White (British) men really can't dance

Well, I've tried and gotten frustrated.

It's silly but lately ballroom dancing has been my social life. I've sorely missed my time on the dance floor since leaving Guam. Going from dancing 6 nights a week to barely even 1 night here in the UK is painful!

When I saw that they offered dancing on campus I thought, "Right, now I can get some exercise!" I was sadly disappointed. The Salsa society is nothing but a bunch of overly horny undergraduates. Maybe it's my age talking....but seriously, I don't think I'm bad looking and I know I can dance...but, I can't even get a MALE partner to dance with! I don't know, maybe Guam has just spoiled me. This club dosen't even teach basic steps correctly - backwards, to be exact! I shouldn't complain because it was a very cheap fee to dance for the whole year.

On the other hand, I've also joined the Ballroom and Latin Society for a larger sum of money and to this day, I've had to ask a guy to dance every time I've been there! It doesn't feel good for my ego. I should get some reciprocity since I dumb down my dancing to fool guys into thinking that they are leading the dance. But even that strategy has failed me. When they dance with me, they think they know the steps, can lead and subsequently get an ego boost. With their new sense of empowerment, they move on to another female and try to "bust a move" but sadly they are disappointed. I was the one that was leading the dance!.....And all I can do is laugh as I watch the look of puzzlement and frustration in the newly formed couple.

Oh well, I wasn't sent here to dance. I can wait till I get home.
