"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

This sketch was from the last episode of Saturday Night Live. It's not the best or funniest piece, so watch it if you want, or not, whatever. It just got my attention because it was about a girl giving a pickup class to other women. Even though it's with women instead of men, it's the same stuff.

The "guru" is dressed in feathers, in full "peacock" mode. She talks about using touch to attract, and negs to "throw him off his game". Can the same stuff we are taught be used on us? I think to some extent, although the differences between masculinity and femininity make certain tactics unusable. Most of this stuff will work best if the target is naïve and inexperienced, that's the real common denominator IMO.

 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Sorry if the video is now unavailable. I notice NBC is pretty aggressive in policing sites for their videos, especially newer material.

Like Sam said, the sketch isn't that great anyway, but it can probably be found by searching for "SNL pickup sketch", and possibly Melissa McCarthy.
