I’ve been lurking in forums where peacocking is discussed, to get a feel about the whole thing, and to find out what those men who call themselves “peacocking masters” really think. I’ve come across one thread that started off as a simple question posted by one user about what kinds of props should he use, but then it gradually evolved into an argument among peacockers themselves about using skills vs. props.
It was a riot to see them argue about that. Arguing but doing the same thing anyhow. But it also had me thinking about what’s more important to consider. If you’re a woman and easily impressed by peacockers, or a man intrigued by the technique and want to try it, you have to have to determine which could help you more in your pursuit of—well—attention.
As for me, I consider having skills more rewarding than simply dressing up. If you have the skills needed in being able to properly converse with a person, it follows that you don’t have to wear something outrageous just to get people to notice you. In my opinion, men who resolve to peacocking are not that interesting enough to start with, if they still need extravagant accessories and outfits to get woman to be interested with them. If you’re interesting, it shows. If not, you show off.
