As a female I notice guys that are dressed nice. A lot of guys don't know how to dress themselves therefore a well-dressed guy DOES stand out. You dont need to "peacock" to be noticed. A girl wont want to be seen with a guy who dresses weird because that makes her look weird.

I think their is a fine line between wearing something that shows you dont give a fuck and wearing something that shows that you are trying to stand out. You want to show the first without giving off the impression that you are trying to stick out.

i thought the whole purpose of peacocking IS TO STANDOUT and convey personality?

sometimes its not even couscious, i've seen this one asian dude with like three holes in one of his ears and a huge bronze ring in each and it all goes along with his looks, his personality and makes him look so BADASS. I do not if hes even doing that peacocking on purpose or if it really just is a part of his personality expressed flamboyantly.

but then I thought, if I did the same thing, I would look like a douchebag. its not my style.

its like men earring, when manly or clearly non-gay people does it, its heterosexual sex appeal. But when the feminine guys does it, people assume they are gay.

wow this comment really helps

i've thinking about peacocking and trying out different things for 2 month, and ive been having some sort of realization along these lines but never clearly organized. into words. and now u have just opened my mind. thanks a lot.

There are a million different theories as to why peacocking works / not works.

Mainly peacocking can smooth over the gaps in your game until you get them under control.

Very much like putting a false car alarm system in your ferrari. It works until you need it.

Damn your amazing analogies hehehe but yup a good point. I see it in most cases as a MM technique to fake it till you make it (I think thats the saying hehe) but yar it shows confidence etc etc so can body language etc etc

Time to try and muster an analogy

I see different elements of pick up as instruments in a song, a bass guitar could play the bass or a synth and you can layer as much a you like but why bother if you can get a good song with one instrument (wow that is an abstract one).

Basically confidence is covered by tonality, clothes, body language, how sociable you are and other bits but you can happily take away one or two of these elements and it still work and have confidence covered (eg a PUA with a lisp, everything about him would be confidence except maybe his voice but he wouldn't care so it wouldn't matter)

k I'm gonna stop now tired ramble mode has set in

Peacocking is different for every guy. What looks good on one looks ridiculous on another. Just wear what you are comfortable in but get a someone opinion first. What you think looks cool may be the reason no one is talking to you.

hi all, new to this. .

rite here my deal, im going to a party in 3 weeks time and the theme is black shirt and luminous/bright tie

my idea is to get maybe a lighting up one as this in my eyes would stand out (peacock) im setting my self the mission to use this date as my first visit to the field.

anyway, what im thinking, if the this is the theme and i go with the type of tie im thinking about, will this be peacocking enough? or shall i take it that one extra step?

thanks marto

Go with the least ostentatious tie that you think will meet the theme of the party and then set yourself up to stand out in other ways. Everybody's going to be wearing a crazy tie. How many will be wearing a suit? The party's going to be much crazier than that? Wear the required shirt and tie, a pair of boxers that matches the tie, and no pants (Or maybe a kilt. I love my kilt.)

Hey Jaybot!

I just hate the way you made Yar into the most used word in my vocabulary...

But yar, youre right...

Wear what is comfortable for you, In use bracelet and chainlet and that's enough, hat is not my style and I don't want to use it. I think, the basic use for peacocking is to increasy your inner game. Just ask simple question - does your peacocking inrease or decrease it? Do everything in order to have IG to the max. If you can achieve this without peacocking, you don't need it.

Women don't pay attention o peacocked guys. They pay attention yto self-confident guys. When you're strongly peacocked but have to few skills, it won't work.

I think strong peacocking brings results for mpore advanced PUAs. For beginners, you have to work on your inner game first. Otherwise, looking cool from outside and being AFC in the reality would make you fake.

Cheeers.

Peacocking is supposed to be a show a confidence, not to compensate or substitute for a lack of confidence. That being said, you should peacock relative to your confidence level. If you're not leather pants, neon-nail-polish and fuzzy hat confident, don't wear it. As others have said, being well dressed can be a from of peacocking in itself. To me the loud attention grabbing peacocking becomes a crutch if you rely on it too heavily. You're using an external object to initiate, rather than relying on your own abilities. You have to ask yourself, would women still be talking to you if you weren't dressed like a walking-sideshow?

so basicaly if i go in and i 'am' the party i am off to a good start.
i am extremly confident, im not good lookin i know that but that doesnt hold me back
if ya want i sort of couldnt give a fuck
i will act like i am brad pitt etc.

and no to the whle kilt idea, i have tattoos on my legs which are nt quite done and they are pretty hairless. lets just say not mybest feature

like i say i hav no problem going up to girls and talkng to them. but i dont ant to mumble some words and end up dribbling

what iv learnt from this is, dont over do it peacocking. . . (fine line in my eyes)
and peacocking is not as much of a substitute to self confidence but more of a aid, yes?

thanks, marto

The best way to get noticed is.... ahem. Shower, Shave, Fresh hairstyle, Proper colonge and amount, Confident walk and smile/look, and dressing smartly. I dont mean wearing a three piece suit. I mean dressing within yourself, and with yourself. All your kit has to be clean, and match. Girls love it when you match outfits properly. Also you must make shoes your best friend. Yes the new hot fashion item for women to love with themselves and men is shoes. That is where I would be unique, and where I do. Also a nice watch, or chain.
These are keys, not crazy hats, or painted nails, or costumes. Although some men can pull them off, sad to say it is probably not you.
