Peacocking Ideas for Casual everyday use

[zarlock]

I have a couple of Peacock items that I have found useful in casual wear. They are actually printed t-shirts that provide an opportunity for interaction. These I got made locally for about $20 including the shirt

My best is a t-shirt that says
"I'm shy, but if you want to blow me JUST SMILE"
9 times out of 10 a women will visible laugh at this at which point you can say "I am not even going to tell you what you laughing tells me you want to do" and then go into your neg and IOI routine. etc "But get away from me you freak". This can also be printed up on a card and handed to someone, turn away from them let them read it and turn to capture the reaction.

The 2nd works for me because I actually do have a parrot that talks up a treat and I have yet to meet a women who is not impressed with a guy who can have an intelligent conversation with a parrot ... funny but true (check youtube with search term 'parrot tui' if you want to see what she can do). The T-shirt says "My Parrots Favorite Shirt" and from the shoulders to the front and back has a picture of ton's of bird shit dripping down.

This one has a few effects, if someone actually likes parrots they will approach you, others will make a comment on the shirt and you go into a routine. Obviously the concept is a peacock that can be worn casually that still allows you to play the game :) The shirt offers a sense of humor and a higher value of being a pet lover etc Carrying pictures of the pet in your wallet also help, saying something along the lines of "It's funny I was always embarassed when my mother used to talk to her dog and buy it xmas presents, but now that I am a parent of my babygirl I can understand why .. Look how adorable she is". I have also after the Attraction Stage used the opportunity to see the parrot as a way of getting them to my place :)

hope that is useful

Ha, thats funny. The first shirt you mentioned sounds great... For casual peacocking, I always use my favorite CSC cycling cap. It works like a charm for me!:rolleyes:

haha awesome, you're doing Voight proud!

I wear two things daily...

1. my chrome Fender belt buckle

2. My leather necklace with a guitar pick at the end

Girls like guitar, I happen to play, it all works together.

I think Zarlock is on the right track but I don't think you can wear the first tshirt for all occassions. I think funny slogan and tshirts are great as long as you are selective and original about the ones you choose to wear.

Its a bit like being cocky and funny - if you are too funny you will come off like a goofy wuss, and really turn women off. But if you have a subtle joke then you will get people approaching you and commenting on your tshirt - so it will work as an effective opener.

If you have a funny slogan idea - cafepress.com provides a print-on-demand service for a reasonable price. I think it cost $8.99 to print your design on a "value t-shirt".

I have found a few designs on there which I think will be good conversation starters. Mainly designer brand parodies because they will indirectly show that you are interesting and have style/fashion sense. Nothing too loud or goofy.

I'm shy, but if you want to blow me JUST SMILE

Don't you feel like the t-shirt overshadows your personality, that she is into the shirt, but could care less about you - the guy wearing it?

It did make her laugh, and in daygame, people turn into zombie slaves with little happiness - IT'S WORK TIME! Laughter is a drug, it's like sniffing coke. The girly birds laugh, and all the sudden, the disco ball comes down from the sky, the Bee Gees start playing, and you're there to show her the motherfucking hussle.

Inspiring laughter is one of your most powerful weapons as a pick-up doggy. But not your only weapon, baby, otherwise, you'd be a comedian for free.

Sinoda,

Those parody links are pretty good, like you said they give off a sense of fashion with out becoming a lemming and are good conversation starters.

I like the shirts, they're pretty clever, but the overall category they fit in (the cheesy one-liner t-shirts) has been beaten to death and tend to be turnoffish in a setting with plenty of male competition (like say a bar/club with dozens of GIs hanging around, which is my situation for night game).
Here are my current peacocking items that I wear or have on me 99% of the time, and help to differentiate myself from the "commoners", if you will:

-bug-eye sunglasses (think Bono from U2) either over my eyes or pushed back onto my head
-ball-chain necklace with a celtic cross copper pendant hanging from a black cord
-celtic ring (what can I say? I love my Scottish heritage) with a homemade ball-bearing bead ring stacked beneath it (looks pretty cool, and it matches the necklaces)
-analog/digital wristwatch (digital part lights up when I push a button, suprises some people)
-2 chains hanging from my belt to my wallet (helps with the rockstar look I have going)
-my ever famous "Fuck Communism" zippo (makes for fun conversation)
-a pair of black leather pants for when I'm feeling especially frisky

Each of these items have an interesting DHV story tied to them.

