Shake those hips!

I am so thankful that Latin American guys are not afraid to dance. I mean, you’ve still got your typical wallflowers, but there are far fewer here. Praise God! It’s so fun to see guys who aren’t afraid to shake their hips. I’d like to tell all American guys that there’s nothing wrong with gyrating your hips to the rhythm of a song – girls love it! That is, as long as you don’t go overboard. There’s still something distasteful about the surprise attack from behind if the girl’s not expecting it. But in regards to just letting the music flow through you and moving to the beat, these guys know how to groove.

I suppose it’s the culture, where it’s quite normal for a family to encourage toddlers and young kids to shake their booties to the music, all finding it hysterically entertaining when the little ones catch on. So they grow up being rewarded with applause when they decide to dance it up. I guess us Americans just aren’t quite so lively in our family get-togethers.

Perhaps we should be. Girls like a guy with confidence. More boys should be brought up knowing it is okay to express themselves and not be afraid of an audience. I think it would boost their self esteem and confidence on and off the dance floor and may make the difference between winning the girl they like rather than sitting on the sidelines wishfully thinking.

And when a great song comes on, it means more entertainment for everyone.
