That white-man’s overbite move getting you  nowhere, fellas?

There’s a scientific explanation for why, and, happily, a scientific solution.

Research by psychologists at Northumbria University in England reveals which dance moves, in particular, make men sexy to women.

The enduring mystery of why men rarely flatter themselves when they take to the dancefloor may finally have been solved.

A team of psychologists used video footage of men strutting their stuff to pinpoint the killer moves that separate good dancers from bad.

Men who were judged to be good dancers had a varied repertoire and more moves that involved tilting and twisting the torso and neck.

But the majority of men displayed highly repetitive moves that used their arms and legs, but not the rest of their bodies.

“It’s rare that someone is described as a good dancer if they are flinging their arms about but not much else,” said Nick Neave, a psychologist at the University of Northumbria, who led the study….

“The head, neck and upper body come out as the key features that are important for good dancing and that surprised us,” said Neave, whose study is published in the journal Biology Letters. “When you see brilliant dancers, you’ll see their bodies, heads and necks are all doing ever so slightly different things in time to the music.”
