The Fresh Meat Principle

Recently I convinced one of my friends to go Salsa dancing on the beginners night, alone. I was operating on five years of observations which I would formalize below as the "Fresh Meat Principle."

The Fresh Meat Principle

Given any x such that

• x is female,


• x measures between 5'0'' and 5'4'',


• x is of medium to athletic build, and


• x is wearing flat practical non-salsa shoes

There will be a y such that

• y is male,


• y is aged between 25 and 45,


• y is a reformed geek, and




• either y is mid intermediate to mid advanced or


• y is interested in becoming a salsa instructor

In any w such that

• w is a beginner salsa night or


• w is an intermediate salsa night

Then y will monopolize x the entire evening in w.

I'm very happy to say the Fresh Meat Principle was upheld in a recent study.
