After watching my wife racking 700 million + last night on BSD, I realized she is a decent player. Not to say that a woman has any less potential to be a good player, but typically I see a lot more guys that are good players.

Also, when I was a kid my sister was a decent player too. I guess it's the family influence from back then that made me appreciate pinball enough to buy a bunch of machines. Though my wife is not a fanatic, she mildly resisted my purchases because she knows she too will get some entertainment from them.

Anyone else here have a wife/girlfriend that is a decent player?

Ouch not my girl-friend  

My wife is definately entertained by my TZ more than she expected.  She doesn't play a crazy amount but has hit 250-300 million.  She is limited by arthritis in her wrists so I will give her a little extra credit.  

my girlfriend, she's a decent player, when she makes mistake or get a bad ball she gets mad.

she's got a machine that she loves to play...

Have you seen that person in PAPA who looks like he is dancing when he plays? Well wifey does her own version of a dance when she is playing the 3 ball mutliball on one of her favourite machines - the Black Knight! All the sounds, the lights, good scoring and she is bopping away using as much body english legally allowed. What a sight and I love it. She has yet to break 1 million on the game but she is having fun.

My girlfriend can play. And not like a beginner who slaps both flippers at the same time too...lol. She always challanges herself, looks at my high scores and goes for it. Not there yet but shes slowly creeping up. She geta a couple million on Genesis (well, its her machine now, I gave it to her) frequently...really got into regular good scores when I had WOF. Can get over 100 mil on T2 without getting any super jackpots. She has skills! Too bad theres no Canadian pinball championship this year, I was encouraging her to play  because I know she'd beat some of the dudes scores. She loved F-14, had over 6 million when I had Pinbot...she can play!

My wife likes playing and she ' s getting quite good at it . Paule , André ' s girfriend , got the 1st place out of 3 teams of 4 , at the 1st LMBQ meeting and holds the high score on my Sonic EM super straight , 1,048,700 . The closest i came to it is 1,013,200 . She also got second on the next meeting out of 4 teams . Sharp shooter , she is ...

My girlfriend sucks at bsd, but kicks a$$ at doctor who! It's her favorite game. She also does very well at pre dot matrix games. She's very supportive with my obsession with pins and she's also lending me money for my next pin. My first machine, blackout, was her favorite Classic game,and I'd very much like to buy her one someday. Girls who love pinball are the best!
