Peacocking
Peacocking is the use of attention-getting clothes to amplify your responses in the field. If you are peacocked, girls will look at you more often, and guys will make sniggering comments. This means that there will be more social pressure on you than you would normally experience.
It is a demonstration of higher value when people perceive that you are accustomed to this social pressure and otherwise unaffected by it. (In other words, when people see that you are congruent with your image)
This congruence is the critical point. A man with a top hat and a feather boa, with two women on his arms and surrounded by laughing friends, looks like the man. Everyone in the room will notice him and women will whisper to one another that they want to be introduced to him. But the same man sitting by himself in the corner could end up looking like a social reject.
Try wearing at least one item that is cool and attention getting. It may be used as a lock-in prop as well as allows women to make a comment, good or bad, if they wish to open or sustain a conversation with you.
For example, one thing she might so if you are talking to her and she senses that the conversation is winding down, she may suddenly say, “Oh that’s a cool necklace.” This is her way of continuing the interaction in a perfectly reasonable way, while reserving some element of plausible deniability.
On more than one occasion Mystery has had women walk up to him and tell him that they hate his goggles. He would reply, “No you don’t, you’re attracted to me.”
This is why it’s important that the prop be genuinely cool. Otherwise she would look like a try-hard for commenting on it and she’ll lose the courage to do so. (Incidentally you also look like a try hard every time you tell a girl how cool her necklace is)

the concept of peacocking is great to obtain attention and start a conversation;
however, it also makes you extremely vulnerable to shit tests. “Why are you
dressed like that?” or “Why do you wear so much jewelry?” the list goes on and
on. What’s the best way to counter these peacocking related shit tests?

How to counter shit tests girls give you for your peacocked items. One way is when she says, “I hate your ____.” you reply with mystery’s “No you don’t, your attracted to me” bit. But when a girl asks, “Why are you dressed like that?” or “Why do you wear so much jewelry?” simply reply with “I’ll get to that in a sec, but first let me show you…” and start a routine. And she’ll probably end up interrupting you in which case you throw a few negs in her direction. Hope it helps a little. HustlerHass

Good advice Hass,
I personally found that even when girls are making fun of something im wearing as long as i can keep rolling it works out.
I have this white watch i wear out and every girl hates it. at least three times a night a girl will stop me to make fun of it. but once i get talking to them, like hass says busting out a routine or some cocky funny stuff.. they forget about the watch. If you’ve got good game peacocking is fine.. if you can’t back it up with your talk then you’ll be in for some trouble.
