    i'm asian and almost everyday i use chopstick so yeah, i'm a pro
    my mom once said that at the age of 3, i already can held chopstick properly and eat by myself :grin:
     
  2. I started learning how to use chopsticks at the age of 4. Being chinese, I had no choice. It's not really all that hard unless don't practice when you first learn how to use them. I used to practice on my stuffed toys LOL I use them everyday, unless it's soup or pasta.

    Luckily I did learn how to use chopsticks at an early age because where I live is like a modern Chinatown so it's pretty embarrassing to ask for a fork when I go eat at a restaurant.

    Pretty good. My boyfriend forced me to learn earlier this year, well didn't force me but he laughed his ass off at how bad I was. He's Thai so he grew up using them. I can eat pretty quickly with them, still not super graceful, but efficient :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm pretty good. When I was fourteen, I went through a phase where I only ate with chop sticks. Could never get pizza down, which is why I say I'm not a pro.

    I love using chopsticks. I'm the best at eating with them out of all the people I know. :grin:

    I'm awful with them, whenever in an asian restaurant I always ask for a fork, sorry... I would certainly never plan a date in one of those places as I would only make a fool of myself, yeah that bad, ha.

    I'm alright with chopsticks. I eat a lot of Korean BBQ and noodles and it's a bit embarrassing using a fork in a Korean restaurant.

    I'm by no means a professional, but at least I can eat properly without looking like an idiot. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
     
  12. I'm okay. I can do noodles and stir fry and stuff like that easily with chopsticks.

    I like it because it forces me to eat slower. Which is good for you. I have a tendency to eat fast.

    I'm really horrible :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I friend of mine said he'd teach me how to use them, but that day hasn't come around yet, so for now I'd starve for sure :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    "Horrible I'd starve!"

    That's the closest choice. I'm not even sure how to use them correctly, but I could probably manage to finish dinner somehow using them. It might take only a few days...

    A part of me would like to learn to use them properly, but it's not one of those things I've gotten around to doing.

    I still need a bit of practice. I can grab things with relative ease but I tend to drop things; like sushi in soy sauce.

    I do okay with stuff like noodles and big bits of food, but stuff that is squishy like rice and smaller bits I am terrible with.

    The only thing I have trouble with is picking up the rice! Haven't gotten that one down yet haha! I actually have a pair of chopsticks in my car right now. Just waiting for a chance to try again xD

    I like using them, but I think I have pretty good manual dexterity.
