"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Does "peacocking" hurt?

Last year, I was wearing glasses, with t-shirts, and cheap jeans, this summer I added colorful leather jackets, suits, and party shoes to go along with that and stylish shirts and pants too, and I keep the first button open, which is very comfortable to say the least.

And to take "peacocking" to the next level, I just bought a classic old 1950's style swinger dance cap, and I can't stop laughing at my self, of how much confident and outgoing I look in this, plus I'm taking swing dance lessons, so it will go along very well with what I'm doing right now..

WOW is the reaction I'm getting from all my friends, and the people I approach too, so would you guys say its good or does it come out as cheesy?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Peacocking = Try hard, male attention ho.

Generate attention and attraction with your actions and words, not by dressing like a cartoon character.

Peacocking comes in a close 2nd behind "Negs" as ridiculous things that "the community" has convinced guys to do.

Nothing but gimmicks.

It's hurting because you are a damn 25 year old man dressed like Boozo the clown. There isn't enough peakcoking, black nail polish, spiked hair, goggles, etc, that makes up for a man chasing his dreams and passions, who takes care of himself and has a positive outlook on life.

Below thoose clown clothes... you are still you. and eventually when you appraoch.. you come out.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Link to cap.. Is this "peacocking"?
http://www.rastaroots.com/shop/images/cap-fedora-army.jpg

What is the difference between dressing to impress and peacocking? because thats where I'm getting a bit confusion...

For the last ten months, I have really been dedicated to self improvement, and changing my dress code was part of the change that I was tackling over the summer...

I usually try out lots of cloths before I pick the one I like, and I usually try to focus more on design and uniqueness then logo's, I don't go for brand names, but in all I am trying new things, Even the cap I got, is something I really liked, this is my first ever cap that I actually liked,

so is wearing stylish cap "peacocking"

I am just lost in the concept..

Okay.. this is how I would rock a hat.. clean, atches the outfit, adds to it

this is how a fool looks with a hat:

there is a notciable difference.

Nothing to do with brand names.. but that doesn't mean just shop at wal mart for a reason. it's a reaosn it's at wal mart. Just like there is a reason that woman is at the bar at 4am drunk as a skunk.

your post focued little on the cap.. and more on the clown shoes and everything else. when I really want to dress, I always throw on a fedora hat.

here is a suit I actually own.. actually i wore it last week:

http://www.execstyle.com/products/Suits/Coppley_2005/WKC_18264.jpg

Imagine yourself in that suit. you are going out for the night to a upscale night place or a resturant?

Throw on a vest under the jacket, a la Michel Coreone in the godfather a black fedora hat, a black leather band watch, some echo sport colonge, and a pair of these, because I'm blind as a bat
http://www.spex4less.com/acatalog/GG2752-LARGE.jpg

do you think you are going to turn heads? Walking around looking like that.. wouldn't you feel like you were the ****? one thing I learned, you act how you dress. can't explain it.

do you think the guy in cheap wal mart jeans and glow in the dark rings and crap has a chance? Assuming this guy is sane and normal?

I posted it a couple of itmes.. when I go out very rarely do I actually approach a woman. VERY rarley. Usually a woman compliments me on the way I look or she makes it soo ovboius that she wants me to talk to her even a blind man could see it. don't make your job harder than it has to be.

LOL :crackup: . I noticed you posted Mystery as an example flipping offf the camera with his black nails and make up etc. If you think about it he's almost like a Goth or whatever. His tactics probably work better on those, what I consider mentally unbalanced, goth type of girls.

Most guys "Peacock" to get attention from women and to even have women approach them and comment on their outfit, good or bad.

The problem with that mindset is that you are the MAN and it is your job to approach women, not the other way around.

Same with looking for "IOI's" - F*** that. Approach who you want, when you want, without waiting for any cues. What, do you need permission to approach women? No. You are a Man. You don't ask for or need permission to approach who you want, when you want.

BTW, this post isn't directed at anyone in this thread, it is more of a statement than a response to anyone.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

actually

in response to backbreaker, I buy 80% of my cloths from "the high class stylish store Bay from montreal at usually 70-80% discount, so the cloths I buy have brand names but I don't focus on that too much, the shirts I bought for $20 had reular price $120, so you see I look for quality and price, even the suit I bought had regular price of $625, which I got it for $110 in clearance, its very trendy and big store, they have different department for everything,

AS for my look, it is very much like what you've shown in your first picture, here is how the cap looks, is this looking bad or good?

I think you can over do it, and you can see that in the PUA show. I mean yeah, Kosmo won, but in that last one he was telling the dude to peacock, and that you have to wear lots of jewelry and all that stuff.

I think you look quite tacky wearing 8 bracelets, 6 rings, & 3 necklaces. I mean seriously. First off i'd never do that, and second, who wants 3lbs more of garbage on them. I have a nice looking fossil watch that fits, and two spinner rings from mexico. One on the left and one on the right. I dont need anymore than that. It adds, but doesn't over do it. And I sure as hell have never worn a belt with a buckle that is so big you could kill a cow with it.

I wear accessories I would wear any other time. I dont care to spend time putting 15 different items on every time I go out.
