DDR: Best group of people?

Is it just me or are DDR players some of the nicest people in any fandom?
At the place where I play (Knoebels Grove in PA) people are so damn obnoxious and rude, it's full of white trash

...but when I make my way over to the DDR machine, the whole attitide just changes. Every DDR player I've ever met has been very friendly...Everyone who is better than be has helped me out, and I've tried my best to help out those not as good as me. Our small group of about 15 people has some VERY memorable moments (some VERY funny)

, and there are never fights among us. You can always have an educated discussion with other players... Even when I travel to other DDR locations, people are always friendly and welcoming.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I have met so many nice people that play, however, I've also seen a lot of really rude people. Due to being a gilr, I'm not usually the target of the attitude, but my friends generally are.

I havent really met an assholes yet that play DDR. I mean people that PLAY ddr not the newbs that try once and get pissed and mock it. Only real people that I dont like are the ones that think there better then everyone and the people that stomp on the machine, that pisses me off and those people become immediate idiots in my book.

Ehh.. it depends. I notice that the bigger the playing crowd is around any machine, including DDR, the less friendly everyone is.

No offense to people of asian background, but a lot of times when I go to a new place to play ddr and there are a bunch of skilled asians playing, they all give me this look like I don't know sh** and then when i finally get up there and bust out like a AA on some 9 song and then they are all cool suddenly.

First of all, telebuffer, great smilies!

Anyways, usually, I strike up a conversation with people playing DDR. I recently went of a family vacation to Rhode Island, and all but 3 of the people I met were great! This one guy, who thought he was the best ever, was putting me down, so I told him to "go to F***ing Hell!" The other 2, I was playing one day at the mall, and I decided to try something new on Heavy, failed it, and this guy comes up and does the same song on Heavy, just to be a jerk. His female friend said that was mean, I agreed with an extra bad word

and then she takes her turn, smirks at me when she passes all her songs on Heavy, so I left. I saw her later though when her mom arrived and you know, she was the SWEETEST girl ever. You know what I'm saying, the one who can do no wrong.

But! In my area, whenever I see people playing and we talk, we usually exchange sn's for AIM, and we hang out to play DDR.

In general, the people around here are great. There's one guy who is a big jerk, harasses everyone, and thinks he's God's gift to the DDR community. There's another guy who is nice from time to time, but occasionally he acts like a jerk, too. Overall, though, we have a good group of people.

You know, DDR players are generally okay, but I've seen that fighting game fans are actually pretty cool. They generally like to be vulgar, but they're still pretty tight.

Edit: You wanna see assy, though? Check out the DDRManiaX iRC channel. The forums are great, but the chat? Gahh...

Over here alot of the DDR players are nice, but every now and then you get some guy who comes along saying he is better and everyone sucks and then when you play him he actually sucks, it's quite funny seeing as we have won money from bets weve made with those people
