Fashion For The Pickup Artist Pt. 1
I am NOT the most fashion savvy guy in the world.I usually let my girlfriend pick out 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 definitely appreciate the artistic aspect of fashion style and design. It is like a work of art when I look at a very well dressed woman, I dig that.
But when a guy is "too stylish" I kinda lose respect for him.
Don't get it wrong, a guy should present himself like he means to be taken seriously. A good quality, nice and well-fitting clothes are a fundamental to masculine expression.
But some men take it too far.
Case in point, the obsession with "peacocking" in the pickup Community for the past several years.
Hearing that words makes me cringe.
YOU ARE NOT A PEACOCK.
Let me explain what is "peacocking," in case you're not familiar.
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.
I never saw 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 of this bullshit layers in the approach to dating. 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) keep the fact that you're seeking approval
c) play games with women so that they feel insecure and 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.
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 many guys have seen the advocates of this approach on TV shows,straining to make sense out of this hare-brained "technique."
It's sad to say that some students of other pickup schools that I've encountered, were not only nervous, misdirected, clumsy, they looked RETARDED.
So I want to set the record straight when it comes to fashion and meeting women.
There are only a handful of things you need to pay attention to when it comes to your appearance.
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.
