Grinding

US has a grinding culture. I've went to
Toad's once for a dance party and first thing I
noticed was the undergrad's grinding each
other's asses off all over the dance floor, sometimes
in very artistic configurations involving substantially
more than two people.

Now, where I grew up, we learned to
1) Get eye contact with the girl
2) Get eye contact with the girl (again)
3) casually approach her
4) if in bar, then talk with her
5) if at dance floor, then dance with her
6) dancing means "looking each other
in the eyes while performing face-to-face
motions with entire body, not just ass, but
including e.g. legs.

But now I learned that here, you must
1) Pick a victim
2) grind yourself against victim's ass
3) look innocent and/or casually naughty
when girl turns her head to check you out
4) if she stays, grind again
5) if she still stays, you're set
6) if she leaves, grind against her girl friend

I wouldn't consider myself tight-up, but I find
this grinding thing slightly vulgar. Also,
in Scandinavia* we either dance or have sex,
we don't try the hopelessly absurd and
attempt to do both simultanously.

I mean, it's either or. Not "and". Boolean
logic doesn't apply to the monumental quest
of mating.


* I say "Scandinavia", because I did
my ph.d. in Sweden although I am Danish and
I feel strongly affiliated with my brother
country which we fought violently through
some 1000 years of history starting in the
viking age.
