Girls playing DDR

Well, there is some factuality to the argument that girls don't take it as seriously sometimes, and also that they don't like to get sweaty in public because it's embarrassing. My sister won't play with me anymore and never got past the easy Heavy songs. My friend liked to play, but only when I was at her level. Otherwise she didn't want to try, like she never attempted to reach higher levels of difficulty. But there are also plenty of casual male players and plenty of male players who take the game less seriously than their female counterparts (hell, some only play every once in a while with their girlfriend, who is the serious player).

psisarah.

I stated a factual analysis.

I considered the females I know, and how seriously they take DDR, and the guys I know, and how seriously they take DDR. My statement was no means derogatory or generalising, just comparing averages. I know a female who is far better than me, but I still take the game more seriously than her. DDR is a testosterone game. In fact, most games are. I'm not saying girls don't take games seriously, but that girls take games less seriously. Men become aggressive and competitive over video games, and women become aggressive and competitive because their vagina is bleeding.

just to answer, if someone who stands next to you watching you play PSMO but you get a D on it, versus somebody who understands perfect attacking and stuff, will think you suck. A player is considered good in my opinion when a player of a higher level comments about you or see's you triple A a song. Or if somebody looks up to you. Hope it clarifies.

psiriarisarias > actually soymilkcharlie is right, girls tend to not take video games as seriously (as in, they don't devote as much time/attention to) as guys. I don't know WHY this is, but I know from years of observation that it is definitely a fact. Also, seeing how competitive DDR is a very physical activity, and how males can beat females at just about anything measuring strength/speed/etc (at similar levels, i'm not saying I can out run a female marathon runner)... that's why less girls appear to play ddr.

Generalization is very valid when the topic is about -- SURPRISE!!! -- girls in general.

The fact that you read "chicks don't blah blah" as a generalization yet you react as if it's supposed to apply to everybody is absurd. Learn to read english. Taking everything literally is not going to get you far in life.

the answer to the OP is really that more girls than guys play DDR if you pay attention. Just not competitively.

Don't take anything I say seriously.

If you look at my post history throughout this topic, you'll see that the generalisation I stated is completely inconsistent with everything else I've said here.
