I just picked a set up in a chineese resaurant one day and it was easy to do , guess I must be a natural at it

i worked it out - its hardly difficult.

Tried a few times to use them and gave up. it's really far too much effort just to eat some food when you can pick up a knife and fork which is 100 times easier

You can eat quicker, and fit more in with using a fork and spoon

Just got on with it really, trying to watch others and making a mess of myself. You quickly learn how not to drop food

Am 35.

As a child I ate Chinese meals.... it was novel to use chop sticks.
As a teenager, I was pretty deft with using them.
As an adult, I use them whenever I have the option to eat Chinese.

And now i'm 37 and have a chinese gf, i can eat chinese whenever i want.

The chicken did.

I'm under 35 and learned to use chopsticks without the use of the Internet...

Pfft you could have just bought a Chinese cook book if you wanted Chinese food all of the time.

The real question is how did users over say 35 learn how to use a knife and fork before youtube was invented
