Clive...if your serious i highly recommend you do some reading. Mystery Method and Magic Bullets are great beginnings, as well as The Game.

When was dressing like one of the village people cool, manly, or sane?

Just be yourself, that inner self youve been covering up. Go try on clothing you used to think where cool but never had the guts to wear. Take a girl along for fashion advice if you can, if not solicate help from a female at the store (customer or employee).

What you wear has to be something you comfortable in, and i dont mean comfortable like if feels physically good...i mean like you dont feel like an idiot being seen in it.

Also Peacocking is not as big a part of PUA as you think. The biggest part is confidence and looking good and being comfortable in what you wear impact your confidence very much.

I gotta give you points for trying.... I think your outfit would have went over well (no ax of course) if you were in the Kentuky hills or somewhere where it would have fit in a little more.. Ha.., your ex knows you and it wont fly with her, Some of the easiest pick up times for me when I was younger out working, hot,sweaty, stinky (not B.O !!) chicks love a hot sweaty working guy, hell it shows we have a job, increases our DHV..... Mabey you should have added some wood shavings to your attire, if you really wanted to impress her, rub pine tar on your hands and touch her alot, she would have remembered you the rest of the night!!! Too Funny.....

dude all peacocking is something that you were that will make you stand out in a good way but going out wering lumber jack shit is pretty bad peacocking why dont you try to were outfits that dont make it seem like you have lived in a log cabin for 20 years. try like maybe shit that glows in the dark or rings a cool ass hat.small shit like that is all you really need.
