Ok, I get the general message.  Those who replied largely said they like
to go out dancing to dance and not necessarily to meet guys, and it's
easier to dance with other women when you like to dance, or dance by your-
self.

Just a few more random questions:

(For guys)
Do you like to go out dancing?
If not, do you like to go out to places where people dance, because you can
meet MOTAS there, even though you may not like dancing or may not be good at
it?
If at such places, do you like to spend the time just watching the people on
the floor, or do you try to start conversations with MOTAS, or just sip your
favorite brew?
Do you go alone, or with a bunch of other guys?

(For everybody)
Assuming you like to go out dancing, do you hope to meet potential SO's where
you dance, or do you hope to make friends (I do), or do you just look for 
people to dance with?
Do you find it difficult to meet people at places to dance?  (I do.)

Also, if you could send mail saying where you live, and some of the places
you enjoy dancing at, I could summarize and post a listing of all the hot
night spots across the country.  Anybody interested in a net party where the
theme is dancing?  whuxl!recruit, are you listening?

Just a casual observation:  Perhaps a larger number of guys don't like to 
dance than women.  Assuming that there are more women than men who go out
dancing (or to dancing places), the figures would be shifted in favor of
more women to men.  Seeing as these women like to dance, they'll dance alone
or with other women.  A significant amount of men I know don't like to dance
or aren't very good at it, which accounts partially for their reluctance to
dance, however the possibility of meeting MOTAS at dancing places may move
certain men to go to dancing places.  Most have bars also, so they can sit
on the sidelines and drink, which is what they'd do at a bar without dancing
anyway.
