If you say you don't like house the same process will happen each time:
- Somebody will say it's massive
- Somebody will say that house is different to all the recent stuff UK producers are making
- Somebody will post a youtube video saying "What about this", etc.
Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of house, just the reaction when somebody says they don't like it is funny.

People getting grief because of how they dance? This reminds me of my youth as a hardcore kid with mostly metalhead friends haha
Mate - 'Hardcore dancing is stupid and gay'
Me - 'Do you even listen to hardcore?'
Mate - 'Nope'
Me - 'Have you ever been to a hardcore show?'
Mate - 'No, you know I'm not into hardcore'
Me - 'So why do you care so much about how people dance to it then?'
Mate - 'Coz it looks dumb'
Me - 'Linedancing also looks dumb but I don't slag off linedancers'
Mate - 'That's coz you ain't into country music though'
Me - 'Exactly!!! Just like you're not into hardcore'
The amounts of times i've had that exact conversation is frankly ridiculous

Not everyone understands House music, it's a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing

Yes they do, that's it's biggest overriding positive feature... that's why it's the most ubiquitous form of electronic music. Nearly every country has a house scene of some form or another... every human being with ears and an auditory cortex can understand a four-to-the-floor kick pattern.
It's just that an awful lot of people go into genres of music with preconceptions that they can't shake off... I grew up as a hiphopper/junglist and during my teenage years of I heard a 4x4 kick drum pattern I'd run a mile... surely there can't be any imagination if they all use the same basic rhythm? Obviously, over the years I've been exposed to so much House that it's been impossible not to like bits and I'm amazed with how much rhythmic scope producers can find within that 4x4 pattern (and with how little scope some producers find in more 'free' genres)... but my instinctive reaction is often still, "Eh, fuck that... BORING DRUMS".
