I edited my post before you replied for a reason, you know.

How is playing basketball at all related to playing DDR? It doesn't matter what you think, because the fact is that people don't like the way you look when you're drenched in sweat from playing.

You must have hit Quote before I edited my post, but I still edited my post before you replied.

I've never seen any females turned on by arrow smash and sweat.

I don't quite see how sweating gives DDR a bad reputation; in fact at the arcades that I've been to parents are always saying that this game is great because it makes kids active and that it's a great workout. My relitives got DDR for their kids because I was sweating so much from it and getting such a good workout.

Sweating is not a turnoff, in my opinion. It is a natural thing, and when you think about it, it shows off the effort and dedication of us players.

Things that ruin DDR:

1. Elitists. It is OK if you AAA everything, just don't rub it in or shoot people down!

2. Showing people in the media with the wrong techniques/ playing the game wrong (like news stories):

I think that it is very cool to show someone on Beg or Light playing the game and liking it, but they do not highlight the Std/Heavy players much if any at all!

3.

I understand, but it doesn't hurt to show the whole spectrum of DDR players.

another reason potentials are turned off by DDR is that a lot of people feel as though they may not have the foot-eye coordination to step on the arrows at the right time. a lot of people concern themselves with the fact that they may look dumb or something and (here it comes) people KNOW that butterfly on light with assistance of the bar will incite shit-talk from DDR Imperials...er, elitists. Therefore, people avoid playing games like DDR due to fear of humiliation.
