Well, I'll probably visit that site once in a while...

Two more cents...

I've been researching DDR as a music outlet and I noticed that DDR Extreme freestyling is more inclined for women than men... Lip syncing is important, and I think there are more songs with female vocals that there are male ones... And c'mon, back in the day of 5th and below, allota guys' and me too, played on the two player because they wanted to play the girl... (I like Tamako from 3rd home... Cat deformities forever! But Alice snatched my heart afterwards...) Since I'm now obsessed with Mobo Moga AND White Lovers, I can safely say that a girl playing those songs would generally look more impressive than a guy.

Hah, I would hate to see a boxers or briefs post anyway, and I know it came up once...

And if I did sound like a desperate guy, that's because I am, and totally not afraid to admit my lack of social skills, and c'mon, Temecula does not have female freestylers...

Woohoo! God, I wanna' see that site! If it is up, I'm too lazy to look in the middle of 5+ pages of posts for a url...

And please, don't gender act, I've done it and it will NEVER get off my conscience...

ok I've been a lurker for a while but I figured I'd chime in finally.

More power to the DDR for Girls site, the girls will dig it and the guys will secretly read it but pretend they don't.

Secondly, i don't know anyone who's hooked up with someone they met playing DDR. But it's quite funny to watch people try.

Personally, I play to have fun, and I dont really care what people think, ok that's a little big of a lie, I feel self consciense playing Std mode after some girl owned Bag doubles, on heavy.

Which some girl did like 3 weeks ago at cyberstation @ Golf Mill, if you're out there you know who you are.

I don't see a site for girls only being seperatist in nature. I think of it as a specialization of a section of DDR.

Does gender really matter in DDR? probably not, but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more girls starting to play the game.

Actually 90% of the females I see play usually play with their boyfriend.

Playing DDR is like going to a Gym. Some people are there to improve their performance, some people are there just to say they go, and some people are there as a social event to meet other people.

Actually, I think I get a better workout with DDR then a gym.....hmmm maybe that high school was onto something.....

DDR has way better music than most gyms too.

Back on topic though, I feel it's refreshing to see girls playing DDR, and because the male to female ratio of players is seriously tilted towards the men, I would think anything to help more girls discover or enjoy the game more is a good move.

And if any guys start to whine about it tell em to get a sex change.

cdf12345: Well, two of my friends got hooked up with girls from DDR. Actually, one of them is getting MARRIED to her... and the other has been going out with the other girl for around 7 months now. So, it does happen.

Most of the time girls that don't play DDR feel so awkward around the topic that they won't even speak the word. The last girl I dated wouldn't ALLOW me to play DDR when I was going out with her. There was even an instance where we were at the mall, and walked right by a DDR machine... I asked if she minded if I played a few games, and she started whining about not wanting to watch me play. So, naturally, since she wouldn't respect my hobbies I broke up with her.

I'm sure that I'm not the only guy who has gone through stuff like that... so I can totally understand why guys that play DDR would want to find a girl comfortable with the game as well. Once you get into DDR, you find that it occupies a lot of time... so... a girl against DDR = no DDR for the guy. It's just the way it is. Either give up DDR, or find a girl comfortable with DDR. I know I don't want to give up DDR...!!!

Well, I'm all for it! One thing I KNOW I can't stand as a female is when I'm playing DDR on standard, difficult, or expert (all I have around is USA Mix), and I get all sweaty, then this group of guys think they're hot stuff and start jumping on the pad next to me, or whislting at me. Can we say annoying?

Oh, and Saiyajin... if she couldn't repsect your hobbies, it was a good idea to break up. If one can't respect another's hobbies... then drop them!

Yea when is this site going to be up? Who's the committee that is working on this site? Maybe I can help out with the Graphics if need any

I think this site would be awesome if it had all the right things in it. Can't wait!

Ack! I was hoping you guys would forget.

Exam week was so incredibly stressful that I've needed a vacation away from doing much of anything at all in order to get my sanity back. So I've spent the last couple of days reading manga, sleeping, watching anime, playing itty bitty bits of DDR, and generally doing nothing.

However, I do have some logo ideas, and I've already picked out a host. I just need to figure out how much bandwidth I need. Don't want to buy too little, but getting too much would suck... My plan was to just get SOMETHING up and then to see if people would help through that.

So anyway, tomorrow between turning in my post office key and seeing about borrowing some furniture for my new place and picking up Matrix Reloaded tickets and watching the Matrix Reloaded and turning in those library books so they'll let me graduate, I'll do more work on the site.

I asked about helping before, but I didn't make a list of people who said they were interested because it was exam week and my stress level was through the roof, so here goes again. Mainly right now I need help with figuring out how much bandwidth to get and how to set up the forums. Later, I'll need design stuff (because though I love to play around with artsy stuff, there are tons of people who are better at it than me

) and people to help with writing articles and things. So if you can help with any of those things, please drop me a PM or IM (if it's not in my profile, it's Laura81922, boring huh?).

Oh, and at the beginning, I think I'm going to make it a subdomain off of another which I'm buying for personal email use, but if things are big enough, I'll go ahead and get ddrgirls or ddrchicks or ddrbabes or ddrfemales or something like that .com. I just don't want to spend that extra money until I'm sure it's going to work

I personally prefer ddrchicks, because ddrgirl.com is taken and I wouldn't want to be too close to that one with ddrgirls.com...
