Just be friendly, don't be flip or give the impression you are better than or superior to other people (especially females) in the group.

I'll ask you the same question as the poster that echoed that sentiment. What about it is offensive?
Would it have landed differently if it was to a female instead of a male? I have mingled with everyone (male and female) since the class started last month and made a point to try to sit with / communicate with someone new each class.
Is that too much?
Does that come across as inauthentic?
It's too late for shouldn't have said it, so should I not joke? Just dance and leave (gonna try that tomorrow. I bet people with think I AM arrogant if I don't speak).
Should I "run" from the men? Several approached me from the time I walked into the first class.
Am I being "too nice"?
Am I giving off a "vibe"? I try really hard to seem approachable to men and women.
Ugh... I'm making myself more anxious.
Knowing me, I'll be back to Netflix, playing with the dog and taking this out on the treadmill...
I'm lonely. I just want to make ONE true friend that doesn't have four legs and a tail....
