Poor Dancers

Dear Folks,

It is my experience that they are poor dance partners in two
step, waltz, ect. They cannot seem to fallow a lead; which I
believe is associated with creative mental processes.

There may be HPD dancers out there, but, I think that they
rely on carefully rehearsed moves of a repeatable fashion.

My HPD has on frontal lobe section smaller than the other.
I can't remember which side. But womens brains are supposed
to be hemispherically balanced.

Another physical attribute I've seen is that may be seen as
"limp wristed;" in certain moments of stress they let their hands
drape.................like a child. Your thoughts folks. Tks. Ironwood.

PS: Betcha the therapists/bookwriters didn't catch that one! HA!

We should just measure their head shapes and put them in mental institutions before they even start destroying lives.

I can atest that the HPD cannot follow a lead while dancing.

My wife would literally struggle with me while dancing to take the lead. I found this endlessly humorous. It was all I could do not to laugh out loud as we made a horribly embarrassing spectacle of ourselves. I can tell you that we had many a argument over dancing.

Alone, however, she had skills and if a pole was nearby, well, cover the childrens eyes!

...and while institutionalizing them might be the answer for some we really shouldn't rule out sterilization for the remainder. LOL

DNF, you slay me! LOL

The suggestions of institutionalisation and sterilisation imply
that you guys are proposing to cruelly subject these victims to
the prolonged agony of "dasein ohne Leben". Although I have
deficits in empathy, I'm also not a sadist, and would much prefer
to compassionately allow them to peacefully and painlessly drift
away from their suffering for good and save them from all the
failures to which they would otherwise be destined.

The only bit of this I understand was the part in German.

Do you know who coined it, when, and what they wanted to say?
Did you see the movie?

Every year the kkids and I sit down with pizza and coke and give it a run. I find it helps to keep things in perspective for them.

I just felt it necessary to play the victim role. The joke was funny to those who know your sarcasm.

Dancing:
Dancing is not about leading or following. Dancing is about flowing. You do or you don't. Can you learn to respond? approach and retreat? dance with many? be rejected by many? Do you only want one dance partner? Do you want only one dance partner even if you don't dance well together?
Let your partner lead then take it. give it back. have it torn back. Dance back and forth up and down. Never submit to your partner, only to the dance.

Saturday night and I'm typing, not dancing.
