Maybe you should have learned to dance. Maybe the ex wouldn't be an ex. Or maybe she just got tired of being married to a narrow minded person. You're probably still single, and enjoying the single life?Yeah, sure ya are. Maybe you need a BF that thinks the same as you do.
Check out this massive heep of irony...this guy calls someone else narrowminded, and he then goes on to sarcastically imply that that person couldnt possibly enjoy the single life. Because everyone knows that only people in relationships can enjoy their lifestyle...lmao..way to keep an open mind there champ. lol
1. They are stupid.
2. They don't think.
3. They think like TK & Fox (see #1 & #2)
Fox is extreme in my eyes. I would thank you not to lump me in with him.
However, there are a lot--and I mean a LOT--of guys who do not and will not dance. It's not like I'm alone in this.
I'll dance when out. I don't particularly enjoy it, but girls LOVE it and it's a great way to build rapport with both people you know and perfect strangers. And they're right in here, I'm pretty horrible at dancing and it can be intimidating 'cause the girls are good and the dudes that actually dance are good. But the thing is, people are there to have fun and enjoy themselves, we're not on a dance competition show out there.
I did have a question though. Is it weird that I dance ten times better with a drink in my hand than without? When I have 2 arms free, I kind of feel out of place, but it seems as if more and more places are not allowing drinks on the dancefloor.

No..this is not weird...most people who suck at dancing, suck at it because they have no idea what to do with their hands or upper body; giving them the infamous "upper body totally out of sync and discombobulated from the lower body" effect. Having a drink sort of solves that problem. But, whatever you do: dont be that guy
I'm not going to get into the macho/guy argument which seems to be dominating this thread but I would like to put out my personal experience.
A lot of women in partner dancing like men to "lead" when dancing. This directly fits into the sphere of showing the traditional male traits of being decisive and providing securing that many women appreciate. even if they'd deny it. This isn't dominance as in forcing another to conform to your will but providing guidance and giving women the security and confidence to relax and follow.
I've only been learning to dance a few months but have recently noticed a change in the way many women at the dance classes interact with me. I've become competent in a few dances and passable in a number of others but have also generally stopped worrying so much about dancing perfectly and just try to enjoy myself more. Whether through confidence, a more relaxed/fun attitude or better dancing, now women are approaching me to dance! Some women ask before the lessons if they can dance with me, praise my dancing(although I know I'm not really that good), recommend me to the next partner when we have to change partners, thank me sincerely for helping them learn the lesson, etc.
Also many women seem to actually enjoy themselves more while dancing with me than they used to earlier on. I get sincere thanks, more smiles, women staying with me for following dances, and even oohs when I swing them around. I've even had compliments on my attire and women I've never talked to coming up and chatting. I've also been given all the encouragement any male would need that one women was interested in much more than dancing.
I also noticed that the women who posted in this thread were far from negative about dancing. Even when I was younger I noticed that many women were keen to dance and often danced with their female friends when males were reluctant to chance the dance floor. As with many things it is not so much how well males do certain things but the demonstration of their courage in attempting something for women that earns their respect.
With dancing men can show their courage in asking women to dance and also join them in an activity that women enjoy. Like any new activity it takes a while to get the hang of but you might even come to enjoy it and that will only increase your standing in women's eyes.
