The “sheep dance ” is likely a result of a huge amount of “happy” (Adrenaline, dopamine, Serotonin) hormones being released in the brain(or even “limerence” (see for example Physical effects section from the “limerence” article on Wikipedia)). It is a very enjoyable state which I would even try to prolongate as long as possible (meaning over the course of several encounters).
Isn’t it better to advice the male nerds to follow some of the courses on the bootcamps on how to dress or how to behave more masculine or to learn something from experts like lukeprog (for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvcuZhDWLgg or some of his other (earlier) posts on LW)
Well, sure—but other people would likely have found him more interesting. Congratulations on things having worked out for you, of course, but there are a lot of other good people who each of you could have married.
Finding good romantic partners is very probabilistic. Does increased masculinity increase a man’s expected attractiveness to a random person? I think that, for men who aren’t already very masculine, it definitely does.

If my husband had done that I likely wouldn’t have been as interested in him.
