    Re: Ugly women/men don’t get dances

    A horrible dance with a good looking woman is ...... still a horrible dance.

    Horrible dances are not fun, and when it comes down to it that's really all that matters to me. I'll freely admit that an attractive woman will get my attention, but I'm there to dance and have a good time - not to pull.

    I try to look for the good dancers in the crowd rather than the attractive ones (OK, I notice them as well - but I'm not *looking* for them ), and when a track comes on I'll ask anyone who's around me unless I feel like sitting it out. I do try to ask the really good ones at least once in the evening though, and if they ask me again later on then I'm over the moon

    Of course, it can be hard to tell just how good someone is from the sidelines sometimes, especially if they're lead isn't good or they're just not clicking with their partner.

    I don't think I've come across any drop dead gorgeous dancers who aren't also great dancers (so they probably do get asked up to dance more - either that or I'm attracted to natural dancers )

    Also feel the need to point out that I haven't actually come across anyone who I would describe as "ugly" in my 2 1/4 years of dancing.

    The key to all this for me is the clicking with the partner. If the click is there, then they become an attractive dancer.

    But then what I find attractive in a man is usually not down to just looks anyway.

    Guess how many times I got asked to dance?................ yes, you got it, 3!

    I, asked the men based on, who looked like they weren't going to pull my arm off, it was as simple as that really

    Oh yes, I also got refused twice, with no reason, one guy said, oh no, and almost ran so reading this is a bit depressing really

    It is true there is sometimes a certain air that an attractive women/man gives off. Maybe confidence that they know they look good. (I don’t just mean physical looks)

    Maybe from a early child hood they have been in demand ,popular at school etc

    Sometimes a unattractive women doesn’t give that ‘aura’ off, almost sitting there knowing their place

    It a generalisation without merit but I do see some shall I say non attractive women sitting there looking like there waiting to see the dentist

    Re: Ugly women/men don’t get dances

    most "attractiveness" is self confidence... and that I have in a abundance. {...as do most 'good dancers' - hence the attractiveness}

    The term "Ugly" tends to be with regard to facial features in a static image - I can think on a few dancers that are miles away from the "magazine model" rating of beauty, {ok - 'ugly' } but this has little to do with their attractiveness, ability to dance or popularity on the dance floor.

    {BTW - Piglet & Alex are in the 'magazine model' cattegory rather than the other one }

    This must be a Midlands 'thing' cos i'm exactly the same.

    Been fantastically gorgeous can work against you, some very pretty girls have told me they don't get asked to dance, and when they have asked why, the men have said that they aren't good enough for them, why is it most men seem to go for the easy option, or they perceive as the easy option?

    And I believe if you are nice to people they will be nice to you, what goes around comes around. Keep and you will get asked

    I do like to dance with people that enjoy having fun the best example it MR COOL when you first see him and watch him he looks dead scary but he is just a pussy cat when you get to know him (who that remind me off)

    There are few people that would want to be in my head, or could cope for that matter!
    I think that Gadget has it right...it's to do with confidence. There are many ways of learning confidence. Carrying it over from one area to another is a great trick once you master it.
    There are many people who aren't magazine-model beautiful (male or female) who are nevertheless immensely attractive.
    There are also others who quake inside in certain circumstances, but noone would know!

    I think self confidence is a very important attribute but I still find better looking women/men have more of it. Probably not rocket science to know why

    I think your part born with it and sometimes is grows

    There are some ugly good male dancers cant think of many women ? I don’t like the word ugly

    It would be interesting if we had poll re do you consider yourself drop dead gorgeous good looking , average , below average ,ugly etc how many would say average
