Analogies provide for great learning experiences, they open your mind to things you have yet to consider, yet to explore. As a marketer/negotiator (we all are but that is for a different post), human behavior, psychology, are of high interest to me. In addition , I love women, the pursuit, challenge, understanding. As mystery says: “You should always appreciate beauty but never be distracted by it”?.
The following is a well thought out post at the ShoeMoney blog:
“Peacock theory
In episode 2 Mystery teaches the guys that in order to be noticed and remembered you need to stand out. For examples he says that women wear shorter skirts or show more cleavage to separate themselves from the crowd. He goes on to say Men can wear tighter pants or go crazy with their hair. Now if I had not experienced this in real life I would call bullshit but when Dillsmack bet Marcus Tandler 100$ he would not wear his lederhosen out on the town in vegas” we saw exactly the kind of effect this peacocking had on women. They came out of nowhere and were all over Markus asking him where he was from and where he got his outfit. Markus won the bet and got all the attention from the ladies.. win win for him.
So what can internet marketers learn from peacocking? Well several things. For one you need to make your website stand out. For traditional websites this might mean some subtle things like using alternate colors or interesting branding techniques. For people looking to collect email addresses maybe you dont go with that standard 90 page in 1 page email submit thingie”. for people selling ebooks maybe you smack people in the face with a picture or audio right off the bat to let them know you are real and not like the 10,000 other people selling books to get rich over night.”
Hope you enjoy this one as much as I have.

Well, I was wearing a ridiculously loud Hawaiian shirt the first time I met Natalie…
Sahar, you find more great ideas out of the way places than anyone I have ever seen
Your post led me to immediately register a domain name - PeacockPrinciple.com. I envision a best selling book - The Peacock Principle - How to Stand Out in a Crowd. Hey, it worked for The Peter Principle (I love alliteration), one of the all time best sellers so maybe lightning will strike twice. Now I just need to find a ghost writer 
By the way - hate to burst your bubble David, but Natalie thought you were Rick Schwartz
Rick told me that shirt would work!
