Richard Feynman. What do you care what other people think? (№ 297643)

... I thought girls had a lot heavier than you guys. In those days girls couldn't ask to cut in and dance with boys; it was "indecent". So not too pretty girls would sit on the sidelines and missed. I thought, "Boys are easier: they can Wade in when they want". But you were not. You "can" but you don't have the courage, reason or whatever it is that you need to relax and get dancing pleasure. Instead, you just tie in a knot worrying about how to drive a wedge into the crowd or to ask a girl to dance with you.
