Tell him they are male dancers.

LOL, same think happened with my OH, he cannot eat garlic, which is in a lot of moroccan food, but still thinks we ought to visit.

Why does this bother you? Would you have been happier if he said: "Now I don't want to go. Belly dancers suck!" If you did not tell him to get him interested in this meal, why did you mention it?

When I called for priority seating I told the rep. it was for 2 adults and asked if there was a "fun" place to dine.
He suggested Marrakesh.. and said they had belly dancing..

I said.. "guess I forgot to tell you we are two females and I am traveling with my 63 yr old mother." I was thinking more like...50's primetime!

My DH was pieved when at the last minute I changed our resses from Teppanyaki to Merrakesh. He wouldn't even eat the food but the Bellydancer he said saved the day for him ! Shakira could take lessons from that woman!

ROFL -- the first time we ate there, DH tried to be very considerate of my tender feelings and the moment the belly dancing started, he studiously looked down at his plate and wouldn't look at the stage. You should have seen him trying not to look toward the stage.

You could actually hear the mental monologue going on in his head, "I am eating my food, I am not looking at the belly dancer, I am dining on lamb, This is great lamb, I love it, It's the most fabulous lamb in the whole world and there is no scantily clad jiggling belly dancer to my left and I won't look at her no matter how loud the music gets and how close the jingling bells get, I won't look I won't look I won't look, DANG I looked RATS, I'm in trouble now, I can't believe I was stupid enough to look, What was I thinking, I am eating lamb I am I am I am..."

I finally said, "Hon, you can watch the belly dancer. I'm not gonna suddenly turn into a ragingly jealous fishwife after 13 years!"

So then he forgot to eat. ::: sigh ::: You can't win for losing with some guys!

That is the ONLY reason my dh is MAKING us go... That's his ADR... lol I would love to try the food because I consider my self epicurious, but the main reason we're going is so dh and dbil have someone to oogle.

I think she was being lighthearted about it.

Male Dis-er checking in. On the scale of purient pleasures, belly dancing is just below a really good pizza.

That's EXACTLY what my boyfriend does too (even when there's a nice looking girl ANYWHERE). When I asked him about it, he said "I'm shy."

 

[Corey127]

hahah same thing with my DBF...

me- how about we try the moroccan restaurant?
him-ewww, moroccan food??

me-well, they have belly dancers
him (trying to not look/sound tooo excited)- hmm ok i guess we can try it




lol, men

 

[D&R love Disney]

My DH and I love eating there and the belly dancers are fun too. The only problem, my DH wants me to get up and dance too!

 

[doombuggy3]

I am DYING from reading this thread. DBF and I just found out yesterday we're going next month...I'll suggest this resturant and see the reaction which I'm sure will be like Um...I don't think I like that food...Then when I tell him about the belly dancing show I'm sure the reaction will be different.

This was meant to be kind of a funny post...to see who else's BF or Hubby wanted to see the exotic Belly Dancers...

It's fun to watch them squirm a little, huh?

 

[ericafny]

I'm glad so many of you had similar reactions from your significant others...The funny thing is that he picked the restaurant with some hesitance...then I said, yeah it should be fun, they have belly dancers...he started to smile and was like 'yeah lets eat there'...hahaha! Men, such simple creatures

 

[jekajekalynn]

I wonder if ADR's are absolutely nessasary, or if you can just walk in a get a table?

That is so cute. Don't you just love the shy male reactions? My DH is shy but after 20 yrs of marriage he's braver and will glance. I think he was nervous she would come over to our table and bump him on the head with her hips. We just smile at each other.
