Dancing

Post Reply New Topic

Grinding is awesome! I haven't done that since I went to a high school dance, which was over 3 years ago. As far as regular dancing, I suck, and won't bother trying.

Feel better now?

Dancing makes me schvetty and self conscious and I personally don't like it. It's much more interesting for someone of the female persuasion to dance . . . in a bikini . . . like they used to do on Laugh In.

Yes, much better now.

On the other hand Id be Delighted to have a woman belly dance for me right before I *Poke* her!

I forgot about men that do the Tea Bag dance. Another great move.

Just edited, hoping they won't notice after all the other replies. I luv that dance!! !

Does moshpitting count as dancing?

Aside from this, I cannot dance worth anything. I'm too white. I WOULD like to be able to dance like in time 3:08 in the Murray Head video of One Night and Bangkok, because its pretty freaking awesome. I cannot stand the Electric Slide/Macarena/etc. because they suck.

What other dance songs are there though? I remember "dancing" in a crowded room to Jump On It by Sugarhill gang.

The quality of dancing is far too complex to express in one dimension; it's more than just good or bad. It's an art. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and no two people have the same exact vantage point.

But when you're dancing, concentrate impressing the pair of eyes that matter the most: Your own.

Also, don't think when you're dancing. Don't even think about thinking, or not thinking. Let your mind relax as your body takes over.

The best dancer is the one having the most fun.

Undoubtedly. But dancing(as in Disco dancing at clubs) is really all about Showing Off. Thats why women like it-ESPECIALLY when they're young(teens and 20s, even 30s). For women its very much sublimated exhibitionism, for men its showing off to impress the ladies. Ive been told that dancing is a courtship ritual in humans, not unlike the mating dances of birds .

My point exactly here. I'm thinking that not being a dancer is a huge handicap in this dept....

I have this problem as well. I'm just too self conscious.

Meh, you dont need to dance in order to get a girl. Dancing with girls at clubs is NO guarantee that they actually want anything more than to do Just that. Besides, many women like to dance yet DONT like it when guys try to hit on them or dance with them. They just wanna dance, and so they end up doing so at Gay Bars .

Shall we dance? (i am not asking because you are sexy pretty blond girl but because you are the only girl in this thread.)

oops, it got found.

One girl = One of a kind.

I am a spectator.

OK, here's the scenario that I'm worried about:

A typical friday night for me is to leave work around 5ish, and head over to the local wine bar for a few drinks with co-workers and other acquaintances, then go for a decent dinner, then head to the local irish bar (no I'm not irish, but the bar is a good scene... and no dance floor) for a few more drinks. At any point through that process, there are friends of friends and passers by that we pick up into the group briefly.....

So at 10:30 or so, when things start to break up and one of the new girls says something like "well, I'm going to head over to thus and such bar and dance for a while", then looks directly at me and asks "Would you like to come along?".... I'm stuck. If I go I'm no longer able to continue the social contact effectively. I either play wallflower and get too drunk, too self concious, or too overwhelmed with the noise and lights to interact. That or I keep the girl from dancing (while she waits for me to get up the nerve to try) and neither one of us has much fun. And if I don't go, the girl assumes that I'm not that into her and that's the end of things. To date, I haven't been able to convince any girl that she wants to try to teach me to dance. ... so the night ends on a sour note.

This doesn't happen every friday, but often enough that I'd like to take advantage of the situation. It's soooo frustrating to actually have occasional opportunities for romance and not be equipped to take advantage of them.
