[Tango-L] Men's strategies (3)

[sherpal1@aol.com]

Steve. it is so incredible how you guys give all this outpouring of 
support and appreciation for what other men tell you, but pretty much 
attack, deny and ignore what women tell you.  It seems to me that Nancy 
and I (although I do not know her) are pretty experienced in the realm 
of dancing in BA with some very  good milongueros, and yet you all 
hardly give a nod to our experiences and information.   It makes it all 
seem so one way and wooden.  Last time I was in BA, some guy whom I 
recognized from previous trips asked me to dance.  Seemed safe.  He 
thought I was argentine, I am not, he was from Seattle.  After he 
learned I was from the US. coupled with his bad lead that ran me into a 
table, and as he was leaning backward, taking me off my axis, and 
several of his pasos I could not execute because my weight was forward 
on him , he turned to me and said" your  dancing  is very heavy on me 
and your are hurting my recently opearated -on knee."  This crap only 
comes from foreigners who have no sense of themselves and I think have 
a really deep resentment towards women and they use their tango as a 
bludgeon against ladies that are non-argentines....can you imagine this 
guy saying such a thing to a Portena???? not me..  So, fellas, quit 
being so stuck on yourselves and listen to what the experienced women 
dancers have to say...it's far less incestuous and would be 
mind-expanding for you. sherrie

Very nice write-up Steve. And, just in case anyone is questioning 
Steve's
ability to remember all those details, I was sitting with him once or 
twice at a
milonga - he was taking copious notes after every tanda and still 
managed to get
the dances. Way to go Steve!
