Sorry, I have not yet seen a tango, that is 50/50 dialogue. So, I would gladly be a violin (more likely contrabass :-) instead of trying to play the too clever violin.
This dance is a monologue,like it ot not, adorned by some additions from the follower. Otherwise, instead of telling a story, (painting canvas, playing violin), it becomes a quarrel. I see it every night locally. And I am tired of this pseudo-tango. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tango For Her" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2007 4:23 PM Subject: [Tango-L] Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus > MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS > > === Here's something that I got from the book: > > Men are from Mars: When discussing something, men want to state the > answer. > > Women are from Venus: Women discuss to discuss.
