​@@frankstallone3864 bro it was just an analogy

when i was awkward teenager who just had height sprut, i got lot of new attention from people. those day i used to wear ugly clothing just to not attract attention. wiered times

I have my own company now and when I was just getting started I used to dress up in suits all the time before I realized it doesn't matter at all. Now I get kinda annoyed by people that wear full suit to non important meetings. They are posers wanting to be someone they're not. You're not fooling anyone by looks alone, sooner or later, your competence and intelligence is what ultimately matters.

@@frankstallone3864 Why does my comment upset you so much ? Are you someone who has been fooled into thinking that dressing UP (somewhat inappropriately) will somehow get you somewhere special in life, even though you don’t have the skills or aptitude to match the image you are trying to project ? OR are you someone who treats people based on how they dress, and have been stung because it turns out the most important person in the establishment wasn’t interested in superficial displays of clothing and you embarrassed yourself by treating them poorly ?

That's quite the lesson! Good parent :)

I treat everyone the same. I've seen too many slimeballs in suits where I work.

@@theeggtimertictic1136 I hope you mean that you treat everyone with respect no matter who they are. Yes, slimeballs can be very well dressed because they like to impress others with their position at work, etc. They remind me of the chocolate bunny all wrapped in a fancy foil wrapper but hollow and empty inside.

@@annarodriguez9868 Yes exactly. Having said that there are nice people in suits and vice versa. Clothes don't make a man. I take people as individuals no matter who they are 👍

It's brutal. I'm in the worst shape I've ever been in life and beginning to lose my hair and people have become absolutely vile to me. It's a horrible horrible society.

​@@bradleymiller437 you say it's horrible but I say it's good, it's you who let yourself get to that point and there's no excuse!

​@@bradleymiller437 and fyi your hair is falling out because cholesterol accumulates in your veins and restricts flow and EVERY SINGLE HAIR FOLLICLE has a minute vein that goes to it and even the tiniest restriction will cause blood flow to stop and that hair follicle dies.

Yeah it’s almost like you should stay away from people as a general rule because none of them are authentic and still think like animals.

Same. I lost some excess weight and toned up loads and people were much nicer to me. Men I knew and worked with said that I’d changed as a person and my personality was different. It definitely wasn’t, they just viewed me in a more sympathetic light because they found me more attractive. No woman thought that I was different in any way other than physically.

Response to Aaron sky : Yes, I know what you mean. But it is superficial nevertheless. Let me explain : my hubby was a blue jean man - his choice. He took on a totally OMG pin- up look when he slipped into a suit. As he was kind, loving, honest and humanitarian in nature, he felt uncomfortable and distanced from his true self. How I miss this decent person. He passed away 7 years ago.

@@bperez8656 Yes yes, I know. He’s talking about specifically dressing up to seem as if you’re more competent than you are. I was merely joking. I simply dress comfortable. But it’s true that ppl massively underestimate me.

@@tahaelaminekassabi5720 Same here. I'm a dressmaker and I'm usually wearing a plain blouse or t-shirt and jeans except to church or a special occasion. I like to help others enjoy their special days by making them beautiful things. For me, fancy clothes are a waste of time and money and nuisance to care for. I'm happy with the few nice things I have.

So that’s why I don’t like to dress up. I’m avoiding the deep deception.

So dressing homeless is an accurate signal of your competence?

That's just rationalizations for deceptions.

He’s meaning the pick up artists who are trying to fool women into believing they’re competent when they’re actually not.

True rrue but in end of no consequence as function of clothes is to provide warmth.

It can also be what you are claiming if you are aiming up and practicing.

@@Nah-ah I think it's not only an issue with pickup artists. For example, I oftentimes see young business administration students running around with suits. They tend to be perceived as very competent by everyone, not just women, but when you actually observe them or interact with them it seems like all they have going for them is superficial charisma and some narcissistic traits. It's clearly just a facade to elevate their status but it devalues the suit as a symbol of competence as a whole when every incompetent guy can wear it, especially if that person doesn't have any real goal of improving their competence to fit the attire to begin with. I think the suit deserves too much respect as for a mere student to wear in most settings, at least in the organizational or academic setting.

