I attempted to watch a skit that another user links to. I liked the worship song in the background but the dudes jumping and dancing around looked gay to me. Am I an insensitive caveman or is that my deep south upbringing has robbed me of real artistic taste? I already know what the opposite sex has to say about it.
What do the boys say?
Am I alone in this? Can you go to the ballet or theater with your wife or GF and not catch some zzzzzzs?

What say ye?

I say those humongous bulges in the front of those tights make me feel funny... kind of like when you climb the rope in gym class.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you. I think I am pretty tolerant, but yeah stuff like that wierds me out too, and I'm from California so it's not a southern thing, it's a guy thing.

You couldn't pay me to watch a ballet with guys, but I gotta at least give some credit because it takes a lot of training. I heard someone say Rudolf Nureyev was probably stronger pound for pound and more athletic than anyone in any sport in his day. My issue is that I would rather have watched him play hockey.;)

If you don't like the ballet or the theatre, don't bother with it. Who says we need it to be cultured? I'm all for the pursuit of knowledge, but you won't find even my corpse in a ballet. Everyone's different as to how they seek more so-called refinement. I just read Prometheus Bound today, but I'm not about to go running to the theatre. Men in tights? No. A good book? Absolutely.

Now a good book, I can handle...

I agree, do you think the majority of women would agree that they could be more cultural if they would spend a day running lines or out on the range?

They seem to want us to share in the things they like but will just go shopping when we head for the woods :lol:

I don't know enough (i.e., anything) about ballet to "like" it (the dancing, that is, not the music--The Rite of Spring is one of my absolute favorite pieces of all time), but I certainly don't dislike it or feel "uncomfortable" or whatever. There are ballet sequences in West Side Story, which I get mad at people for laughing at. "No, 'real' gangs don't dance around; they also do not sing and are not accompanied by an orchestra and don't conduct gang-related activities in front of cameras and controlled lighting and aren't viewed from multiple angles and are not projections of light from a screen. You're critiquing the medium instead of the content; dance in a work for the stage is not intended to mimic reality but to communicate something to the viewer." That is what I would say to them, if I actually talked like that in real life.

Place me on the caveman side of this,I know I'm not cultured ,I can leave my house ,head toward town and go hunting before I get there,that right there is country living, not what they put in the magazine with the name Country Living

Me too!:lol:
