At the end of the day, peacocking was designed to standout and not a word meaning dress fashionably. In some venues, dressing fashionably will be peacocking. But in Los Angeles (or wherever the game was written), I'm quite certain the average fashion of the crowd is good. It may look absurd and easy to criticize by juxtaposing fashionable individuals, but at the end of the day it's not always achieving the same goal. The more subtle your peacocking, the more likely it won't be noticed. The amount of peacocking necessary in Los Angeles will never be the same as what is required West Texas.
This is right on.
I would like to add that it's all about the tribes. Mystery and Style talked about that in their material back in the day and I think it's not really fair to use their fashion style as a "bad example". Mystery for example is doing that 100% on purpose, the type of women he was most interested are the "hyper-peacocky" girls, think strippers, porn girls, hair stylists, musicians, tattoo artists etc etc. Style went for mostly the same type of girls and so does VK... I think they are dressing for the tribe they like.
A girl whose style is something like this:
Is going to be more likely to go for someone dressed in a similar fashion, then someone dressed in the conservative garb suggested in this thread.
If your looking for an average white or asian former sorority girl turned young professional and live in a middle class or higher area in a major US metro area, then the good peacocking pictures in this thread are basically what you want to look like. She is very average, so you be very average.
I do wonder though, whats up with the guy in just a tank top? I'd consider that a general example of a do not personally, no matter your tribe I don't see a reason to wear just a tank top for your shirt if your trying to look good, except maybe going to the beach/gym/sports etc, but again those aren't really activities you'd generally be highly fashion conscious for.
Overall I'd just say consider the type of girls you like best, or currently want to get and dress accordingly.
