If gangstas don’t dance - they boogie – then it’s time for the percolator. And if that made any sense to you whatseover, welcome to the terrordome.
With that said, I’m here to tell you (mostly) ladies out there that all the time you spend on dates attempting to find out if you should waste the next two years of your life dating a man can be avoided with one simple, and possibly short, daliance: take him to the dance floor. I’d say that the same holds true for men but the truth is, there are A LOT of non-dancing ass wack dancing women out there. It actually baffles how many women have very little rhythm. It’s almost offensive really. I would blame the heels but the truth is, reading black women spend so much time developing their oratory skills (PUN) that they forget to have fun at the club.
You can’t just look cute. Sometimes you have to put in work.
To my point. Target.
One of the most important parts of relationshipping is chemistry. You can force it for a while, but chemistry never lies. One of the best ways to test chemistry is to dance together. Let your bodies intertwine and make sauce. Saucy. There are all kinds of things you can tell about the potential suitor merely from swaying to some swaggalicious swan songs. That’s super.
Such as?
Thought you’d never ask.
1) Ability to dance
Yeah, it’s obvious but do you know how much it sucks to be dating somebody who cannot dance a lick. And I’m not talking ballroom dancing. I’m talking the kind of dancing that requires the ability to catch a groove with somebody and merely two step back and forth…on time. And oh yes, hang that sign up on the door. Don’t disturb this groove. No coordination means that when it comes time to do le do, somebody’s going to need an iambic pentameter. That’s no bueno.
2) Rhythm
In life, we kind of expect people to be able to move in some sort of rhythmic motion. Apparently this is a retarded expectation. Dancing brings it all to the forefront. And you know that if a dude has no rhythm on a dancefloor, well, you remember Anne-Marie Johnson in Strictly Business? Yeah, you will become her. Real talk, NOBODY wants to date anybody they have to give directions to. Unless of course your directions are for him to put it on your forehead. Heh heh heh.
3) Hands
When you are dancing all close and got sweat dripping all oveeeeer yo’booooooody, you’ll be able to know if a man knows what to do with his hands by the way he “feels you up”. Of course he shouldn’t be Google mapping your boobs with his hands and then landing but there’s a certain sensuality that can be achieved with just hands alone. A well placed hip-check and mid-section touch can send a chick into euphoria. Or to the bar to get her boy, Black, for touching you too much. But if you and Lawnquishagrassawnya are really vibing, she might give you that good grindage.
4) Handleage
Some women, particularly West Indian women really give it to you on the dance floor. It aint’ for the lightweights, faint of heart, or those with bad backs. If a dude can’t handle what you’re giving him on the dance floor, how the f*ck is he supposed to handle it at home. He’ll find a way to keep backing up and regaining his feet and he’ll carry that into your personal finances. What’s the connection? I have no idea. But you’re still reading anyway.
5) Commitment
If a dude is REALLY vibing with you, he’s going to ride that puppy out until YOU decide you’re done and ready to exchange information. Also, after you all take a break, he will probably still want to talk to you and find out more. Yes, a solid dance can be that crucial. A ninja that ain’t worth two nickels will roll out no matter HOW good the vibe is and hi-five you while he goes to talk to a chick that looks better than you.
And why is Ebony Jackson so doggone perfect?!
Anyway, ladies, do you think dancing can give you any indication about a man? Fellas, what can you tell about a chick that can dance? Or can’t?
Love. Love. Love.

Panama loves me. So do I. Love me, that is.
Congrats, Cheekie
*cues “We Are The Champions” once again *
I think Cheekie and Jay-Z got something in common. This must be the illuminati at work. lol
I wasn’t even trying to be first though…
“This must be the illuminati at work. lol”
VSBluminati to be exact.
As i’ve gotten older i’ve strayed away from gettin numbers at clubs… but back when I did…it was mandatory that a chic knew how to work it on the dance floor and it was definitely a turn off if she did not!!
Yes
Alone I am a horrible dancer. Dash comes close to tripping over his feet. I am terrible at all manner of line dancing. When it is time to Electric Slide I hit up the bar, but some reason my riddim is perfect during when I am being wined. I also am a beast on the Latin dances. I murder the floor when it is time to Samba and Salsa. I make no sense on the dance floor.
“i am also a beast on the latin dances”
*fans self
*drops jaw
*swoons.
wash. rince. repeat!
You just reminded me that I need to go to a salsa club again.
@Dash – “i make no sense on the dance floor” sounds like a funny way of saying, “i’m the man, get like me”
I agree, and I think I’m going to add it to my nonsensical lexicon of verbal delights.
“I murder the floor when it is time to Samba and Salsa.”
¡Permítanos baile!
*swoons*
What about enthusiasm? Earnestness? I’ve dated many
A (2520) guy who tried so hard and that endeared them to my heart.
Dancing should look effortless. Even if you are putting in work boo boo faces are no bueno.
I love watching the 2520′s in the club try to break dance and work SOOOOO hard at imitating anything they see a black person do. Its not endearing, just comedic.
Gotta love that up-down bounce motion they always do. Bend yo knees, its time to dance!
What about the partners you can’t watch because they are too awkward and off-beat and will ‘eff you up?
@KayBeezy – so focused and earnest horrid dancing makes you want to take home white dudes?
I didn’t say “horrid” dancing , I meant earnest. I like hard workers. If someone, not really (genetically) inclined to dance tries, it means a lot. It’s the effort that counts sometimes.
“I’ve dated many
A (2520) guy who tried so hard and that endeared them to my heart.”
I had hella fun acting out an urban dance movie with this 2520 once. He was so adorable…well, in the way that he had no idea what he was doing. He looked like Screech about the face. Anyway, his antics led to a drink being spilt on me. I handled it well because I drunk and laughed it off. But see, that’s why he don’t got my number.
And because he looked like Screech.
Dancing can also tell you how big his package is…but thats obvious right?
I think it also depends on the atmosphere…I mean not all clubs, parties, events…are created equal. Ideally a good dance means a dude actually cares enough to put some effort into dancing with you…not just being a brick wall for you to grind on and that he knows how to handle his business.
I feel you girl. It is crazy when you are feeling the music, the vibe is right, you got just enough liquor in you, your song comes on and this fool just stands there and makes you do all the work. ON TO THE NEXT ONE…LOL!
The talented Kerri Washington Jr.
Absolutely!! I hate when a good song comes on, you’re ready to dance with a guy and all he does is stand there! It just ruins the moment. If I wanted to dance with a brick wall, I would’ve danced by myself on the dance floor lol
@TheTalentedMs.Fiasco – you’re right. a good dude would AT LEAST grab your arse or something. make you feel like you’re working for a reason. lol
“Ideally a good dance means a dude actually cares enough to put some effort into dancing with you…”
Yes…I danced with a dude all night because he actually gave as much effort as I did instead of the stiff pelvic thrust. Picking me up and ish…good times.
Picking me up and ish…good times. .
*Turns head to the side. Re-reads this. Scratches head and mumbles “Nevermind. No comment” *
Lol!
Yeah, for some reason my face screams “Pick me up!” at clubs. o_O
It’s one of those things a foine nicca can get away with that a fug one can’t. Life is so unfair.
I had a brief encounter on the dance floor this weekend with a dude who I was certain was suspect. Especially when HE turned around and started grinding ME in the crotch. It was awkward. I felt violated. I left him shortly after and pretended to get a drink. In other news, I had some good dance floor moments with some VSBs. (The DJ was killin’ it and so was I.) And I’m not ready to be a cougar yet. Heh heh heh
By the way, I know a lot more men that don’t know how to dance than women. PJ let’s see YOU on the dance floor, playah. Uh huh, that’s what I thought.
@Miss Patterson – i’m not sure anybody is ready to see me on the dancefloor. my moves are the stuff of legend. i once got kicked out of soul train b/c i made everybody look bad b/c i was so good.
in fact soul train was patterned off of me.
Grinding on a females is only acceptable if it’s a quick 2 or 3 second thing. 5 seconds is the absolute most. I do this to be the goofball and get a good laugh out of everyone. If it lasts more than that, it’s suspect. And the guy shouldn’t be good at it either. If it looks like he’s been practicing … o_O
“And I’m not ready to be a cougar yet. Heh heh heh”
smh lol
Especially when HE turned around and started grinding ME in the crotch. It was awkward. I felt violated. .
Umm this made me snicker. My apologies
This is so true and yet so sad ’cause last night I discovered my work crush and I don’t have good dancing chemistry AND he couldn’t handle it if I put it on him. I’m done with forcing it so this ish is done. Such a shame. His back muscles were awesome….sigh…
Dang Kit! Did you at least try to train him…I mean the back muscles girl! the back muscles!!! LOL!
Did you at least try to train him…I mean the back muscles girl! the back muscles!!! LOL!
I know, i know – this is EXACTLy what i was thinking! one cannot turn up ones nose at fantastic back muscles!!!
LOLOL!! I’m sure the VSBs are giving us the side eye at the “try and train him” remark. You are right, of course. I don’t know if I’m ready to let go of those back muscles just yet. He could’ve been taking it easy with me because we’re work colleagues….Hmmm….ok, we’ll see what develops.
@KittyKatCuty84 – i’m glad you realize that you were about to get a “train deez”
LOL. Nah, I’m not a trainer. My biggest female vice is the over-analysis you mentioned a while back, lol.
mmm, back muscles (like Homer Simpson)
Okay, HE doesn’t have to dance. My ex-sexy back muscles didn’t dance much…vertically, but he was an athlete so his coordination was the bees knees.
This reminds me of one man who just does it for me on the dance floor and proved to do the same elsewhere. *sigh* I kinda miss him (or that, I guess).
@SaneN85 – tell the truth shame the devil.