You copying and pasting in everyone's comments this same bullshit should be taken into consideration as well.

EDIT: Basic personal hygeine is *NOT* "Dressing up". To "dress up" (in the context of the video you should have watched before commenting) is to dress in a way that is false. Signaling competence (wealth) that a person does *not* have /has *not* earned in order to attract someone. I did, and still do not feel that this was a particularly honest way to attract someone, as they would presumably be irritated with the deception. No idea why people replying to me are making this out to be about basic personal hygiene and grooming, but that's the internet for you. Original comment: Is it? Sounds like going out of your way to 'dress to impress' is the opposite of honest. Sounds like we should be focusing on *who* a person is, not what they wear. Seems like following the advice of a "pickup artist" may not be the best way to 'honestly seek a mate'. But that was my takeaway.

Hey Corey js.. good women (the kind of women you want to marry) like it when men look good and dress well.. it shows proper grooming and habits

@@coreylevesque4919 dressing to look good and feel confident is not ‘dishonest’ unless you’re doing it to gain trust or leverage into a business or sexual relationship. Just dressing up a bit, looking clean, coordinated and well fitted is what anyone can do. And to your comment about focusing on “the person” is valid only if you practice that yourself. Applying that kind of judgement broadly on others and assigning negative motives on strangers is called “virtue signaling”. If so, here’s a question: you’re out with friends and see a 250 lb woman at a party or club would you seek her out as a potential girlfriend or wife? Hmmm….🧐

@@gailfagan7579 Anyone who refuses to look at me twice based on my lack of Calvin Klein and Gucci garbage doesn't deserve a second look from me either. If, by 'dress up', you mean 'dont wear dirty clothes', that says more about you than anything else really. (In a good way, in my opinion) I have known guys who 'dress up' by putting on $10k in jewelry before they leave the house. Before you embarrass yourself with an unearned attitude, maybe you want to get on the same page as the person you are talking down to? Hmmmmmm...

So what's the status if you dress up like a pimp. Nice suit, neat look, nice and fancy car, walk with confidence. People are still basically pretty shallow.

Problem is, humans are generally very bad at knowing what is “good” for them. The person we imagine we are, rarely aligns with the person that other people see in us. Consequently we “want” things that we imagine will be ideal for us, only to find the thing (or person) we thought would be perfect for us, isn’t. Finding out who you actually are, and forgetting about imagining who you want to be, is a more honest and productive way to move through life.

Hes just warning that it could be used deceivingly. There are multiple sides to everything.

“Peacocking” is doing this by dressing in an attention-getting unique way. Pick-up artists understand and talk about status quite a bit, but I think this is not part of it. Dressing “nice” or “of greater social status” be “Lion’s maning,” (a term I made up) where as “Peacocking” is really about dressing outrageous or weird, attracting attention by being flashy and brilliant in your look. At least that’s my understanding of it, at any rate: one will get you accepted in the board room-of higher status-the other definitely won’t.

I googled it too, wasn't very surprised that the premise of Peterson's argument was already false

​@@mountainstream8351 I think people in suits look arrogant ... Ive met too many skeezeballs in suits. Give me a man who rolls up his sleeves any day.

​@@theeggtimertictic1136 Like John Wayne in McLintock 😍 *sigh*

Well he is a millionaire Professor of Psychology, so I suppose he thinks that means he is entitled to dress in a three piece pinstripe suit and tie, probably with cufflinks, because knowing a lot about Jung and rewriting the sentences of his books fifty times means he has sufficient status to dress to impress. I became aware of him from his videos of his classes when his analysis of the original Disney animated _The Lion King_ seemed like a better class than any I ever had at school: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ac98nK5-us_dhH0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpygla2F1tyWmKs.html In these lectures, although he is wearing a casual jacket, he isn't wearing a tie, and I doubt he is wearing cufflinks. My guess is that his current attire is some kind of psychological armour which will both remind himself how much success he has had from his ideas due to the support he has gained from all those who have bought into his world view, and a subtle intimidation to those who come at him in debates who will likely not be as well dressed and to which the audience will regard as being of inferior status even if their arguments are better than his. I recall the TV debate between JFK and Nixon being thought to have been won by JFK, whilst those listening on Radio were adamant Nixon won with better arguments. This is when image got into debates, and American politics. It explains why we got Ronald Reagan as President, and later Donald Trump. Don't be surprised if we get someone as President who got famous from TikTok.

