Everyone that has been around the pick up and dating community has heard the term “peacocking.” This term usually refers to wearing clothing and accessories with the purpose of creating interest. For example, a guy might wear an intriguing necklace in order to create interest in him and to serve as conversation starter.
I think that many have neglected this term. It is now connected with wearing ridiculous stuff and not only that but it is connected only with items you wear. I agree with Thundercat’s and Mystery’s view on peacocking that it should be congruent with who you are as a person.
I will not reinstate what they said about being congruent but I will explain my spin on it and why I think the term being associated with only things you wear is a bad thing.
Every year in college I bought those notepads, you know the ones that are like 80 sheets of just blank notebook paper. One year at the store I decided to be different and guess what I bought? Yes notepads. These weren’t ordinary notepads though.
You know those notepads girls got in elementary school with the dolphins and the unicorns like the really girly airbrush painting ones. Yea! I bought those. You may be laughing right now and that is understandable but just go with me on this.
You walk into a big class maybe 50-300 or more people and you walk up and sit right next to a hot girl I mean smoking hot. What you should say here… no clue. But that is the point! You don’t have to say anything.
All I would have to do is pull out my notebooks and soon my desk would be bright, attention getting, silly, DIFFERENT. The girl would almost always start a conversation with me.
If you play frisbee a lot and you would like to meet a girl that is into frisbee . Maybe you should carry one around or put it in your backpack or whatever. That might be a good way to get girls with similar interest to approach you.
Like a certain author? Carry a book around. Just think about everyday items you use and make those unique. If you are having a party at your house instead of drinking out of a red plastic cup or whatever. Why not buy a really interesting cup? I happen to have this awesome looking crystal goblet type cup that my grandmother gave me.
Not only do I get to drink from a bad ass cup, but everyone at the party I talk to will mention it. Just think outside the box.
