat is us getting hit in the face by a n00b with a pen. xD But um, in my opinion it's most girls just don't care enough to try. Not that it's hard, or frustrating, or we're not driven enough, just... we're apathetic. Well, I'm not. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. Though I wasn't on the forums doesn't mean I stopped penspinning in class

You don't pose any threat or anything... well, the biggest threat is us getting hit in the face by a n00b with a pen. xD But um, in my opinion it's most girls just don't care enough to try. Not that it's hard, or frustrating, or we're not driven enough, just... we're apathetic. Well, I'm not. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. Though I wasn't on the forums doesn't mean I stopped penspinning in class
I didnt mean intimidated by boys, i meant intimidated by the activity. You said it yourself, "it's most girls don't care enough to try." I think that you're right and that it is apathy and a difference of drive that is the reason that more boys play video games, and that more boys pen spin, play musical instruments, etc etc... I think its probably the cultural push for boys to get better at whatever it is that they enjoy doing, rather than an innate ability to do so.
I realize that i'm completely overgeneralizing and that there are many, incredibly talented females, but i also think that it takes a lot more encouragement and support from the outside to get girls to stick with new hobbies, especially ones that take a lot of concentration. Females are also tend to be more apt to ADHD(hyperactive), rather than boys who are more ADHD(hyperfocused). Hyperactivity means you have an easier time multi-tasking, but a more difficult time focusing on one particular task for extended periods of time.
My girlfriend just started Hoola-hooping (youtube it, its cool), she's made a couple of really nice hoops but its so tough to get her to stick with it and go outside to practice everyday. She needs a lot of encouragement or she gives up quickly. I didnt mean to say that boys are better than girls or that girls are scared of boys...i just meant to say that many girls are intimidated by tasks that they are unsure about having the ability to acomplish. How many times do girls ask guys to do things for them....(usually mechanical tasks)? How many guys ask other guys, or girls to do things for them(especially mechanical tasks)? probably more girls will ask. Guys tend not to ask for directions and usually try to figure it out on their own.

Actually, I think there are more n00b female spinners than male ones.
I know a lot of girls that can do thumbaround and charge. However, they don't seem to want to learn other tricks.
Guys are usually more competitive and keep trying to learn tricks stubbornly.
So I think that there are more girls spinners but they aren't very good so when you look for intermediate or advanced spinners, you'll find mostly guys. -

more noob female spinners?
and all guys you know can do big combos, rite?
srsly, if there is more male spinners, then there is more male noob spinners.
EDIT- you could say that more girls stops at beggining level -

Fine... I don't think there is much correlation between gender and STARTING to pen spin but more male spinners tend to become advanced while many female spinners abandon pen spinning at an early stage.
Better now?

I'm a female Pen Spinner and I think I'm probably as competitive or even more than a guy. Although I haven't been spinning for that long, just 4 months but I try to do my best and I improve my spinning everyday. There are more guys spinning than girls, but there are good girls, too, like the ones of spinningirls or like zblader.

Zblader's inactive and she's not that great of a pen spinner imo. Just average.

Date: Fri, Aug 1 2008 04:22:52
well, my take on it, is that generally girls just aren't into like, penspinning, or other manipulation tricks. it's sorta like gaming or rubik's cubing. there aren't too many female gamers / rubik cubers, if i'm not mistaken.
oh! and it's like breakdancing ! but i digress.
i agree with the whole cool/cute statement, and since i'm sort of ALWAYS on the cute side, girls tend to do cute things. sure, ps is good entertainment and looks helluva awesome, but girls just coo and gush at it, not really think, "mannn i'm going to learn to do this" or however guys take on cool helluva awesome things.
and the fact that most girls (at least the ones i know) haven't even heard of penspinning, and those who have have heard of it from a guy. (i did, for that matter)
but i have to put in that guys can totally meet/chat/pick up girls by penspinning. -
Date: Fri, Aug 1 2008 04:56:22
@jenny true there are girls that like penspinng but some girls don't...
at school 2 days ago i was just showing off a bit to the guys who were sitting around me, then a girl came to watch. she said something about how theres these people who can make the pen go around their finger. so i proceeded to do a bak. Then she talked about how people who do bad in school are the vast majority of penspinners. (ouch)
it really depends on what type of person they are really. -
Date: Fri, Aug 1 2008 06:13:53
ehh :/ personally i think that most girls are just too lazy to learn or they think of pen spinning as something that's really nerdy ( which may be true? ^^)
girls just don't have the motivation to learn things like guys do. The ones that do usually just start something, learn a trick, and give up because they don't feel the necessity to carry on with it or they find out it's a lot harder than it looks.
Also, i know a lot of girls that don't want to be seen as the nerdy type because they think of nerdy people as socially awkward kids. If people see a girl pen spinning and comment on how it seems sorta nerdy, then i think she would give it up because she doesn't want to fit into that category in her friend's eyes.
ehh i guess the point i'm trying to make is that it's just not socially acceptable to be a nerdy in girl world yet and this shouldn't be the case because girls who pen spin are fricken awesome ^^
by the way i totally agree with jenny..you guys can totally meet, chat, pick up girls by penspinning. -

i think that mostly its cause guys have nothing better to do in their spare time other than to annoy teachers and cause trouble, i kno the reason i started spinning was out of pure boredom

Non-English speaking communities or at least just ThaiSpinner has a lot more girls. We even have a female moderator! I think this is because we talk less harsh over there...

People get curious about "how I can twirl my pen really fast with my fingers" so i end up teaching a lot of people fundamentals and stuff. Maybe 50% of those people are girls but the girls usually get frustrated faster and stop after learning the ta and charge, whereas a few boys stayed with it long enough to do harder tricks. Im not saying that girls are lazier than boys or something, because that is the opposite of the truth in my opinion, but maybe girls, in general, would rather spend their time on something productive.

meh, i hate how people could think that penspinning is unproductive when watching TV is probably LESS productive (at least MTV is), and they probably do as much of that as you spin.
Girls actually made me start penspinning. Several years ago I saw a vid (which i know now to be Kam's promo vid for pentix) and forgot about it, then a few years later girls started spinning their pens with the charge in school, so i remembered the vid, thought I'd like to learn, and decided to look up penspinning online. -

That's the exact vid that got me into penspinning!
Anyway, before I started, I'd NEVER seen a girl spin a pen (besides my sister doing charge). It's always been a guy with thumbaround or charge...

It was japEn's 1st collab that 1st inspired me. Den my frens started spinning, thus i thought it'd be fun if i join them. And here i am. LOL!
And girls tend to get very frustrated after few tries. OR, they tend to stop after learning fundamentals that they can do during lessons.
I once had this female fren of mine, she said "BEN!(My real name) Im feeling so depressed now. xxx(fergot name) just started pen spinning a week ago and he is able to do tricks better than me! (she have spinned for like a month or so. but a casual spinner) I've come to realise that guys are more gifted in pen spinning. (And gives me this face >.<)"

I guess the reason girls don't spin as much as guys because for most girls penspinning isn't social enough. Like for me, if I had someone to spin with I'd do it again. I'm just not going to sit in my room and spin a pen for a few hours just for myself. But going to a gathering and spin together with other people, that would be awesome.

Nah actually if girls pen spinned they'd probably be a lot better than guys' but they don't really have any motivation, I mean what's ANYBODYIES motivation for pen spinning? it looks cool? it's a cool skill? ... hmmmmm.....
