| Do any of you guys actually enjoy dancing or do use it just as a tool to get laid? I have always considered dancing as kinda gay, but I did a hell of a lot of it when I was younger, just to pick up chicks in bars.(I never did disco, just country and western) Well how many of you dance because you like it?? |

LOL From a woman's perspective, let me just say this. There is NOTHING sexier in a man than a man who can get on the dance floor and dance, and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. I know a lot of men who think it is wrong, bad, gay, whatever, but it says a lot about a man who can let loose and have a great time. Looks don't matter, as long as he can move on the dance floor. However, if he stops dancing after dating, serious point loss. I personally love to dance, and as far as I'm concerned, dancing is a major necessity as far as my criteria goes.... |
You young unmarried guys take note. If you want to score big, learn how to dance. My wife and I took ballroom and swing dancing lessons through the community college's continuing education program. Not only did it teach you how not to look like a goon, but you learn how to "lead". Women go nuts over a guy that can "teach" them how to dance. For example: I work as a consultant in healthcare. Every hospital has a galla or ball - most big companies have some type of award banquet. I've attended too many to count. Often alone. I've made some very good business contacts out of women that I danced with at the banquet. If you want to make a good impression (especially if you are trying to overcome the stigma of being a consultant under 30y.o.) dance with some of the mid/upper level female managers. Pay attention to the 30+ ladies, they are the movers and shakers in a hospital - they also crave the attention that gets lavished on the candy stripers and young nurses. As for the dance class: It was tought by a knock-out and attended mostly by couples. I say "mostly" because there were 3 single women in the ball room class and 4 in the swing class. Instant date for a single guy. Everyone feels a little vulnerable so instant level of intamacy. Ahhh, if I were a single guy ... |

Okay, you asked for it: Coolio's philosophy on dancing. I like to dance. I think most men probably would like to dance more IF they KNEW HOW! Men don't like to look foolish. They also don't like to pay for dancing lessons. Without taking some lessons, YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK FOOLISH ON THE DANCE FLOOR!!! That's why most men have to be tanked up in order to go out on the dance floor. I got news for you; if you're drunk, YOU CAN'T DANCE WORTH SHIT!!!! Trust me. Bite the bullet. Take some lessons. Learn a little bit about it. You won't look foolish when you hit the dance floor. You won't be a social Neanderthal. You'll probably actually enjoy it. You'll probably score much better with the chicks, too!

Not having a solid and ready line of BS has been, at times, a hindrance to me in opening relations with women. In my opinion, this has more than been made up for by the fact that I am a white man with rhythm, that rarest of species. I'm not afraid to move my ass on the dance floor, where most white guys look like their entire spinal column has been fused and their pelvis is in traction. I'm not trying to tell anyone else how to live their lives, but women generally like to dance, and a man that can carry his own on the dance floor is seldom alone out there for long. |

I dance like Elaine from Seinfeld. Make lots of money, though, from people throwing at me to get me to STOP dancing, LOL. Seriously, I love a slow two-step to old country, by my skills stop there. This be one white boy with absolutely zero rythm - weird, cause I stick a mean set of skins. |
A duel would have been a bit much, but I try to use my sig line to broadcast a message that's important to me. Not a bad idea for my member description, though. I'll keep it in mind.

Federal funding to study _lesbians_ sounds much better to me! I enjoy dancing, just so long as I'm reasonably well oiled, and I can't see myself. Also it depends on the company, any time I'm out with women, yes, with certain groups of friends, no chance. Just because _they_ have a hard time dancing, which makes me more self conscious. Has it ever gotten me laid? Not as far as I know... but then my dancing has been described as "HULK SMASH!"...  On the down side, it's gotten me hit on by guys at least three times  /PHil |
I used to know where to get it, but they stopped selling it. Here's the link anyway though. www.tshirtxs.com/humor.htm |
+1. My husband and I took lessons a few years ago. I asked for them as a Christmas present. Surprisingly hubby had a lot more fun than he expected. |

Not when I'm sober. But I knew some serious tough guys in the Corps who were incredible dancers. These really liked dancing, and they picked up a lot of women becuase they were so god at it and could stay on the dance floor all night without looking like a dork (which is how you look if you fake lkike you like it, like I did before I got married!). If you called them gay they'd have kicked your ass. |

Its a damn shame that so many of you dont like to dance or just plain simply do not have the right mind-set on dancing. Dance like no one is watching... I remember going to the annual "street dance" as a child in Friendship, TN, a little town where my father grew up. They would hire the Loretta Lynn Dude Ranch Band and they played everthing from Country, Bee-Bop, Pop, Rock& Roll and took all requests. Main St. had a huge section "roped" off with yellow nylon rope and was packed with people dancin'. My father danced until my mom had to sit down and then he would dance with a different woman every song. Aunts, cousins and old acquanticies. There would not be a single dry thread on his body and he would have a grin from ear to ear the whole time. Thank you dad for showing this man what life is about and how to have fun by dancing. To this day I enjoy to dance with my wifeand I dont have a bit of "formal education". Remember, dance like nobody is watching! LB |
Two step. Don't need to do anything else. If you can lead and you are smooth, it will be like panty remover. I know, I've seen me do it. Just keep at it. None of that line dancing crap. That is time to scout prospects and get more beer!

I can't believe that there are so many here that do not like to dance. I guess it is because I am always around people who dance, maybe. maybe not. The wife and I go out and dance quite a bit used to be more often maybe once a week. Not as much anymore, because we spend too much when we do. Some times we go country, then once a month a band from San Antonio comes to town and we allways go see them. Mostly rock, 70/80 have a great time. It has never bothered me, I always figured I am not out there to impress anyone or myself. Hell, I have been to some Tejano dances where I was one of the two or three white people there. But I agree on the line dance deal, I usually just watch those One thing about it is I can fit in fine at most functions. We went to a church deal with mywifes mother when we went up to visit her and they had a dance deal. I had a ball dancing with all the ladies, they would come ask me to dance once they found out I could wife got a big kick out of it, but was pissed because they were hording me
