[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

how many incels can dance on the head of a pin?

TLDR:
You should go dance
body:
It is adviced in Pickup material, it is suggested by this community, suprisingly this is the only single advice from women , which you should listen to.
You should take dancing class(es).
But let me be as clear as possible.

Dancing lessons are not primary place where to pickup women.

It is a place, where you train, where you excercise.
If you are already pulling girls , this will be a bazooka shooting range full of turkeys. Dont read further.

If you are bottom 80%, trying to hit on girls there, would do more harm than good.

I started taking Salsa lessons a year ago, those are my Tips&Tricks

Leave your ego outside of the building. Right now you suck and you are there to get better.
Even if girls usually are very friendly on dancefloor, dont start asking for numbers or dates. Its tempting, 'cos these are the rare times where girls are not so bitchy. Use the interaction with them, enjoy the talk, but dont push. Instead of date, ask them for dance after class. Most of dance courses have somekind of freestyle session after classes for everyone. This is the exception.
Accept that not every girl , you will dance with, will like you. For whatever reason.
Accept that lot of women there are single mothers.
Accept that some of girls go for lessons just to get her Ego inflated.
If you dont have friends who can come with you, go alone. Its way easier than go clubbing alone. If girls asks you why you came alone (no pun intended) , just say that you lost a bet.
Clean your shoes, take clean (t)shirt,get a shower and take TicTacs. This go for girls too. I was disgusted sometimes even from the HB9s.
Smile and calibrate. Yes, now you have opportunity to try multiple "approaches" and train openers + smalltalk. Most of women wont blow you out, say most lame "Hi, how its goin for you?" and after partner rotation "Thank you". You dont have to say anything in between , its acceptable, because you are focused on your steps and leading. Instructors often encourage women to be patient with us.
Be nice to UG4>.
Here you can learn how to lead. Its way easier , cos you are encouraged to do that and women dont see it as Patriarchy oppression
Women have it way easier from the beginning. They are able to dance with advanced dancers with ease, even after couple of lessons. Talk to pros, ask them to teach you some easy spin, show them your interest and they will invite you to their inner circle.
Dont amog instructors/advanced dancers. Even if they are creepy weirdos. I know a guy who is grade A dancer, but minute he opens mouth , you want to insta punch him. Even then, hold your horses, they know each other well. Most of them are friendly people who wants to help. Keep it that way.

Dont say sorry so much. If you gently caress some steps up, say it once. No need for more.

Reward good behaviour. If she can feel the rhytm, dance good, done nice spin, say it, reward her.

Punish but not much. Just little hints. It must be as you wants to help her. Smile , be playfuly punishing. This need a lot of calibration.

Pro tip = train eye contact. Dont have to be LAZOR FOCUS till her head caught on fire. This is after a year still hard for me, but I am getting better.

Thanks to bachata and close hold position with one girl I got pretty tight in pants area. Dont freak out, smile and playfuly "oops" . Girl was loving laser eyeing me , kinoing my back musles and arms + her firm tits and tight clothes....geeez.... ok this one I should go for number at least :)

After successful beginner course, take advanced AND beginner again. Yes, do it again. Ussually they are in one day after each other.

Learn basics. Really you need to know those basic steps even in the middle of the night with gun at your forehead. Those are the steps you will be doing in between any creations.

After basics , you really need to know only couple of figures. Most of them are woman spins, your spins, La Linea (basicly you will change her and your position) with modifications (even more spins) and arm positioning. Those figures are enough for one song and ussualy you already know 75% of them after couple of lessons. Try them on the after class dance.

Try different dance types. There is Bachata, Kizomba,Zouk ... each of them have little different basic steps, preffered figures and for me different music. Salsa music is really boring for listening, I didnt found any good mixes, but right now I found Bachata to be good.

Dont be afraid to go on beginner course again (I mean 3rd+ time). Lot of times there are just not enough guys. Seen courses with 3:1 women:men ratio. In my city you can take the beginner course for free, because you are helping the lessons going and the girls keeps on coming (=paying for lessons)

Beginner goofiness kills attraction, that is the number one reason why you will not be able score.That is the reason why I said , stop try to hit on them. Observe more skilled dancers. They will pull the girls from your skill level. Every salsa-LTR-couple is ussualy skilled guy and level or more below woman. Never other way around.

^ Women are not attracted to same or lower dance skill level. Yes, you can pull girl if she is level under you. If you are relatively better than her, than you can get her. Vice versa nope, too much to loose(eq making GBS threads where you need to eat). You dont want to destroy place for training.

Dont stop dancing. This is like lifting. Stay in cycle. There are only two ways. Getting better or getting worse.

I dont recommend alcohol. I ve seen some guys that it helps them with rhytm, they loosen up , one beer little/wine dont hurt, but its mostly waste of money cos it adds up pretty quickly. Forget about shots.

Going on low level lessons also helps with preselection. Most of time, the girls from previous courses are waiting for beginner lesson to finish and they are watching your interactions with other noobie dancers. Its a triple win. You are interacting with other women and they are ussualy having a great time with you thanks to your slightly higher skill. You already know the dance basics , so it looks much more smoother,even it is loving mambo. They are almost forced to watch, because there is not much going on.

Go on dance parties and !there! approach other girls. Use your friends from lessons for warm up dance and preselection. Rinse and repeat.

Edit++

Ask questions , but dont overcomplicate things. I have seen guys asking for exact step length or how many degrees he should turn.If it helps you, write it down after class. Here train your muscle memory. Thinking about next figure will kick you out of rhytm.
I will welcome tips and tricks from you guys too. Always looking for new fresh look on problem.

