Where is the romance?

There is something that has been on my mind for a while so I thought that I would blog about it.  Why isn't slow dancing done in dance clubs anymore?  Not long ago it was still very popular.  I remember frequenting my favorite club at Michigan State University, Sparty's, until 2000 and they played 2-3 slow songs every hour or so.  When did slow dancing and romance become so uncool in today's society?  The clubs today that actually play music that is decent enough to dance to is full of empty, shallow, and slutty men and women.  They don't want to find a boyfriend/girlfriend, they just want to get laid.  Hell, the dancing these days is just dry humping.  I may be a hopeless romantic, but slow dancing is fun and it is a very romantic way to spend a night.  Now it seems that you have to be invited to a wedding in order to slow dance with your significant other.  Slow dancing also was a time to dance with someone you have wanted to meet during an evening and you could even talk to the person.  Talk to a person of the other sex at a club?  What is that?  The music is usually too loud that you cannot talk to anyone at the club.  Let's just face it, people don't go to dance clubs to find someone to date.  Dance clubs are just a glorified slave auction block to show off your goods to find someone to go home for one night so you can feel good about your self for a day or two.  The single girls that frequent dance clubs, ecspecially the ones that try too hard and barely wear anything, are the kind of girls that boys want to screw or maybe date for a short while but they rarely marry them.  Have you ever heard of a toast at a wedding reception where the best man said "I remember when Johnny met Carol at the dance club.  They freaked all night and it was love after the first time they had sex...".  Of course there are some men that just want a trophy wife and you can spot them when you meet their wives right away.  They are a fantasy.  Men usually date the girls that they can have conversations with and can enjoy life with.  All of the married people I know did not meet the one they married at a club.  A lot of them were introduced by mutual friends, met at school (Eric and I), or met at a club meeting or worked together.  Just an observation.  Who knows, there could be a few people that met this way and are blissfully happy.  I just think that this speaks to where our society is at.  Our children look up to movie stars and singers, not authors or firefighters.  We are obsessed with celebrities, big cars, electronics, and high fashion.  None of that means a damn thing if you do not have someone you love to share that with.  From some of my friends that I have talked to it is hard to date in this day and age but I hope that no one gives up because it is worth the wait!!  Single men and women, don't overlook the less than perfect looking people because you may have met that one person for you and lost them forever.  Don't think that just because a girl is chubby and shy that she is not good in bed.  They are the best and naughtiest in bed :)  Tee hee...........
