New or Inexperienced
Limited repertoire
You don't know them
BO/smelly breath
Rough
Too Flash for your liking
Doesn't smile
Doesn't make eye contact
Makes YOU feel inadequate
Gives unwanted criticism
Sings out loud!
Dances too close
Says nice things but it makes you feel uncomfortable
Gives the impression they're doing you a favour
They're wearing shorts and black shoes and socks
They're dressed too sexily.. very short skirt/low top etc
You feel they're too young, for you to ask
They're too old for you
Talks during the dance
Nosey
Their hair whips you in the face
Long nails
You think they're too good for you
You think 'they think' they're too good for you
They don't take it seriously enough!
I'm adding an anonymous poll, so there's no point in being nice - just be brutally honest
What are the main reasons you don't like dancing with people?
You can tick as many as you like!
I'm predicting that the top reasons won't be because someone's new/inexperienced or has a very limited repertoire
But lets see if this is 'really' true
sorry if I didn't mention your top hate but I've only got space for 25 options

"They're dressed too sexily..."
Sorry, I don't understand that option, can you explain?
Pedantic I know but I think the poll would be more relevantly titled 'I don't like asking people to dance because...' since many of the options, if applicable, would make me reluctant to ask but would not necessarily mean I didn't like dancing with them.
Well, apparently (so I've heard) some men don't like asking sexily dressed ladies to dance because
a)they think their partner won't like it
B) it makes them feel like a perve
c) they worry that other people might think they're a perve!
Clearly David, you don't suffer from any of the above

Will we find the converse experiment - reasons why I will seek someone out to dance?
Actually, my main reason for not dancing with someone isn't on the list: "I haven't seen them dance".
Eeek, reading that brings back a horrible memory...
I went to a Salsa venue once and having been watching a certain guy for a little while and thinking he looked good. I plucked up the courage to ask him to dance. And was faced with a very unexpected reaction
He looked me up and down, and in a tone that denoted a very definite refusal said.. I haven't seen you dance yet!
I didn't quite know what to say to that
