Didn't know the right place to put this, but here goes.
I was fat for most of my life, and I was a very sweaty person whenever I would exert myself in the least. I figured it was because fat people sweat for some mysterious reason. Now I'm about 3/4 the size I used to be, and I sweat BUCKETS when I play DDR. Nobody wants to be near me at the arcade, and I sympathize with them.
This one girl seemed to be into me today. She wanted to play versus with me several times. She was all smiley and whatnot. I am used to these situations anymore, but not DRENCHED IN SWEAT FROM HEAD TO TOE. I had no poise whatsoever, and I ended up running off to get a drink of water. She was nowhere to be found when I got back.
What can I do to fix this? Is there some uber-antipersperant that I can spray or rub on my entire body? Is there some magical pill? Are there any suggestions at all?

As a fellow profuse sweater, I'm sorry to tell you I've found no solution. The best you can do is try and be understanding about it. Apologize to whoever it is, blame it on wearing too many clothes, whatever. At least that lets her know you're a relatively nice person, who doesn't run off for no discernable reason. As with most things, you have to be comfortable with yourself before you can hope to get other people comfortable with you.
Try bringing a small bag with you and keep a towel handy, that way it looks like you're a serious DDR exerciser, and the sweat just means you're a dedicated player.

I guess that really is the best course of action. Yeah, I knew this was all about me being comfortable. I mean, she was showing interest DESPITE that fact, and I was the one that made the situation worse. It is definitely hard to be yourself in that kind of a situation, though.

I don't know about the rest of the women in the world, but a sweaty man is kind of sexy. Haven't you ever seen those Powerade ads with the sexy guys with the blue sweat? They're kind of hot...
I guess it's because sweat carries a lot of pheremones. It naturally is attracting women. I'm sure you've experienced the opposite. When they talk about women, they usually use the term "glowing." Yeah, that's sweat and it can be really sexy.

The sweat maybe "sexy", but the smell isn't.

The unpleasant odor that you are talking about is not from the sweat. It's actually caused by bacteria that thrives in the sweat. To prevent the bacteria make sure you shower (at least once a day) and use an anti-bacterial antiperspirant. If it just says deodorant, it's not enough, even if it's anti-bacterial. Axe Effect has an anti-bacterial antiperspirant that works pretty well and it comes in a bunch of scents.
Showering and antiperspirant is usually enough to prevent the BO smell. Worst case scenario, carry along a can of Axe Effect (choose the scent that matches your antiperspirant) and spray a bit in the bathroom when you towel off. That should be enough to mask things until you can get home and shower.

Haha.
When I rarely go to the arcade to play, I usually 1.) put on the best deoderant I have. 2.) Bring head and arm sweatbands. They're quite useful. 3.) I wear very light basketball shorts or something like that. 4.) Bring a towel to wipe sweat off. 5.) Step outside sometimes to cool off... (Michigan winters...)

My sweat rarely smells. I dont know why. "Glowing" from my experience is usually a term from someone who you know has just had sex. Sweaty or not. I dont really drench buckets of sweat like some people do either. I guess I am just lucky.
I think its hot when girls are all sweaty, as long as they still smell good.

My first date with a girl was to the movies, and they had a DDR machine there (not sure which version), and I sweated buckets after 2 hours of cashing quarters, and two seperate trips to the ATM machine for 20s... we casually dated for 2 weeks every day until she went back to mexico.. I met her her first day in the states, and we hit it off great, I asked her number to her hotel, and saw her every day... and night.. she dissappeared though, and I have no idea what happened to her after she went back to Mexico.. I think she had a BF.. oh well..  But see? The moral of this story is playing DDR and sweating buckets with a chix0r can lead to wild times.. wild times... |

I don't sweat I rain...the coolest parts were when i was in drumlines and right after a half-time show steam would be rolling down from my head...Wool Uniforms and running around playing a 40 lb bass drum will do that...I higly Suggest Axe...Axe also Makes an anitpersperant/ deoderant....and i found that Essence + Kilo smells good...to me at least

You may have hyperhidrosis, in which you produce too much sweat. I'd suggest seeing a doctor. The most likely fix is that you'll be prescribed an aluminum chloride solution that you apply overnight for a week or so that'll lessen your sweating or stop you from sweating completely in the applied areas. You then reapply it once or twice a week... Basically forever. At the extreme you may need surgery, in which certain nerves in your chest will be clamped, cut or burned to stop the sweating.
My sister has a minor case, which is why I know about it

Sweat can be sexy. From a female perspective, it's sexy when a man is concentrated on his workout... IE, if you're playing DDR, you start to sweat but you still look poised and concentrated on the game that's kinda sexy. But if you're sweating like a maniac, gasping for air, all hunched over and you look like you're going to pass out... that's not so sexy. Keep yourself upright and stop if you feel like you're going to croak.
Or just have fun and not care about what other people think - keep in mind you don't know most of those people at the arcades, and a lot of them you'll probably never see again in your life. You only live once - but if you live it right, once is enough.
