Approaching Women - The Art of Peacocking

www.ApproachDynamics.com

Since our post on Family Guy, we have had a number of requests for more information on peacocking. So here ya go...

In his book, ‘The Game,’ author Neil Strauss (a.k.a. ‘Style’) defines peacocking as follows:

“to dress in loud clothing or with flashy accoutrements in order to get attention from women. Peacocking items include bright shiny shirts, light-up jewelry, feather boas, colorful cowboy hats, or anything that makes one stand out in a crowd.”

There have been some great examples of peacocking in pop culture. One need only look at American Idol to see how a no-talent assclown named Sanjaya was able to advance far into the competition by standing out from the crowd (see above).

Even something as simple as a “loud” shirt, a funky hat or a flashy belt buckle (which brings attention to your crotch!) can do the trick. I came across peacocking by accident one night when I showed up at a college sports bar in a full tuxedo. Worked very well. I personally like a nice standout t-shirt (my favorite is a black one with Nosferatu on it) and a retro sports jacket. This frequently gets attention and has led to COUNTLESS conversations and possibilities.

Even if you go TOTALLY out there - pink boa, feathered hat, pimp-daddy style, you will get a reaction which could lead to opportunities. Take Michael Richards (a.k.a. Cosmo Kramer) from his pre-Laugh Factory days for instance...
