But couldn't keep a beat for three measures? You're still a good person as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah just like this

^^^This.

How a guy dances does suggest how he will be in bed. Does not mean a non-dancer cannot make love; just not a well or as exciting as the guy who is looser and more serpentine in his movements.

Well, not really. Just adequate enough to not be stiff and boring.

Being able to dance, even a little bit, is a life skill that will serve them well from time to time. Like at their own wedding, for instance, or at the school prom, it will be expected. Always sitting and refusing to dance makes you look like a social stick-in-the-mud.

No one expects you to be a great dancer, but refusing to dance no matter what, is going to be a social handicap, in my opinion.
Yes I agree 100%. In addition always sitting in social situation, eating & drinking is also unhealthy and makes one even fatter than normal...

Just take a couple of beginner dancing classes in your local dance studio. Probably any dance style is fine but I found swing to be the easiest to learn. Salsa, tango are a lot harder for me. ...

That was about 5 years ago and then I learned to just allow myself to connect with the music. When it comes to dancing at a party or a night club, there really isn't anything to it instead of moving with rhythm. You just have to get out of your head. Salsa and tango sounds interesting, and Swing dancing.

It's actually a vicious cycle. (it was for me).

One thing that helped me was looking at how people dance in social situations and then by myself where no one could see me, practice getting comfortable with myself. Eventually I found my style. Being a guy, I don't have to do much on the dance floor. Just go with the tempo and the rhythm.

No one has to do all the choreography and the spinning and the flipping during a party or an event.

I like Craig Ferguson a lot, and I can see how that statement that a man who is good at dancing would be good in bed or whatever but I don't think it's actually true. It's cute, but it's not true.

Mostly because a good dancer can still be a selfish lover, and "good in bed" is very subjective because people don't all like the same things. Just being able to um...do that..."Time Warp" move...with proper rhythm for an extended period of time, is not gonna get the job done for the discerning lover. However, watching someone dance, if they look good doing it, definitely can put the idea into the viewer's mind.

The couple I dated when I was poly, they are both really amazing dancers. I used to really enjoy just watching them, it was like a kind of voyeurism almost. And even if I was too shy to get up and dance with them, I felt an odd sense of pride that I was there with them.

Honestly when it comes to men, I think there is an element of attractiveness to watching a competent person do something that they are good at. Any time I'm like "hey, look at you, doing a thing well" that is points in their favor, no matter if it is dancing, making music or art, fixing or building something, cooking, whatever.
