Fashion For The Pickup Artist Pt. 1

By Vin DiCarlo

I am NOT the most fashion savvy guy in the world.

Usually the one who pick out clothes for me is my girlfriend - not for MY benefits...

... so that if we go out in public together she will not feel embarrassed!

If I were the one to pick my clothes, I'd rather pick the sweats and t-shirt, coupled with my old worn sneakers. I mean, I think fashion is 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.

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

Don't get it wrong, a guy should present himself like he means to be taken seriously. A good quality, nice and well-fitting clothes are a fundamental to masculine expression.

But some men take it too far.

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

It makes me cringe when I hear this term.

YOU ARE NOT A PEACOCK.

If you're not familiar with "peacocking," let me explain.

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 never saw the value of any of this, and have always gone in the opposite direction.

Major reason is I saw how pretending to be someone other than yourself, and it JUST FELT WRONG saying the routines and joke that the other guys came up with.

On top of that, the PRIMARY FOCUS of all that strategizing and game-playing was to covertly get approval from women, while making them feel insecure so they'd think you were cooler than them.

Think about the layers of bullshit in that 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) hide the fact that you're seeking approval

c) play games that will make women feel insecure so that they will try to seek your approval

YUCK

To dress up in a really loud, ostentatious way so that women would "notice" you and want to talk to you is a kind of "peacock,". And "peacock" is one of the main techniques in approaching women.

Now there's nothing wrong with wearing a nice watch, or a necklace that has some personal meaning.

But I never do that just to make women like me.

I'm sure a lot of you 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'd like to set a record when it comes to fashion and meeting girls.

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 I go on, I have to reveal a secret.
