Dance floor blues

I’m not a huge fan of dancing, in fact, I’d rather wrestle naked with a porcupine than venture onto a dance floor. On the other hand, I love watching ballroom dancing, and much like I would love to have a Freddie Mercury voice, deep down in the dark recesses of my subconcious I harbour a fantasy of being a brilliant ballroom dancer.

And so, on the rare occasion that I find myself in a room with a dance floor, I can be found anywhere other than on the dance floor. Which brings me to my point, being dragged onto the floor by women. Why do some women regard it as okay to physically drag a man, or even another woman, onto the floor?

It happened to me last weekend at a wedding, and I saw it happen to a woman last night at a garden concert. Curiously, I’ve never seen a man drag a woman onto the floor.

Is it just a South African thing? Or does it happen elsewhere in the world?

“You’re gonna have fun if I have to force you to have fun. Now dance, dammit!!!”

There are those who can’t stand it if everyone isn’t sharing their particular brand of merriment. You, obviously, weren’t having fun at the wedding and you needed to dance. You should thank your rescuer for bringing you into the fold! Ungrateful wretch!! :stuck_out_tongue:

No, it’s not just a South African thing. In fact, I’ve witnessed worse, tho it was at a middle school dance, and middle school kids aren’t too big on social propriety. I believe it’s required for pre-teens and young teens to shove each other out on the dance floor in the proximity of the girl or boy that the other “likes” or some such.

I expect that at weddings, it’s often alcohol-fueled.

See, I kinda like dancing. A gay man who likes dancing… shocking ain’t it! :smiley:

Anyways, I’m always a hit at weddings cause I’ll dance with the wimmens. The wimmens like it and so do their husbands cause that means they don’t have to dance as much. Thus, my dance card is always full. I feel like the belle of the ball.

Could that possibly be any gayer!

It could - do you wear sequins??

:wink:

Yeah, definitely the case with the wedding gal. So much so that she did the whole dragging, clutching, begging, pulling thing in full view and mutual embarrassment of my SO, with whom I was having a conversation at the time.

And swampy, you tart you.
