Why do men die young(er) than women? There are lots of reasons. One of those reasons is “It’s Always the Man’s Fault.” That is especially true in social dancing, not only because that is chivalrous, but also because the man is in charge (he leads, she follows). In fact, it is one of the few times that a woman has to do exactly what a man tells her to do. But that causes a lot of stress and strain of leading. We have heard dance teachers opine that it takes a man four times as long as a woman to learn a dance figure.
