Tonight, I asked a woman to dance. She replied, "Would you like to lead or
follow?"
I was startled. I answered "Do I look like a follow?..Hello-o-o. I had lapsed
into Valley girl
speak when what I should have done was my impersonation of Christopher Walken.
So, Ok, I got it together and did my best Chris "Wow, this is confusing!..I
dance tango in order to feel like a man...and what do I get?...unisex?
What's this.. no more man, woman? Is that it? ...she replied again, "No, I
just wanted to
know if you wanted to lead or follow?" I could have milked the scene, it was
rich material
so, I did a couple more lines in my best Christopher Walken voice (whenever I
feel vulnerable, I go to Chris) and then we danced.
It's the man who approaches the woman. It takes a bit of nerve to feel like
you can
pull it off with her...it's not easy. There should be some respect..I don't
get any respect.
