While it may be a generalisation to claim men don’t dance (I have certainly met many men who do .. or can be persuaded to dance lol .., I believe there may be a hint of truth to some of the points raised in this article .

How can a man be uninhibited in the bedroom yet feel awkward , shy and reluctant to dance (Texans excluded).

Is it true women on the whole are less inhibited than men when it comes to dancing and moving their body ?? Does rhythm come more naturally to women

A man who loves to dance is certainly attractive to me

Why are Texans excluded?

I like to dance

from The article .....

”Ironically, the one part of the country where social dancing remains consistently popular is southeast Texas, where many men readily take part in country-Western dancing, Evans says.

“They’re all in their cowboy hats and cowboy shirts, with a beer in one hand and a woman in the other, and they’re dancing,” he says. “It’s a very macho thing to do.”

so do I Heidi .. it is a passion I have never lost the enthusiasm for

Double post

Oh...
I thought it might be,
because, we all dance like penguins here.

For many social dancing comes naturally without practice . It is seldom about performance more about expressing enjoyment.

Embracing pleasure , fun and in some circumstances intimacy is a worthy reward to me .

Texans certainly have happy feet

With my ex lots evolved around music. He was a drummer and ended up head jury of regional competition of new bands.
My son was in a band too, and it was just about the most popular band on the island.
When they played, all their mates were on the dance floor. No embarrassment there, no rigid movements either. It was normal. They were around 18-19.

Which leads to the questions... would they refuse to dance now with their women?
I don't know, but if I remember, I will ask my kids.
Now most of these dancing blokes were in bands and music themselves. Maybe that made a difference? As a musician you feel the rhythm, the bass etc.

As for me, I have had one partner that I could persuade, but only in the very first beginning of our relationship. Barely 2 months later when the 'new' had gone, he flatly refused.

Dancing is My Passion !

Interesting article.

I think that about covers it .

The bit about the socially accepted macho style of postture for men being rigid/straight/wooden and any movement of the hips being seen as a feminine style of movement is a big factor, as is the reluctance to look foolish. The fools

It's better to look a fool than to be one.

The girls are nearly always better at it, we just have to get over that.

What most men don't realize is that dancing adds a new dimension of hotness.

I wish I'd danced more younger. but I was more concerned with trying to act cool rather than be cool

I've once had the wonderful experience of a BioDanza workshop.
It is really quite uncomfortable to express yourself by moving to the music with your body without any mental restraints, I can tell you that much!
It does, however, move you deeply inside if you do so. I ended up crying. It can trigger emotions that you buried deep within, which is why it can be so liberating to do!
ANd not everyone cries of course, it wasn't sadness for me either, but immense deep liberation.

That's what dancing does anyways, whether man or woman: it opens and activates the navel and sacral chakras which is the seat of creating, expressing yourself authentically, relating, emotions, and so on.
This is especially the case when you're just letting your body move freely to the rhythm, not the dances with defines steps and turns etc.
It is very healing to do, and simply feels great and liberating.

The BioDanza teacher that showed us on "Music was my first love" looked totally exalted, smiling, as if she was in heaven.
And after doing it myself... that is what it feels like! It is much more than a 'social activity' although it is that too.

I may take a step or two, if I'm in the mood and the music "moves" me. But to go out just to dance?; No. It's a social ritual. And I'm not a very social person.

I don't drink beer so can I have a woman in each hand instead?

I do hesitate now just based on previous experience...

New Years eve party some years ago...Music was awesome...she was a young Cubana...dancing alone amongst the crowd...i volunteered myself to show her my moves...she accepted my company and we started...there we were - move for move through three tunes...(meanwhile my family were placing bets on how long I could last...grrrrrrrr)...by the end of the 4th tune, she had not slowed down!...that's when I showed some of my best mayb signature moves...spins...jumps..dips...splits...however, alas at the end of song six, a white handkerchief fell from my pocket (wink wink)...as I departed the floor, she was still going strong....(i should have ordered whatever she was drinking)...anyhow, the next morning I was asking my family for the license plate of that damn eighteen wheel truck that ran over me...whew...by the next evening and a tube of muscle pain relieving ointment later, I was able to walk again...

That experience (and my body questioning my sanity) causes a pause now when I consider venturing out there again...especially if a young Cubana calls me to dance!

Is this a roundabout way to get more men to masturbate in public?


Is it true men on the whole are smarter, stronger, more courageous, rational, logical, cunning, honest, than women when it comes to discussing salary requirements at job interviews?

Is it true the thots on tik tok aren't really dancing for enjoyment, but for attention?


Yes.
That is why women are so disproportionately over represented in the music industry.
Oh. Wait.

If you like, I think I can get his email for ya.

I've been involved with a couple of men who were very good dancers and I love to dance

We're born with rhythm but some lose it if it isn't nurtured

It's quite good exercise! Sounds like you enjoyed yourself even if it cost you the next day, and you showed her a good time as well
