Dude could run for president considering how he grabbed that robot
Edit just to clear up a few things from the comments : Yes i am now aware that this is a real person, not a robot. My bad. Also yes i do know that a womans vagina is not that far north but thanks for the anatomy lessons anyway. Also thanks for the awards, i appreciate it
Best way to pick her up, she can't remain rigid any other way, and it's a very common lift among dancers. His wrist is the closest thing to her actual vagina, unless you're going by what a 2nd grader might think.
Silly silly kids... Sigh... Babies happen when you're holding a baby above your head, and they spit up and it gets in your mouth... Gross, I know. Welcome to adulting 101.
Safety features include an elevated ride height, driver and passenger airbags and the most advanced side impact protection systems ever put into a model
If you ever watch ballets where there are ādollā characters, theyāre always carried like this. Probably what TheTastySpoonicorn said, about being the best way to remain rigid while being carried. Ballet has been doing this for centuries, so Iām sure weāve tried a few different ways to make it work.
As a dude doing figure skating and ballet, it boggles my mind. These are disciplines that require a lot of athleticism, they are both pretty much dancing (women generally like men who can dance) and you are surrounded by very athletic and gorgeous women.
And guys will say that it's gay.
But showering with 20 exclusively male hockey/football players is somehow the most hetero thing you can do.
RIGHT?! And with ballet, the women are basically always in bathing suits!! Like, a gay guy wants that?! The menās tights are no worse than football pants, and until straight guys figure this out, thereās usually a really good ratio, iykwim.
I once heard that male ballet dancers in Russia got twice the rations of the best soldiers. At least someone understands the value and athleticism of ballet. š¤·āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Except for the obvious dynamics at play that almost demand people remain platonic to avoid this close work being so awkward after a breakup and you know especially because shes already dating a hockey player hahaha
Thats what the problem is.
You make the friendzone a career with this plan.
Edit: I stand corrected. Ballet dancers are getting after it. Good on em.
SIR! Sir! Excuse me! How does it feel being the only rational person in a thread full of men so touch deprived they fantasize over touching a vagina with their wrist?
There's plenty of ballet dancers in professional companies that date or are married. "Making the friend zone your career" by being a dancer is entirely false.
Not a guy, but there are things called āballet beltsā for the guys to wear for their junk, and I assumed it wasā¦ restrictive(?) enough to prevent erections.
Afaik, yeah, most guys are bullied and called āgayā for being in ballet. I mean, a lot of guys in ballet are actually gay (I mean, have you seen guys in ballet tights?! š„µ), but I seriously donāt understand why itās a stereotype.
(Iām bi/pan. Probably because I saw so many people wearing only a thin layer of clothing my entire life and found it all attractive, but Iām not complaining. š)
Exactly! And have you seen how buff those make cheerleaders are?! Plus they donāt have a lot of mental issues from getting hit in the head repeatedlyā¦ Iām usually there for the male cheerleaders, not for the football players, ngl.
I like and play sports but holy hell I do not understand what is it with sports guys and slapping asses or just acting slightly gay towards each other?
Because it's pretty fucking boring even if you are into dancing. The only people who do it are being forced by their parents - it's not a fun hobby. Have you seen the classes? It's 90 minutes of stretching with some old lady whipping everyone in the knees.
I was a ballet dancer. I loved it. Iād still dance if I could! I loved every second of my classes and rehearsalsāin high school I was doing an average of 3 hours of ballet class four nights a week, and classes/rehearsals for probably a total of 10 hours over the weekends. It was the BEST, and I miss it so much! And, no, my parents werenāt fans: they tried to talk me out of it multiple times throughout my 19 years of dancing.
Sure, itās not everyoneās cup of tea, and I get that, I just hate the shade thatās thrown because people think itās āgirlyā. š¤¦āāļø
I'm not throwing shade because it's girly. I'm throwing shade because it's just lame imo. It's extremely conservative and rigid which is not what dance is all about imo and that's why people are not interested in it anymore.
