Now I see (usually in bars) that women are much less >>self-conscious about being the first ones up on the dance floor, >>so they'll dance together until the floor is sufficiently crowded >>for men to dance relatively unnoticed (a new topic of discussion: >>"why do most men mind being noticed on the dance floor?"). If you notice, most men will not get up and dance until they have had a few drinks. Most men feel self-conscious==insecure about their dancing. In most cases it seems that the female is more graceful==fluid in her dancing than her male counter- part. Besides, insecurities have a tendency to accumalate after watching a Micheal Jackson or Dance Fever or Saturday Night Fever etc. etc. Men think they have to dance this way to please their counterpart.
