I’m just saying, like silenus says, it’s not so much the skill of the dancing but the fact they’ll get up there. And to do that, in a world where guys don’t really dance, takes a lot of self-confidence.
This is not to say that guys who don’t dance don’t have self-confidence, either. Guys who do, though, always have self-confidence and sometimes an overwhelming ego too.
If we’re having sex, then I am somewhat confident that you’re at least a little bit interested in me and I’m not so shy—it’s a lot easier to relax and get into the groove. With dancing, however, the same is not true, so I’m too shy to relax and get into the groove.
Also, those of us who don’t dance don’t spend all our time thinking about dancing. We’re thinking about sex.
Sorry about the Revenge of the Nerds reference. I just wanted to be the first to post it.
Bloody hell, my subsciption had run out and I had to straighten all that out just to reply to this!
I decided to try a little experiment back in the days before the dangers of multiple partners became so…well, dangerous.
I decided to see if there was a correllation between how well a guy danced and how good he was was in bed.
An attractive guy who knew he was attractive and danced well, usually to show off, sucked in bed.
A not unattractive guy that danced okay but not showy was better in bed.
An average looking guy who can’t keep a beat can be fantastic in bed (speaking of my Hubby).
Not a hard and fast rule as there are exceptions to everything.
My first real boyfriend was not the most physically attractive guy, nice body? Oh yeah.
He could dance. But he could be quite embarassing as he liked to dance with a female as though they were having sex, even if they were not touching. He was of the “wham, bam, thank you, ma’am” school though he did manage to satisfy both of us. Not a big fan of foreplay.
What I found to be more important during all of this was not the guys ability to dance but the ability to listen.
Terrible dancers, who know they’re awful but get up and dance anyway- GREAT in bed. Bags of confidence, happy to laugh at themselves, don’t have huge egos, do have huge dicks. 3 guys I’ve been with fall into that category.
Average on the dance floor but thought he was fantastic- terrible in bed. Too much ego, not enough communication1 guy.
Great on the dancefloor- great in bed. He had absolutely no clue how good he was, so he escaped the ego thing. 1 guy
Great on the dancefloor-awful in bed. Too much ego. 2 guys
Refused to dance-awful in bed. Not able to laugh at themselves, took everything too seriously, not willing to try new things. 3 guys.
I personally don’t think it’s about whether you can or can’t dance, but about your ATTITUDE to whether you can or can’t dance.
May this guy give many thanks to MissGypsy, catnoe, FairyChatMom, and SiAmigo, for the reassurance.
However Cherry2000 makes a point I can get behind fully. Someone who can make a dance a special experience for his partner on the floor, can probably do the same for her in the bedroom. And I don’t begrudge him a jot or a tittle of his success. Go, dude.
Otherwise, who knows why he doesn’t like to dance? Maybe he just plain and simply hasn’t got a musical bone in his body and “rhythm” is as detectable to him as the cosmic microwave radiation. Then what? …unless it’s a question of “he ought to be willing to do something he’s uncomfortable with, for MY sake”
