> Men in general don't like to perform to music, or see no need for it, as you say "biologicaly". Women on the other hand like it, "biologicaly" as you say.

Yeah, that is why male dancers and male dancing is non-existend worldwide.

Or otherwise said, can you prove it is "biological" rather then cultural?

How many males do you know how genuienly like dancing?

You are picking a small population of males and generlizing to all of them. Most males have no interest in dancing.

Nothing wrong if you do, but most don't.

This is a view on a very specific society you may be exposed to. Some counterexamples: morris dancing where organisations were/are pushing for men-only dancing, dancing related to folk/military (see the (in)famous "Russian soldiers dancing" Twitter) and a lot of dancing-with-weapons, early Tango with male only dancing, and honestly too much African dance culture to go into here with men-specific dances. Check out the ratios in street dance event videos on YouTube. See the teenagers practicing dance moves in groups in your city. It's the reverse. The modern European population and "guys don't dance" doesn't generalise.

I grew up in an environment where boys dancing was made fun of and I didn't realise liking to dance is an option. Some exposure to the world corrected that.

Ironically enough, that is what you are doing.

There's a whole wide world (both historically and right now) of men/masculine culture beyond the weird bland repression certain parts of the West currently have going on. Even in the Western world, I don't know how one would go about telling e.g. Black American men that they have no interest in dancing.

Breakdance.

> How many males do you know how genuinely like dancing?

Quite a lot.

> Most males have no interest in dancing.

AFAICT, this "men aren't expected to want to dance" thing is an extremely recent, and fading, Western social norm, not some kind of biological fact that is culturally invariant.

[watwut]

Quite a few adults, actually? None of them did dancing in an organized club. But, that is cultural artefact too.

Also, I had to explain to my kids multiple times that laughing at or mocking boys dancing or ballet is neither fun nor ok. Obviously boys and men don't want to do things that make them be cast as effeminate or mocked.

No, that's what you're doing. Just because some men don't like dancing, no men should get the opportunity to do so? And because some women like to dance, it has to be a staple of the female version of the sport?

If it's actually about dancing, then make it a dancing event that men and women can compete in. Tons of men dance competitively. But not in gymnastics. Which actually makes sense, since it's gymnastics, not dancing. But then why are the women's events about dancing?

Most of them, that i know?

This is more cultural/social than sex/biological based.

I see you’ve never heard of the country of India among many many others.

What you are describing is machismo Americana, not men.

[gowld]

Machismo is latin, and latin machismo men dance.
