my thoughts
I personally like peacocking. I look for things that give girls an opportunity to comment about... for me, it's not simply about standing out; you could do that by wearing underwear on your head.
Rather, I work on getting noticed initially for my demeanor, looks, and the way I carry myself. I use peacocking items so the woman will have an excuse to approach me without making herself vulnerable.
Think about it, AFC's run into this problem approaching girls all the time. When an AFC sees a gorgeous girl, he looks for something to compliment her on. After all, saying "hey, nice shoes" is a lot less risky than, "Hi, my name's AFC and I find you really attractive". The problem is, too many guys open with "hey nice shoes"-esque comments, so girls are wise to it. As PUA's, we've created canned openers (e.g. "can I get a female opinion") to fill in the gap.
Girls, however, can still get away with the "hey, nice shoes" kind of bit. Therefore, you want to make it easy for them. By wearing cool, wierd, or unique stuff out, we are making it easier for them to make a low risk comment, like "hey, nice rings".
That said, I'm currently using bracelets for peacocking. I went to Urban Outfitters and saw these rubber band things they sell to go around beer cans. They look alot like the rubber band bracelets that are really popular right now, but they say things like "egomaniac", "high maintenance", "tease", "slut", "control freak" , etc.
Girls comment on them occasionally. Once they've opened, I can work my magic... and it's a lot easier because they are the pursuer, not me.
That's my two cents at least.
