Girls - can you use chopsticks?

I can just about make my way through a bowl of Ramen with chopsticks! To make matters worse i'm also left handed

I keep practicing for my trip to Japan, although I think I will probably end up being offered western cutlery out of pity

I was in a noodle shop down in Brighton a few days ago and it was totally empty, I was working my way through some soba noodles only to look up and notice a young boy and his mum watching me, that put me off even more and my hand started shaking!

Yes, i can
When i was in China, my chinese friends praised me for using the chopsticks 'perfectly'

yep
I learned it in church's children club(..what ever you call that correctly O_Ö) ..We ate peanut crackers with chop sticks
and meanwhile i can hold them in like 2,3 diffrent ways but i dunn which is the most popular one

I learnt how to use them when I was 13 but was never that great, and I had no reason to be, until I dated my first asian boyfriend. I worked really hard on being able to eat the spicy food that he likes and worked hard to not be a noob with chopsticks so that if I ever went to his house for dinner or something, I wouldn't be the lame white chick who had to ask for a fork Now I'm awesome with them.

I like to think I can No-one has told me I'm doing it wrong yet!

o.o What's with all the Aussie girls overrunning our nice German site?

There didn't use to be so many of them. Now both of the last 2 posters are recent members.

i am the master of chopsticks

Of course I can!
To be honest, for a long time I ate only with chopsticks.
Believe it or not, after a few years I didn't even know anymore how to hold a knife and a fork!
it was hard to get used to it again
