?

Why is it that younger dancers in Buenos Aires don’t invite me to dance very much?  They have no problem asking my friend, who is almost my same age, quite slender, a little more casual in dress, and I think younger looking.  But they seem to avoid me like the plague.  Not all of them, of course - but it does seem to be a trend.  I also notice that the men I dance with are usually older than I am.  Sometimes just 5 years older, sometimes a few decades older.  Men.

So what are the young guys afraid of?  Am I too milonguera for them?  Too dressed up?  Too curvy?  Can they not handle a woman?  Or maybe they just haven’t really thought to invite me.  Who knows.

I never really have problems getting dances at milongas so I don’t necessarily feel pain at not dancing with the younger guys, but I do find it very interesting in general and I wanted to put it out there to see what you all might have to say.

I can’t change who I am, I’ll always stand tall and my body will always be the way it is, and I’ll always wear make-up and dress up for Tango.  It’s what I like to do.  And I celebrate the fact that men with life experience and lots of stories enjoy having me in their arms.
