She deserves better.

You don't know that. She could be Theresa May.

 

[tonysidaway]

You don't necessarily have to act on your attractions.

And I would agree that sometimes a partner who continually shows a need to engage with people outside the relationship in a sexually charged context, _may_ not be getting all that they expect from that relationship. This is why, despite having been happily married for longer, probably, than most Gaffers have been alive, I don't think strict monogamy is necessarily very healthy.

I don't know what it's like to feel a corrosive jealousy, and from what I've seen that kind of very deep emotion isn't easy to manage within a relationship. I think mutual respect and common decency are very important, and if you both have that then maybe the jealousy is mitigated.

OP's girl when hes on the dancefloor and when hes off the dancefloor

yo like real talk

i still do not know how to correctly receive twerk

 

[Sai-kun]

I take it that you're the kinda guy who will put up with literally anything because he's happy just to have a girlfriend, huh?

hahah the projection here is insane

 

[Gravy Boat]

If I’m drunk and see another guy dancing with my girlfriend I usually start grinding against him to weird him out.

 

[Earthbound64]

hahah the projection here is insane

All because I verified his own statement that he was exhibiting toxic masculinity.
The irony is insane as well.

Lol what if he starts grinding back😂

It’s happened before, I just go with it until the joke stops being funny.

She twerks on a fourth count, you kinda grind to the half count and maintain butt to dick contact (you can 2 step a bit or dip shuffle too). But I'm from New Orleans where twerking is a 20+ year activity and it is taken very seriously. YMMV depending on the ability of the twerker.

Edit: Might be an 8th and a 4th, shit, I don't know. I can't read music. Just...grind to every other beat that she's popping to lol

 

[Omegasquash]

hahah the projection here is insane

Right but man you never know what can happen.

I mean, when I was at the airport with my girl we hit up the bar past security and some dude had the audacity to buy a drink and have it sent to her when I was right there.

Then all of a sudden she left me outright, went over to him and ducked underneath his table and blew him like, right there. Then she went on a week long vacation with him, got knocked up, and here I am raising his kid.

All because I didn't like, pee on her to mark my territory of something.

This sort of thing happens. It's really real life. It can happen to you too, OP.











Or OP is over reacting a bit. Cool off. The way you handle these kinds of things can make you look better or worse. This...ain't gonna end with you looking better unless you shrug it off.

 

[Sai-kun]

Lol what if he starts grinding back😂

Then you're on track to have a good night :100:

I'm dead.

 

[FranF]

Sounds like your culture has some serious problems with toxic masculinity, then.

Is there a buzzword for the female version of this? Like how one of my buddies had to have a shitty bachelor party since his fiance/wife gets jealous.

"Toxic masculinity" is comparing a man being upset with his girlfriend dancing with a stranger for 20 seconds to a woman feeling jealous about her fiancé paying to be surrounded by naked strippers

I mean I probably would feel some kind of way if I were the OP, but, perspective.

what the fuck

Exactly.

 

[Earthbound64]

"Toxic masculinity" is comparing a man being upset with his girlfriend dancing with a stranger for 20 seconds to a woman feeling jealous about her fiancée paying to be surrounded by naked strippers

That's one of many ways to give examples of it.

Another is the idea that a guy should be upset/jealous with his girlfriend dancing with a stranger for 20 seconds at all to begin with.
That very notion is toxic masculinity, without needing to compare it to anything else.


P.S. "a woman feeling jealous about her fiancée paying to be surrounded by naked strippers" - what does what two women who are engaged to each other have to do with masculinity?
That is, fiancée is a female, fiancé is a male.

 

[Gravy Boat]

I wonder how OP (or those who see it as a sign o disrespect) feel about their girlfriends going out to clubs without them. Can you really trust them to do that if dancing with someone for 20 seconds is a break-upable offence?

 

[Exploratory]

People are saying you're overreacting and you probably are.

But if she's ever consistently dancing with other dudes when you go out even when drunk that's a problem.

I've literally never had a girl I was with dance with other dudes while we're out. That doesn't make any sense to me.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Is all you can do when you are getting twerked on.

 

[LordKasual]

Edit: Might be an 8th and a 4th, shit, I don't know. I can't read music. Just...grind to every other beat that she's popping to lol

I live in Atlanta, so the average skill level may vary widely depending on where you are. see the issue is that i'm relatively tall. so most girls will initiate the twerk, but basically be grinding on my thighs, which only contains a fraction of my 12" Gaffian phallice

Which means I have to actually change how I stand, which isn't easy, since there's already so much space as it is

Which is just made even more difficult by the girl herself...you know, the one who just wants to throw her hair back and go crazy, vs. the one that will try for a while until she realizes she's bad at it and will just switch to something else, vs. the girl who's literally trying to knock you off balance with her ass, which is surprisingly easy to do considering my high center of gravity

its a science lol

edit:

oh and when they are REALLY into it and start feeling themselves, they'll start tryna do fancy shit like dipping to the ground or whatever. Now the effort is indeed sexy, but now you're literally approaching my knees and even if I were dipping down to reach you all bets are off now and i just have to wait for you

So what, you can't be annoyed at your girlfriend for grinding up on someone else? That's idiotic.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

If that makes me toxic, then so be it. If not being ok with my partner dancing with other men is a sign of masculinity, then I'm the manliest guy there is. That shit isn't ok, and if you're cool with your girl dancing with other men, then I wish you two all the best of luck in the future.

Again, would you dance with other women in front of your girlfriend?

Ton of assumptions in this post:

1) that I called you toxic (I didn't)

2) that 'manly' is somehow laudable or immediately worth respecting

3) that your definition of what's acceptable matters

4) that I'm straight (I'm bi, so I could have a straight or gay relationship)

5) that I'm currently dating anyone

6) that you think I'm insecure enough to be with someone who overreacts to simple dancing the way you and the OP do

 

[tonysidaway]

Club grinding is sexual, even if it's also just fun, (I assume that's what the OP was talking about, the kind of dance where you're basically rubbing up against each other with clothes on.)

Yes, I agree that this would be very unusual and perhaps even disturbing behaviour if not already mutually understood as part of the licence within the relationship. Although there have been a lot of animated images of such behaviour, though, I don't believe this is the behaviour under discussion by the original poster. Although the girlfriend's behaviour was disturbing to the poster in the context of his expectations when she's sober, it doesn't sound so egregious. It's dancing.

 

[FZZ]

So dancing like dancing? Or she grinding her ass on some other dudes dick

 

[JWiLL]

Glorious thread. Did OP ever clarify "how" his girl was dancing?

Like...was it "feel some dick" style grinding? Or was she just playfully dancing with some dude for 20 seconds?

Also don't see a huge deal if everyone was just drunk having a good time and the dancing was the end of it. If she talked with them after, or disappeared after for awhile, then I could see it being worrisome.

 

[EmptyCanO'wupass]

I've literally never had a girl I was with dance with other dudes while we're out. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Some people enjoy dancing with a variety of people for the fun of dancing. I don’t get this attitude that dancing with someone inherently signals romantic or sexual interest. Maybe that’s the only reason some of you dance, but don’t project that on others.

I love dancing, and dance in physically intimate ways with a lot of people when I go out, but I don’t want to fuck every person I dance with. It’s just a way to socialize.

OP needs to lighten up and realize not everything his girlfriend does while out is about him, nor is it a signal of interest in someone else.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Two step, and move your hips. The woman is driving in that scenario.

Oh wow, you know what? I'm only 5 foot 8 so I have never really had that problem or really thought about the dynamic. Yeah, I can see where that would lead to a disconnect, sure. I suppose it's as awkward as when I danced with a lady who was several inches taller than me. I was able to tippy-toe that shit but just barely lol. Good luck to you tho!

Yep, you're right. Sounds just like Mario and Peach indeed.

 

[Omegasquash]

Now I'm going to be thinking about grinding whenever I hear any music from a Super Mario Bros. game.

 

[TaterTots]

Why aren't you dancing with random woman? Capitalize on that situation.

I second this. Dance with someone outside of your group and see if she takes notice. If not, enjoy it, but if it bothers you that much, you can move on. You sound pretty young. No loss.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

What the cuck is this thread?

 

[Waylon Drums]

It's funny how quickly someone can lose me when they use the term "cuck"

 

[tonysidaway]

So dancing like dancing? Or she grinding her ass on some other dudes dick

When asked to describe the style of dancing in game terms, he said "Like Just Dance 3 but grabbing their arm." According to Amazon that game is rated "age 3 and over."

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Would your partner be angry if you did the exact same thing OP? Therein lies your answer.

 

[nynt9]

Next time she dances with someone ask if you could use the phone briefly to call someone saying your battery is dead, then call yourself. Now you know who they are and you can track them down.

lmao wtf...

Overreacting OP. Shes just dancing man, chill. Unless that shit was like grinding, then fuck that. I would be mad too lol

 

[Vicetrailia]

OP your erxprience would give me the incentive to seek out other females and dance with them. I'd probably lose any important feelings for her though, and would enjoy the ride of seeking out her and other women for romance. Firstly though I would shut that down, but if persisted then oh well.

Unless I was in a very long-term relationship/married, then the dynamic change, I've seen things, lol.

 

[Crankshaft]

Was alcohol involved? Were inhibitions dropped?

 

[Inferno313]

When bae and I go out, we both occasionally dance with others. Especially in a social group setting. Some of y'all are wound way too fucking tight. It's just dancing.

I've seen this kind of horrible attitude turn to domestic violence so often it's not even funny.

 

[LucidMomentum]

I've seen this kind of horrible attitude turn to domestic violence so often it's not even funny.

Hence why it's called toxic masculinity.

Lots of insecure people can't handle it and don't admit that they can't handle it because of their insecurities, so they call it "manliness".

 

[Chmpocalypse]

I've seen this kind of horrible attitude turn to domestic violence so often it's not even funny.
