What The Pickup Artist on VH1 Wont Tell You About Fashion 1

Published by pickupartist under Dating, Pick-Up Edit This

I am NOT the most fashion savvy guy in the world.

Usually the one who pick out clothes for me is my girlfriend - not for MY benefits…

… so that if we go out in public together she will not feel embarrassed!

If it were up to me, I’d wear sweats and a t-shirt all day, with some old worn out sneakers. I mean, I think fashion is pretty 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.

I kinda lose respect when a guy is “too stylish.”

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 guys take it too far.

The case is, the obsession with “peacocking” in the pickup Community for the past several years.

It makes me cringe when I hear this term.

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 never saw the value of any of this, and have always gone in the opposite direction.

Major reason is I saw how pretending to be someone other than yourself, and it JUST FELT WRONG saying the routines and joke that the other guys came up with.

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) look for approval (as if girls were an authority on what makes man a man)

b) keep the fact that you’re seeking approval

c) play games that will make women feel insecure so that they will try to seek your approval

YUCK

To dress up in a really loud, ostentatious way so that women would “notice” you and want to talk to you is a kind of “peacock,”. And “peacock” is one of the main techniques in approaching women.

Wearing a nice watch, or a necklace isn’t a bad thing because some have personal meaning.

But I never do that just to make women like me.

I’m sure many guys have seen the advocates of this approach on TV shows,straining to make sense out of this hare-brained “technique.”

I’ve personally encountered students of other pickup schools, and felt sad because these poor guys were not only nervous, clumsy, misdirected…they looked RETARDED.

So I’d like to set a record when it comes to fashion and meeting girls.

There are only a handful of things you need to pay attention to 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 moving on, I have something to expose.
