I think if you could dig a corpse up from the grave, attach some stings to it and dangle it from above women would dance with it.

So if this is true it begs the question, what's the point of dancing with women if it has no bearing on whether or not they're interested in you?
To enjoy yourself, of course.

Is the concept of dance for the sake of just dance that alien? So you require that there must always be another agenda behind it?

You either have no self esteem or you failed to get the woman's attention. Women may not instantly let on that they're interested, preferring several chances to check you out from different vantage points.

If a man goes to a dance and can't score a decent interaction from at least one woman, then he missed his chance.

You need to start asking women to dance and stop acting like a corpse.

My god. We have yet another chronic overthinker in here. Lost Leaf, most women (and many men too) like to dance because it's fun! It's a good way for them to get outside their own head and be in the moment and just enjoy moving their bodies. It's not necessary to scrutinize everything with a microscope. Some things don't need a purpose, agenda or goal.

If you don't like to dance then don't go to a dance class, club or party. People who go to such events and just sit on the sidelines are often considered unattractive, gutless and possibly even slightly creepy. It's better to be a crappy dancer who still gets out there and has fun. Yeah, a few other attendees might look at you oddly or mock you for having two left feet. So what? Just roll with it.

Why would someone that doesn't like to dance go to a dance club? I'm not a dancer, most of my female friends LOVE it (and yes, they're dance with anyone), but it isn't my thing, so why go?

In general, women like to dance. We'll dance alone, with other women, with random dudes, and I imagine that if it's specifically a singles events, there's less pressure about who you're dancing with because you're in theory not worrying about significant others getting their panties/briefs in a bunch over you dancing with somebody. You're free to just have fun.

My point is that people often overlook this fact: a lot of singles go to singles events just to be around other single people. It's not always because they're looking for a mate. For many, singles events are outings where you get to celebrate the freedoms of not having one.

In my circles, the men like it just as much as the women do. I did have a man once admit to me that he was there to meet women but so far as I know he has never gotten a date there. Probably his personality and the fact that he never appears to be having a good time.

Well apparently I'm not the only one who thinks you come off angry about this. Why is it exactly that you think people should behave the way you want them to? With your prickly attitude on here, maybe you give off those vibes on the dance floor too.
