Peacocking

If you’re unfamiliar with the term, peacocking is when there is something about you that can elicit conversation by acting as an icebreaker. Now there’s no magic shirt that will all of a sudden get you laid, but you can utilize small things to start a conversation and possibly get a smile. Get a smile, and you’ve got a promising start to any conversation.

A pink shirt might not do it for you but it’s certainly eye catching, isn’t it?

Got a cellphone capable of setting a ringtone? You can set a distinctive song to a particular good friend, and use that to your advantage. Whenever your friend calls, if there’s anyone interesting around, you can use a catch phrase from the song to greet your friend while simultaneously flashing a smile at the girl. This is great because the ringtone gets her attention, you get to smile while making eye contact – and now she’s just caught herself looking at you. This is the perfect time to take notice if she’s interested as people have trouble hiding interest in that half second.

Other methods such as bracelets, hats, shirts and shoes can act as conversation starters as well. Necklaces tend to be fairly standard so getting a comment on one is usually a fairly good indication of interest unless you have a remarkable necklace. Any time you get that extra glance or start a conversation using any of these things you can think to yourself – you didn’t even have to buy a porsche.
