Silverchair’s Daniel Johns does have done it. A young David Bowie perfected it. Adam Ant overdid it. The whole make-up thing, that is. Rock stars have always strutted and preened.

So how much of your look contributes to your partners intrest? Can you sway the dating game from a bit of hair dye and excesive accesories? How far will you push your look to find the date of your dreams?

But ‘peacocking’ while it’s been dubbed from Mystery, the controversial host of the US reality TV show The Pick Up Artist is spreading to the mere mortals inside the male population.

Mystery, who does have bright red lips tattooed on his neck, heavy black kohl, flouncy white shirts and old-style aviation goggles, explains his look while a way of seducing and ultimately, sleeping w/ the women the guy dates.
On his show, Mystery schools bookish, date-less blokes inside the art of picking up – starting w/ dyeing their hair and dressing them inside fur jackets and floppy Great Gatsby hats.

The Queer Eye for the Straight Guy team gave a light spit and polish usually involving a bottle of moisturiser to men who r looking either to impress on a first date or revive a flagging relationship. Mystery, on the other hand, is all about helping his protégés bed women on the first date.

It’s a mating jungle out there’ is his message, and the only way to win is to don plumage brighter and crazier than all the others. But does it really work? Not surprisingly, peacocking does have its fair share of critics, If you’re not congruent w/ your look, what you wear will signal insecurity and a need for attention/validation, which will make women avoid you like the plague, says 1 male blogger on Seductionlair.com.
Nothing’s worse than having a girl then having her wonder why you have so many articles of female clothing inside your closet, the guy adds.

Amy, a 24-year-old flight attendant, said that while a peacock might become the first man to find her eye @ a party and that girl wouldn’t rule out sleeping w/ 1 ultimately the idea of fighting over the bathroom mirror or her make-up bag didn’t turn her on.

Xanthe, a 29-year-old chef, said: My first serious date wore black nail polish, eyeliner and a Mohawk. The guy was masculine inside every other way, but it was the combination of his muscular body and deep seductive voice w/ those feminine touches that made him irresistible to me. Now when I date someone I do wonder if they’re the kind of guy I can picture myself walking down the aisle w/. Or pushing a baby stroller without worrying about chipping their nail polish.

So go for it guys. If you’re a rock star, a Peter Pan, or if you’re just after a casual date or a one-night stand, then feather up. But if it’s a lasting relationship you’re after, hold off on the eye shadow and leave the lip gloss to the girls.