Its hit or miss for me. I have been bamboozled by a womans dancing skills too often. *Decided to change my name since we have crested the hill of 2010*
“particularly West Indian women really give it to you on the dance floor”
and BUP BUP!!!! that’s the truth.. bad knees or not, i still BRUK OUT to “Rampin shop” much grindin tings a gwann.. an mi BETTAH feel SUMTING inna mi back!!! nuh tell mi fi slow dung or hole on.. or yu need watah! yu shoulda did come ready fi mi!!
i’m just sayin doh..
i DID date someone who was HORRI-BLAY on the dance floor.. i mean, like Will Smith dancing.. you know, where they do it in a joking manner then start laughing at himself as an excuse to stop.. (i see your game fool) it wasn’t cute.. and looki back on it.. the s*x was NOT bangin.. you can’t expect me to be the only one bringing the rolls of the high seas to the party.. UGH!
i’ll use the approach of the dance as a way to gauge if dude is worthy of the dance.. i’ve danced with people because they’ve asked nicely.. (even though one of those situations involved some acrobatics on his part.. “danger will robinson”) but if homeboy grabbed me as i was walking somewhere.. or sees me with my girls and comes up behind me, poking me round my bum.. then we have a problem and i’m callin Pookie..
#ThatIsAll
hey Nick, you going “incognegro”-i feel like i didn’t get the memo about name changes , so far there are 2 today (yes i’m keeping count)… is there something i missed O_O ????
She’s using her pet name that maxfab (of max-logic.com) gave her. I kinda got a cavity. It was like a sweetest taboo or something.
@Nickerz – i dont know how you do it but all of your comments seemed ridiculously exciting. like looking into the NYC skyline for the first time.
*DEAD* @ Danger Will Robinson.
@Bajan..
My girl Max calls me Nickerz.. and when i sound it out it sounded like “Knickers” (“panties” in england) which worked for me because panties are my fetish.. so it’s an homage to her.. i noticed that “it’s 2010 d*mmit” changed his name too..
@Panama.. Thank you!! that’s the sweetest thing i read this morning.. but don’t worry, i won’t start thinking you’re a sweet guy.. your thug-ness is intact.. so i won’t be geeked up about it for too long..
@SFG..
the most fun i have is at this little hole in the wall spot in Ft. Lauderdale.. i can’t even imagine.. i can put on jeans and a tank top and have the best night!! I don’t even drink like that, so Yank clubs don’t do it for me.. cuz then i’m REALLY stuck with this idiots and NOTHING is in my hand.. they don’t even realize that the music is bad because they didn’t come to dance anyway.. “and i got dressed up for THIS!? waste of make-up” (yeah, i’m looking at you, Majestic Group..)
Oh girl I went to an all white party majestic group had memorial weekend and I spent the whole night in the back, shoes off, sipping drinks….what a waste of a night.

Yeah, i agree, Yankee clubs mostly suck (and this is a Yankee sayin’ this). The only good part is when the D.J. “tries” to play some dancehall. That’s when I go to work hypnotizing the women on the dance floor. I usally hear comments like “can you f–k like you dance”
Nick I’m DEAD at your whole post. Bwah ha ha ha. Only in American clubs do girls stand around trying to look cute.
Dem tings no gwaan inna dancehall club nah sah. You betta come ready or smaddy a get yuh wen yu lease expect….you betta av on some shorts unda yuh skirt an plastic panty to protect yuhself. And if me don feel nuttin mi gone
“Only in American clubs do girls stand around trying to look cute.”
Not so…well, not all of us American females feel that way. I’ve been known to start the party by getting on the dance floor when no one else has. I hate going out and seeing women just standing there talking to their friends. I always think, “you could have done that at home.”
Anyway, this post is dead on. My last bf didn’t know how to dance…AT ALL! Ugh. As a result, we had many a fights that could have been avoided had I known that straight out the gate.
My new guy…we danced in the club on Halloween last year and that single action was everything it should have been. I concluded, “oooohhh he could get it!” Legend.
Yeah…so that’s working out quite nicely!
LOL…yeah I’m that girl too trying to get everyone to loosen up. They’re too busy trying to look good. Definitely not all though.
I feel like i got called to the principal’s office everytime i’m put in moderation.. and i start whining in my head.. “but i don’t know what i diiiiid!”
i understand tho.. (sigh squared)
not sure what you did either. must have been spam bot hating on your dialect.
It may not be written in stone anywhere, but if all a man can do is try to f*** me on the dancefloor, I become annoyed and turned off. It makes me think he’s not creative (or doesn’t know how to express that creativity on the floor), he can’t really dance, and he’s not chivalrous enough for me.
On the flip side, taking a few couple’s dance lessons (i.e., Salsa and Chicago Step) made me realize that I’m more of a control freak than I’d thought, as I had a hard time letting my partners lead.
@Kenisha – admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery
I know.
I’m takin’ it one day at a time….one day at a time…
You’re not a control freak Kenisha. You just know what everybody else is supposed to be doing.
Giiiiiiirl, ain’t it the truth!
I was up there barkin’ orders, not gettin’ ANYTHING done. The instructor, a woman, had to go over to my partner and I and put me in check.
This post is so on time in a way….4th of July weekend I danced it up at a bi-annual 90′s hip hop party and a reggae spot on two separate days. That said having a bad dance partner is the worst, especially when your song is on. Lately, some guys are not even risking rejection by asking women to dance. They are swooping up on women who might come out on the dancefloor whether they have a partner or not. Next thing you know, you feel someone behind you. Then you get dude who dances behind you, then backs up, talks to his boy, and then tries to come back. WTH? Women are not a ride to jump on and jump off. Worse, is the guy who swoops up behind you and then wants to take out a camera while he’s dancing with you. WTF? Then you gotta be a ninja and dodge out the frame. How did a simple dance turn into all that? Then when they are playing the jam and you hit the floor to dance, guys are standing around the dancefloor instead of dancing (some lazy mack ‘ish…jumping in a dance partnership like it’s double dutch). When a guy asks me or nicely grabs my hand to dance, I usually never say no because I appreciate the fact they asked in a kind manner and actually communicated.
1 & 2. Ability to dance is great and scores big points. Especially if he can get his groove to match yours or vice versa. I have switched my groove to match the guys. If either partner can do this, they got rhythm. I love to dance, so a good dancer and a good partner is just fun. Believe it or not, some of the guys that were great dancers, I remember them. You can stand the chance of staying in a sistah’s memory in a pleasant way.
3. Yes. If a man knows how to hold a woman…It’s swoon worthy.
4. Yessir. I’m not even West Indian, but yesh! You don’t have to be on any h*e ‘ish either.
5. Yes, even with a “marathon dancer”. If the DJ is on point, I can be that marathon dancer. The music gives me energy. I have sat down claiming my feet hurt and being tired and Mr. DJ has put on something marvelous that made me get up full of energy. There have been some guys who have hung with me, and after a break came back. Yes, a solid dance has been that crucial and dude has kept dancing with me until the last song, exchanged info, all that.
Excellent post, Mr. Jackson, and very true in my experience.

For real what part of the game is this… diva dudes strike again.
Can’t afford a drink AND too punk to ask for a dance… moma said there would be days like this.
And that camera sh*t makes a sista want to start going out wearing a Zoro mask…
I gotta mild mannered alter ego to protect and I don’t need yo black azz putting me on facebook.~JS
legit_soul,
Hey, you need to be sponsored to fly around the country (or at least the parts of it I’ve lived in-mainly the South) and teach yo’ sistas your philosophy of the dance floor. There would be a lot more joy in da’ club, I’m convinced. Why do so many sista girls get all done up, drive to da club, pay for a drink, get into the music (as evidenced by the bobbing of da head rhythmically), and then proceed to hold up the wall or post they’re propped against and serially decline brotha after brotha for a dance?
“Why, Black Dynamite, Why?”
And if I do say so myself all the sistahs who have told me no over the years missed a treat, let me tol’ ya!
@CEK11,
I’d love to! Either that or we need to round up brothers like yourself and bring them to Cali in a type of exchange program. I’m so sincere too!
@LS
LMAO! You already know. I hate that guy. I prefer you signal me to see if it’s okay. What’s worse is if your girl in front of you makes a face and you look behind you and see it’s a gorilla! Ugghhh…and he’s all sweaty making gorilla noises.
^LOL! You just made me cringe…..not the gorilla noises!
*flashing back* *shivers* *tears*
…and his belly is banging into your back. ugh
Ugh and he’s all sweaty and stuf, wiping his face wit some ol’ nasty damp napkins… STOP TOUCHING ME!… sorry it just got too real for a second.
I’ve done those faces before and usually are followed by stifled laughter and me putting my head on the counter while Gorilla Jenkins spits his game.
Lol at you grindin on Mighty Joe Young…
Sometimes the opposite is true…depending on the amt. of lighting, sometimes we fellas can creep up on some unfortunate looking chicks too…lookin hella good from behind or from certain angles…then you somehow catch a glimpse of her head-on…and she looks like a Fraggle. Two sides to every coin and sh#t…
were you spying on me this weekend??? lol
i went out for the first time in a bit and my girl and i sat in our VIP booth observing the goingsons (RIP Bernie Mac) on the dance floor.
2 dudes in particular grabbed our attn:
1 dude: HELLA foine. sorry. that should have been with a capital F. I moved closer to a) get a better look, and b)position myself to be in a better position when i noticed how he was boogie-ing. and yes, it was a boogie. if i was a man, my erection would have deflated right there. (no homo. hahaha).
2 dude: was dancing with a girl and we were watching how profusely AWFUL he was. spent a few mins trying to figure out if he was dancing with a dooble-vay-pay (WP aka 2520) or a black chick. she was black. we felt sorry for her cuz NOTHING is more frustrating than letting a dude have access to your booty on the dance floor and he can’t catch/keep/hold a simple 2step.
i’d like to be the 1st of the WIM (west indian massive) to approve your message. attending a jam in which dancehall (no daggering), soca, calypso is going to be played is not for the faint of heart or calf muscles. it will prove if you’ve been lying about going to the gym. prepare, hydrate and stretch.
the past couple of vsb posts have um..caused me to pause, but me likey this one because 9/10 this is SO true. it truly is the only way to jude a book by its cover without buying it.
“it will prove if you’ve been lying about going to the gym. prepare, hydrate and stretch.”
