Don't count on them making any more sense than the last time since I obviously wasn't being clear. I also have a bad habit of rambling, which confuses things further. I'll try to keep it short, maybe that'll help keep me from muddying the waters...
As for "Stupid Male Tricks" I see (male) dancers doing.
Athleticism. 1001 different butt "shimmies". Angular posture (consistantly). Ripping their shirt off midway through their performance (!). Coming on stage with veil(s) and proceeding to beat the poor thing(s) into submission. Prancing around without doing much dancing. Good technique, but no soul. Granted, some of these are just bad dancing, having nothing to do with male/female - but I see more males doing it and "getting away with it". Or sometimes its just attitude. Its one of those "I know it when I see it" things sometimes.
As for Amir - I'd have to go back to watch his video again, but as I recall he looked pretty good. His costuming isn't my thing (and that's OK), but I do remember liking his dancing. What Chryssanthi Sahar says is utter truth, overanalyzing ruins the experience. "Eyes of a child" and all that. I agree.
