Girls playing DDR

I think the depth of this thread extend to "Can I has DDR playing gurlfriend now?"

I wonder if girls can use their superior physical balance to perform better on PA'ing easier charts over scoring lower but still solidly on harder ones.

Scienfitically, males have more muscle mass and females have less. Thus, men tend to have more endurance than females. But, females having less muscle mass tend to weight less, thus being more agile.

This agility might help in balance, thus they are able to AA a lot of 7-footers and below footers. Whereas, they do well at the beginning of a 9/10 footer, but slowly tire out by the end and loose rhythm.

Men, having endurance can AA a wide range of songs more stably than females.

I have no idea, but I think that's what they are saying.

What the hell, the reason why more guys play DDR than girls has nothing to do with muscle mass, stability, endurance, whatever. You build your endurance after time through playing the game, so why does it appear that girls have less stamina than guys? Because girls play less. It's the exact same reason why less (key word less, not none) girls play WoW, or Halo, or MSG, etc, etc. Girls are just less interested in videogames, period, than guys.

All this bullshit about "Girls not being able to FA because they get too tired" or "girls don't have good stamina so they can't pass anything above a 7" is really starting to piss me off. You develop these skills through time playing, not based on what gender you are. Our skills vary just like they do in guys; I know girls that are endurance whores who can pass 12's and 13's, but don't have a single expert *** to their name. Myself, I have 160-some-odd ***'s, (49 expert), some quads, but I can only pass two 12's.

So you can all shut up about this great mystery now.

Well here's my two cents on this topic, though I know that someone on this forum will read it, laugh, then chew on my buttocks for a bit, kinda like the slowpoke/boot debate.

Frankly, where I live there are quite a few girls who play, but they play at home, not at arcades or the movies. Even when I asked if they wanted to play (cause they love it, and they like to nag me, asking for tips and which way to do this song is better, etc. etc.) they would never play in public. I believe, as many others have already said, it's all because of society.

There are some exceptions, though surprisingly, the exceptions in my area are all the fat chicks . The few fit/skinny ones who play never really play anything higher than a 6, but it's probably different in other areas.

Although one difference I've noticed between girls who play at home and girls who play in public is that I've never seen any girl play in public without bar-hogging unless they're playing beginner.

So back to society. As others have mentioned, the image of girls in society is to be perfect, hot bimbos who are beach-blondes and have no brains whatsoever. I prefer if a girl has brains, that way I can actually have a conversation with them (without them saying "Like" every 3 seconds). Because of this image, many girls are under the impression that they can't play DDR cause it involves exercise, so even the ones who do play don't play the songs they can barely pass, trying to get better, but songs that are so easy they don't break a sweat.

And this is just for DDR. There are even more social problems involving video games in general (and thank god I've found a girl that can whoop me in every game except DDR )

...I wish there where more girl gamers where I live T_T (Can't play online, so...)

Now before you all shoot me...
