Well my point is this really pisses me off. ALL of my friends and brothers,besides a few of my friends at school who love the game also, HATE how i always play the game and love it so much. They also HATE my "cheesy techno crap" music which i learned to love because of ddr. Some of them ALWAYS make fun of me for it too. Im gettin really angry now. And i dont know if i told someone i didnt really know that i love ddr if they would think im stupid or not. So tell me if u deal with this and tell me what i should do...and dont say "just ignore them" cause it's getting hard!! |
Well dude. Let me tell you something. Im a 34 yearold gamer. I have been playing games since PacMan days in the arcade...1981 or so...
I have a friend that will play games but seems imbarrest to play around his other friends. He kind of plays in the "closet".
I will give you my advice. It is hard to be a gamer. No matter what age you are and its even more difficult when you are hoping and stomping around on a dance pad. If it brings joy to you, if it makes you happy, if it makes you proud of your accomplishments, if it is your passion to play..
PLAY!.......
Dont let anyone take your joy from you. You are only alive for a short time and most of that time is full of heartache and death, bills and crap.
Ive been married now for 13 years, have 2 boys and I would leave all of it in a minute if I was denyed my love of games. Im not hurting anyone and im not a bad influence to my kids.
I too ride around in my car listening to songs from DDR. If people dont like it....get out!
Be yourself and have fun...... |

My solution to this has always been to make fun of myself for playing DDR. I mean, come on. The fact that DDR players look ridiculous while playing is a valid reason to make fun of it. I realize how ridiculous I look when I play, and when other people know that, they usually won't make fun because there's no point. |

at least you discovered ddrfreak, cuz if you didn't and still have this problem, well, haha, you get it.
see what happens wen you DON'T hang out with them, but with another crowd you get along with. |
Dude; These r my CLOSE friends. I mean, my friend who I told u what he said ive known since he was 2! I think that's why it pisses me off so bad because Im such good friends with him/them. _________________

Here's an idea, why not play DDR and skate. It is possible to have more than one hobby at once, believe it or not. |
I dont really like skating any more( but im pretty good at it cause ive been doin it for years) _________________

Give it some time. Either don't talk about DDR around them or find something new to do together. Or find new friends. |

I can see were your coming from, and can tell you i know
how you feel, to an extent. One of my goof riends i have known for about.....10 years, makes fun of me for playing ddr on occasion. Another
one of my friends goes on a little whining spree whenever i mention the game, because he thinks its an embarassment to myself, and to guys in general to play. I could go on and on about people i know, and don't know, who have given me a hard time about playing ddr, but the fact of the matter is, there will always be at least one person that disapproves of the game we all know and love. People are drawn to what is different from their life-style and/or the "normality" in a postive, and negative. It's, in a sense, inevitable that, friend or foe, someone will give you crap about it. So all I can say is keep your head up high, and be yourself. If your friends are really your friends, they will accept your liking of the game. Otherwise they arn't being true friends. _________________

Alright, I know exactly where you're coming from.
I've had several times where my closest friends would be like "why the hell do you play that retarted game?"
The easiest response is just "Because I enjoy it and just because you're my friend doesn't mean I need f*ckin acceptance from you with everything I do. If you think it makes me look retarted, go ahead and think that."
This was of course after being asked many times, but yeah... It'll create a bit on tension, but in the end he'll either decide he doesn't want to be seen with a DDR player, which would be his loss, or he'll get over himself and accept that he doesn't have control over what you do. _________________

I'm a 25 year old administrative assistant who weighs 255 pounds (lost 15 playig DDR, sweet!). I started playing DDR in June a have lost weight and feel really proud that I tear it up for an hour a day on endless mode and really enjoy it. I am the only person I know that plays DDR and the only person whos even seen it. But don't care what they think because my buttocks and legs and even my abs are toned and I have a really great sense of rythym. DDR helps me wind down after a long day of traffic and work and gas prices and all the responsibilities that comes with being a tax paying citizen. I really wish more adults and kids and teens would play together I think that only good would come from it. Like everyone one has said before me, all of your friends that keep dogging you are just jealous that you've put time into something constructive and challenging and theyre too lazy to even try. frick em' find friends that will push you to be your best at what you love. HEY theyre sensoring my comment those mother frick! HAHA! |

Back home, the reason people hate it is because I do it, and anything I like is immediately deemed "un-cool".
At college, the table tennis players hate it because a few of the players don't use as much underarm deodorant as they should. |
