[Tango-L] Igor's Question: a woman's perspective

Usually, I shy away from posting on Tango-L but what Tom Stermitz wrote 
about equating masculinity to confidence was so bang on and astute that I 
had to pipe in and say "yes! that's all one needs to find masculinity - 
confidence."

My least favourite leaders are the tentative insecure ones. Their leading is 
weak. Weak core, spaghetti arms, muddy cues, weak axis, weak balance, weak 
grounding. They either are too weak or too aggressive in their leading, both 
signs of lack of confidence.

So, essentially, weakness in leading is not masculine. Lack of confidence is 
not masculine. Worse of all are leaders who can't stop apologizing. Please 
just cut that out. A simple squeeze or stroke is more than apology enough.

Signed,

One who "has been to our sacred Buenos Aires and so therefore, "know" what 
tango really is".
