Meeting a French lady living in Cairo, visiting my hostel.
She seems to have danced tango but stopped because she rarely got invited.
Her friend, my host, tells me that one day he wants to learn how to dance tango.
I ask him why not starting right now.
I show him how he can move me with the connection I provide and invite the French lady, to show him how that works while dancing.
Soon we move as 1 body on 4 legs leaving the viewers impressed.
She decides to join me for the milonga that night and on the way I tell her how an Egyptian taxi driver once told me that the reason why cars endlessly honk their horns is the women being so stupid that they would get hit if they wouldn't.
As there isn't any facilities in Egypt, to cross the streets full of cars, I can imagine that women would be the first in taking charge solving this problem by raising their hand, entering the moving mass of cars.
Hearing that, she decides to take me by my arm and right after my last words “I don't want to die yet,”
she guides me safely to the other side.
Although she doesn't know where to go, she walks in front of me most of the time, admitting that she might be trying to prove her independence.
Unfortunately, taking charge like that, kept her from connecting with me this time and leading me didn't seem to be an option for dancing either.
Same story for most other, younger, women I danced with.
Women in general don’t seem to be interested meeting anyone outside their comfort zone and specially the ones wearing burkas were the least social.
Apart from all the aggression on the streets, most men, however, appear to be very open minded.
Probably supported by the fact that they don’t drink alcohol.
Even the ones that seem to dislike me as a tourist start smiling when I greet them and some of them even happily accept my invitation for dancing.
