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

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Hi Sherrie,

I don't think it was Steve that was contradicting you.  I believe he only shared his personal experiences.  I am also surprised that yours and Nancy's experiences are being pooh-poohed, as if with the hundreds of male dancers in BsAs have only one way of asking a woman to dance and one moment in time to ask.

It doesn't take much to catch someone's eye.  At a local milonga, it's pretty easy to note who comes and goes even while dancing.  A little something that registers in the head, not like filling out a spreadsheet of data.  I don't think that type of communication you and Nancy talk about has reached the States because guys are too busy trying out their new steps and looking at their partner (instead of the floor and creates all types of navigational hazards).  If a man dances simply and musically, I think what you and Nancy describe is quite reasonable.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.  And thanks to Nancy, too.  It adds a useful dimension to the tango culture in BsAs.

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.