^Shole will. Sometimes you got the stamina but will feel the burn in your legs especially in any type of elevated shoe that greats a specific angle of foot incline and dancing low in your legs that brings the “burn”. The workout is paying off if you can ignore the burn and still work it out. Plus, the music is giving you life, so you ain’t trippin’….
” it will prove if you’ve been lying about going to the gym. prepare, hydrate and stretch.”
LMAO
Word… I pulled a glut muscle and needed an i.v. after one memorable dancehall moment ~JS

keisha,
“dooble-vay-pay” = 2520 = WP. And I thought I took the last of my math lessons years ago. Funny stuff.
Keisha, you dun know. You need strong thighs to keep up with island men…and don’t even bother “backing” it up if you’re not ready. lmao
i’d like to be the 1st of the WIM (west indian massive) to approve your message.
I approve your approval
I should have never read this post. Now in my head Goodie Mob will be telling me they don’t dance no mo ALL night long…
@Courtney (VSB) there are much worse songs to have stuck in your head. like “pretty boy swag” by soulja boy. “turn my swag on” it aint.
“like “pretty boy swag” by soulja boy.”
Panda!
I JUST successfully got that song out of my head on Sunday. And then you bring it back. You’re gonna be the death of me, hun.
@Cheekie That made me literally laugh out loud.
@Panama I appreciate glass-is-half-full people. But I’m still confused as to which technique is best to get a song out your head, the drowning technique (where playing the song stuck in your head is kind of like scratching an itch) or the phase out technique (where you play something inversely proportional to how much you like the jam in your head, kind of like those noise canceling headphones).
I tried the latter last night and Soulja Boy worked like a charm.
I’m a dancing ninja. In fact, I’m one of those who’ll never understand folks who go to the club and do the opposite of dancing. How can you NOT dance when BBD’s “Poison” comes on? What are you, non-human??!
Anyhow. A few thoughts:
“If gangstas don’t dance – they boogie – then it’s time for the percolator. And if that made any sense to you whatseover, welcome to the terrordome.”
That made sense to me since The Percolator is, like, Chi-town’s theme song.
“You can’t just look cute. Sometimes you have to put in work.”
Yeah, I work hard. That’s why sometimes my hair looks a HAWT mess after a night of dancing. Sometimes I’m glad when I’m out with folks who don’t take many pictures. o_O
“If a dude is REALLY vibing with you, he’s going to ride that puppy out until YOU decide you’re done and ready to exchange information.”
Truth. I was feeling charitable (shout-out to the CLCs) and I almost danced all night with this Lil’ Wayne’s fug brother mofo. Thing was, he not only lasted, but he kept grabbing me and pulling me up to him when I tried to move on to the next ninja. I had to say I wanted to get a drink from my table and then quickly scooped some other ninja to get away from him. A mess.
“And why is Ebony Jackson so doggone perfect?!”
This made me laugh because I knew you were writing while watching Boondocks since you tweeted about the same thing…you are so wonderfully random. I hatechu.
“Love. Love. Love.”
Me. Me. Me.
Marathon dancers unite! (As I posted, I’m a dancing ninja too who’s hair might reflect the hard work)
“That made sense to me since The Percolator is, like, Chi-town’s theme song.”
It’s gotta be house music all night long… I think that it must be a Windy City thing. Jukin’
Girl a beater, jeans and flats… I even still carry an extra shirt because I will leave a knee grow in puddles.
I put in work like a second job and follow dj’s that know.
I don’t understand the Sir Nose too cool to swim or dance dudes scared of sweating out waves and sh*t.
If you can’t dance at least try to keep up ~JS
What does it mean that so many of the regular commentators on this blog are PASSIONATE about the dance floor and the goings on there of? Are the VSBs and VSSs better dancers than most other ninja’s out here?
what is means cek11 that if there isn’t a vsb bbq before i die.. imma cut someone!! *shaking menacing fist…
“It’s gotta be house music all night long… I think that it must be a Windy City thing. Jukin’”
This right here is the TRUTH.com!!!! One of the many reasons why I absolutely love Chicago. I went to the Taste the day they had the old school rappers and throngs of beautiful black folks was getting it in….HARD!!! The running man, the snake, the roger rabbit, the kid n play, and you know the percolator was done more than a few times…good times, good times.
“I put in work like a second job and follow dj’s that know.”
My name is chicagochick and I am a dj groupie…hanging my head in shame…but wherever, whichever, whenever, if DJ Vince Adams is on the 1′s and 2′s I will be somewhere in the building…dancing till I am left in a pool of sweat.
I LOVE to dance………that is all!!!!
Um chicagochick, we gotta hang out. Grazie. lol
chicagochick: taste of chicago was SOO awesome!
im in love with your city. for real for real.
@Jhane Sez
I just had to say I love the “Sir Nose” reference! “Aqua Boogie” has a special place in my heart and childhood memories
That made sense to me since The Percolator is, like, Chi-town’s theme song.
Thank You, living in DC now, everytime they play the percolator, they always try to claim it as Baltimore Club music. No its not. I’ve been doing the percolator since like 4th grade. westside and southside versions.
lol yeah they wrong for that. In all matter of speaking.
we are >>>here<<<!!!!
matter of fact, "Poison" is one of my "get it" songs.. All i need to hear is that or "it takes two" and a party that had gone left will IMMEDIATELY be right!!!!
Words cannot EXPLAIN.. and everyone that i go out with KNOWS this fact.. but down here, it's hard to find a DJ that understands that not ALL lil wayne is a boogie song.. WTF are you doinggggg!?!?
I heard the Percolator for the first time last year.. Made me LAUGH!! i'm staring at the cd player like "How does that make SENSE!? WHO sings this!?" but i'm glad i know some regional music..
and i hear you about the hair… everyone knows that if my hair looks the same coming out as it did going in the club.. then the night was a bust in my eyes..
it's not easy to find everyone on the same page as me.. and NO, i don't wanna stand in V.I.P and watch everyone else have fun.. that's not what's good!
“and i hear you about the hair… everyone knows that if my hair looks the same coming out as it did going in the club.. then the night was a bust in my eyes..

YESSSS. There is no doubt as to why you’re my e-homie.
Since my cousin (not by blood, by marriage) is a big club promoter, I know what it’s like to be in VIP, but WTF do I look like just standing in that tight space trying to look cool? Everyone else is on the floor. That’s where I’m gonna be. I’m only in VIP for the bottle service (aka free dranks). And hell, while I get my pour on, I make sure to sneak a few quick dances with niccas up there too. I don’t take advantage of club time. It goes by like that when having fun.
I hate dancing with guys. The last time I did this, the guy pretty much was molesting me the whole time. gross. I hate having to play wack-a-mole with my own clothing.
I only dance when drunk and since I am not going to be drunk anytime soon, looks like I won’t be getting any numbers at the club anytime soon. I’m okay with this.
UGH!! I so agree – I stopped dancing with guys a long time ago. I just feel nasty and something about my butt on a random’s d&ck is just not appealing to me.
No numbers – I also am okay with this.
Same here. Nothing about this is appealing lol.
Sorry to hear that ya’ll have officially decided to leave the dance flo’ game. Maybe it’s sisters with experiences like ya’lls that make up most of the women I ask to dance when I hit da’ club, which is unfortunate for ya’ll b/c I am living proof that it is possible to combine respect with a good dance.
For the record though it’s not required that a woman back dat thang all the way up on just any random dance. It’s perfectly fine to keep so that you always see the whites of his eyes when you sistah are dancing with ninjas out here!
I know. I typically do dance like that. it’s the times when you’re dancing with your friends, minding your own business and some dude is standing behind you too close then all of a sudden you’re dancing with him. I guess.
Does it make me a freak if “my butt on a random’s d&ck” is the entire reason I go to the club? LOL. I’m not a big clubber AT ALL, mainly because the clubs out here are more about drinking and hooking up than dancing, but when I do go clubbing, I most certainly will feel like I wore the wrong outfit if my butt doesn’t end up on at least ONE “random’s d&ck”. I get a little ego inflation and then go home ALONE to have a lovely rest of my weekend. I still have to go clubbing with a friend, though, in case I need rescuing, LOL.
@KitKatCuty84 – lol. see, i assumed that was part of the reason most women got it in on the dance floor. you’re not a freak. you’re jsut a woman who know what she wants out life and i for one appreciate you for it.
Both of you need to be hosed down.
Gross. Yes, it makes you a freak.
Awww, lol. You’re no fun, Liz, lol.
:::::Goes and sits in timeout::::::
@Liz
Even if he’s FOINE??!
LOL You’re only a freak if this is your sole purpose for going to the club lol.
LOL, I feel ya KitKat. If it’s a super foine dude, it is worth the somewhat grossness. Plus, in Patron-land, gross doesn’t exist. lol
@Liz
“I hate dancing with guys. The last time I did this, the guy pretty much was molesting me the whole time. gross. I hate having to play wack-a-mole with my own clothing.”
Are you one of those women that form a “circle the wagon” on the dance floor with their girls? Or do you and your girls stand in the front of the mirror and watch yourselves dance creating a force field that blocks men from coming near you?
Does it really matter? Neither warrants a guy trying to literally get in my pants on the dancefloor.
Confession time
I am one of those bougie girls who stands looking cute in her 5 inch heels and doesnt dance. No, my feet dont hurt. (Yes, I’m too cute to dance with you.) What would I rather do? Entertain conversation with a nice gentleman over a vodka tonic. What do I end up doing? Watching horny 21 year olds drunk grind on the floor.
I work for a nightclub. It gets real old, real fast.
So no one talks to me at the club, because I come off as unapproachable. I’m ok with that. I’m not in the mood for fighting off some barely legal’s erection anyway.
The only reason I go to clubs anymore, is because I drink for free. And I cant turn down anything that’s free. Plus, my co-workers are hilarious, and we enjoy making fun of girls who take off their shoes and guys that pass out in the corner.
Whats my point?
Oh -it’s this. I used to think I was the queen of latin dancing, until I went to Puerto Rico.
I got served.
And now I’m too good to dance.
