DDR- a guy's or girl's game?

Mach X · Basic Member Joined: 14 Jan 2003 Location: NorCal

mebbe theres another topic w/ the same question, but when i searched for it (guy or girl) i realized that probably all topics have something to do with "guys" "or", or "girl"

so i realized that searching (w/ search) wouldn't be the best way to find out if there was a thread about whether or not ddr is a guy's or a girl's game.

SO ANYWAYS...

DDR. is it a guy game, or a girl game. i myself think that ddr's a guy game that girls sometimes play (btw i'm a girl and i play ddr when i rack up the time to go over to tilt and play *my home pad is pretty ickee*) girls don't play cause they're worried that they'll get all sweaty (like we true ddr players become) and get their peasant blouses and pretend skater shirts all seethrough... even though they purposely were before...

(and also they'll probably trip up w/ their weird stillettoee boot things... and probably puncture the arrows while doing so...

)

this is just my opinion. what do you think??

Well.. I don't like to speak for other people; by saying "Yes, ddr is a guys game" or "No, ddr is a girls game" I'm really doing just that. In my oppinion there is no answer to this question. Simply because the DDR you describe as "getting all sweaty" is not necessarily what DDR is to another person. There is PA, Freestyle, Comical, and just simply playing DDR however you feel like it. It would be wrong to says one sex is the best at each one of these catagories. I've seen increadible stuff from both sexes, and i've seen some amazing freestyles done with opposite sexes together. Many freestyles couldn't/wouldn't have made sense without the guy/girl companionship. It is simply wrong to say that one sex can do better at DDR than the other.

i'm not asking which sex is better at ddr

i'm asking "whose" game it is.

for example, grand theft auto vice city is definitely a "guy" game (if girls play it thats a little bit disturbing)

and um...

(girls don't really "have" any vid games that i know of...)

uhm...

and "barbie's playland" (i dunno...

) is a "girl" game.

i want to know how other people feel about ddr. whether its a "guy" game or a "girl" game... not whether guys are better or girls are better.

Its more like a game for anyone who likes to dance or likes to actually be in the game and have fun... it's for both girl's and boy's imo...

i think it is a guys game b/c majority of guys play it. girls play it too and some are better then the guys but most girls wouldnt even bother.on the other hand some guys might think it is a girls game b/c they think hittin arrows and spinning around is for P**** guys or gay guys thus giving the name "ddr" for girls use only. lol yeah.....uh thats my strange opionon

I personally feel that it's a gay guy's game 'cause you wouldn't believe how many gay guys flock to DDR.

When I was first introduced to DDR, I thought that it would be more of a girls' thing, but whenever I see it being played in an arcade, it's mostly the guys playing it.

It's pretty funny actualy.

I think they first aimed towards girls, thinking they would like it. (You know, the girl as the sponser kinda thing, and how usualy girls like dancing more).

But seems now it's a 7-to-3 thing, in guys favour.

I think ddr is a game for both guys and girls, even though i have my own copy at home, me and my girlfriend spend lots of money at the arcade playing versus mode every saturday. So yup its a game for everybody.

The dancing part is aimed for the girls, and the physical part is aimed for the guys.

What were they thinking.

for some reason I read the word "game" as "name" for the first 4 times I saw it. I couldn't figure out what crack you were smoking. Then I realized it was me that was smoking something.

Anywho, it's not a game specified for either gender. It's just a game for people to play.

Yell at me if you want..............but in my opinion......does it really even matter "whose" game it is? As long as there's no rule telling us that one gender can't play b/c it's "owned" by the other, it doesn't matter..."to me"

It's just a game. Games don't have to be "for" a gender, they're for anyone who enjoys them.
