Behold, what may be the most hilarious Pickup Artist video ever. In it, someone calling himself Skills shows the fellas how to “open” ladies wordlessly, using only the seductive power of their sexy, sexy dancing. And not just one kind of dancing: Skills demonstrates smooth moves for all sorts of dances, from Disco to Latin to Booty to Rock ‘n’ Roll. (Today I Learned that “Take on Me” by A-ha is the untimate hard-rocking Rock ‘n” Roll number.) Apparently most styles of dancing require men to stare relentlessly at their partners’ breasts and general breast area.
Oddly, the woman Skills has seduced hired to appear in his video does not appear all that impressed with Skills’ skills. MISANDRY!
Oh, and WAIT! Before watching this, make sure that “annotations” are turned on. Otherwise you will not be able to fully appreciate the subtleties of Skills’ teachings.
I stole this video from the excellent PUA.txt Twitter account, featuring nothing but authentic wisdom from the PUA sector.
I like his tip that was basically, “If you want to learn a new dance, search on Youtube for tutorials!” Are the people he made that video for really so lacking in common sense that they wouldn’t think to do that on their own?
I also like how it appeared that the only time the woman in the video lost her bored expression was when he put his “booty music” moves on her, at which point she began to laugh. Yes, bored dancing lady, I would laugh too (and did).
I actually really needed a laugh today, so this was refreshing. Between reading the Stuebenville rape apologia and the fact that I fell yesterday and injured my knee (hopefully not seriously, I head to the orthopedic specialist on Thursday) so am sitting around with an ice pack on it and nothing to do, I am one unhappy lady.
AK: I hope your knee is nothing serious. Knee injuries suck.
melody –
“Luckily the place I like doesn’t mind kicking out male patrons that
can’twon’t control themselves.”AK, I really hope your knee heals up okay! I have chronic knee pain (not related to a fall, I hasten to add) and seconding what hellkell said, it sucks majorly.
I want new legs. Actually just replacing everything from the waist down would be good.
@AK
I am sorry about your knee. Best of luck at your appointment.
My favorite parts of the videos were when the guy had to adjust his moves because he was too close to the woman to be doing them. Dude, just move back! You don’t need to be so close!
That poor woman looks so bored. Also, the grinding your own ass into her crotch move? Better be careful that she doesn’t get bored and walk off, leaving you looking like someone who just tried to throw a lacrosse ball overhead and had it fall out of your net and land behind you instead.
Way to counter the arse-push: “EW DID YOU JUST FART?” or “HEY IF YOU NEED TO USE THE DUNNY, JUST GO” (loudly enough to be heard, of course).
Comments while watching video:
video: do not ask women to dance, assume the close
True story, once, some kid who’d been relatively buggy to me all year in 6th grade walked up to me, grabbed me and said ‘lets dance.’ I punched him. He didn’t bother talking to me again. So, try this on me, and you’ll draw back a stump.
wow that video sounded funny (albeit unintentionally) in theory, creepy in practice.
Seriously, the only “opening” that twit is going to get is women yawning at his terrible, boring dancing or laughing at his transparent efforts and inflated ego.
Now if you want a really cool dancin’ dude, check out Tim Brooke-Taylor’s efforts in Saturday Night Grease. Check the bit where Graham is teaching him disco moves at about 9.00 minutes in. (Mildly NSFW at the start of the show when Tim’s getting dressed.)

@The Kitteh
I contemplated writing a correction, but I hate to double post.
@SaltPickles
gu…ew. Hugs if you want them.
@AK
ouch. I hope your knee is okay 🙁
Thanks for the good wishes, guys. What’s scaring me is that I tore my meniscus in my other knee a few years ago (I fell off a horse for that one…gotta watch those falls) and this feels very similar. Mr. AK majored in physical education in college with an emphasis on rehab, and he assures me that I can’t tell what’s injured by how it feels, so I’m hoping that’s the case (and trying to ignore the fact that he got his master’s in another subject and has been working in an entirely different field for the last 20 years or so…
Sorry for the whining, I don’t have too many outlets for it. 😉
Also…I mean obviously I can tell that it is my knee that is injured. I mean I can’t tell what specifically is injured among all the tendons and ligaments and cartilage, or how severe the injury is, according to Mr. AK. In case that didn’t make sense. 😉
LOL. Memories of gym class, I never did get the hang of lacrosse.
melody – if the blockquote monster doesn’t get ya, the typo/double post twins will! 😉
AK – oh feck, a friend of mine had a damaged meniscus a coupla years ago and I know how painful it was for her getting around. Fingers crossed you haven’t torn it!
Excellent
@AK
well, good wishes on your knee again. Hope everything turns out fine. And I don’t see anything wrong with whining here. 😉 (provided you aren’t one of the trolls, but all they do is whine/ spew shit, I meant when you post normally but occasionally have to vent. Idk I’m rambling. Anyhows, I hope you’re okay 🙂 )
Marie, that’s it – trolls whine. Us regulars vent. (Yes AK I’m including you as a regular!) 🙂
Besides which (oh hai double post) being worried about a real problem, eg. a potential torn meniscus, =/= whining cos one’s boner isn’t being catered to 24/7, which is what the trolls’ whining boils down to.
This guy dances like me, but with less Carameldansen and flailing and more ignoring of boundaries.
@kittehs
yup.
Also, can I be a regular too? *makes puppy eyes* Or am I still too new for that? XD
@some gal,
The privilege these idiots presume is breathtaking. I am sorry a cluelessly entitled prat ruined your evening….look kitty pictures.
I haven’t been in a club since the early 1980s (Atomic Dog was on the playlists.) I don’t remember this behavior, but I prefered a small club I found with a 50/50 mix of women and men, most of them past college age, so maybe I was just lucky to find a friendly club.
The one night I was there and a group of college aged men showed up, changing the women to men ratio, the tenor of the club changed toward the negative. So perhaps it was the ratio, with enough women in the club on an average night for them to to feel comfortable and safe.
kamilla1960, was that first video showing the invention of the mosh pit?
AK, hope your knee gets better!
Marie, rats, I shoulda made it clear I reckon you’re a regular!
Besides, you have the most inventive lego/cactus curses evah.
