TL;DR if your 2 poly arm is clipping through your 5 poly body, you are a bad dancer.

fuck im the master of moving arms

HitboxOfASnail · 2014-03-25T18:28:52+00:00

its all in the hips and torso. My personal theory is that these are the body parts most salient in the act of sex and so being able to deftly manipulate them while dancing is a means to subconsciously relay the message: "i know how to fuck good".

Extraneous arm movements just make you look silly.

It seems like if you show that you are confident in yourself through your dance, then others will consider you a better dancer. (while if you seem afraid to really dance properly, you'll be considered bad at dancing)

TIL Doing the running man makes you a chick magnet.

I don't use dance to impress, I'd rather use it to close. Kizomba.. master this dance.. It's very simple and very effective. You don't need the fancy stuff just the 3 different basic steps. The cube at the date and then kizomba at my place always locks it in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdH_0yqOZ0I

Dammit, this 'science' is utterly useless along with the study design being total BULLSHIT. It might be the case that better dancers move their upper body a certain way but doing those things doesn't make you a better dancer or even increase your perception of being a better dancer.

It would have been better if the researchers recruited dancers of similar ability, split the total dancers into like 4 groups each with a different exact dance script (e.g. one moving mainly arms, one moving lower body, etc.) and then tested this same outcome. Though, knowing these types of researchers after reading way too many of these wretched articles, I'm sure there would have been only like 10 people in each of the 4 groups.

Brings an all new meaning to "WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS"

Can't really bend my right knee well since I have had several surgeries on it.

I blame that for my lack of success on the dance floor haha.

My friends and I love hitting the dance floor. Im a good dancer and ive used it to talk to many girls. Get compliments all the time.
I consider myself a good looking fella but im no ryan gosling. But I've managed to dance with the hottest girls in the party even ones that were taller than me. While it works as good attraction you still need to have game to finish the close.

I learned to dance on my trip through Europe. I traveled alone, but meeting fellow travelers and going out with them was an emancipating experience because I had people there who I knew so I felt comfortable, but I also knew that I would never see them again. Once you really stop giving a shit what everyone else thinks and just kinda go with the music, dancing was easy.

I was the kid in school who never danced, even at dances, even at prom, even when we went to clubs. The first week of my trip a Canadian guy I met traveling and I had a dance-off against a group of Brazilians in Lisbon. In Barcelona me and a couple Dutch guys got the whole club formed a circle around us while we danced to Gangnam Style. The only thing stopping you from dancing and having fun is yourself.

"a group of evolutionary biologists"

are these guys really getting laid?

This is not to do with seduction. The article imposes women are attracted to those dance moves. The only things mentioned from the study was that men danced, the dance routine was put onto a 3d computer dummy, then 37 women rated the dummy. Not the dummy's attraction level, the dummy's dance routine. That's point one. Point two. Alpha's DO NOT show instability in there movements, they don't jump around and get their body off center.
