Men vs. Women

On Saturday night I put on the boot and jeans (horrible in this heat) and headed out to the Round Up for some two-stepping.
I was in the mood to do some boot-scooting and I got my wish. YAY!

While not dancing I saw friends I haven't seen in ages and got caught up on their lives. One friend stopped me and asked me if I would dance with his friend, he commented that I was a great dancer. He said it was her birthday she wanted to have a good time out with the gay boys. I danced a couple of dances with her and I noticed a few differences of dancing with men vs. dancing with women.

Those 'fun bags' (aka b@@bs) were in the way with the woman! I had to position myself between them to dance and do some of the dance steps and twirls. I also had to take smaller steps and tone it down. With men I can take larger steps and put them where I want when leading (I am a strong lead). A woman does follow better... sometimes.

One also gets a choice of leading or following when dancing with a man whereas most women always follow.

Which do I prefer?

Absolutely dancing with a man!

I checked out the Round-Up's website and saw that it was humongous! I love places like that where smaller, themed areas are all under one roof. You should run for Mr. Round-Up 2011.

Would it also account for your preference for savory over sweet as you mature? :-)

PS My Word Verification is kurankie. Is that how the kids spell it these days?

When I was a two-step or, I was always the leader. I actually enjoyed dancing with women more than men. Perhaps it's because I was in competition dancing. Perhaps it seemed archetypal, the union of male and female.
