    I used to think that women were less likely to go out when it's raining?


    I took a male friend to ceroc.

    He only went once, because a woman was rude to him in class because he didn't know what to do, and it upset him.

    I told him that she is a "bit odd" , but he's never been a second time, and that was 2 years ago.

    I was so annoyed as he has a car.

    Sounds like an excuse to me. He probably didn't really enjoy it and is using this as the reason not to go back.

    Hmmm, he did say he doesn't like leading - he likes the sort of dancing they do in night clubs.

    And I think he's been to 5 Rhythmns a few times, but that's not partner dancing is it? I have promised to go, but have not done so yet.

    A woman friend I took to ceroc only went once because she doesn't like being led - and he doesn't like leading. I have some strange friends.

    Well they might like neither leading or following?

    Why? I would have thought that appreciating what the other side have to do would be encouraged?

    we seem to accept, indeed welcome Female leading, but frown upon Men standing in as Followers in a regular class, for fear that it might chase away some of our male peers who are usually in short supply.
    Certainly of the few men I have polled on whether I could line up as a Follower none have said other than "I don't think so".
    But, I have now followed on three occasions with men who have asked me.
    I really do need lessons in following.

    As complete beginners, they would be forever being told to get in the right line in class, surely?

    If they stuck together as a couple in classes, and she danced the lead, and he followed her, they would never learn anything.

    Slightly more with the program now - I thought you meant generally instead of specifically in a class. Feel free to ignore my previous post

    There are 2 solutions.

    1. a change of ethos towards gender bias in class

    2. They could swap clothes with each other before the class - but that's a bit of a drag.

    Often we have more men than ladies, (especially on footy nights)

    I was thinking when coming to Aussie, there would not be so many men [the sort of Crocadile dundee, I am too hard and manly to dance thing].

    I tell everyone I dance, and in the last few years have never had the "you must be gay then" look.

    But hey, you can tell a northerner, but you can't tell him much
