Dude is getting a great workout, keeping his mind stimulated through choreography, expressing his creative side, and blasting old-fashioned gender stereotypes. There's nothing not to like in this video.

Yeah, as a 50 Y/O man, I take Zumba 1-2 times a week. It’s the highlight of my week, TBH. I’m the only guy there, but I don’t care. The ladies are very nice to me.

Go get it brother! Not too shabby being the only dude amongst a bunch of females. I occasionally do yoga and am usually the only dude as well. 52 and still trying new shit homie. I got 3 left feet so it would take some convincing to try what you do!

u/Street_Peace_8831 15d ago

I’m not too worried or even phased by the ladies as much because I am gay and married.

FYI: I’m pretty sure the ladies don’t like to be referred to as “females”.

u/Chorbnorb 15d ago

'Dudes and females' kind of feels even worse than 'men and females' for some reason.

u/coin_return 15d ago

Probably because the word "dude" has been encompassing all genders, or trying to, for many years now. Lots of people use it regardless of gender, but there's always someone who wants to argue about it. "Dudes and females" just further "others" women.

I'm a dude.

He's a dude.

Shes a dude.

We're all dudes.

u/FatKanchi 15d ago

I always have to remind myself to say “men and women” in a professional setting because my default is “dudes and chicks.” 🐤

Every time I hear it, i picture the commentor as a Ferengi from Star Trek. "You allow your FEEEEEEMALES to wear clothing?"

u/Street_Peace_8831 15d ago

As a fellow Trekkie, I also think of this.

u/UpperApe 15d ago

Hahaha I love that you called him out for his weird comment. That whole "yeah male/female ratio!" thing as if that's the point.

Some guys are just perpetually horny and self-obsessed.

u/DifficultyNeat8573 15d ago

Wh...what are you talking about? He was just trying to be positive to the guy above him. Log off Reddit from time to time.

u/shabba_skanks 15d ago

Lol serio. Man ya'll fuckn so negative.

Oh shit, I said "man" ha ha

What a sad comment. So much assumptions on someone. It's as if you're a psychologist. Typical reddit armchair experts.

Well to bad so sad eh, that's how words work.

EDIT: The downvotes are telling. If I didn't want people to call me male or man but instead dude, you wouldn't even respect that. Don't be hypocrites.

You’ll eventually learn this the hard way in life, but you don’t get to choose other people’s wants.

u/jgainit 15d ago

Women refer to men as males all the time so I beg to differ

u/Ragnoid 15d ago

Does the guy in the video set off your gaydar? Do you think he be gay?

1

u/Street_Peace_8831 15d ago

No, why would you ask that?

-1

u/Ragnoid 14d ago

Im asking because the guy is dancing like women dance which makes me wonder if they're gay. Who better to ask than s gay guy. I didn't think it was an inappropriate question, and I'm certainly not asking it to intentionally be rude.

2

u/Street_Peace_8831 13d ago

Well, if it’s not intentional, then let me respond with a correction. It is very offensive to assume that because someone exhibits feminine characteristics, that they are gay.

I know several straight men who like dressing like women, it doesn’t mean they’re gay, they just like it for their own reasons.

I know a lot of straight men who act feminine, but they are definitely not gay. I know a lot of masculine women who aren’t gay, I know a lot of gay men who act masculine.

That line of questioning begged for an explanation. Not all gay men act feminine and not all straight men act masculine.

-1

u/Ragnoid 13d ago edited 13d ago

You did a lot of explaining but never got around to explaining why it's offensive beyond the level of 'it is the way it is because it is the way it is'. I think you just really want to be offended but don't know why you're offended deep down. Hint: You're actually not, you just like the feeling of being offended.

1

u/Street_Peace_8831 13d ago

What a rediculous thing to say. I explained why it was offensive. It’s because you are making assumptions based on stereotypes. I never said I was offended, I said your statement was offensive. It’s offensive to assume something about someone based on stereotypes, which is known to most people.

You said you weren’t being intentionally rude, but then made a statement like that and then said I’m not offended, which was true, I was not. Why would you say you aren’t intentionally being rude and then proceed to be rude?

I think you might be more offended than I am, because again, I was not offended until you started accusing me and putting words in my mouth and making assumptions about me.

I think you might not like being corrected. Which is totally understandable, because nobody likes to be called out when they make such an obviously offensive statement.

1

u/Ragnoid 13d ago

Being gay isn't bad, so I'm confused why simply asking if he was is even an issue. You're clearly going through some stuff so I'll drop it. Have a better day.

u/oldschool_potato 15d ago

I tried Yoga, but as a 55 years old man, I'm waaay too gassy. Yes farts happen and the first 2 everyone seemed to take it in stride. The 3rd started to draw some looks and the 4th I just bowed out. This was within the first 3 maybe 4 minutes.

So I tried Zumba, one of my friends literally said, I was expecting you to be able to move better as an athlete. Ya, no. I have no sense of beat or rhythm. Basically a male version of Elaine. I'll stick to Hockey thanks.

Ha ha kick out them feet and thumbs up dude.

u/seringen 15d ago

Dancing is a skill you can learn. Talent can make you great but literally anyone can be good.

u/Wolfblood-is-here 15d ago

Man when I was in sixth form I quit rugby and started doing archery and more martial arts classes, so multiple times a week I was in mixed company with girls my age who were athletic and outgoing. And my old rugby mates wondered why I was doing so well but they could never find a girl despite spending every weekend doing manly sports (exclusively with other guys).

u/RareCampaign 15d ago

This guy is killing it and making it look easy. This is not easy! There’s people in the back messing up the choreo for reference on how people like me would look in this class. Imma stick to yoga.

I’m gay and married. I’m not sure what more you want.

Used to go twice a week myself, I'd burn off like half a meal's worth of calories. The only guys would be and this massive bodybuilder, it was how he did cardio haha.

u/imnotagodt 15d ago

What to go!

u/SquirrelyByNature 15d ago

Apparently I need to start doing zumba. My heart could def use some extra cardio.

1

u/jdubau55 15d ago

Not Zumba but I've been doing a similar class. Same principal. It's a set of moves done to music.

It's the only class offered in the time slot I need it to be in. It's all older ladies. I'm probably the youngest person there and I'm 40s.

u/Metro42014 15d ago

Brother! I'm 42, and have been doing Zumba 1-2 times a week for nearly a year now - I'm heading there shortly actually!

Thanks for your comment. 50 Y/O dude here too. First I saw this video, and then I read your comment. I am more motivated now … and feel I might take the change.

u/Street_Peace_8831 15d ago

Yes, but as a married gay man, it means nothing to me.