“Plus, my co-workers are hilarious, and we enjoy making fun of girls who take off their shoes”
I’m super glad I’m comedy fodder because I’m having a blast! And hell, so are you, laughing at ratchet chicks like me. Everyone wins! World Peace, fulfilled.
cheekie – you could bring peace to the middle east.
way to flip this comment into a double positive!
lol I had to. Plus, I respected her for admitting she was one of the wallflowers.
“Oh -it’s this. I used to think I was the queen of latin dancing, until I went to Puerto Rico. I got served. And now I’m too good to dance.”
Wait… that was the point? Bwahahahaha
HA! Yeah that flew just so slightly over my head as well.
I assume dancing ability is important to men…since Ocho Cinco judged the chicks on his reality show based on their dancing ability. Yes, I’m watching that show
@I Am Your People – ya know, i kept scrolling thru my TV guide trying to decide if i was going to watch that show and i just never cared enough to do so.
I watched the first part of that show, but then Kevin Hart came on. I’ll try to catch one of the 372 reruns. It’ll be so hard…
#TWSS.
Hi! I’m uber new here. But I see familiar faces!! ^_^
A couple of things:
1. 1st thing that came to my mind with the opening line: “I say my n!ggas don’t dance, we just pull up our pants and UGH! do the rockaway, now lean back *leans back*, lean back *leans back*, lean back *leans back*, lean back *leans back* come on!
2. Only West Indians? What about Africans?? They learned it somewhere… in their roots. [#NoiDidNotJustIndirectlyCallThemDescendantsOfAfricans]
3. Rhythm is KEY. Romping off beat is always followed by an awkward pause and a long whaleface -______- (Maybe a “No you did NOT” followed by getting robed up)
I have so much, but this is my vsb popped cherry comment.
Congratulations!!!
^_^ Thank you!
*rolling out the welcome wagon , I would say welcome &sh*t, but I will leave that for PJ, since this is his place & all, I don’t want to overstep my boundaries at someone else’s place cause I hate when people do that ish to me #justsayin
2. Only West Indians? What about Africans?? They learned it somewhere… in their roots. [#NoiDidNotJustIndirectlyCallThemDescendantsOfAfricans]
church, tabernacle, mosque, synagogue and every other religious place of worship i do not know about. some african moves may require you to have a doctor on standby. oh and welcome btw
^_^ Thank you, thank you. Ahaha some African moves just might require a doctor. I’ve seen my mom get down. And all I can do sometimes is “O_O, woman you’re 50+ your back is at risk now. Stop that!” But heyy, we do get down. lol
some african moves may require you to have a doctor on standby.
LMBO. I’m Haitian but I sure know where I got my moves from…AFRIKA. I used to watch African dance videos when I was a kid..I swear I be hypnotizing men on the dance floor…only Africans and straight from the islands folks can handle these moves
i’m a Yankee and I guarantee I’ll put that ish on you.
@Sukez – welcome and sh*t
and leave it to an african to complain that they ain’ getting enough shine when it comes to gettin’ it in on the dancefloor. lol. this is why we cant rise as a people.
Heyyy Suki! *hugs*
Wait, stop hugging yourself so I can hug you. Ok…
*hugs*
“1. 1st thing that came to my mind with the opening line: “I say my n!ggas don’t dance, we just pull up our pants and UGH! do the rockaway, now lean back *leans back*, lean back *leans back*, lean back *leans back*, lean back *leans back* come on!”
Oh forgot to comment on this. The lean back dance is probably one of the dumbest dances ever. It’s like the smooth criminal for couch potatoes.
Okay so I can’t dance – Like salsa or rumba or something, I die! I used to BACK. IT. UP. Last years of high school and early college, I put in the most work that there ever was to put in. I was one of those girl that had the head down, hands on the floor, booty tooted ALL THE WAY UP. I had lines of guys waiting for me.
**The shame**
I don’t do it anymore – like I said in response to Liz’s comment, the simulation of sex on the dance floor just doesn’t cut it for me.
Now if I Knew and/or had the rhythm to do an actual salsa, I’d be busting it out!! And of course, when a bomb song comes on, I can “aaaay” with they best of them and two step my @ss off!
And I heard that being a good dancer has NOTHING to do with being good in the bedroom. Thats just what I heard. insert Drakeism
@Anastasia – toot that thang up mommy let it roll make it drop.
rapper Huey doesnt get the respect he deserves as a lyricist of the highest caliber.
@Panama-toot that thang up mommy let it roll make it drop.
ahhh… The memories of that song(and the search of girls goin in to dance with)
Good times
I don’t do it anymore – like I said in response to Liz’s comment, the simulation of sex on the dance floor just doesn’t cut it for me.
Somewhere, in the depths of S. Florida, Uncle Luke just shed a single tear at your comment…lol
I live in S. FLorida..
and it was just reported that Uncle Luke aka “Cap’n DEE!” just passed out at that last comment.. smelling salts were brought to revive him and that didn’t work..
what did work? playing “get it girl” at volume 11!
Loved the article, thanks Panama!
hmmmmn, a I playin’ myself in some way if I admit that I don’t do the club scene anymore?
I gotta say that there are many ways to allude to having skills in bed that you don’t actually have- dancing is one of them. I don’t think it’s a fool proof indicator- cause I sure have felt like a fool going there and wishing I hadn’t. bitter? yes.
A ninja can dance well and still be a clumsy-moist-handed-stumbler in bed or an enthusiastic rabbit who f*cks like a jackhammer- a sad side effect of watching too many porno’s – or a punk who takes his without waiting for you to get yours (or otherwise unimaginative and feckless in bed).
On the other hand, I have one in mind who was so shy and quiet that I almost didn’t let him try out, (I’m still not sure how he snuck up on me) but I gotta say all that earnestness and youth paid off like the Lotto in bed….
There’s no science to it, I wish there was. if he looks good to you, makes sense AND talks sense, treats you well- then sometimes you gotta just take a chance and hope for the best.
my 2 cents worth.
@Jabulilesaysso – quite wise words.
um, welcome and sh*t? (i think)
That you’ll willingly dance with someone you just met, no poking and proding, might sing you came to have a good time. Einstein me. Dancing by yourself is fun too but not fellowship. If you have rhythm and find the mid tempo within the groove to move with, you might be sexy.
And # 5 commitment.
So this says to me that the stereotypical image of white dancers means that they are sad in the sack. Or good dancing mirrors good sexual or sensual movement. If you leave someone you’ve been dancing & having a good vibe with to meet other people and have a good time, then you have commitment issues. This means you go to a social function and you have one chance to get it right. Multiple social interactions are not encouraged at parties. Searching for substance and commitment from one person, when partying, is. Guyyyyyydam.
@Size Matters – man that was like watching The Matrix 2. like it wasn’t that deep, but it sure as hell seemed like it was…so i took a shot to make the day better. lol
I see simple stuff in weird things sometimes. It’s what I gathered from what you wrote Panama. I transcended objective reality with supernatural subjectivity. Go meat!
I haven’t been to a club since-never mind. It has been a good while. Clubs aren’t good places to make connections, but dancing might say a little somethin’about a person:
does he think he’s too good for the dance floor or simply realizes his two step makes him look like a skating giraffe?
Does she just have a stank attitude or is ole boy just sooo off beat that she’s actually a lil scared to dance with her back to him?
PS- it’s always quite entertaining to see folks grindin’ and sweatin’ it out. When I see all that sweat, I’m like ‘I hope they put on baby powder to absorb all that’. (Can’t help it) At what point is this NOT considered dancing?
“PS- it’s always quite entertaining to see folks grindin’ and sweatin’ it out. When I see all that sweat, I’m like ‘I hope they put on baby powder to absorb all that’. (Can’t help it) At what point is this NOT considered dancing?”
I only go to clubs with a cover, valet parking and a bathroom attendant… I find it cuts down on the unwelcomed d*ck introductions.
There are those who come to pose and those who come to dance… and we tend to self segregate. Separate water fountains and everything.
The trick is natural breathable fabrics… baby powder cakes ~JS
There is nothing like a guy that can dance . . . nothing! But, I wouldn’t say that dancing poorly will turn me off . . . it just means that we won’t dance together anymore lol.
I went to the club saturday night and I remembered the two things that I will get on my nerves when dancing with a guy — “the wiggle” or “the ram.” The wiggle consists of them simply wiggling or twisting their hips and rubbing their crotch back and forth across my butt . . . offbeat and just a’wigglin. That’s just lazy, I’m not putting any more effort into the dance. The ram is just that . . . ramming the hell outta me with no rhyme or reason. All it takes is one ram and I’m done with you, lol. Thankfully, I avoided the one guy I kept seeing ram women all night . . . got a wiggler though *sigh*.
Besides rhythm, my biggest issue with guys is balance. I’m rocking 4″ heels and doing most of the work . . . you need to be able to handle what’s coming at you and hold your stance without falling (or making me fall). Grabbing hold is not a crime. If I have to reposition myself or reach back and try to guide you more than once to maintain my rhythm, I’m done.
I have YET to dance with a guy that could really slow dance . . . and I don’t mean that stiff side to side step. A slow dance worthy of some Lutha, lol.
“A slow dance worthy of some Lutha, lol.”- I am sighing longingly wichu right here…so sad…where dey do dat at?
Girl, I don’t know . . . I think I’m too young to find somebody to slow dance with, lol. Guys my age don’t know how.
@BSQUARED86 – the wiggle and the ram are so hilariously appropriate that i laughed my ass off when i saw “the ram” cuz i can picture it.
i had a chick one do the ram to me. yes, backwards. she kept ramming her but into me…except she wasn’t phat. its like she kept taking a book and hitting my johnson over and over. i actually really wanted to punch her in the spleen for inflicting pain onto me.
LMAO at the backwards ram . . . the ram just looks like assault on the dancefloor from any angle. Folks need to learn how to wind and grind or stick to the twostep. LOL.
“Some women, particularly West Indian women really give it to you on the dance floor.”- OK, PJ, tanks feh dis big up-TRUT! WIM! ***** moving on – The dancing does not ALWAYS give you the truth of what they may be capable of elsewhere, however I do LOVE to dance, and think it’s sad that ninjas don’t understand what a lovely precursor this can be, a form of foreplay if you will….Oh nevah mind, I forgot ninjas don’t know what foreplay is , just sayin it can take me from the Sahara to Wet & Wild Water Park , a properly executed dance (salsa, winin up, hell even up close two step ) can make a girl swoon * that is all, and thanks for giving us some mindless stuff to calm the VSBers down a tad this Monday#causeninjasstillreplyingtothetestwithavengenance* really that is all
You know I had to look for you to cosign. Dancehall dance is foreplay. Yes my girl….
soca fetes are NOT for the weak.
that is all.
*thinks back to my trini ex… woiii…
” Fellas, what can you tell about a chick that can dance?”
*These are the comments of a man who hasn’t danced with another woman in since 2001*
I couldn’t tell a damn thing from a woman’s ability to dance. If she can dance that’s great, if she couldn’t then oh well. Now a days if I go to a club I’m with my boys and my primary function is to drink… I’m there for the alcohol. I prefer bars anyway.
I know, being from the Chi, if you are a dude who can dance, you are in there no matter what other kind of bad qualities you may have.
Girl 1: that ninja shot 2 people last night!
Girl 2: yeah, but gurrrl, he be jukin’!
I hate house music, but I can dance to it. If pressed.
As for the women, as long as they’re not going out like Elaine, we’re ok. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xi4O1yi6b0
But I did know this one girl in college who I passed on that got in my face at a Kappa party and said, “You coulda had this…” and proceeded to p-pop on a handstand. Literally.
“I hate house music, but I can dance to it. If pressed.”
*gasp*… were you born here…
Really… not even when they go deep in the crates pull up the extended version of Voices by the Police and crank that sh*t with a hot mix.
Not working for ya… okay ~JS
I didn’t have to look at the youtube video, just seeing your reference to Elaine was enough for me to know what it is …and I am simply *dead at the thought of it* -#SeinfeldNoJoke
“You coulda had this…” and proceeded to p-pop on a handstand. Literally.
This reminds me of when my friends and I would p-pop on a handstand in my friends dorm room tryna perfect it. My friend really had it down pact. That is all.
LOL @ #4. Yes its true, us West Indians know how to Wukup.Balance is key..
wukup.
braps!
countdown to caribana: 20 days…
A coupla of my relationships began after a night of dancing. In my hey day I would set that mutha off! I know a coupla men I started to date..after a wild night of dancing. I mean we were like Kid and Play out there on the dance floor! So in sync, so sexy, so cool…..good times. lol. I miss those days…lol
Thanks for this post..it really made me reminisce back.
“…..and proceeded to p-pop on a handstand.”
Dayum! I might have asked for do overs, bruh.
Something about this post and comments make me sad. We ain’t ISH no mo’. Baby wipes. *Sniff*
Haven’t witnessed too many brothers that couldn’t dance.. They don’t be doin sh*t anyways but the two step no ways..
However I do recall one particularly disturbing episode on the dance floor.. I was backing it up on some random guy (back in my single days, that is) and he grabbed my hand and put it on his *ahem* junk and it was hard. Ewwww! What a perv.
The end.
I got two left feet, but i can moved my shouders and hips wit tha best of of them…
Ladies who lets a guy save face on the dancefloor(and gives him the digits, if he’s a nice guy)…makes the world a better place.
Back in the day in college when I really used to work it out on the dance floor, wasn’t nothin like a guy that could twerk it right along with me, getting low (u can feel the burn in your thigh muscles), and I would hate hate when a guy was lazy and just stand there and expect me to do all the work.
Now I do like a good dance but not like before, I just can’t grind and get close to random dudes (like said upthread), but I still like a good workout dance every now and then, just not some simulated chex on the dance floor.
Although this post reminds me of dancing with a couple of 2520 guys recently, it was fun even though the rhythm was off and completely awkward. They were leading so we just looked awkard together.
Honestly, are there even any songs out to dance to? I feel like I have to go to the 25+ clubs just to hear some ‘decent’ music. If you go to the 30+ club, you run the risk of bumping into that ‘dirty ole man’ or your uncle (in some cases this the same person).
I’m not a club person anymore, but when I did venture out (back in my hayday), it would turn me off when a guy tried to dance with me. Not saying that I liked to dance in groups, but I prefer to sip on my one drink and ‘get it’ by myself. When somebody gets up on you, even if they can go toe to toe with you, they start to grabbing and poking (pause) and you can’t get rid of him for the rest of the night and 9 times out of 10 he looks like a hunched back gargoyle. You usually find this out if you are dancing facing your friend and someone jumps behind you…you give your girl the ‘is he cute’ look because that will determine how you dance on him…trust you will still dance, but you dance with disappointment…le sigh.
I rather enjoy a gentleman who can dance, not freak, but dance with me and actually hang LOL..now grabbing, coppping feels. grinding with strangers etc NO BUENO but to dance is delightful.
Jai, DWL…I agree. My clubbing days are over and if you catch me there (usually for some event) I’m doing the side eye sip on my drink whine in place with the don’t touch me look.
That avi is crazy lmaaaaoooo
I’m gonna have to ask for you to expound on your avatar, please. Thank you later.
@Cheekie…its a baby w/a lace front…sigh
Yeah, I’m gonna have to quit you ASAP.
Why does this look like a picture of my niece, lace-front and all?
*the things ppl do to their children…smh
its a baby w/a lace front
I’m over here in TEARS!!!
up close pic…smh
http://izismile.com/img/img2/20091215/baby_with_wig_02.jpg
ah hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@Jai, I’m going to un-quit you just to quit you AGAIN. I MUST use that pic for a #fridayfoolery post at my blog! It was typed.
@Jai Why Jai? WHYYYYYY? (x_x)
I’m a girl that prefers to dance with girls so it is very possible my view is going to be skewed. If all you have are ‘winding and grinding’ skills it is time to enroll in a dance class somewhere!! I am no prude but I would probably appreciate ballet skills to a hip hop beat than some of the ‘dancing’ that is pervasive now!
Its not a full proof method, (same thing can be said for hand or shoe size) cause I have known of dudes that can only two step on the dance floor but had MADD skill. technique. and finesse for days as far as coitus is concerned, so I heard LOL…and vice versa you may be able to dance your a$$ off but wack as hell in bed, no skill, rhythm, or finesse etc…….
I really can’t relate to most of these comments. The club was used to pick up women for me and my friends. Rarely did i actually dance. Unless a friend is having a party at a club, Im never there for more than an hour. I guess it all depends on what you are there for.
“And why is Ebony Jackson so doggone perfect?!”
i think we all want an ebony jackson “brown” in our life.
I can’t dance. That’s right I’m a very Black man that can’t dance. What funny is that I can still pop a little and I use to break. I can keep a beat or rhythm but other than that I suck. What kills me is going out and women asking me to dance. I tell them I can’t dance and they don’t believe me. Maybe they get fooled by the way my head nods to the beat? IDK. It seems like women know you can’t dance and ask you to dance on purpose. I come from the era of the hardrock, ice grill, grimey dude where only clown ninjas danced. Which is odd because before then everyone danced. I know dudes that were straight killers that got their Scoob and Scrap on in the 80s. One of these days I will learn how to dance. I think it is something cool to do especially if you have a SO.
O_O you can’t dance? At least you have rhythm, please tell me you have rhythm. You must come down here…asap. We need to work on this. I got friends.
@SmartFoxGirl
I have rhythm. I think that’s why people think I can dance. I can keep a beat with no problem. No one believes I can’t dance when they see me move or dance a little.
“I don’t wanna see no dancing
I’m sick of that shit/ listen to the hit
Cause yo if I look and see another brother

Amerikkka’s Most Wanted one of the greatest albums in hip-hop history. I think this was the first album to get 5 mics from The Source.
“I can’t dance. That’s right I’m a very Black man that can’t dance. ”
Is that what makes you a 1.5?
@Cheekie
My lack of dancing skills, elephant man face, and 4’7″ height makes me a 1.5.
Elephant man face, tho?
I have an idea. Why don’t you go that corner over there? Much obliged.
I haven’t danced with a guy in a while.
Simply because I don’t wish to be dance r@ped. Bad enough dudes try to cop feels as you walk to the bar, bathroom, or other side of the club. I just can’t deal. So I prefer to 2 step by myself and not do any moves that attract unwanted attention.
SMH
I know I’ve said this before (I think) but being Jamaican is a definite plus in this area. I invite you all to come down to Miami and frequent any of the reggae clubs and see how we get down. Hell you might even find your future husband…who may cheat on you because Jamaican men dance so well, they are known to not be so faithful. *sigh*
Any man who can bend me over, lift up my leg and dig up from behind to Mavado without spilling his drink…LAWD. Call me trashy
I have seen videos of Reggae dancing and even though they are fully clothed, 99.9% of the vids are NSFW LOL…yall some nasty folks (and I LOVE it)!
NO PRUDES AT THE DANCEHALL!-this is a public service announcement
Trashy.
@SmartFoxGirl
“Any man who can bend me over, lift up my leg and dig up from behind to Mavado without spilling his drink…LAWD. Call me trashy”
This has comment has to be a VSB violation. VSBs what VSB law did SFG violate with this comment. There has to be something on the books in regards to this.
What you need a pic? Listen…don’t judge me kay? lol I’ve lived a long life.
We need video footage.

“Hell you might even find your future husband…who may cheat on you because Jamaican men dance so well, they are known to not be so faithful.”
Yeah, one of my best dance experiences (actually, the one I mentioned above who I danced with all night) was with a Jamaican dude. He was GETTIN it. I swooned…
One of my WORST dancing experiences was with a Jamaican dude. He was a lame friend that I took pity on and accepted his invite to go out. First he ditched me as soon as we got there to “check out the crowd” then 10 mins later he comes back trying to dance by himself (i’m assuming to show off his moves…). His moves (which he broke down to me in the car was this footwork dance) was a 4 step stumble to the right, followed by a 3 step stumble to the left with his arms up in a droop. I was soooo embarrassed. Then we acted danced together, he was awkward and off-beat.
