I have known nothing other than friendliness with the women. There are those more willing to engage than others, but that is life.<br />@Anon - you might want to get a man to talk to your dancer with the BO if you can't do it yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-80969844672730871752010-01-21T09:56:07.050-08:002010-01-21T09:56:07.050-08:00I am happy to be part of this beautiful group of w...I am happy to be part of this beautiful group of women all over the world!<br />A delicate subject i would like to have feed back on is how can I be gracious and not hurt anyones feelings when he is one of the better dancers however has body odor and sweat that gets all over me and i find myself gagging.This is his personal chemistry. I reapply my cologne to over power his lingering scent on my hair and clothes. I suppose we have to put with these issues sometimes when the tango community is very small. Perhaps I could give him a bottle of cologne as a gift and tell him I adore this fragrance and to try it. He did comment once and seemed proud of the fact that he did not wear cologne. Any suggestions on how to be diplomatic about this subject? This is a man I like and respect,not a casual encounter which I know changes things around.<br />Dear ladies,I know this subject is talked about all the time however ,any advice would be appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-42805169242847477352010-01-04T11:28:23.571-08:002010-01-04T11:28:23.571-08:00The longer you are in Tango, the harder it will be...The longer you are in Tango, the harder it will be to remember this. The human condition loves to complain. There will be a time when you will wonder why you are not getting as many dances as you used to. It is then that you will feel the pull of the negative. Instead, remember that the women around you are your friends, and focus on the positive of socializing with them instead of wondering "what you did wrong" to not be asked to dance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-19898980537636113242010-01-03T19:26:55.530-08:002010-01-03T19:26:55.530-08:00Elizabeth, Tango Theologian, and Bastet - thank yo...Elizabeth, Tango Theologian, and Bastet - thank you so much for your comments.
