    Is the attractiveness of men's dancing pre-determined at birth?

    Apparently there's potentially a link between the way men dance, testosterone levels in the womb, and how attractive women think our dancing is...

    BBC NEWS | TODAY | Tom Feilden's blog | Is the way you dance written in your DNA?

    There's also a survey to take part in.
    Love dance, will travel

    This could explain the fact that some great male dancers punch so far above their weight when it comes to the attractiveness of their female partners.

    However, there's a huge nature vs nurture debate that we could have. Can a man learn to dance in a way that makes his fourth finger look longer? Could I wear gloves with a subtle 4th finger extension? Should I have my 3rd finger shortened to make my 4th finger look longer? Or is it all about "what you do with it"?

    There's a certain place at weekenders, where testosterone exposure is extremely high, and it's full of women looking the male dancers up and down....I think they call it "The Blues Womb"

    Could this be a first? A post from Andy that doesn't reference Nigel Anderson by name?

    Determined at birth or not... good dancers who are born as an ugly ducking end up looking like beautiful swans even the four headed.. freakoid variety.

    My 4th finger is longer than my 2nd! Does that make me an attractive man?

    Yeah, I've noticed that. Great male dancers could be John Merricks twin brother and they get hot, fit, totty throwing pussy all over them.

    Edit: me and sis said practically same thing at same time. Sorry...happens sometimes. Spooky.

    Could that be because I was thinking about Steve Lampert? I thought it was obvious

    I don't think I've mentioned Nigel Anderson for months. I think of Nigel as a great cabaret dancer, musician and teacher - however, I don't think of him as a great dancer in freestyle: he seems to spend most of his time grincing.

    I've just done a search on "grincing" it came up with quite a few references. I think it's closely related to grinding and crotch. It might produce a grin though

    'It turns out that women prefer small to medium size movements, and enjoy a level of complexity that includes an apparently random element'

    Random moves? There you go, looking like you meant it when you go wrong instead of apologising does seem to be the way forward

    Well yes... Variety of very small and random moves makes it all that much more pleasurable. The random element is also lovely....

    You should never apologise for a random move... unless it causes eye discomfort of course...

    *cough* It's called blagging it, and some of us are already one step ahead of you Jhutch (that's one step, but no semi-circle)