Things that I would like to get:
-had the idea to start buying t-shirts that have pieces of famous art printed on the front, to catch the eyes of slightly more sophisticated women (bimbos get boring after a while)
-the "T-Qualizer" animated shirt from thinkgeek.com
-possibly the chain mail shirt also from thinkgeek.com (good price, and would be excellent in certain venues)
-a nice looking glass pendant to take the place of my copper pendant
-a pair of "rockstar" boots, like new rock or some others mentioned here on the forum

Other than that, I have a couple items that would fall under a "situational peacocking" category, such as the cigars that I smoke when in the smoking areas of the places I go to...I'm usually the only one puffing a nice-smelling stogie, so I get comments on that, and also it helps me with the mentality of the person making those comments (i.e. I can tell they're a stoner if they ask "Is that a blunt?", so I know where I can take the conversation from there).

I think peacocking is a very useful tool, as long as your personality is congruent with it, and despite the number of items I have on my lists above, I am careful to calibrate to each target venue so as to not appear try hard or attention seeking.

I find a velvet blazer works very well for peacocking. It has a nice shine to it ... and women love to run their hands over it. Plus it goes well with jeans. I have a great Ralph Lauren dinner jacket/velvet tuxedo jacket with shawl lapels and a big curly rope closure. I have experimented with wearing an ascot with this but that seems a little over the top.

International Male (InternationalMale.com) also makes a lot of great peacocking clothes. In fact one of Mystery's favorite jackets (brocade baroque jacket with pirate buttons in front) comes from International Male. They also make something called the London Opera Coat, which is like a trench coat in black or white with a mandarin collar. It looks really great ... kind of like Blade meets the Highlander. International Male also makes a great pirate shirt with the frills and the puffiness that looks more dashing than one would expect.

They also make a full length white faux fur coat and a red or black faux fur jacket that gets a lot of attention. You can sometimes find these things on EBay for much less than the $100 - $200 they charge at International Male. (I bought a full outfit that looks a lot like something out of Midnight with a Vampire, complete with purple velvet vest on EBay for around $50.)

If anyone is looking for a certain look, let me know and I might be able to help you out. I list a lot of things on EBay clothing-wise and used to dress bands as a personal stylist. I've got a lot of connections. If you want a sure peacock look with a touch of bad boy ... go with a beat up cafe racer jacket or a 70s style tight fitting red leather Fight Club jacket and a wide collar 70s shirt.

I'm new to this arena and have a job that requires me to look clean-cut, similar to the military. If I run into one of my contacts (or worse, colleagues) and I am too outrageously dressed, I may be in my boss's office on Monday A.M. I often get told I look like Matt Damon or Leo Dicaprio (glad he stopped doing wussy roles). Any suggestions on how I can peacock subtly (oxymoron)?

I can only speak for myself, but this is my take on it (for my full post, see "Greetings From a Female PUA"):

"As for you men, a well-tailored dark suit, a nice silk shirt and soft leather boots or Italian loafers can be a real turn on to a woman and will distinguish you from a sea of jeans, T-shirts and big old athletic shoes that every other guy is wearing. Bottom line, be adventurous, try different styles and find out what works for you."

Remember, there is nothing preventing you from experimenting with something a little more outrageous behind closed doors with your special HB. That is part of the fun of it, after all.

All the best,

Good advice, thank you. The latter look won't get you past the bouncers, much less into a set in my area.

Short Answer "hmmm NO". You got to have a pretty weak personality or game if you think a peacock item used to illicit a target to open you and think that is all there is too you.

The shirt is a reflection of my personality, it is not the totality of it, an I have never had anyone say "nice shirt wanna fuck?" nor has anyone after talking even made reference to the shirt again. That is my line "ohhh your smiling and we both know what that means .... omg now your laughing I might as well ask you now, will you require coffee or tea in the morning"

Just a point, an NLP usage here, in order to comprehend the coffee or tea choice she has to imagine being with me in the morning, and by giving her only two options both imply she will be. Her giving an answer to that statement makes it a verbal contract or promise of action within her mind

2 nice posts from you on this thread, 'zarlock'.

First one being funny and also giving me some ideas. Second one is a reply to RPFS along the lines of what I would've told him.

Because the shirts aren't the personality. It's just a funny cool item that gets attention and that attention comes from hot girls sometimes. Then once they make a comment about it, it's like they've 'opened' for you and you then have a chance to attract them with your real personality, stories or whatever as you normally would after approaching a girl/set. Only difference, they open for you and you've already made them laugh.

Wearing that short doesn't make you a comedian or a clown. It's just a way to pea-cock and also put a smile on many faces and also make 'initiating' some interactions easier.

@Agen007, you made a nice post there. Some good tips and advise and I'm sure some people will be contacting you. :)
