"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
