@ Picard: I think this thread is as good a place as any to draw attention to my sig :D:D
 
I cannot dance to save my life but if I watch people dancing on tv I think it is overrated and looks stupid but if you look at how they used to dance years ago where they actual held each other, now that is dancing.
 
White men can't dance! :D

So the logic that (white) women don't go for men that can't dance is fundamentally flawed anyway! :p

(This is just a joke - no racist remarks intended :))

One thing all women want is to be held and this is why they like dance styles bases on Latin & Ballroom, the foundations of what is more commonly know as "Langarm". Now thank goodness Langarm has no strict rules and its rather easy for a guy to learn it. It might be corny for us guys, but its what wins the hearts of the ladies.

Just remember that dancing is the third most actively participated sport in this country - more couples dance with body contact than non-body contact, and this is across all cultures and race groups.
 
It has nothing to do with the dancing.

Guys who can get up and dance regardless of how they dance will be more attractive, the shy guys who sit and smile at everyone having a jol is the guy who won't get any luck.

Mostly guys who do not like dancing are a bit shy and withdrawn, not an attractive feature. Simple answer for us shy guys, alcoholic beverages :D.

I would tend to agree that it's more about the guy being a fun dude, rather than anything to do with actual dancing intrinsically. I'm not really into dancing, so I can't imagine why I'd want to be involved with someone who likes dancing, it just seems a fairly basic incompatibility, and to say that all women love dancing is just silly.

*edit*

Although I do like waving my hands in the air to psytrance and going a bit mad to metal, although I always tend to feel a little embarrassed for some reason. :o

I also love jamming to metal while at a concert or something. I go wild and dont care :D
Cos I'm drunk :p
 
Alcohol may mask shyness but it shouldn't be viewed as a solution. Some are introverts and some are extroverts, both come with their own flaws. Accept, embrace that which makes you, you, make improvements where necessary. There are many techniques to overcome shyness, books by respected authors. But there are things which would involve plain old common sense. If you are not the best dancer, it wouldn't make sense to dance with some girl you really like. Join a support group, take dance lessons, set up a group for beginners, other awkward dancers, improv groups, whatever. Become more loose with someone you are not attracted to, then once proficient with the guinea pig, go get yours.
 
Rubbish if you are not the best dancer the only way to get the girl at a club is get off you ass and dance, if she is a decent female she will see you are trying and perhaps smile at you but she will not think what a ****. She may even think your crap dancing is kinda cute.

Now the guy sitting the table trying to chat up a lady will be shot down with F off buddy.

that girls judge a guy solely on his ability to dance.

How sad is it that some guys miss out on good girls just because they (guys ... not girls) can't dance.

Maybe I should ask "how ****ed up is it".

This!
My friend is a crap dancer, but he enjoys himself and does whatever, even though what he does is terrible. The girls smile at him... and he gets them!
 
Firstly, are you talking about ballroom dancing or club type dancing, where pretty much anything goes?

Secondly, in my experience at clubs (assuming you are talking about this type of dancing) the girls are the ones who are crap at dancing. All they do is take their oversized sacks which they call a handbag, plop it down in front of them, and then basically sway from side to side in time with the music! They don't even lift their feet off the floor.

I don't think, in club type situations there is really a way one is supposed to dance. Sure for fidget etc. you are gonna dance differently than to deep house for example, but the music kinda guides you...

Also, I am embarrassed to dance yes, and I'm sure a lot of guys are, but I have become much better at not being embarrassed by just ignoring the embarrassed feelings of "oh crap I must look so dumb what the hell am I doing", I used to do this by just drinking enough :D, but now I can dance without having any drinks, although I would generally not go dance without friends unless I am at least a bit tipsy. :)

ANOTHER thing I have to add, is that I will dance because I like the music, and yes it makes me feel good to dance to it, it feels like one is a 'part' of it, but that may be because I just love electronic music... What annoys me is people who make closed off circles on the dance floor and then dance among themselves hogging up all the space. I also can't stand these macho peeps who get angry with you for no good reason and want to start fights maybe because you don't look manly enough for them or something, there seems to be a lot of these people at clubs.

I hope people take the time to read my post because these points are something I feel strongly about and I took a lot of time to write this post.

BTW, all my points above are pretty pointless if you were referring to ballroom dancing!

:)

The last time I heard this statement was in the 80's (no joke).

Can someone summarize? To long to read.
 
Hmmm, Picard, if you can sing then you'll get laid. If you can't, then don't sing. Every guy has their own 'thing' where they can show off they better than the other males, ergo - you become an Alpha Male.

Of course, if you like me, and you have nothing going for you, then aim low... say a girl that's a 3/10, and then drink until she's a 8/10.
