Peacocking help

[Bull Run]

I typically dont tuck unless I'm wearing nicer pants (black slacks...NEVER khaki.)

Good point. NEVER wear khakis. I don't even own a pair of khakis. And, for the love of God be sure to get flat front pants. Pleats look dated.

What about hats? Has anyone been experimenting with hats? I've considered it but I think it puts out too much of a PUA vibe. Thoughts?

I don't know if you guys realize this, but you're not talking about peacocking. RSD teaches that there are four levels of dress:
Lame ass
Cool
Super cool
Ridiculous

What PUAs should strive for is super cool. That means you dress like a cool guy with a little more style. You wear interesting jewelry or accents on your clothes. A hat is a good example of super cool. Most cool guys don't wear a hat. An indian head dress is an example of peacocking.

Peacocking, on the other hand, is to wear something ridiculous to show that you can stand social pressure. Mystery is the perfect example of peacocking, and consequently the ridiculous category. He also has a very strong personality, so he can stand the social pressure. He comes off as way beyond super cool, because you can bust on him and he turns it into a DHV. Most guys can't pull that off.

A guy with goggles and a boa chatting with hot girls is peacocked and beyond super cool. A guy with goggles and a boa sitting by himself in the corner is beyond creepy.

For most of us, we should shoot for super cool. There really is no need for a top hat and black fingernails.

Good point. And the social pressure part is dead on. Sometimes I venture into ridiculious catagory (some of you may have noticed). Last time I went out in Dallas I wore Fuzzy Devil Horns (after Halloween). My wing pointed out that I looked ridiculious...fuck that, horns are universally cool, and I #closed two HB9s and a few other chicks. But I could feel the social pressure--the constant Amoging from other guys.

I'd recomend anyone wanting to boost their confidence go out dressed in the "ridiculious" catagory...keep doing so until you become accustomed to the social pressure. Throw yourself into a volcano to become fire-proof.

The first time some asshole told me "Halloween was two days ago", I was caught off gard. The 50th time someone made a jackass comment, I was comfortable ignoring it or firing back "Then why are you still wearing your mask?" (in a friendly manner, followed up by talking to the guy, and demonstrating that Im sociable).

I first noticed the level of social pressure corollating with level of peacocking when I started wearing Fedoras. I also have experinced success at the other end of the sepcturm. I went to a disc golf tourny in Shreveport and ruined my tennis shoes and jeans.

This left me with a T-Shirt, Atheletic Shorts, DRESS SHOES, and White socks....and a badass fedora. I #-closed a couple of girls like that, and had a really cute one open me.

I like to shop anywhere trendy... when it's kinda busy and ask opinions of as many HB's as possible. This gives you sarge time and real opinions from the skirts.. Did I mention that skirts love to shop!

Sometimes?

Haha, dude. Serious understatement.

I wouldnt dare venture into wearing most of the stuff you wear. You've got balls. Or youre just crazy, I still havent figured that out yet.

I like the ridiculous category just to shake things up a little every once in a while.

Meanwhile I agree that super cool is what to strive for.

How to get there is a different story though.

[Twitchy]

I recommend wearing white socks and cardigan sweaters.

HA! take that cardigan sweater man.

check out undergear.com also. Velvet Blazers are in big time right now too. You can pick a quality one up for about $100-150. You can find no-name ones for less, but who knows what your getting.

[El Fenix]

Jeans are important too right now, I agree. My fave pair, I live in these bad boys. are from Joseph Abboud. Got them on big time sale, and are the most I've ever spent on jeans at $75 or so.
Lucky jeans and Diesel are good "fashion" brands that make great jeans at a good price.
No need for 7 jeans or True Religon, unless a few pairs just happen to "fall of the back of the truck, or you got "sticky fingers." $200- 300 for a pair of jeans is absurd, not sure why people would pay that.
