Peacocking is a concept described in "The Game" as dressing outrageously in order to garner women's attention. The PUA called Mystery used to encourage his subjects that there should be no limit on the outrageousness, dress like someone straight out of an Elton John music video if you want to. This ended up in the top-hat, black nail, snake suit caricatures of PUAs that became much maligned in the mid 2000s.

Seeing this reaction to peacocking can lead someone to believe that it doesn't really work. There is also a natural reaction to not want to try too hard in the clothing department for fear of looking desperate. Well I'm here to tell you peacocking still works in 2019. The method expressed in "The Game" was simply version one. With some refinement, you can do it even with today's sky high pickiness in women.

Successful peacocking today has to be creative, yet believable. Rollo Tomassi gives good advice on this. He says, "you need to look like somebody important in society to encourage the fantasy." This is a good foundation for creativity in peacocking. For the believability part, this is dictated largely by your location and ethnic group. For example, I am a black man. What works for me is looking like an athlete (matching tracks/sweats from head to toe), a rapper (fitted cap+wife beater+bling+jeans), a militia man (fitted shirt, dog tag, cargo pants, shades, beret and boots) or an African chief (Nigerian native outfit+coral beads+sandals). These are peacocking examples that fire up popular images of black alphas which in turn makes me a fantasy come to life for a lot of women. Since I tried this, I've finally started getting strong IOIs from women that I'm very attracted to, whereas when I was using the typical male fashion advice of "just be neat and wear fitting clothes," I was only getting IOIs from women who were undeniably below me in SMV and unattractive to me.
