"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Ok guys the weakest part of my game in a club is dancing. Whats a fashionable modern dance to learn that you can apply to dance music or older songs? im not even familiar with all the names so a brief description would be useful also. :)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

it's nothing you learn, it's something you feel. after going a while, you will be so confident in it. I use to be self-conscious about dancing at the club but after doing it a lot then i got use to it. Just watch some Justin Timberlake concert videos, and try to mimic his moves. They aren't that hard if you practice ;)

Swing & Blues (particularly Blues, but you don't learn one without the other). Those two are dances based on improvisation, grooving your entire body to the music and good understanding of rhythm & musicality. Once you get good at them, you can pick up everything else easily. They're my foundation (plus tap dancing). I do other dance styles as well and I get them very quickly. I can go to any club, and it doesn't matter what music they're playing, I can adapt and look like I've been learning the dance style for that song for a long time.

This is what other guys do (other than being wallflowers) and I'm so glad they do that, because it means that I don't need to do much to own the dance floor. :D
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Confidence is king with club dancing. You don't have to learn to dance properly. Just have a look around occaisionally at what other people are doing and just start moving and don't hesitate. You will only look weak if you look shy, embarrased etc.

I can't dance for toffee but I just get a couple of drinks in me and go for it!

One of my friends also can't dance but he really goes for it on the dance floor, finds his own space and busts the moves out. We used to laugh at him but women go up and approach him. As long as you have the confidence to pull it off you are fine.

I go for a bit more of a restrained style but the one thing I do like to do occaisionally is (depending on the music) throw a few gimmick moves in there e.g. the chainsaw, John Travolta moves from Pulp Fiction etc. etc.

I no longer dance.

I'm older than most of you, been there, done that. Don't wanna do it anymore.

It's not an absolute essential that you do it, and most of the clubs are so crowded, you're pretty much just rocking back and forth anyway.

I say if you enjoy it, and it's something you want to learn, then go for it. But I wouldn't do it just to try to impress women. The efforts vs. the results is not a great pay out, in my experience.

In most cases, just be good enough so that you don't get laughed at-and thus, don't have to turn down a dance from an HB because you are afraid. But beyond that, it's pretty unusual that a chick is going to be into you because you're a great dancer.

Corey puts exact moves from some singers (justin timberlake , nelly furtado :crazy: ) from their music video . And doing the exact same moves its a bit too HARD TRYING and it will be creepy a bit . Learn some nice smooth moves and thats it . Dancing MY LOVE like Justin dances it is so creepy.

Techno's easy, just get some light sticks and twirl them and nod your head in the same direction for a few hours.

I have the same problem and that's the main reason I avoid clubs. I tried learning off youtube videos, and I do have some musical skill, but when it comes to dancing I just suck. I took a few salsa lessons but I just didn't like it so I gave up.

I think salsa might be what you're looking for but I've heard something about east coast swing (sp?) that seems to be pretty popular.

UK has a variety. in a mainstream club you will have Dance.R+B,cheese(bon jovi etc) in seperate rooms, however i prefer funky house when im in liverpool (otherwise prefer dance).
And i want to LEARN a relavant style of dance rather than twirl a glowstick!

You can dance now. What, did you think dancing well is an accident?

Your mission now is to scour Youtube for dancing videos. Find something you like, that you can do, and start practicing.
