This woman has been interested in the guy with whom I had the exchange, and he didn't reciprocate her interest, so hearing that probably didn't feel very good.
What have I learned? To come, dance and leave. This group of people don't get me and would rather talk about me than get to know me. That's not my idea of community, and I can't be the proverbial chameleon. Onward and upward... in SILENCE.

I don’t think you’re getting it. Plainly, as said before, you sound very conceited (your “joke”) and you’re choosing to blame it on something else, stating you’ll dance and leave or talking about wearing baggy sweaters. Have you had problems “reading the room” before or misinterpreting social situations before? You seem to react in extremes, where either you saying something inappropriate (calling it a joke) or clamming up. There IS a middle ground.
