Do you think girls or guys like watching belly dancing more?

Girls

Guys

I answered girls because they're more into traditional belly dancing (the non sexual exploitation kind), but if we're using whatever that is in the video for the poll, that is definitely directed towards men. You're not supposed to move your arms or the upper half of your torso that much, so that's kind of belly dancing, but I wouldn't completely give it that label. Honestly most of the traditional belly dancers I've seen have either been overweight or anorexic, so they weren't very erotic to watch and the men in the audience seemed disinterested and a little irritated (probably because they were expecting something like that video).

One of my aunts got me interested in belly dancing when she came back from a European vacation that started in France and ended in Turkey. The costumes she brought back were gorgeous and extravagant

[4465loveyou5577]

Yeah, but Ironically it started out as a fertility dance performed at female only events.

[LittleSally]

I think girls...
Guys just see it as something sexual. Girls see it as a dance and expression and art... also beauty.

*Just to be clear - the woman who's dancing there doesn't seem to know much about belly dancing, more about just being sexual... which is I guess commercial, but also sad...

[4465loveyou5577]

Yeah, contrary to popular belief it was never meant to entertain men, it was a fertility dance meant to strengthen the hips and abdomen as well as make the pelvis and spine more flexible for pregnancy and childbirth. I know someone who talked about having a belly dance performance at a Bachelor party but a better place for it would be a baby shower.

Here are some other performances that I adored <3

Guys appreciate the female body more than women do in general. We're real hard on ourselves.

[4465loveyou5577]

Yeah, but we can appreciate the aesthetic beauty of our gender more than guys can with theirs. Plus, belly dancing wasn't originally meant to entertain men.

I prefer to watch women do the Hula more personally. The belly does not really do much for me. Probably cause all the girls in my highschool were always showing off their bellies with high cut shirts and micro shorts.

[martyfellow]

Generally this is a family event, and in my experience, women like it as much as men, if we're talking traditional belly dancing and not strip club stuff.

[springocelot]

i said girls
because the way it's actually done isn't sexual at all and when i lived with algerians the girls were more interested in that stuff
by the way, compared to what i've seen before
she was pretty awful

[Imafreespirit]

I have no idea, but I love belly dancing 😍 It is so much fun

[4465loveyou5577]

yeah, I started learning it. It's so euphoric and I feel so feminine doing it <3

[4465loveyou5577]

I found this dance so wonderful

I never get bored of watching that one lol

[Itsmeyay]

Belly dancing is for a certain culture to enjoy or to catch a glimpse of in a music video, I can't imagine men sitting for ours just watching belly dancing.. It's not that interesting.

[SheDevilxx]

Obviously men. I don't think girls will find their own gender dancing sexily as interesting as watching the oppersite gender

[4465loveyou5577]

Well it's actually not a "seductive" dance, it's a fertility dance.

[SheDevilxx]

still.

[xxrockmexx]

I love watching the videos. It makes me want to take a class.

[4465loveyou5577]

I started it and its hella fun <3

[Ayshea]

I enjoy belly dancing myself , and I like watching it too.

[AmiiBanii]

I love watching girls belly dance, i think it's pretty hot. I also use to do it myself.

[super147]

I don't know really. I've never found it interesting so if it's guys then I'm not one of those guys.

[iceburg-san]

Girls
The lesbians that get off to it and the girls that want to learn it probably outweigh the minority of guys that have a bellydancing fetish

[beez1717]

It's a slightly erotic form of dance so if course hetero men will love it!

[4465loveyou5577]

Yeah but it's a fertility dance, not a seductive one.

[beez1717]

I know but erotic things and fertility are linked in some ways right?

[4465loveyou5577]

Not exactly, an erotic dance is to attract a mate; the fertility dance was meant to prepare the body for pregnancy and childbirth and the motions of the dance would both strengthen the muscles of the abdomen and hips and make them more flexible preparing the body for labor and childbirth.

[beez1717]

Ah! Now I get it :). Thanks!

[Anonymous]

Men love women's bodies, and women love women's bodies...

[reixun]

I'm straight af cuz this doesn't appeal to me at all

[CyberToothTiger]

I like watching it belly dancers, awesome entertainment for me.

[Shaft50]

I can only speak for myself, and yes, that was entertaining...

[Anonymous]

I could see the appeal I wasn't aware it still existed that video is way to jumpy makes it hard to watch the movements the cameras control dude obviously was clueless and just pushing random buttons.

[Anonymous]

That music like shit and i hate arab things i hate arabs i hate that music it makes me just throw up

[Ovidiu-Nicolae]

What about twerk? striptease? :)
Who watch these stuff?

[Anonymous]

I love watching a girl with nice tits belly dance! :D

[Anonymous]

i think someone asks wayyyyyyy too much about the same topic

[Littlett25]

The beginning of that seemed like a horror film...

[4465loveyou5577]

why is that?

[Littlett25]

They kept flashing to different things of her dancing and she was giving "seductive eyes" but to me she looked scary and like she was about to murder someone lol

[peachblossomluck]

I love it! I think it's beautiful ♡

[Jan1ssary_]

Damn.. I do fo' sure.

[FrenchyRomain]

i don't like belly dance at all

[yotes-of-472]

I believe the men do.

[LastNightmare]

I'm less interested in it but I do love mujra

[archiz]

guys I guess? :P

[4465loveyou5577]

Based on experience or the poll?

[archiz]

cause guys view it as sexual
a woman moving around half naked would be usually more appreciated by guys than girls.
but I enjoy it for instance

[4465loveyou5577]

Perhaps but a common misconception is that belly-dancing is a seductive dance while it's in fact a fertility dance.

[archiz]

yea guys won t differentiate between the 2 concepts haha :p

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Sweet Jesus

[4465loveyou5577]
