Hmmm....

Most guys are thrown off by having a girl ask them to play. For one they're shocked. (most probably havent been asked by a girl to do anything!)

So most likely they wont have a chance to know what to say. As for choosing songs, I have my own personal preference of songs I like to play. When a girl plays with me on DDR I let them choose the first song. Or all of them. Most of them tend to play oldies (Dynamite Rave, End Of The Century) and even the ones that ask me seem to be thrown off by my laid back but social personality.

**************************************************************

Your situation is very difficult

what would a DDR guy want to hear? haha sorry to say, the situation is very different for me.

I've met lots of girls thru DDR...tho I am a very social person...and looks dont mean a thing to me either. It doesnt matter to me what you do, what you say, how you play or talk.

The thing a DDR guy wants to hear is comforting words about yourself, your life what makes YOU happy.

I dont know about today (Guys seem to be slipping morally) but what I want to hear is about you. What your dreams are, your goals in life and in anyway help you reach those girls. Indirect contact or direct social contact. That doesnt matter. DDR shouldnt be a factor either.

I've met a lot of women after playing a round of DDR, freestyling and having a charming but confident attitude strikes women admirably.

(on a side note.)

My girlfriend now likes me not for playing DDR, not for being a sk8boarder or breakdancer or a poet but for who I AM. She's getting hella good at DDR too but hehe when we're together DDR is the last thing we do.

Oh yes, before I go eat, Makoto there will a beginners PA.

well we dont have many good girl players here...in fact we only have ONE good looking female player, and she is better than me.

But usually when I go up with a girl I ALWAYS let them pick song 1 and 3 and I pick song 2, just cause its more ...gentlemen like I guess?

But when they just play on Standard or light and I see them do something wrong, I always try to help them, teach them crossovers, teach tme turns...whatever.

but what I hate is when they compliment me...I think thats just me...cause all the LOCAL girls suck,(The girl I mentioned before isnt local, the good looking, good DDR player) and they all say "This is my Friend Evan, he is really good at this game" when I cant PA worth Crap, but I can pass all the Maxes and all the 9 footers and some other 10's, but I get tons of greats...I just hate compliments...well DDR related compliments...from girls

so yeah thats me

I don't really have this problem, since I'm usually the only "good" player there(although sometimes there will be some better people

).

Anywho, if someone decides to play with me and I AA the song, they just walk off the stage while I do extra stage.

Although if I were in you situation, I would let the person pick the second song, while I pick the 1st and 3rd song, ot the other way around, whichever you prefer. If they do bad, just tell them something like, "I've seen worse", or "Don't worry you'll get better." People just want to be reasured by compliments so they don't get discouraged from the game.

To add on to what a lot of your guys were saying, I belive that guys really do want to get to know the girl that plays DDR but they just dont know how to do it which may in turn make you frustrated because it sems that he isn't into you.

Heres how I see it.

1.you're about to play and you turn around to see a guy waiting
2.you ask him to play
3.he says no with a smile or looking away. .whatever he does, he's being shy

I bet you 9 times out of 10 a minute later he thinks to himself why the hell did he say no.

Thats why when you ask a guy, "wanna join me" and he says no, you have to say something like, "oh, come on I get tired of playing by myself". "Why not, come on it'll be fun". Things like that. "Scared I'll beat you?"(don't got overboard with this one).

Try to get a smile on his face then it's almost impossible to have him turn you down.

This past week I went to the mall and I played a guy who didn't care that I picked Sweet Sweet Magic, Ska a go go and Btterfly. I did it on purpose and he was sooooooo sooo cool about it. I LOVE guys like that. and since noone ever plays our DDR Extreme machine we played a couple times and I even let him have the honors in which case he picked Kakumei, A and Gamelan de Couple.

I hope to see more of this fella in the coming weeks.

Violet--- Right on man. Your right about one thing. Take it one step at a time. I'm not to sure about the whole opposites attracting... well I take that back, when I first fell in love with Kel she was so very different from me. She was into ceramics and she danced ballet and was just completley different then what I was used to. But your right thats what attracted me. Because of her I am very fond of the dancing arts and think that ceramics are really niffty. (My grandmother would be thrilled to hear me say that). We also shared alot of common interests too like Anime, music and now DDR. But it was a mixed bag of same and different qualities that I thought worked out so well together. Anyway I just wanted to give a little detail on how what you said related to me.
See ya all on the dance pad.

Ok, girl here... I have to say opposites attract, but you have to have something in common, as well. A common ground to talk about, ya know? DJ_Dustbuster and I have anime, music, and DDR, like he said. But he's also into video games and stuff, and I'm into dance (ballet, tap, jazz, that stuff) and ceramics. That also gives us some time apart, so we're not breathing down each others necks!

So yeah, opposites are great! But similarities are also needed.

Haha, I know exactly this feeling... being INVITED by a guy to play on the other side of the DDR machine, kicking his buttocks, being coy and shy about it(like "oopsie... i beat you... tee hee"), and him getting off the machine in a huff because he was trying to impress me or because he got beaten by a girl.

Seriously!

I mean, it doesn't make sense to me WHY guys would get angry about this and it certainly aren't all of them... but it's annoying when I want to meet people (not for relationships, just as friendships), and the intimidating factor is based on my DDR skills... :b

THEN I'll see some girl who is not so good get up there and the guys will be super nice to her because she sucks and they can "teach" her how to play. This was particular prevalent in my Gameworks days... ::sigh::

Lately I've noticed something... and especially in the What a DDR Girl wants to hear thread: Guys seem stuck up about video games. It doesn't matter if it's fighting, or dancing, they're just stuck up! So Makoto, I have to tell you that when I go and play by myself, and I challenge myself, THAT is when I feel the best... and guys start hanging all over me, too!

Although usually I just tell them to bug off...

Hmmmmm If you read SaeNoDa's post you would've noticed that too!

Anyway yes I've noticed too (and no I'm not a girl so dont ask) that guys tend to be very egotistical when they play video games. How sad is that? Especially when there are girls around the house. They feel the need to "Make themselves present" or "If I act confident about a VIDEO GAME I'll win this girls' heart" both of those things wont' get you a decent girl period. Makoto I've seen you but I dont know your personality traits. Would you like a guy like that? To be with? My friend Terry has and that may be different but:

She got tired of him playing video games over spending time with her.

You're a bit older.... but me? I'm still a child at heart and looking to settle down. How odd is that? But I still sk8board, break, surf, write poetry, etc. and I show no signs of slowing down.

The only game I MAY have a slight ego would be tekken 4 since i do have bragging rights. (placed 2nd at a local tourny with over 75 contestants) So that's my strong point. But I still dont have an ego when it comes to tekken4.

Or an ego period!

Why? It wont impress anyone. It'll only make then move away from you. Seems like DDR girls guy wise maybe a BIT more different than non. I know that sounds kinda far fetched but...from the DDR couples I've seen. If I were a girl I wouldnt even touch the guy.
