If I - a man - attend to ballet school, does that make me gay?

Question

I was told, that in ballet schools there's always a shortage of men. And there are always women. If i go there even just to interact with women in ballet (even if i personally dislike dancing, let alone ballet), does attending ballet make me gay?

i mean where and how else should i meet women? Online dating is the worst place so far. And Language clubs are not so popular.

Some guys look incredible doing ballet and there's no way those stories can be told without men. I think being a straight, male ballet dancer you should be even more proud of yourself. You're like a rare commodity or a specialist in your field bringing an experience and a background that's rare to the production.

Also 'gay' is exclusively about a way someone chooses to have sex. Unless this is a certain kind of production being a ballet dancer doesn't make you gay. Being a dancer doesn't make you gay, period. It makes you a creative inspiration. *That* is part of who you are, everything else is a choice. Guys need to see other guys like them that are happy dancing and being who they are to feel that they can do it too. I have a straight guy friend who is an amazing ballet dancing and I can't tell you the amount of times gay people he's known or has preformed with have tried to take advantage of him or convince him he's gay (often for their own amusement, because people are jerks) is astounding. He's still not and he's still dancing, now with a national touring group. You can still do the dancing and do it your way. The thing that he found most helpful was having two people (a housemate and s travelling co-worker) who he made close friends with and helped him keep his head about things, especially on tour.

Ballet school doesn’t “make you gay”... ballet is a form of art and it isn’t gender specific, even though it’s generalized as a “feminine” activity. Being gay means being attracted to the same sex... therefore, if you’re attracted to only women, you’re not gay.

I took classes for s couple of years. I was in great shape from it. Could do a split to the floor. But you went get to dance with the ladies. Pas de Deux is very advanced she I've never seen it done by non-professionals. If you want to dance with women find a swing or salsa group, or take ballroom dance classes. Do yourself a favour and don't hit on anyone for a good while. That's viewed very poorly.

It makes you a megastud surrounded by beautiful, flexible women

CoffeeWC · Answer

That doesn't make you gay. It's not weird for men to attend ballet school. But it is weird if it's only to meet women.

MarkRet · Answer

By nature, men aren't artistically inclined. That's why dancing is not as easy for men as it is for women. If you really want to try ballet to improve your posture or challenge your dancing skills, fine. If you're doing it just to get girls, it won't be long before they figure out you're just faking it, and they'll probably be disgusted with you. It might work out better if you try ballroom dancing at Arthur Murray's, or some place like that. The women still outnumber the men, and there's a lot more social interaction.

Attending a mostly female class you dislike in the hopes of meeting a woman doesn't make you gay, but it does set you up for failure. Unless you are honest about your reasoning for participating in the class early on, you are initiating a relationship without honesty. Ultimately that will lead to more lying and lay the groundwork for a fight when she finds out you despise the thing you two first bonded over. You should look for events and groups that cater to your interests. That said, I hope you'll grow to enjoy ballet and have a successful and healthy relationship.

EpicDweeb · Answer

Not at all, but it's a poor way to meet women since you will come off as fake. Most any woman who does ballet does so because they are passionate about it. If you are not then they will be offended by your lack of respect for something they care very strongly about

englisc · Answer

It doesn't make you gay, but it's typically a feminine activity. And you're only doing it to meet women. That's the wrong reason to do it, as you said you're not even into it. If you seem like you're only doing it to meet women that's gonna come off as creepy.

Like I said before you can't attract women by trying to act like a woman which it seems you're trying to do. Most women are attracted to masculinity in a man. They only tend to like feminine men as friends.

WalterBlack · Answer

I believe ballet is more difficult than it appears. I think you would be very unhappy trying to learn it unless you have a strong desire to dance. The only thing that "makes" someone gay is to be attracted to persons of the same sex. However, some people will probably question the sexual orientation of a straight man who participates in ballet.

shimmeryns · Answer

Ballet doesn't make a man gay.  If you're really passionate and like expressing yourself in artistic dance, I say go for it.

loveslongnails · Answer

Overall, it's a dumb idea. For one thing, ballet school is HARD WORK !! It's also expensive. And women will see right through you. Go to a yoga class. It's cheaper and more laid back, better odds. Either way, sounds like you have no game.

DeathrockFairy · Answer

It's not gay at all. It doesn't even have to do with sexuality. There were and are many straight male ballet dancers. I even know one who teaches class at my school. But it's best to do ballet if you actually like it, not just to meet women. Male dancers are hot because they're actually into dance.

Ballet is one of the best things you can do, as a martial artist.

Yes. Only gay guys would be in a ballet. And only gay guys would wear a kilt. (so all Scotsmen were gay) And only a gay guy would like flowers or children. And if a guy ever wears red, he is for sure gay. Any time you see a football team with bright colors, all the guys are gay. Etc.

I would think it's about how you hold yourself. I don't think all ice skating men are gay and neither are men in ballet

nerms123 · Answer

It’s kinda weird to do it just to hit on girls. It’s more giggity than gay

GlitterDragon · Answer

Ballet is just dancing. No one if forcing you to be sexually attracted to men 🙃
