I think it's discriminatory to refuse to dance with a partner of the opposite gender. Or the same gender.

Now, please, Louise, pull me up from my knees. I'm getting too old for this.

I think Ibram mentioned earlier in this thread that he had posted that, and that he enjoys dancing with girls.

The question is about the policy.

If at least 51% of the people are doing it then it's considered "normal".

Ibram is bi-sexual wolf.

That's the rumor, but I don't think he's getting any from either side, so it's tough to tell.

I'm not getting any from ANYONE, bruce, but I do know who I am and am not attracted to - and gender does not have any bearing on attraction for me.

I know, but as you gain more experience you may find your desire to form a close relationship, especially a physical one, shifting to one or the other rather than both.

Well I'll openly admit that, as a bi person, I favor women a bit over men...

This is about how it goes.

An ugly man is a lot uglier than an ugly woman.
A REALLY ugly man is not as ugly as a REALLY ugly woman.
An average man is worse-looking than an average woman.
A hot man is worse-looking than a hot woman.
A REALLY hot man is a lot hotter than a REALLY hot woman.

It's kinda complicated. The top tier of hotness is almost all men, but under it its all women for a long way.

And as for closeness and non-physical attraction, I also favor women - only because I think most men are simply assholes, too concerned with machismo and ridiculous shit like that.

It's not all that complicated, simply personal preference as to what you find attractive, in order of preference.
But when it comes to dealing with a personal and sexual relationship, (which I'll bet money you will eventually do), with another person, it's a different ballgame then attraction or even social friendship.

Trust me, it will get complicated when that special someone thrusts their hand into your chest, rips out your heart, dribbles it around the floor, then slam dunks it into a Cuisinart.

But anyway, you may find your attraction shifting one way or the other when it comes to relationships. Just hang loose and let nature take it's course.

<sniff...sniff> I am truly moved by this. I MUST engrave this on a plaque and place over my monitor first thing in the morning.
