Fashion For The Pickup Artist Pt. 1
Oct 1st, 2008 by Vin DiCarlo
I am NOT the most fashion savvy guy in the world.
Usually it is my girlfriend who pick the clothes for me - not for my benefit…
… but so that she doesn’t feel embarrassed when we go out in public together!
If it were me to pick the clothes, I’d wear a sweats and T-shirt all day, together with an old worn sneakers. It means that I think a fashion as silly.
I can definitely appreciate the artistic aspect of fashion design and style. When you look at a really well dressed woman, her outfit is like a work of art, and I dig that.
But when a man is “too stylish” I kinda lose respect for him.
Don’t get me wrong, a man should present himself like he means to be taken seriously. A nice suit, good quality, well-fitting clothes are a fundamental part of masculine expression.
But some men take it too far.
The case is, the obsession with “peacocking” in the pickup Community for the past several years.
Hearing that words makes me cringe.
YOU ARE NOT A PEACOCK.
If you don’t know what “peacocking” is, let me explain it to you.
A while ago, there was an emergence of routine-based “game,” relying heavily on superficial techniques, status games, and over-analysis of social interactions.
I didn’t see the value of any of this, and have always gone in the opposite direction.
Reason for this is that I saw how pretending to be someone other than yourself, and saying jokes and routines that other guys came up with JUST FELT WRONG.
The PRIMARY FOCUS of all these strategy and game-playing was to visibly get approval from women, but making them feel insecure and they’d think you were cooler than them.
Think about the layers in the dating approach. Not only are you faking your personality because you
a) seek approval (as if women has an authority on what makes man a man)
b) hide the truth that you’re looking for approval
c) play games with women so that they feel insecure and try to seek your approval
YUCK
One of the main techniques of this approach was to “peacock,” to dress up in a really loud, ostentatious way so that women would “notice” you and want to talk to you.
Wearing a nice watch, or a necklace isn’t a bad thing because some have personal meaning.
But don’t do it to make women like you.
I’m sure a lot of you guys have seen the advocates of this approach on TV shows, straining to make sense out of this hare-brained “technique.”
I felt sad to the students of other pickup schools that I’ve encountered because these poor guys were not only nervous, clumsy, misdirected…they looked RETARDED.
So I want to set the record straight when it comes to fashion and meeting women.
There are only few things that you need to focus when it comes to your appearance.
After knowing this stuff, you should put it out of your mind and TAKE ACTION before women can notice you.
Before I go on, I have to reveal a secret.
