LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE
Pros :
⢠ You are learning something that gives you a very direct and tangible ability, one you can use as you learn it and practice on your own time, as opposed to things like salsa dancing or fly fishing, which are hard to put in hours for while your unamused roommate tries to play Xbox next to you.
⢠ Itâs relatively inexpensive, especially considering all the Rosetta Stones that are out there for the illegal downloadingâI mean purchasing, like a decent human being.
⢠ If you get good enough that your meet-up groups can include actual native speakers, this could be the opportunity to meet hot, foreign tail. And even at the beginner meetings, you are at least guaranteed a group of potential dates who have a vague interest in culture.
⢠ Learning another language provides even more justification for your already ill-advised vacation, at which you know upwards of 80 percent of your time will be spent drinking with other English speakers.
Cons :
⢠ Itâs among the least physically engaging activities you can take up, so any hopes of burning off the extra wine calories drunk at meet-ups is out the window, unless you hold your speaking groups while riding tandem bicycles.
⢠ The groups of adults learning/practicing languages are often peppered with at least a small sprinkling of creepers who are solely there to hit on people (and donât even try to mask it with a vague attempt at the language).
⢠ Come on, itâs a little nerdy.
⢠ In order to take the language-learning experience to its proper level (and to reward yourself for all the hours spent practicing), youâre eventually going to have to schlep yourself to a foreign country where itâs actually spokenâan investment that counteracts any amount of language workbooks you may have stolen off the Internet.
PARTNER DANCING
Pros :
⢠ This exercises both literal muscles and the tender emotional muscles that are flexed by having to come in constant, repeated contact with strangers.
⢠ You are learning a skill that is undoubtedly useful, as there is nothing worse than being the person at a wedding or other event that requires dancing and refusing to step on the dance floor for fear of âlooking stupid.â That person never gets laid.
YOUR STANDARD CREEPER
⢠Being able to dance will help you in your seduction of potential mates when youâre out and about, since nothing is sexier than someone who can do a dance that doesnât involve having a set of genitals rhythmically grind against your lower back.
⢠ Your butt will look like two scoops of butter pecan ice cream in your clingy dance clothes if you stick religiously to your practice regimen.
Cons :
⢠ You have to dance in front of actual people, and since you are going to see them on a regular basis, you canât just humiliate yourself willy-nilly.
⢠ Sweaty dance trolls who are there solely to foist themselves on unsuspecting students lurk in the corner of every dance hall, and you may be forced to come in contact with them during the partner-rotating portion of the lesson.
⢠ Possible financial investment in dancing shoes so youâre not the âguy wearing running shoes at the dance lesson.â
⢠ As soon as you make it known that you have taken up partner dancing to any degree, you are automatically labeled âdancing person,â who is expected to âbust out movesâ at any and all occasions, even if you are severely unprepared to show off the things youâve learned. âCome on, twirl me aroundâ will be thenew mantra of everyone who has consumed more than one and a half beers within ten feet of you.