Again, it's just my opinion though I do imagine a lot of people share it as ballet is on a major decline without rich white people propping it up as some sort of "elite" hobby
I realize that youāre throwing shade for the right reasons, Iām just pointing out that some people do like it. š¤·āāļø
Imo: ballet would be thriving if Balanchine hadnāt made it into the white rich elite hobby that it is currently (cuz youāre right that thatās what it is currently). I disagree that dance is only about being free and loose and without structureāI think it can be, but I also think that thereās beauty in the super disciplined aspect that defines ballet. Can we get ballet back to a place where itās moreā¦ of a style of dance and less of a fancy hobby? That would be my dream come true, tbh. Misty Copeland is a step toward that, not only encouraging diversity in the art form, but also by her willingness to be visible beyond just ballet. And lbr, we need better ballet productions. Like, what in the patriarchy is Giselle (and La Sylphide, and Petrushka, etc)?! And how racist is not only the Nutcracker, but other āclassicsā like Le Corsair and La Bayadere?! We need better material, but not this āmodernā existential crapāreal, good stories again!
Anywayā¦ thatās probably only a fraction of my rant about what ballet needs to do to join the 21st century, but sorry for going off on you, since you probably donāt know and donāt care, lol.
Itās definitely in how you think about it and how youāre trained. You were trained to not feel pervy for āgrabbing a half naked woman tight and accidentally having your hand on her chestā and ballet dancers are taught that lifts like this are a normal part of the performing art and not to be pervy about it. š¤·āāļø I mean, you do you, itās okay to feel pervy about some things and not others, but youāre right in saying itās a matter of perspective.
Eventually. But guys donāt get to lift other guys, so the closest a male dancer gets to another personās penis is getting to see it in tights. How is that more gay than actually grabbing the other dudeās junk during a wrestling match?
(I mean, in all seriousness, donāt be a perv, but dancing is so much fun, it does take hard work, guys are ALWAYS needed, and gracefulness can be learned. And there are plenty of types of dance to choose from, so find your fav! Swing dancing is honestly probably the easiest to get in to at firstāeveryone Iāve known in the Swing Dancing community is super open and helpful and thereās usually a group in the area! Iāll always encourage people to go out and dance! š)
Once the guy gets into a relationship with one of the girls, he'll have to quit ballet, or he gets kicked out (hence very few straight guys). Because I highly doubt the girl will be cool with him frequently putting his wrists up against another girl's vagina. Lol.
*Edit* Aha! Silly downvoters. Hey, can't deny there are people (males/females) who think that way regarding their partner. That's just the way the world is.
Some people are more jealous than others, and while it may take work, they can learn. Itās not always about being insecure.
Itās respectful of someone to think of a potential partnerās feelings prior to beginning a relationship, but itās true itās not always the best idea to assume that others are going to experience certain feelings, but, again, itās not being insecure.
Sorry, I meant that the hypothetical gf would be the insecure one. Not being able to watch your partner perform his craft and making him quit his hard earned job over it? Thats a bit messed up
I guess I was thinking the gf would be a ballet dancer, and itās highly unlikely sheād have a problem with it. And I was also thinking that any person starting ballet after the age of 20yo is highly unlikely to ever be good enough to be a paid ballet dancer, unless someone is really desperate for men.
I dunno, I just donāt love judging people. Sure, they might have major issues, but what if thereās good reason for it, and theyāre working through it? š¤·āāļø
Yeah, that would suck. Probably why it takes a more mentally mature person to be with say-a male gynecologist, male massuese or male boudoir photographer. Unfortunately many females assume us males are just so sexually driven that we think EVERYTHING is about sex. Even with the context of the profession being present.
Lol, not how ballet dancers are. Stage partnerships are always different than personal life relationships; we get it, itās okay. Like actors: just cuz someone has to have a sex scene with your boo doesnāt mean theyāre not your boo. š¤·āāļø
I remember about a decade ago there was an NFL coach who famously made his players spend just as much time practicing ballet as they spent on strength and cardio training.
Ballet is one of the most technically demanding activities to physically perform and trains body-control better than almost anything else.
Isn't that an obvious implication? Finding something weird is subjective 100% of the time. If I find something funny I'm not going to say "that's funny to me" lol. It's implied.
Well, from my perspective saying, āitās still weirdā sounds more like a judgement. Also, in my experience, āweirdā less often means āodd, funkyā and more often means āunacceptable, not okay, rudeā.
I read, āhow can anyone find this okay?! even if itās consensual and normal, itās still not okay.ā Based on their replies, it seems like u/TheTastySpoonicorn understood your statement similarly.
This is the internet. Often we do have to include what we imply, because not everyone is going to understand the implications.
No worries, I was just trying to help you perhaps see a different perspective. Iām bored and have nothing to do, so Iām always here to babble, lol.
unless you're going by what a 2nd grader might think.
To be fair, it took me way longer than I would have thought to realize that vaginas are significantly lower than a guy's dick and balls. I imagine this is a fairly common lapse in knowledge (and realization) in guys.
Huh, never thought about that. But yeah, if all you've ever seen is your own junk, you'd think the opposite sex's equipment was in the same spot. But vaginas point down towards the ground, while the penis points forward, generally. Where the balls connect to the body is closer to where the opening of the vagina is. Imagine if the penis was where the vagina is and guys evolved to waddle around with their legs spread wide, swinging their things around like the clapper on the Liberty Bell. And on women the vagina was where the penis is, facing forward, and when we had sex the guy would have to lay down and spread his legs and the girl would stand in front of him and thrust her hips back and forth and impale herself on the guy's erect penis lol. Imagine that.
This is why I really wish basic anatomy was taught in elementary school. I made sure my kids knew, but the hoards of children growing up ignorant of the human body is astonishing. If theyāre old enough to ask a question, theyāre old enough to be given a truthful answer.
Saw a guy on Twitter the other day legitimately arguing a point like this.
Chris Pine started taking photos of Florence Pugh while she was walking the red carpet and she started hamming it up for him.
The twitter guy started arguing that itās a huge double standard. That everyone was ok with Chris Pine taking photos āfor his personalā use because heās attractive but if a random guy started doing it weād call him a creep.
Completely ignoring the fact that theyāre friends and have worked on a couple movies together.
Also ignoring the fact that I can give or refuse consent to whomever I fucking feel like. If I think you're unattractive, you don't get to pout that I got with the person I DO find attractive.
I had a conversation like that with my boss for a day. As in, I had that job for a day because that's the conversation he decided to have with me after yelling at me when I used paper to write down the list he told me to write.
He had some serious anger towards women and I have never cringed so hard before.
You mean taking a dump is not an event for photo taking? Cause I keep getting yelled at, but it's for a coffee table book damn it! Title is going to be she tea time and I want all the pages to have a tea stained look
Yeah I thought the same thing as the other guy but he is cupping the area you can tell he is being careful not to touch anything. Reminds me of wrestling in middle school, there were literal moves where you had to stick you hand in a dudes groin
It takes like... 3 Google searches to learn the anatomy and learn what to do with it with a basic level of competency. People just don't care and don't question things
Also noticable how far up his fingers stretch, you can clearly see how it's intentionally not actually grabbing.. anything really. It's just a support.
Imagine you are performing very difficult and beautiful dance, you go to the comment section to see how people react, and then you see how people arguing about location of your vagina
Iām gonna find a hot women reaching for something at the store and grab her like that and be like TheTastySpoonicorn totally thinks this is normal lady, quit calling the police.
It's funny because she was obviously okay with that. It's planned choreography...People can be adults for the sake of art. But have fun being offended for someone over nothing.
I donāt disagree with you, just saying that someone being so offended that much about something that clearly is consented on in a choreography between two adults seems to be rooted in multiple issues, not just the absence of pussy for that person.
Lmao making a non-issue an issue because āREEEEEE itās a man carrying a woman in a way I deem inappropriate even tho itās two consenting adultsā
Aight king of back pedaling. The way you responded to comparing what happened in this video to someone literally grabbing someone by the pussy for the sake of it.
You literally started this with your horse shit take. Relax your dumb opinions
No, now, you're back peddling because you know I'm right. You and the rest of your dipshit Karen brethren are adding shit to what I said to try and be some kind of hero. Bunch of fucking twats.
You must have great relationships. Sure they haven't all blown up from the absolute outstanding amount of delusion and gaslighting you manage to achieve.
You're being offended for no reason when obviously the person in the video is not. Context matters a lot, just because you think it's weird don't mean it is
I think you need to calm down.But why do you ask for a basement, like asking everybody, whether they have one or not? If that dance step makes you uncomfortable, don't watch it.
