I'd like an answer both for if you meet the guy for the first time on the dancefloor and he is fairly good looking and for if you've already met him a couple of times...

If you've met and gotten together in a relationship with a guy before noticing he was a bad dancer where did you meet?


And yes I'm a terrible dancer and I'm tall enough for everyone to notice me and see it across the entire dancefloor...

I am honestly a terrible dancer.

I have never ever had women judge me on that. If they had, then that is their loss and I probably dodged a fierce bullet anyway.

If you keep playing the beta-male "nice guy" who worries about crap like this, you'll continue scoring mediocre(at best) sex coupled with online girls telling you how you sound "very sweet."

Bust out a move that would make hammer feel shame, grind on a few sluts to raise the bar, and act like a man.

Of course, you won't take my advice. As such, the amended response:

Yes, friendly, cuddly guy, women think a man who swerves good on the floor will swerve good in bed, and vise-versa. You should be highly nervous about this and take dancing courses. Also, make sure to open doors for her, give her a rose, and above all, tell her she's a very splendid gal whom you'd love to kiss one day when the time is right and she feels "ready."

It depends... if you are a really bad dancer, just stay out of the dance clubs for trying to meet women or for first dates. Give a woman a chance to really like you before letting her know what a bad dancer you are.

If you are at a dance club and dance badly in front of her and her friends, it is really unlikely that she's going to want to date you... unless you have other great talents to balance out your lack of dancing skills.

Also, if a woman really enjoys dancing, naturally she will want a boyfriend that is a good or passable dancer. If she doesn't care about going out dancing, then it won't matter if you can't dance.

Now if all of your friends like to go to dance clubs, save up your money and take some dancing classes in secret. Everyone has the potential to be a decent dancer, or at least dance well enough not to be embarrassing to be with.

To sum it up... being a bad dancer will only be a negative to any woman who loves to go out dancing. But being a good dancer is always a plus. So it's worth it to learn instead of feeling awkward on the dance floor for the rest of your life. Plus you will need some dancing skills for when you get married and have that first dance as a married couple.

BTW how old are you?

There are just so many things that are more important than dancing well in the world of relationships. Most women I know are just happy to have a man that is willing to dance with them and as long as it isn't embarassingly bad, i.e. a man making a spectacle of himself, they're willing to go with it.

It's funny because I love a man that knows how to dance, but if he can't dance, it's cool, we just won't be able to dance together.

I'll worry about the relationship part when I get there...
The the thing is I avoid dancefloors since I know and feel that it's not my arena...
However my friends keep telling me that the dancefloor is the ****...
And I just don't get what I'm gonna accomplish except for making a fool out of myself when I'm there...

Nah, of course not.

IMO most guys are pretty bad dancers anyways, even the ones who think they are good. Especially the ones who think they are good maybe
