dancing is for everyone, just gotta find the right headspace (and the right music, it's still hard for anyone to dance to music they don't enjoy imo).

I disagree. If it implies forcing one self and a lot of work, it definitely isn't for everyone. On top of that, some people (me) just refuse to dance, because I find it stupid and not even funny.

Have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone? Have you ever tried learning a new skill that you're not a natural at? That's life my dude.

Yes, I have stepped many many times out of my comfort zone. Thank you for you concern. However, I consider dancing such a stupid, meaningless thing that even my stupidest part plainly refuse to even think of learning it. It's not like it is a useful skill anyway.

I have a hard time believing this mostly because of your attitude towards it. Is it stupid and that's why you don't like it? Or you don't like it, and therefore it must be stupid? Seems like the latter. I'd also disagree that it's not a useful skill, like any soft or social skill it has its place and it can be surprisingly useful in certain circumstances. For instance, is it useful to be able to impress your preferred gender of person? Or to make them laugh? Dancing can definitely help with that.

When I was younger I thought golf was a useless "dumb" sport, I'm now kicking myself for not picking it up a decade ago because it's extremely useful for networking and building/maintaining relationships.

I don't need to "impress" anybody. And if someone would try to "impress" me by dancing, lol, good luck with that. And frankly I prefer to avoid people that love dancing. So I don't need (not even want) to maintain these kind of relationships.

Let's stop here. I'm not going to change my mind on this topic. Ever.

You can claim that, you may even believe it, but that's all the first steps of dating someone really are. Maybe you don't do it with dancing, maybe you dazzle them with your vast intellect, but it's the same thing.

Feel free to stop whenever you'd like lol no one is going to force you to dance like no one is going to force you to reply 😉