TLDR:
You should go dance
body:
It is adviced in Pickup material, it is suggested by this community, suprisingly this is the only single advice from women , which you should listen to.
You should take dancing class(es).
But let me be as clear as possible.

Dancing lessons are not primary place where to pickup women.

It is a place, where you train, where you excercise.
If you are already pulling girls , this will be a bazooka shooting range full of turkeys. Dont read further.

If you are bottom 80%, trying to hit on girls there, would do more harm than good.

I started taking Salsa lessons a year ago, those are my Tips&Tricks

Leave your ego outside of the building. Right now you suck and you are there to get better.
Even if girls usually are very friendly on dancefloor, dont start asking for numbers or dates. Its tempting, 'cos these are the rare times where girls are not so bitchy. Use the interaction with them, enjoy the talk, but dont push. Instead of date, ask them for dance after class. Most of dance courses have somekind of freestyle session after classes for everyone. This is the exception.
Accept that not every girl , you will dance with, will like you. For whatever reason.
Accept that lot of women there are single mothers.
Accept that some of girls go for lessons just to get her Ego inflated.
If you dont have friends who can come with you, go alone. Its way easier than go clubbing alone. If girls asks you why you came alone (no pun intended) , just say that you lost a bet.
Clean your shoes, take clean (t)shirt,get a shower and take TicTacs. This go for girls too. I was disgusted sometimes even from the HB9s.
Smile and calibrate. Yes, now you have opportunity to try multiple "approaches" and train openers + smalltalk. Most of women wont blow you out, say most lame "Hi, how its goin for you?" and after partner rotation "Thank you". You dont have to say anything in between , its acceptable, because you are focused on your steps and leading. Instructors often encourage women to be patient with us.
Be nice to UG4>.
Here you can learn how to lead. Its way easier , cos you are encouraged to do that and women dont see it as Patriarchy oppression
Women have it way easier from the beginning. They are able to dance with advanced dancers with ease, even after couple of lessons. Talk to pros, ask them to teach you some easy spin, show them your interest and they will invite you to their inner circle.
Dont amog instructors/advanced dancers. Even if they are creepy weirdos. I know a guy who is grade A dancer, but minute he opens mouth , you want to insta punch him. Even then, hold your horses, they know each other well. Most of them are friendly people who wants to help. Keep it that way.

Dont say sorry so much. If you gently caress some steps up, say it once. No need for more.

Reward good behaviour. If she can feel the rhytm, dance good, done nice spin, say it, reward her.

Punish but not much. Just little hints. It must be as you wants to help her. Smile , be playfuly punishing. This need a lot of calibration.

Pro tip = train eye contact. Dont have to be LAZOR FOCUS till her head caught on fire. This is after a year still hard for me, but I am getting better.

Thanks to bachata and close hold position with one girl I got pretty tight in pants area. Dont freak out, smile and playfuly "oops" . Girl was loving laser eyeing me , kinoing my back musles and arms + her firm tits and tight clothes....geeez.... ok this one I should go for number at least :)

After successful beginner course, take advanced AND beginner again. Yes, do it again. Ussually they are in one day after each other.

Learn basics. Really you need to know those basic steps even in the middle of the night with gun at your forehead. Those are the steps you will be doing in between any creations.

After basics , you really need to know only couple of figures. Most of them are woman spins, your spins, La Linea (basicly you will change her and your position) with modifications (even more spins) and arm positioning. Those figures are enough for one song and ussualy you already know 75% of them after couple of lessons. Try them on the after class dance.

Try different dance types. There is Bachata, Kizomba,Zouk ... each of them have little different basic steps, preffered figures and for me different music. Salsa music is really boring for listening, I didnt found any good mixes, but right now I found Bachata to be good.

Dont be afraid to go on beginner course again (I mean 3rd+ time). Lot of times there are just not enough guys. Seen courses with 3:1 women:men ratio. In my city you can take the beginner course for free, because you are helping the lessons going and the girls keeps on coming (=paying for lessons)

Beginner goofiness kills attraction, that is the number one reason why you will not be able score.That is the reason why I said , stop try to hit on them. Observe more skilled dancers. They will pull the girls from your skill level. Every salsa-LTR-couple is ussualy skilled guy and level or more below woman. Never other way around.

^ Women are not attracted to same or lower dance skill level. Yes, you can pull girl if she is level under you. If you are relatively better than her, than you can get her. Vice versa nope, too much to loose(eq making GBS threads where you need to eat). You dont want to destroy place for training.

Dont stop dancing. This is like lifting. Stay in cycle. There are only two ways. Getting better or getting worse.

I dont recommend alcohol. I ve seen some guys that it helps them with rhytm, they loosen up , one beer little/wine dont hurt, but its mostly waste of money cos it adds up pretty quickly. Forget about shots.

Going on low level lessons also helps with preselection. Most of time, the girls from previous courses are waiting for beginner lesson to finish and they are watching your interactions with other noobie dancers. Its a triple win. You are interacting with other women and they are ussualy having a great time with you thanks to your slightly higher skill. You already know the dance basics , so it looks much more smoother,even it is loving mambo. They are almost forced to watch, because there is not much going on.

Go on dance parties and !there! approach other girls. Use your friends from lessons for warm up dance and preselection. Rinse and repeat.

Edit++

Ask questions , but dont overcomplicate things. I have seen guys asking for exact step length or how many degrees he should turn.If it helps you, write it down after class. Here train your muscle memory. Thinking about next figure will kick you out of rhytm.
I will welcome tips and tricks from you guys too. Always looking for new fresh look on problem.

Also as soon as we landed I thought the plane was on fire when they vented in the florida air which apparently has the texture of jello:
