What The Pickup Artist on VH1 Wont Tell You About Fashion 1
I am NOT the most fashionable guy in the world.
I usually let my girlfriend pick out clothes for me - not
for MY benefit..
... 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 absolutely appreciate the aspect of design and style
of fashion. When I looked at the able-bodied dressed woman,
her outfits is like of art, and I dig that.
I kinda lose respect when a guy is "too stylish."
Don't misinterpret me, a man should present himself like he
means to be taken seriously. A nice suit, good quality,
well-fitting clothes are a basic of being a masculine.
But some guys take this so much.
Case in point, 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.
There was an emergence of routine-based "game" a while ago
that rely heavily on superficial techniques, status games,
and over-analysis of social interactions.
This always gone in the opposite direction and I never saw
the value of it.
The main 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.
On top of that, the FIRST FOCUS of all that strategy and
game-playing was to eventually get approval from women,
while making them feel insecure so they'd think you were
cooler than them.
Think of this bullshit layers in the approach to dating.
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) hide the truth that you're looking for approval
c) play games that will make women feel insecure so that
they will 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.
Now there's nothing wrong with wearing a nice watch, or a
necklace that has some 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 make a direct proof when it comes to fashion
and approaching women.
There are few pieces of things you need to pay attention to
when it comes to your physical looks.
After you have handled this stuff, you should place it out
of your mind, and that you shouldn't wait for women to
notice you before TAKING AN ACTION.
Before moving on, I have something to expose.
