I’ve had a lot of encounters with peacockers who thought they were doing the right thing. Sadly, most of those men weren’t even aware that they were making themselves even more miserable by looking stupid in inappropriate outfits. If you’re really interested to try peacocking, you should be able to answer these questions correctly to know if you’re capable of doing it or not.
1. Where should you get your inspiration when looking for clothes for peacocking?
a. Your own personality
b. Whoever is the most popular icon at the moment
c. The total opposite of your personality
When choosing an “image” for peacocking, you should always consider what type of personality you have, otherwise you will look like a social reject from another decade spewed into the future (or past) just so you won’t spread your bad taste. The worst peacockers are the ones who thought initially that they could pull off just any image they can think of. Can you imagine John Malkovich playing James Bond? Not gonna happen. If you’re skinny and you look like a total geek but you want to look like one of the JabbaWockeez, you’ll just end up looking like a ten-year-old forced to wear a grown man’s shirt. The secret is try to identify yourself first, and look for the nice things about yourself (if there is any) and that’s what you enhance about yourself.
2. What should you consider when choosing clothes and accessories for peacocking?
a. The accessories should have an animal part (a tooth, eyeball) or something else exotic.
b. You should never exclude leather in your overall outfit.
c. The clothes and accessories should not be too outrageous that it scares people, just enough to get their attention.
Choosing accessories for peacocking is like choosing weapons for battle. No, letter A is not the answer. It’s letter C. You shouldn’t go overboard to total weirdness. Choose accessories that are still normal-looking but could attract a lot of the right attention. Cool statement shirts, a stud earring with a unique design, or a rock star necklace or chain are forgivable.
3. What should be your ultimate goal before you go out for peacocking?
a. You should be able to pick girls up no matter what
b. People should be able to notice your unusual style and that you’re confident about it
c. You should be able to trump all the dudes wearing regular clothing
Before you go out of the house and into the club, ask yourself first: “Can I pull this off without embarrassing myself in front of other people?” If the answer is no, go back and watch TV instead. If you answer yes, then you’re ready to show off your peacocking styles. You have to remember that people should see confidence in you even though you’re wearing extraordinary outfit and think you are one hell of a guy for pulling off those cowboy boots.
