I'd also like some comment on the experience of the Mad Robin - all the callers I know really emphasize the "look at your partner while you do this" but, like the gypsy hey, I find it a bit, um, rude, to ignore the woman I'm passing in a Mad Robin while I stare at my partner (whom I may not feel like staring at in the first place, much as I may enjoy his friendship).
I prefer to catch the eye of the other lady in a "girl-power, isn't this fun" way, since we usually start the move by passing by each other, then quickly shift to my partner and smile - so much more community-friendly, even flirtatious, IMHO, than the "I can't take my eyes off you" stare with a person who is, after all, usually not someone I...can't take my eyes off. What do the rest of you think? M E On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 10:30 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > That would be an interesting discussion topic.
