Cmv: I think the burden of initiating dancing at the club should fall on women not men
Dating and many other relations between men and women have become more complicated than ever. Yes I believe a lot of growth is needed if men specifically but not exclusively. For me I'm very lucky, I'm a tall, 27 year old dude, I met my wife in my masters at a party where it was still easy to approach women for a dance. I remember what dating was like, it felt more light and comfortable a date just felt like getting 1x1 time instead of a production. Then somewhere it changed. I remember how going to dance with a girl felt possible instead of the field of landmines I hear it has become. As a long time boyfriend I've felt and heard the contempt women hold for men. The "why would you bring your boyfriend" when it's our anniversary or the looks women give when you want to approach and dance next to them. It's practically impossible for anyone to discern if a person wants to dance with you, unless they're pointing and deliberately calling for you, there is no dance that says I want to dance with men. I think that's one difference from going out is that back then women and men looked for each other. Now only men look for Women.
Women twerk because they want to, they dance because they want to with their friends and that's okay, but it makes for a confusing situation. As clearly everyone knows people want to enjoy dancing with the opposite sex but for men initiating that dance comes with a high chance of being seen as aggressive or a creep. It just makes sense for at least when it comes to dancing, not asking out for a date or number but for dancing r should be women asking men. No one can be expected to discern intention filtered through so much righteous hate and disgust.
