Pitfalls of Dancing

Here's my carefully researched, scientifically developed list of the possible pitfalls of dancing for guys. I'll let someone else do the woman's list.

Pitfall #5: Loss of non-dancing male friends. They will say things about you, while out driving their 4x4s around in the mud. Meanwhile, you will be stuck dancing with pretty women.

Pitfall #4: You will be going around the club asking women to do things. Sometimes they will say yes. Then what?

Pitfall #3 (this one is especially for Paso): No spittoons on the dance floor.

Pitfall #2: Wardrobe will gradually expand beyond Big Johnson T-shirts.

Pitfall #1: Loss of manly beer gut.
 
The ladies’ version…

1. Loss of non-dancing female friends. They will talk about you, whilst chatting in the kitchen about babies and casseroles and new cleaning products. Meanwhile, you’ll be wrapped up in the arms of a sexy (almost by default, since he’s dancing) guy, sharing an amazing unspoken connection.

2. You’ll get a reputation. (Hopefully) For being a good dancer.

2(a). Your mother always warned you about girls with reputations. Other girls’ moms did, too. Once you’ve got your rep, be prepared for other dancing girls to envy you—beware, infighting and jealousy.

3. There’s no adhesive undergarment that stands up to the rigors of hardcore dancing (and the resultant sweating).

4. Your wardrobe may (and probably will) indicate to others that you have undergone a massive personality shift towards the excessively girly.

5. Discovery and/or enhancement of girly attributes—toned legs, defined waist. (Unfortunately, in toning and defining certain areas, you’re likely to notice the unwanted diminishing of others. Aka, boobs. Now you see them, now you don’t.)
 
well my big three are: inability to fit job and housework in and round dancing, inability to enjoy any meal without considering the impact that it will have on fitting into a very expensive gown, all of the gossip and none of the fun involved in having all of your friends speculate over whether or not you are sleeping w/ someone w/ whom you dance
 
I have a friend whose husband has complained re her weight loss that his "toys" have disappeared...but so far IME the loss has been proportionate and weeeeeeellllllll worth it...and I am getting no complaints from dh
 
No time for friends.. not time to go out, no time to sleep .. (well No money to go out if there is time)...
No time to find someone you can share your life with, no time to start a family..
 
1. You will become unable to enjoy a social event that doesn't involve dancing.

2. You will become unable to enjoy movies or TV shows with dancing unless the dancing is *really* good.

3. Your parents/family will send you "where the HELL are you" emails implying you have been kidnapped or brainwashed into joining a cult.
 
Utter inability to find a guy to go out with that is not either 1) gay, or 2) completely threatened by the fact that you dance with other men on a regular basis... :headwall:
