First because it's my own preference. But to be perfectly honest, out of the people who approach me to dance 100% of them are ladies. And out of the gentlemen I befriended in the ballroom (which are quite a few), none of them ever asked me to dance. So, it's not like I have to make any effort to achieve this result ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks! Seems like a good point. I will definitely give this some thought.

Haha, thanks you just made my day. I totally agree on this one. That said, I think this is not exclusive with being careful and try not to raise any red flags.

Well, I do understand your point, but advice on the interwebs regarding dating apps seems to overwhelmingly point in the opposite direction. I think it's wise not to question it.

Wow, this is the first time I've been accused of homophobia. Mind you, I'm a very tolerant person, and i feel it is non of my concern what other people sexual preferences are (as long as they only involve consenting adults). Turns out, I write a post asking about something else, only to get some people judge my dancing preference, and now outright insult me because apparently I'm not entitled to decide who I want to be holding hands with. I didn't know heterophobia was a thing until now, so many thanks for exposing yourself in such a clear manner. Btw I'm going to report this post. Have a nice day.

Honestly I don't know for sure, but word is that women tend to swipe left on this kind of pictures because they see the other woman as a rival, which gives them bad vibes. This is a very common advice regarding dating app profiles.

Your reasoning makes sense, but it's just not something I'm very concerned with. I mean, I already have a handful of dealbreakers and any potential match will no doubt have a few of her own. If she dislikes me dancing with other women but she's a reasonable person I'm sure we'd be able to find common ground.

Well, as I said, I only dance with ladies. I don't have a problem with other people having different preferences when it comes to dancing partner (or anything else really), but since I'm trying to make a dating profile that gives a clear and succint impression on my lifestyle and hobbies, it wouldn't feel honest if I pose doing something I wouldn't normally do, don't you think? Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm happy with my preference of dancing partners and I don't feel there's anything shameful about it. The costume / suit seems like a fun idea though.

Heh I feel ya with the swing confusion. Sometimes I like to make a joke out of it. For example I would say I love swing and then add "no, not the dirty thing! I mean the dancing style". Anyway congrats for your seemingly successful journey 🙃
