     *yawn*

     Women, you have no idea how hard it is to muster up
the courage to ask a woman to dance, only to have her
humiliate you with a reaction that in effect boils down
to, "No, I'm sorry, but wouldn't you know it, 11:24 pm
just happens to be the precise time I reserve each night
to powder my nose."  Or maybe, "You want to dance with
pretty, young *me*?  Well isn't *that* amusing.  Shouldn't
you be asking my dad about when to set up a tee time on
the golf course instead?"

     It's rough out in that big bad tango world, folks.
If you want more dances at the milonga, do whatever it
takes to get better (gee, this might actually entail
investing some time and money), and don't waste effort
blaming the world for not deigning to give you a mercy
dance.
