Fashion For The Pickup Artist Pt. 1

By Vin DiCarlo

I am NOT the most fashionable guy in the world.

I usually let my girlfriend pick out clothes for me - not for MY benefit..

... but so that she doesn't feel embarrassed when we go out in public together!

If it were up to me, I'd wear sweats and a t-shirt all day, with some old worn out sneakers. I mean, I think fashion is pretty silly.

I can absolutely appreciate the aspect of design and style of fashion. When I looked at the able-bodied dressed woman, her outfits is like of art, and I dig that.

But when a guy is "too stylish" I kinda lose respect for him.

Don't misinterpret me, a man should present himself like he means to be taken seriously. A nice suit, good quality, well-fitting clothes are a basic of being a masculine.

But some men take it too far.

Case in point, the obsession with "peacocking" in the pickup Community for the past several years.

When I hear this term it makes me cringe.

YOU ARE NOT A PEACOCK.

Let me explain what is "peacocking," in case you're not familiar.

A while ago, there was an emergence of routine-based "game," relying heavily on superficial techniques, status games, and over-analysis of social interactions.

I didn't see the value of any of this, and have always gone in the opposite direction.

The main reason for this is that I saw how pretending to be someone other than yourself, and saying jokes and routines that other guys came up with JUST FELT WRONG.

The PRIMARY FOCUS of all these strategy and game-playing was to visibly get approval from women, but making them feel insecure and they'd think you were cooler than them.

Think of this bullshit layers in the approach to dating. Not only are you faking your personality because you

a) seek approval (as if women were an authority on what makes a man a man)

b) keep the fact that you're seeking approval

c) play games with women so that they will seek your approval when they feel insecure

YUCK

One of the main techniques of this approach was to "peacock," to dress up in a really loud, ostentatious way so that women would "notice" you and want to talk to you.

Wearing a nice watch, or a necklace isn't a bad thing because some have personal meaning.

But don't do it to make women like you.

I'm sure many guys have seen the advocates of this approach on TV shows,straining to make sense out of this hare-brained "technique."

I've personally encountered students of other pickup schools, and felt sad because these poor guys were not only nervous, clumsy, misdirected...they looked RETARDED.

So I want to make a direct proof when it comes to fashion and approaching women.

There are few pieces of things you need to pay attention to when it comes to your physical looks.

After knowing this stuff, you should put it out of your mind and TAKE ACTION before women can notice you.

Before we move on, I have a secret that has to reveal.