When he asked me out again, I told him no. We have no chemistry which was quite apparent when we were dancing. This fool decides to counter by stating that it’s good we don’t dance well together; it shows we have a connection on a higher level.
“check out the crowd”
Yes they are famous for this.
But this:
“4 step stumble to the right, followed by a 3 step stumble to the left with his arms up in a droop”
Is his name Delroy? Lmmmmaaaaooooooo
I can never get that image out of my head. Especially cause the Jnig decided to get in the spotlit dance circle to bust a move.
SFG: you know his name is Fitzroy or Fitzpatrick
DWL!!!
nah.. his name is Winston or Garfield
The way he was acting you would have thought his name was Shenanigans. He was talking himself up like he was the next MJ…
“This fool decides to counter by stating that it’s good we don’t dance well together; it shows we have a connection on a higher level.
Now that is one of the funniest sh*ts I have ever read. True Jamaican. Full of nuff chat.
“Any man who can bend me over, lift up my leg and dig up from behind to Mavado without spilling his drink…LAWD.”
Yeah, so SFG…when we goin’ clubbin’ together? The above sounds like my kinda night.
Hey girl whenever you’re here or I’m there…I’m down lol
Cheeks.. she lives down the street from me..
i already invited her out in October!
What a small freggin world…
Wait, so you’re gonna meet an e-person in real life too! Or have you already met her?
I respect a guy who respects the 2 ft rule (i made this rule up). There is no need for a perfect stranger to be grindin on me (especially when I haven’t given you the go ahead or you aren’t attractive). I think its harder for a guy to dance a small distance from a woman than it is for them to grind and rub on them. For one, you actually have to look at the person in the face.
@Ivy st. – you do realize how far apart 2 feet is on the dance floor. you might as well be line dancing. lol
Leaves room for a better suitor to approach. When he does, then we start the “a$$ to crotch dance (lol @ That Damn African) .”
Two feet might be a bit too far, but I understand what you’re saying. I usually try to soften a women up with an innocent face-to-face dance to let them know I’m at least capable of staying on rhythm and that I respect their decision to dance with me or not. Just coming up on a women from behind is way too rapey for me. If she accepts, I proceed to dance closer and eventually make my way into a crotch-to-ass dance (in case that needed to be clarified: my crotch, her ass).
“If she accepts, I proceed to dance closer and eventually make my way into a crotch-to-ass dance (in case that needed to be clarified: my crotch, her ass).”
Thank you beaucoup for the clarification. I was about to think you were Hugh Grant-ing it up for a minute, there…
I have met too many girls that have stated they hate the face-to-face contact. They say it’s awkward. But jumping on some random dudes d!ck is cool??? I appreciate your effort to at least identify yourself first.
If anything, if a murder goes down outside, you’ll have a clear alibi.
What? No “put in work”. Fame?
It is possible to dance with someone who can’t dance well and have fun. My ex couldn’t dance, but he loved music and we’d have fun. I think in some cases it is good if the person isn’t self-conscious and can let it go.
I know some folks don’t wanna’ be all up on a perfect stranger, but in dancing there is a nice quality or energy when two folks can catch a rhythm and be in sync with each other. Real nice!
I concur, this is what I was saying a bit up thread I love to dance honey, and one can dance anywhere practically, cook outs, functions, parties, concerts, living rooms, basements LOL etc etc I have never been a club head, but always loved dancing, its big fun with a suitable dance partner……
Hmmm…typically when I hear of people associating a man or woman’s dancing abilities with something, it’s associated with sex. I’ve found that they don’t always translate. I guess some people just aren’t dancers…or they just aren’t enthusiastic about it.
With that said, I do enjoy gettin close with a fine-azz honey and letting the music move us. At the very least, it’s good times.
Aside: I’ve gotten on the damnce floor with all kinds of women. This one particular time, my 2520 homegirl (who happened to be trained in “classical dancing”) was totally out of phase with me, rhythmically, when it came to dancing to our music. I found that odd…being that she supposedly could dance. I guess there’s a difference.
Classically trained dancers go with beats and usually are taught to count steps… The problem is rhythm has no reason… literally. You have rhythm or you don’t… You can be classically trained all you want and not have one lick of rhythm. Lol.
I remember my ballet teacher in the 4th grade… a darling white woman who moved to an African country… When the other teachers will just do some freestyle with some drums and stuff, that lady was just so friggin’ lost. Poor soul.
Sorry, but a good dancer does not translate to the bedroom. I have been duped on numerous occasions by women who can dance their backsides off, but when came to the mattress mambo, it feels more like necrophilia and regamortis.
The reality is that although all that slackness, winery, duttyness, headtop, pop & grind on the dancefloor is impressive, fascinating and enticing, is not so easily replicated when there is man beef inside her bowl. Chef Boyardee.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! deeaaaaaddddd I know for a fact you are hung now Sobo. Lawd! That’s the only reason for a woman to be excellent at hip whinin and then turn rigamortis with you. Jesum bwoy yuh know i’m at work!
whoa!
coma at 3:56pm upon reading this: necrophilia and regamortis
dead at 3:57pm at not so easily replicated when there is man beef inside her bowl
ps: why is the some of the best dancehall queens (for life) are JAPANESE!!!!!
I love a man who doesn’t dance. That’s sexy to me. Maybe a little swaying here and there, but a non dancer shows confidence. It says, “I don’t have to dance to be cool. I’m cool all by myself.”
it could also say, “I have the rhythm of a plastic spoon” or “This sage green linen suit is too snazzy to sweat in”
both are fails.
@ 8th Wonder
You’re not wrong…but you ain’t right either…lol
Yeah, its a balance I’ve perfected over the years, lol
“This sage green linen suit is too snazzy to sweat in”
Bwhahahahahaha! I bet Steve Harvey dances in his linen though. Lol
When I go out clubbing…I have a general rule…I only dance with women …WHO CAN DANCE…
As a Nigerian dude who love Salsa, Samba Chicago step Hand dancing etc….It’s not a game when it comes to the dance floor…
not interested in the chick with the banging body but can’t dance….not the cute chick who 2stepping…not the hood rat chick who auditioning for the strip club…but the daschund with a wig (#briaMyles) type whose rhythm is so on point and confident on the dance floor. There is something so inherently sexy about being able to move in harmony with someone else without a need for verbal communication. Love a chick who can switch it up from salsa to a dancehall set and back to hand dancing without missing a beat. if she can follow my lead effortlessly and teach me something new…shoot..somebody call 911…lol
Suffice to say all this dancing has lead to interesting experiences on the dance floor….
1.the time six drunk white girls almost stripped my clothes off while dancing ( I don’t dance with white girls anymore…way too unpredictable and i think they’re dancing to the words not the music…lol)
2. the time a chick hit me out of the blue on face book to be her partner in a dance competition after dancing in a club once…almost 3 months prior.
3. the time my boy had to pull me to the side a lil pissed like ” yo …you’re not gonna sleep with my cousin man!!!” after me and his cousin stepped “Chicago style” for the 1st time. I gave him the look like ” I ain’t even do nuthin…man…”.
4. the time I danced for all night doing ungodly thing with the baddest lil dominican chick this side of the planet…who left out with her husband at the end of the night. Dude gave me the thumbs up on the way out and looked like he was gonna tear her ass up when they got home ( i guess they freaky like that)…lol
lmfao, I’m mad at you for citing the daschund with a wig comment. And by “mad at”, I mean “kinda love.”
BmoreCreative: where have you beeeeeeeennnnnn????
1, 3 and 4… f!cking hilarious!
And yet you’re so modest about it- ha!
See I think my problem is that i dance too well.. but let me back up for a second.. i think it’s really more that people automatically assume that I CAN’T dance because I’m half white and/or have more of a middle eastern/european look about me then when they see I actually can dance my butt off, they’re surprised and intrigued..
On top of that, I looooove to dance and I get really into it.. If I’m dancing with a guy who can dance really well, I get all into that sh*t and I don’t necessarily like to keep it PG-13 cause I’m just having fun and feeling the music and the vibe. Unfortunately the outcome of that is that they assume I want to sleep with them or they were intrigued by my dancing ability and now won’t leave me the hell alone…
So I’d rather just not go there unless I really like and/or are attracted to the guy cause it always results in too much hassle and misunderstanding and unwanted groping and attention.
“Unfortunately the outcome of that is that they assume I want to sleep with them or they were intrigued by my dancing ability and now won’t leave me the hell alone… ”
YES. It’s a fine line. I wish more people knew that sometimes the club ain’t just to hook up, but more so to have fun. Don’t go in there with expectations. I’ve never had much of a problem, but one dude did cross that line recently and I had to tell him about himself. Politely, but firmly. And he had the nerve to ask me for my number.
I gave him my old one.
LOL @ the old school tactics.. I wonder why do us women do that.. Instead of saying “Hell to the nah” we give them our old number or our current number with like a 5 at the end instead of a 4 lol.
Or we give it to them and then just never answer.. Made that mistake once n*gga went psycho on me, calling me from different numbers, blocked numbers.. i mean it was like six months before he gave up.. like “NEGRO it was just dancing, give it a rest!!”
“LOL @ the old school tactics.. I wonder why do us women do that.. Instead of saying “Hell to the nah” we give them our old number or our current number with like a 5 at the end instead of a 4 lol. ”
LOL, right. And sometimes I do say no, but I wanted to fux with his mind for thinking it was okay to be all uncouth.
LOL, I do the “don’t answer til they give up” too. But that’s usually because my sober self regretted what my drunk self thought was cool. And dayummm @ the nicca who kept callin you from different numbers. See, that’s why I don’t pick ish up unless you on my contact list or I’m expecting a call from someone outside of said list. I let it go to voicemail. If it ain’t that important to leave a message, then you don’t wanna speak to me. lol
I had to explain to a male friend how even someone as sweet as I have to play these number games. He didn’t understand
1) Why I didn’t just take his number instead of giving him mine? Nigs are too cleaver for that simple ish. They need a guaranteed that they can do the booty call/”so whats up” chat.