@@wintertontoday He mentioned in a video a while back that having made money he felt he should dress better and so he went to a tailor to get his suits made. I still don't know why he wears the one with the leather patches on it.

One of the guys that started all this Pick Up Artist stuff, Mystery, said when you peacock, you have to be prepared to be called on it. Either with a clever retort or an intelligent explanation. Otherwise, you’re busted and the whole facade crumbles.

Hence why they advocate for grooming amongst one another

I agree. I used to dress fancy to impress. Now I dress very simply but clean cosy not too tight not too loose and I feel relaxed.

Because you are old and ready to die, so let the younger men enjoy enjoy the game.

I think when you're at home you can dress however you like - wear pajamas all day or a nice dress, whatever you feel like. But out in public, probably best for the occasion. At work you dress one way, out with friends to a special dinner, another. But I am a huge proponent to dressing up at home too sometimes, put on perfume, wear your jewelry. It's just nice to feel nice.

@@jurjcluners8490 @Jurj Cluners if you watch the entire clip about this topic you'll probably get it. The point is there are people who says he's wrong about it but in some parts of the world, the concept about clothing as status still existed, doesn't matter if you're living in a rich or poor country. Notice that he also pointed that it is really depends on what kinds of hierarchy you tried to fit in; which makes sense for me, since that is what i see in reality; like when celebrities wear custom clothing that worth millions, often impractical suits that is just purely vanity items.

How does one tell the difference from someone who wears a costume because they want to deceive, from someone wearing a costume because they actually are higher class?

@@meghanaabhyankar9151 You know, I can't accurately answer that. I don't know how I truly presented my Self to others except dressing well.

Hoodies do though -- god awful, ban them imo 😂 Edit: a hand-knitted woolen jumper, yes those are lovely.

@@thoughtfulalbatros9683 oh, thankyou for understanding

What tips do you have for starting to dress better?

You're exactly what Peterson is describing, and you don't actually make secure people think you have class.

I mean you are still doing what he is describing in the video. You might not be using it to deceive women and you generally enjoy dressing well, but society is such that dressing “above your station” so to speak is considered socially deceptive no matter your intent and people may judge you for it. So people that dress above their station have to work harder and be more charismatic to make up for people who might otherwise perceive them as being deliberately deceptive. The reason people get suspicious of people who dress “too well” is because sometimes it can signal ulterior motives… for example con men often dress well above what they can nominally afford because it helps to win over gullible people. If all you’re talking about is dressing in a suit that’s fine. Plenty of decent looking suits that aren’t super expensive. What people get suspicious of is dudes who dress in designer suits with multi-thousand dollar price tags - when they aren’t a celebrity, politician or high power executive or something.

What a thing to be able to say. There's just something about a well dressed man. It's more than the garments, it's how he carries himself. I bet you're looking sharp 😉. There's nothing deceptive about feeling like a million bucks and exuding confidence because of it.

@@ActuallyJamesS 1. Make sure your clothing fits you not to tight not too lose get them tailored or learn to tailor yourself a sewing machine some thread and some scissors and a seam ripper is all you need. 2. If your a t shirt guy try a henley or polo shirt, then try a casual button down. Only need to wear dress shirts when dressing in a suit you can wear your casual shirts with sports jackets and these can be paired with the pants I'm listing 3. Jeans (Dark wash blue, no mid wash and definitely no light wash for sartorial reasons) Chinos any colors just avoid overly bright tones. Odd trousers are always a win. Dress trousers come with a suit so wear them then. 3. Don't be afraid of textures. 4. Practice and have a default style of clothing you go for depending on your personality. 5. Give a damn. Start with these and your 90% of the way there.
