Can it ever be masculine for a man to dance on a pole?

[MatureDJ]

I was looking at this interesting little blurb about a man in Japan learning to pole-dance:

My opinion: Except for men who need very quick egress to vehicles (e.g., firemen), I can't come up with any reason why a man would want to learn this craft - and even then, certainly without any artistic flair.

I'd never try to master this, but I've danced on a pole before at a parking lot party while attending a Jimmy Buffet concert. You wouldn't believe the girls that got excited and approached me. Some left their boyfriends standing off to the side to join in on the fun. Most were 15yrs younger than me.

Jesus, no!

It's a giant penis, get it?

Pole dancing...masculine?

Do you guys really need this explained to you? Dudes take pole dancing classes to meet girls. All those picks had one dude and a bunch of girls pretending to be strippers.

I don't know how pretending to be interested in pole dancing to meet girls interested in becoming strippers is any different from pretending to be a photographer to meet strippers who are interested in becoming models.

A guy pretends to be [current popular trend] to meet girls.

Same as it ever was.

I've taken yoga classes, cooking classes, meditation classes, acting classes, Tai Chi classes and all kinds of classes at community colleges. If they had a pole dancing class I would have taken it.

Pretending? You call taking 50 photos formally rated by a third party service 96% or higher pretending? You call working on camera technology for Apple (and taking home 1/3 of a million this year) pretending? You call reporting modeling expenses to the IRS pretending? Why don't you pretend to get laid once in a while, Wang Chung?

Man, you Asians went from ripping off our technology and the People of Wal-Mart (and green rivers) to outright temper tantrums. We kicked your ass in Midway and we'll do it again.

PS - This girl is now a computer programmer. Tomorrow's model is a waitress, the following a hostess, and next is a checkout girl.

you know neil you are not the only one who did the photo strippers for model as a thing to meet or have a quickie, so you don't need to be but hurt, I also didn't see him mentioning you.

Prove it. Show us photos.

Damn dude! Lighten up Francis.

I wasn't slamming you in the least. I'm merely pointing out that dudes do things not because we really want to do those things, but we think/hope doing those things will get us laid.

I even mentioned all the goofy stuff I've done (forgot to mention a couple of ballroom dancing classes I took) to meet girls (successfully). Do you think I EVER would have taken a yoga class if I thought it was going to be full of dudes?

No, I would not.

And YOU would stop being a "photographer" in a couple of nanoseconds of you could ONLY take pictures of trees.

And since you are asking others of PROOF of their "online boasts," do you have any PROOF that ANYTHING you've done as a "photographer" has ever turned a profit?

In a sense, you're not much different than "musicians" who carry their guitars around (and get laid) without every having SOLD any music.

Again, I'M NOT SLAMMING YOU, so take a deep breath and see the big picture here.

I'm merely pointing out that dudes taking pole dancing classes MAY BE DOING SO so they can get laid. Just like YOU are a photographer so YOU can get laid (or fall in love).

Get it?

(BTW, do all these girls who've pictures you've taken as a photographer know that you keep posting them on a men's forum to support your boasts about your lady slaying skills?)

How does a guy spin around a pole without hurting himself?

Doesn't his junk get in the way?

Pole dancing can definitely be alpha an masculine. just look at that magic mike ****....I mean you get a jacked duded pretending to smash a chick while use a pole for leverage...you can make it look bad ass. lol no homo.


@bigneil ....can you post a selfie with you and a few of your girls? Ill match whatever you post with mine.

 

[bigneil]

Not sure if I want to share pictures with a man who went to see Magic Mike... but if you show me a girl this hot I might.

 

[62Telecaster]

You couldn't pay me...just no. I mean, this little thing called "pride" exists in all of us and I don't exactly feel like smashing mine into the ground and pissing on it.
