yes i can say its more of a guy thing. one of the reasons why i think its so is because of the financially responsibilities that the men do shoulder and also that men always want to earn more so its pretty easy as a guy to get involved and also if you have friends that are into it then it will be more easier. but i think things are changing and have seen some ladies go into gambling although the percentage is still kind of low but maybe in some years to come we will have a good population of them especially for those who wants to do it for fun.
Couldn’t agree more. Since men are more exposed in financial responsibilities to provide for their family, the urge to grow and increase their income is high that’s why they are more open to investments, even in gambling that can bring decent amount profits if you are smart enough to play the game. They take more risks than women, and love to explore new things that will bring additional profits on them. And gambling could be the perfect example of it. Unfortunately, when they become more focused on accumulating profits rather than just enjoying the game, that’s when gambling addiction hits them.
It's an interesting observation. Historically, gambling has been linked to masculinity and risk-taking, influencing more men to engage. So I guess social expectations and psychological differences may also play a role. However, I would say that addiction affects everyone, especially in tough economic times. It is probably feeling like a shortcut and people hope for quick to be made by flipping a coin. And as you said when making money takes the place of what was meant to be enjoyment first, it is going to be critical especially when the making money part of that idea goes South.