2) Why would you give him your real number? 9 out of 10, I would have pulled out my phone during the game-spitting to check email or fb and/or send a “save me” txt to my friends. If I give my number, generally they will call immediately to give you there number (aka make sure you ain’t a lying skeezer).
3) Why don’t you just say no? Me: Have you heard of chicks getting their face slashed because some dude felt he was disrespected? Him: No. Me: Clearly or you wouldn’t have asked me.
Why don’t you just say no? Me: Have you heard of chicks getting their face slashed because some dude felt he was disrespected? Him: No. Me: Clearly or you wouldn’t have asked me.
^^^exactly.
im not trying to lose an eye, ear or any other body parts just cuz dude can’t take no for an answer.
Gather round, little children. It’s another Embarrassing Story Time with ComicBookGuy.
I was in college and I went out with my roommate and some of his line brothers because one of their line brothers just got back from Iraq. We chillin’, having a good time at the club. I saw this cute girl and she had some friends with her dancing. Made eye contact, did the intro thing, she let me dance with her. Everything was going great. She was fine, she told me she was from the Chi, what she was in school and my (at the time) socially awkward butt was happy to have gotten that far. We actually exchange numbers. She went off with her girls and I told her I’d call her. My boy is watching me the whole time and was proud of me. (Yeah, I know it’s sad). The club was packed and I felt like I was on top of the world. We leave, I get in the car and then I realized that I had lost my phone, in the club, with the number of the cute girl I had just met. Yay, me, all because my stupid @$$ decided to put my phone on my belt instead of in my pocket, like I always did, trying to look cool. To add insult to injury, I told my mom I lost my phone and how it happened and she said “Oh, you was trying to look cool, huh?” and she just cackled at me, which she had the right to.
Oh, you want more? Try my roommate told me that a girl I saw one night that I told him that I thought was cute gave him her number to give to me. I got excited and I called the number. All I heard was “Hello, you have reached the Rejection Hotline.” I wanted to kill him. As soon as I came out of my room, my roommates were waiting on me to laugh. Ah, those were the days.
llllmmmmmmaaaaaaooooooo It was a little laugh.

Awwwwww that’s so sad yet priceless!!!!! I won’t laugh at you though.. I appreciate your candor. My condolences.
Go ahead and laugh. I put it out there for comedic purposes. He is still one of my best friends and he got me good, too. If you could have seen the excitement on my face.
lmfao!!! These embarassing stories only make you more endearing, CBG, homie.
Also, why don’t you have a blog…
and a twitter?Hold on… there’s an actual number for the “Rejection hotline”?… don’t hold-out on us bruh- GIVE IT UP!
Lol You haven’t heard of the Rejection Hotline?
Go to http://www.humorhotlines.com. They have numbers for each state so you can find a number for whatever part of the country you live in. It is hilarious.
you have no idea how many lives you’ve just ruined!… thank you!
I think my cousin got me with a number from that site. Not a rejection hotline per se…but yes, my plan is to use that at my b-day shindig.
@ComicBookGuy
LMAO!!!!
They have that hotline here, set up through the radio station.. and they’ll play back the messages on the air..
i just wanna sigh and give you a hug..
awww…
Unfortunately the outcome of that is that they assume I want to sleep with them or they were intrigued by my dancing ability and now won’t leave me the hell alone…
The opposite also happens…There’s been many a chick with a perplexed look at the end of the night when i walk away after a really good dance session…sometimes a brutha just wants to dance…lol
That male dancer in the above pic has a somewhat nice butt.
Chemistry is so important and dancing will have you mess around and find yourself attracted to Alf’s older cousin. I’ve danced many a time in my day, and I have to say I JUST met a dude that fully rolled with me on the floor last month. I mean, reggae, hip-hop, whatever the song and tempo was, no matter when or how I moved, he was right there rockin with me, like our bodies were one and the same. Plus, he kept saying in my ear, “Yeah girl, I ain’t these f**ck ass ni**as up in here, I can do whatever you want me to”.
Cocky too?? Yeah, I loved him. His face, nah…but I mean…bygones.
Come to think of it, after we finished dancing for the 15th time, bye gone is exactly what I proceeded to do.
nah.. while chemistry is muy imporantante, so is sight LLS
And that’s real.
I hung up my dancing hat a long time ago, but in my prime, when I was skinny, ya boy got down on the dance floor. I grew up in Dallas so dancing was always a part of the culture of the city. I watched music videos all the time as a kid and tried mimic everything that I saw. I was the skinny kid with glasses that no one thought could dance until a girl tried to back it up on me and I threw it right back at her. At that time, a monster was born. Went off to college, an HBCU at that, and I would look at a girl on the dance floor at a school party or a club, make eye contact, and if it was cool, she back it up on me. Got to make them feel comfortable. Can’t just run up on the booty. For some reason, the big girls, and the shorties, too, thought they could clown me and break me down because I was this tall, lanky dude, but no no no. One big girl threw it on me at a house party one time, I threw back at her, her knees buckled, she hit the floor. My boy straight cut the music off and saluted me. That was my crowning moment. Hell, me and my best friend would go to clubs and if chicks were just standing around looking pretty, he and I would just start popping and locking and acting a fool. Dudes would serious want to challenge us in the club a la You Got Served. Man, college days swiftly pass.
I always liked dancing as awkward as I was growing up. I almost took up a hip hop or ballroom dancing class just as way to stay in shape. My Latino friends growing up taught me how to salsa, cumbia and merengue and knowing those dances made for some fun nights. My West Indian folks. Man, y’all take the cake. Some of my best times dancing in college where when my boys from Jamaica and the Bahamas threw house parties and it went down every time. By the time I went to Toronto, they weren’t ready for me. (Shout out to Keisha Brown. What up homie?)
I’m with Mr Sobo on the dancing does not lead to sexual prowess thing with women. Let me rephrase that. Women who THINK they can dance don’t bring it in the bed room. They can make for some boring f**ks. A woman that can dance, with some hip control, can do some amazing things.
Now that I am older and 50 lbs heavier, I get my boogie every once in awhile, but I’m like Wu Young, I don’t club much at all. I am a bar dude, personally and I hate doing line dances at my friends’ weddings so if I am at a club, I’m drinking with my boys and looking at pretty girls, their booties, and why some of them overdo it when they go out.
“Can’t just run up on the booty”
I could say/do so much with this but I won’t. I’m going to give you a break on my advances. (even though you give me the ammo, see your comment above) Cause I’ve been told to get a room and we are becoming Brangelina…haters.
Anywho…yes college days were the best days. Being a versatile dancer is a must. Living in Florida with the buffet of cultures, makes it a must to at least know how to merengue. So you’re 6’2 and 50lbs heavier…so where did the 50lbs go to? You can say your head if you want…my mind will stay straight. Oops, you see! I can’t help it!
I knew this would come up, but hey, I usually leave my comments wide open anyway, and you can take that how you want to. That 50 lbs went to my arms, my chest, and my legs. I did squats yesterday and my legs are pissed at me right now. My body actually caught with the size of my head when I started lifting weights, and yes, I did just type that sentence. Have fun with it.
-_o
you aint right *walks away whistling spider man theme song*
Uhn uhn uhn… there IS so many thangs!…
Dammit SFG! I need a eboo too!
He is doin it to himself I tell ya! lol Do what I did, find one and club him. Kind of like Cupid with an arrow except yours if covered in ruphenol.
@ComicBookGuy
this post made me laugh! picturing you brining Precious to her knees in one swift pelvic thrust made me chuckle.
Thank you, I didn’t want to be the only one who envisioned Precious specifically, LMAO
There’s this song they play in Jersey called “Watch Out For the Big Girls”
Everytime that song plays…Precious-ites unite and kill it on the dance floor.
Oh yes, we all know what time it is when that comes on.
And precious-ites is a mouthful…my friends and I (okay, really just me) refer to them as Presci…pronounced presh-i
@LaBakir
“There’s this song they play in Jersey called “Watch Out For the Big Girls””
They play that here in Detroit too. I think it’s Baltimore club music.
@8th Wonder,
“my friends and I (okay, really just me) refer to them as Presci…pronounced presh-i”
That is so wrong on so many levels, yet I cannot stop laughing.
@Humble_One,
“I think it’s Baltimore club music.”
That line right there made me think of the scene in The Wire when Partlow and Snoop rolled up on that cat from New York selling drugs and asked him about Baltimore music and he told them to f**k off and Partlow shot him in the head on the spot. Damn, I love that show.
That line
@8th Wonder
LMAO at Presci! I love it
@ Humble_One..Yessir…Baltimore club…we listen to some of the same songs here…and some “artists” make their own
@LaBakir
You need to hear Detroit Ghetto Tech. If you have ever heard the song “@ss & t**ties” you’ve heard it. It’s crazy. They played it on an episode of Chapelle’s Show
LMAO!! Yea i remember that from college, some of my other Jersey/B-more dance tracks include:
“Hit it from the Back”
“Ass-n-titties”
And who could ever forget:
“I beat that bitch with a bat”
(yes these are real songs for those who don’t know!!)
@thepopculturist,
“I don’t fight. I don’t argue. I just hit that b**ch with a bottle.” Songs like that make me miss college.
@Humble_One and @BK Sweetheart
DWL!!!
Ya’ll ever hear the song “d!ck and b@lls”?
@LaBakir
I have heard it!! My old roomie was from Newark and gave me a whole mixtape of that ish… I couldn’t stop listening to it!! LOL.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHQee6EqHIo
DWL LaBakir you’re wrong lol…big girls can dance standing up in one spot. It’s a gift I tell ya
@ “That is so wrong on so many levels, yet I cannot stop laughing.”
…if I had a dollar, lol
@LaBakir,
Man, it happened to me more often than not. They were the boldest ones. That girl wasn’t as big as Precious, but she was trying to embarrass a ninja so I had to let her know what’s up.
@ComicBookGuy
Ha! I know that’s right!
Your comment made me laugh..
