There is a relatively new concept that I’ve noticed a lot of guys are into right now. Not the kind of guys I would ever be interested in, but most guys I see practically on every street, in the malls, even in the reggae bar my friends and I hang out in every Saturday.
I’m talking about the art that is called peacocking. I’ve only been introduced with the concept just recently, and I found it interesting enough that some men actually think it works and perform it wholeheartedly. For me, I just want to have my occasional dose of jackassery to release some stress, that’s why I’m writing about it.
Apparently, peacocking is men’s art of dressing extravagantly to get women’s attention for the sole purpose of picking them up. It got its name, of course, from the colorful animal. Men get to dress the best they could to make sure that they would stand out in a bar or club, and from there, wait for women to flock on them. Sometimes it works for them, most of the time I believe they only subject themselves either to further embarrassment or picking up the wrong kind of women. Personally, none of this works on me or my women friends, unless you call laughing outwardly at a peacocker “working”. But a guy friend remarked that it does work on some women.
I’ve been hit on by peacockers more times than I could admit, and none of which I’m either flattered or proud of. So why am I even bothering to write about it? Because it’s funny and entertaining. And some men are actually serious about doing it. So if you want to be entertained and informed, you can join me as I go into the world of peacocking. Know about different peacocking techniques that have been used on me, and some related to me by other friends.
I know women are more perceptive of men’s attitude, and most of us can tell in an instant if a man is as phony as the watch he’s showing off. But, for the sake of entertainment, and some knowledge about the art that is starting off a number of followers here, let’s step inside the world of peacocking.
