Wanted: A Salsa Partner

There is something so beautiful about men who can “move”. I suppose itcould just be my “type”, but it seems as though men from othercountries are less stuck in their inability to feel free or creative. Inever like those puffy looking football player/gym guy types who paradearound with their arms so muscular that they can’t rest them at theirsides. I see guys like that all the time at the gym. They all look“fat” to me. Latino and Italian men have less of that, “I’m afraid tonot look manly. Here, give me a beer can so I can smash it on myforehead….RRRRaaarrr”, look. I don’t think that there are words enoughto describe how unattracted to that I am. (Note: I may need to deletethis one day if I meet some nice computer programmer type guy who justhappens to be a body builder. I suppose that if he was smart enough, Iwould probably be able to get over the initial lack of physicalappeal…I had a friend who wanted me to meet her fiancé a few years ago,and before I did, she said, “When you see him, you will think he’s uglybut he is really nice to me so don’t be surprised.”…um…that didn’tsound right to me. I think that if I was at the point of gettingengaged to someone, I would’ve forgotten by then that I was embarrassedto be seen with him because I thought he was bad looking. The funnything is that when I did meet him, I thought he was good looking. Maybeshe liked fat gym guys?…oh well! To each his own!)

I just knowthat there is someone out there who is uninhibited and culturally wellrounded enough to be able to move his hips to the beat. I always laughwhen I see big, burly guys wearing suits at weddings, who are “toocool” to dance. Not only that, they are always the lower class ones whodrink too much, their shirts come un-tucked and they inevitably havetheir tie tied around their head or are dancing with their tablenumber. This is NEVER cool. It’s not funny. It’s not cute. It screams,“I’m an insecure jock and I haven’t understood the meaning of any movieother than the American Pie series”. Well…I guess I am a little bitparticular in this area. The funny thing is that those are the guys whoare single at my age. I wonder if they are making the connection?…ofcourse…I am single too and I would never grunt at a television, hunt,fish, mow my lawn...etc… I guess I’m just not a “guy’s guy, kind ofgirl!” A friend of mine asked me the other day if the guy I date “needsto be taller than me”? uh…I’m 5’3” dude! Who exactly are you trying tofix me up with? Michael J. Fox?

Whatever…I suppose that for nowI will continue my quest for someone I’m attracted to who may want todance a salsa or two with me. In the meantime, I’ll just keep my salsaaround for my chips!
