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.
Purpple Whiner is one of those guys who you read his comments and then go…so? Is there a point, or do you just enjoy arguing with people in the most boring way possible?
this is one of those lines people say that make it sound like they don’t talk to other people much, and purple star, on you it sounds creepy, not adorkable.
Also, I can’t dance, and thusfore have no desire for a partner who can dance. Unless it was (forgot what you call those greek dances you do in a line together) cuz I used to know one or two and feel like I should cuz I’m part greek and for memories. Or dancing to jazz or swing music(which I do poorly), but both of these are things I do w/ my dad, and therefore more just fun and not romantic/ sexy to me. Well, I’m hoping fun is romantic. But daddy feels aren’t going to make me want to get in your pants.
/rambles at troll.
I read his comments and then immediately forget them.
LOL at purplewhiner who doesn’t get the point, ever – just illustrates it.
I can’t dance either, Marie, but I kind of like those group dances, most recently at an Algerian wedding I was at. That was kind of a hoot, even though I was totally awkward and klutzy (per usual).
Purple was here? If his comments were animate, they’d be disposable… like diapers.
When straight women dance in a group at clubs it’s totally about sex. In fact, that’s why some straight women like going to gay clubs when they want to dance, because of all the hot sex they’re sure to get there.
@cloudiah
me too. I find dancing fun, just suck at it, and like I said earlier, the only person I do it much w/ is my dad. So I guess the purple prick wins in that it’s not a terrible activity, but I’m thinking of situations where everyone is actually enjoying each other and treating each other like people, which doesn’t seem to be a priority for the puas. 😛 What I really like is seeing people who are good at dancing dance, especially those line ones I mentioned, a festival our church had had people line dance sometimes and it looked pretty cool, but sadly I stopped going to our church cuz it’s full of homophobic, slut shaming jerks.
As far as dancing is concerned, for me it’s just about having fun, which includes copious amounts of making fun of myself. It generally does not include creepy creepers (shaming language!) trying to cop a feel.
I stopped dancing at clubs when grinding became a thing. No, random stranger, I don’t want to feel your erection rubbing up against my ass unless I’ve specifically indicated an interest in that.
This why I usually go to gay clubs when I want to dance. Even in straight clubs, Mr. HK’s presence hasn’t been a deterrent.
And can we talk about the ways in which that’s about race? Maybe this isn’t the right thread for it, but seriously, ugh.
Only times I’ve danced in public were at the two-three Goth balls I went to in the 90s, and that was dancing with girlfriends. No flinging oneself about there, the costumes were too heavy. Other than that, I dance at Home, and it’s all about fun of whatever sort. Creeps and uninvited crotch-grinders don’t exist.
Do you mean Mr. HK not deterring these yahoos? His presence only works if the other guys are Mexican, because they think Mr. HK is.
I’ve missed something – what’s about race?
*confused*
Yep, though I was thinking it would be because people were reading him as Asian. Since I’ve now seen the usual deterrent effect vanish with an Asian man/ white woman couple happen on two different continents with two different male partners, I’m pretty sure there’s a pattern, and that it’s all about racism.
@CassandraSays
If erections were some horrible thing women inflict on men or the gigantic embarrassment that some if the MRAs have declared them to be, that wouldn’t be a problem as the erect men would keep it to themselves. (Honestly, sometimes I think the MRAs assume that women and other men have as little contact and/or understanding of men as MRAs have with women.)
@ Kittehs
Hellkell and I are both white women who’re married to Asian men. A long time ago, when I was in my late teens, I had another Asian boyfriend (in London) and observed exactly the same thing as far as how other men responded to him being with me in public spaces.
Oh, gotcha!
And ewww …
Cassandra: totally. If he gets read as Asian by a white dude, it’s like he’s not seen as an obstacle. Which he should be–he may be short and have a very long fuse, but he’s a former recon Marine, and could destroy these fools.
It’s weird here in TX. The Mexican guys back off because like I said they think he’s Hispanic, or they think he’s Manny Pacquiao (I am so not making that up).
I used to have a lot of blond in my hair or bleach it entirely, but stopped doing that here, because the eye-fucking got to be too much. Way too much.
The funny thing is that I can remember the glance over and then the “no need to worry about that guy, act like he’s not even there” happen with two other male friends who’re Asian here, and in both cases the guys should have seen them as a threat – one is a professional bodyguard and a martial arts expert, and the other is 6ft2. But nope, they both got the glance, the obvious dismissal, and then the attempt to just kind of move right past them.
Racism is a hell of a drug.
Cassandra; Have you ever gotten shit for your relationship from some pasty white tech dude, even though said white dude fetishizes Asian women? Good times. Like you’ve rejected him personally.
Oh yeah. I used to work in the tech industry, and I got to hear all about how unfair it was and why would I want a guy who was Asian anyway.
NO DUDE YOU ARE RUINING IT!
Sorry, but I love to dance and since doing nine years of ballet I’m pretty good at it. I do dance with random people, usually girls, but in a “jump up and down being excited and show off your silliest dance moves” way. No touchy. But when guys act like entitled assholes, women either close ranks or stay home and make the world less fun for everyone.
Yeah, just to be clear, friendly guy approaches me in non-sleazy way and wants to dance together? Sure! But if you think that women can’t tell the difference between that and what the dumbass in the video is attempting…lol.
