This is great, there's actually lots of good advice for new people like me actually, in an entertaining way!
I don't think I've developed enough as a dancer to fit into any of those perfectly, however I do have certain aspects of...
The Spook: I do have a habit of asking people to dance part-way through a song, usually cause I talked to my previous follow for too long after the previous song!
The Ladies' Man: I do get a lift with a car-ful of ladies, and dance with each at least once during freestyle (though of course with other people as well!)
Mr Deaf-to-the-Beat: During classes when we're going through the routine I'll often finish, look up at the stage, and discover the teacher's only 3/4 of the way through... seems I need to work on matching moves with the beat. Don't know about the "mysteriously popular" part though...
The Perfect Dance Partner: Now I'm only a beginner, but reading through the list I think I've got a lot of those qualities: confidence, eye contact, smiling, laughing when things go wrong, occassional compliments, doesn't rush off too quickly afterwoulds, but plenty to work on still of course.
Now You Have To Duck Man
Likes to dance with women who can follow, as confusing beginners is too easy and doesn’t prove his superiority keenly enough. Closely related to “Ha Ha They’ll Never Follow This Move Man”:
Man leads woman into increasingly complex wrapped-up move until woman has all limbs completely immobilised, often around own throat, and is either unable to feel any lead at all, or is being pulled in several directions at once, but without any viable exit. At point of complete frustration and full stop, looks at man in total confusion.
Man then says triumphantly: “Ah! Now you have to duck your head and simultaneously thread both knees past my left elbow while I wrench your shoulder socket out!”
