Dancing [love it or hate it?]

Alright people,

Dancing. You either love it or you hate it right? I hate it. When I go clubbin or whatever and dance I get really embarrassed! Since my girlfriend, who so kindly dumped me for my best mate, broke up with me I have gone out loads more and I've found that dancing seems to be a big appeal to women. I was talking to this women and she was trying to get me to dance and when I declined she did the whole - 'dancing shows that your good in bed thing'. So what do you women think? and what about you guys, anyone feel the same as me?

Cheers in advance, Ad :p:

The whole 'dancing shows you're good in bed' thing is rubbish IMO. Possibly that woman just really fancied you, and wanted to get you on the dancefloor so she could kiss you! :biggrin:

I love dancing when I go out, but then again I have no shame! You shouldn't worry if you don't think you're the world's greatest dancer, just give it a go if you feel like it :smile:

as long as u hit the floor!! and have fun! i mean no one's gonna bother how ur dancin...as long as ur just doin sumthin out there! :wink:
It doesn't matter if you really dance or not. Get on teh dance floor, put a big grin on your face and go nuts.
put a weird look on your face as though you are taking the piss whilst doing barmy dance moves (i personally like the 'lawnmower', the 'dual pistols' the 'body press' and the 'gym routine').

if that failes just move in the slightest amount all of 40 cm away from a girls face whilst looking her directly in the eye. They love that one...:smile:

Ah dancing, the secret really is to let go. You'll be surprised with the kind of stuff you come out with. As long as you don't claim you are the best dancer in the world you'll be fine. Oh, my strategy was to learn the moonwalk and just show it off at the wrong times...yes, I know, I rock...

I've only danced twice in my entire life and I really enjoyed it BUT I can't help but laugh the following morning at myself. I just punish myself by imagining how weird I must have looked. But tbh, while I'm doing it I really couldn't care less what others think. I had always refused to dance and I have quite frequently remained motionless on the dance floor while others around me went crazy lol. But I decided to do it when this girl literally dragged me onto the dance floor. But clearly, girls prefer guys who dance, and who dance quite well. I admit it I suck, but I haven't given up on it yet. I would suggest just look at how others around you dance. If there is somebody who really catches your attention and you say to yourself, like I often do "I really wish I could dance like that" don't copy them exactly but try and get the same kind style. Then switch again to something else as probably variety would get the girls more interested in you. Just a hunch.

I only dance after a few drinks, because I'm not that good, but if I'm drunk I'll dance anyway and have fun and i can always say I'm a better dancer when I'm not drunk, eventhough I'm not :wink:

really, just go and dance, have fun! stop trying to think that everyone else can dance, if you look closely, you'll see that most people can't actually dance!
Yeah I love it. Its even better when your mates can't; it makes the girls think I'm unique :biggrin:

I enjoy dancing but I haven't really got the confidence to look good doing it. I'll happily dance ironically, doing cheesy OTT stuff on purpose, or just slow dance, but I'm rubbish at normal dancing. I hate being in clubs and stuff when it is required.

i love dancing. best exercise there is!
Btw quick question: How do you dance to "Shot Me Down" by the Audiobullys. You can only dance the chorus!

I love it!...most great nights involve quite a bit of dancing.
Argh yes, don't you just hate it when a song suddenly goes quiet or looses tempo. Dancing to that is difficult. :-/