#ThatIsAll
really doh! has the weekend really been that hectic that i can’t get a GOW update??
boooo…
I gave you an update on your blog. I was out in the country with my kinfolk chillin’ this weekend. Chillin’ meaning beer, vodka and Patron shots while playing dominoes and reminiscing about the good ol’ days.
homie?? im a homie now??
*sad state of affairs in the world of keisha brown.
oh wait.. caribana is in 20 days? amercians men (who LOVE ME) in MY home city while I celebrate the big 30 bday (the remix)??
i dont need no e-boo!! hahahahaha..
ps: what’s up cbg! lol.
I’m sorry. I meant no harm in calling you homie. I meant “Kick-a$$ lady from Toronto”.
lol
Don’t make me jealous by counting down to Caribana.
Just have enough fun for the both of us.
that’s much better!
lol.
dont you worry. i have my wednesday, friday, sat, sun, monday plans. thursday is looking empty. hahaha.
“And why is Ebony Jackson so doggone perfect?!”
Ido not know if anyone else has asked, but who is Ebony Jackson?
Also dancing with a guy is a big deal. But I have heard it does not mean he is good in bed. I hope that’s not true cause it mess up my fantasy.
I agree, West Indian woman are the ruth on the dance floor for real.
@Natasha
I think he’s referencing Ebony Brown from last night’s episode of the boondocks…perhaps he got her last name wrong
Oh, thank you LaBakir and I Am Your People.
I think he’s referring to Ebony Brown from last night’s episode of The Boondocks
WHAT TO DO WHEN DANCING GOES RIGHT: i went dancing with a friend this weekend. chemistry YES! rhythm YES! if strictly adhering to the wise words above, i should have been pregnant already. his hands got a little feely and i told him to stop. (call me prude, whatever) and he gets MAD. wtf. was i being stuck up? or are the easy girls of the word are making it hard on the rest of us?
@sincerely: are the easy girls of the word are making it hard on the rest of us
yes.
proceed.
The worst thing about the club is when folks are throwing down some Souljah-boy or Single Ladies type choreography from a music video you haven’t seen yet. I just want to kick it, not audition for Soul Train
Discriminating Machine
(this is more directed towards women, but men feel free to respond if you row in this same boat)
Why does ‘attractiveness’ matter when it comes to deciding whom to share a dance with?
While out, I’ve seen and even overheard countless times where some women refuse to dance with a guy based on ‘attractiveness’. I never really understood this at all. Since when does a dance equate to going home with/exchanging numbers/sleeping with/marrying a person? Isn’t dancing just part of enjoying the atmosphere and having a good time? If so, then why does the person’s aesthetic appeal even matter?
Personally, I will dance with anyone. I do not discriminate.
trashy.
…like yuh mumma.
eh I own it though. you come with the philosophical trashiness.
“Trash” to you. But it’s mind blowing philosophical treasure for others.
Chat bout.
NAH SAH…YUH NAH GU CHAT BOUT MI MAMMA DEN A GWAAN LYK A NUTTIN…MI DUN WID YUH…DUN!!!
I just read your comment right! IZ WHOOO MUMMA YUH A CHAT BOUT???? Mine mi get maaad inside er
How yuh so sensitive?…Yuh can tek buddy, but yuh caan tek joke?
Jeezam peez.
O_O….wars have been started for much less. My mom died when I was 10 so I am sensitive.
Oh wow. In that case please accept my humblest apologies. Surely you know I meant absolutely no disrespect in my jest. Had I known, I wouldnt have ran such a joke. My sincerest apologies SmartFoxGirl.
Just kidding. My mom is alive and well. That’s what you get. Careful cause you never know who you’re talking to. Never chat bout mi mamma…neva! ha ha ha *evil laugh*
@SFG
For some reason I knew yo @ss was lyin… *highfive*
You know, after I hit send, I had that feeling too.
That is just wrong SmartFoxGirl.
Fiyah bun yuh fi da one deh. Gweh!
*hi-five to Yeah So*….tee hee hee
not to be picky (actually i dont mind at all) but my body is my temple. lol. and i’m a west indian woman who gets it in when dancing. and i have a pretty curvacious physique. so not to think too highly of myself but for a guy to be up behind me grinding and girating and touching and feeling while i’m throwing it back giving it all i got… i’m sorry you better be pretty attractive….cuz you’re getting something out of this.
co effin sign…ugly men really don’t know their place. I know it sounds stuck up and I’m sorry. carry on.
I don’t get asked to dance much but i’ll venture an answer..
I think it has more to do with the man who dances with you and THEN thinks that ya’ll are boo’d up for the rest of the night. We’ve all been around that one guy that took the dancing as his entry into the “oh, i’m in THERE” club. The one that thinks he’s p*ssed on our legs and claimed as territory for the rest of the night.
Being that you are a Unicorn.. NOt only a Unicorn, but a unicorn that lives in Brigadoon (1 mil points for the reference) then we’re not used to the guy dancing for the sake of dancing and releasing us once the song is done.. so there’s bound to be some discrimination upfront..
Dem tings nuh gwann dung yah so…
i’ve danced with unattractive people before just because they’ve asked nicely.. and he did release me once the song was up.. but i figure that only happens once, maybe twice in a woman’s life.. so statistically speaking, it’s not gonna happen again..
me and you nickerz are sooooooooo e-friends in my head for this comment. couldn’t have answered it betta miself!!
oh and SoBo is BRIGHTER DEN BRIGHT bout SFG’s muumma.
rude and disobedient and too outtaordah! mi nah! lollll
Tanks Keish! lol
good question…I think it has something to do with the whole idea of letting someone who physically repulses me touch me. I’ll dance with someone I’m not necessarily attracted to but if they gross me out the dance ain’t gonna happen.
Well, I definitely appreciate the honest responses. I can’t deny that I am both disappointed and unsettled by the approach being taken to dancing. It reaks of presumption.
Secondly, are you young ladies aware that dancing does not have to encompass gyrations and groping? You can dance with someone and have minimal to zero physical contact.
If your primary motivation for hitting the dancefloor is to meet someone, I can understand this discriminating approach. However, if you’re dancing simply to have a good time, then I still don’t see why attractiveness should be a factor.
Perhaps ladies, we will just have to agree to disagree on this matter.
*Mental note: These are some stuck up @$$ broads.*
Patois: What a set a gal stush nuh bumbocl@t.
D@mn SoBo sometimes a mofo is just ugly as hell… sheesh, why you judging?
I for one am not THAT picky, but every once in a while a cripled-face ninja will roll-up and well… I just can’t focus on the beat #goodtimeblown *shrug*
“*Mental note: These are some stuck up @$$ broads.*
Patois: What a set a gal stush nuh bumbocl@t.”
-Just cut it out! Ya too rude!!
@Yeah…So
“D@mn SoBo sometimes a mofo is just ugly as hell… sheesh, why you judging?
Well look at the bun up kettle calling the dutch pot black.
I’m not judging. You all are judging your dance partners based on looks. I’m merely acknowledging your judgementality.
judgementality- that’s not a word
It’s not judgement, it’s… it’s… just fact. We not saying they aren’t good people (unlike your facety-self), we’re just sayin if we had to choose between dancing with ewww and keeping down our lunch… we’d keep our lunch.
“judgementality- that’s not a word”
I know it isn’t. The amount of playfully made up words that are used daily on this site, and you want to pick on mine? *smile*
@Yeah So
Ye mon! *takes bite of balsamic chicken*
Sobo,
I always tell you this: this aint a perfect world and we’re not all created equal. Life’s not fair.
@SoBo
AH HA!… it is a word!… that was too easy… d@mn man you getting fooled all over dis site- lol(not @ you tho, with you hopefully)
Oh, I’d like to thank SFG for the inspiration- bwahahahaha!
@Yeah…So
Re: Judgementality
I don’t think it really is a variant of the word judgement. I could be mistaken, but I really don’t believe it is.
@SmartFoxGirl
You have never told me that before. Get your men straight.
Ok confession… I had to google it *Gary Coleman shrug”
On here trying to play me. Not nice. What did I do to deserve this gang up?

ugh!… watch yo back, dats all I’m sayin
“Personally, I will dance with anyone. I do not discriminate.”
^Ditto! It’s not that serious. Dance, have fun, and you might just meet a cool person without it being a romantic connection.
In my experience, the good dancer=good lover thing has proven to be total bullshit. I go by driving, this has NEVER failed me. The way he handles the car he also handles a woman.
catintherain..*applause!!
this could be a follow up post (calling champie or pj).. other ways to tell he might (or SHOULD) be good in bed.
I’ve heard that dancing and bedroom boom coincide but I’m not sure if I believe it though…some ugmo dudes can dance. I’m not sayin, I’m just sayin…
I have to agree and disagree on this one. I have meet guys that had moves of MJ, Usher (pre Tamika), and Chris Brown ( right before the break down on the BET awards) and became Forrest Gump in the bedroom. And I knew a woman who can dance like a dancehall queen who said when it was her turn in the bedroom, she would freeze up like a fresh shaven polar bear in the Artic sipping an Icee. I do look at dance moves as an indicator but other factors are involved
Finally decided to stop lurkin.
Champ been wonderin what happend to u since 04 mayne. U jus disappeared from ur otha joint.
Anyway, I like when a woman knows how to be subtle on the dance floor. Like u see them chicks that like to throw it ALL at a dude on the first dance, i prefer a woman who holds some back until we can tell that the chemistry is there, then over the course of the night (if we make it that far) she turns it up a couple notches.
Oh, and Granddad stay losin. Finally had a good woman, and was simpin too hard to make it work.
Met a guy in the dancerie. He was cute, we talked for a bit. He was cool, too. When he said, “let’s dance” I was all for it. Music’s bumpin, everyone’s dancing, he grabs my hips and insert needle on the record. He locked me into that vice hip grab and I was stuck in a ridiculously off beat situation. Every person that walked by looked at me in that “damn, that girl has no rhythm” way. I kept wanting to scream, “Wait! I do! This isn’t me!” I couldn’t get out of his grasp though.
Oh, he was white. Which explains everything possibly. I couldn’t even bring myself to answer the phone when he called. I gave him my number BEFORE we hit the dance floor. Yuck.
