There seems to be a bias in the opinions of people regarding gender and gambling. Most persons in my locale consider gambling as something more appropriate for males than females, who made that a law?
-In my locale, a man who is considered a compulsive gambler may be overlooked if he is doing well regardless, but a for a woman, regardless of her financial state, will be perceived and considered highly irresponsible if she is found in a betting or gambling place.
-A man who is known to be a gambler may still be considered for marriage by a woman, but if a woman is known to be compulsive gambler before marriage, most men will run from them or not even get close enough to consider them for marriage.
Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?
Personally this is not something that I have seen, back then when I used to play at regular casinos most of the gamblers were men, but this does not necessarily mean that there were more men that gambled as I realized that many women gambled and preferred games that were not offered at the casinos, now I have seen some people reject romantic propositions because the other party was a gambler, but it had nothing to do with their gender and more with their moral principles, so it would be interesting to know where you have seeing something like this because in my personal experience I have never seen it.
