Peacockin'

I was talking to Nate last night, telling him about how I like to observe how people flirt with one another. Basically, they are "peacocking" or "trying to look better than they are". Women like to "chill with the boys". That in itself is not a bad thing, but watch what they do. They'll dress a little skimpy, grab a beer, sit back and act like nothing in the world could bother them. Then, a guy thinks, "Wow. She's so chill. I could hang out with her and drink beer all day." No worries guy. You'll get to hang out with her alright; however, once you're in a serious relationship, forget chilling and drinking beer. Just watch what happens when you bring a fattening 6-pack home from the store. Now, you're a pig for trying to make her fat. "What about the night we met?" you ask. Well, now you know, she's a "drink beer with the guys" girl. Go see what she drinks with her girlfriends.
Now on to the men...
The guys do the real "peacocking". Just ask them what they do for a living and listen to how they're "going somewhere". Yes, guys like to put on that they are going to be really successful and make tons of money. Guys simply like to be the money-makers and the providers so they'll try to sound like that's who they are. He'll slide his chair over and tell you all about his business ventures. Success is most certainly around the corner. It may get tiring to hear him talk all about himself, but some girl will get trapped into his magic. She'll go to his rap show, photography studio, premiere of whatever, business website, and probably find out that he's terrible at what he does. Too late, you're already in deep. Good luck with your man who's "going somewhere".

Stipulations of application:
*Applies mostly to desperate 20-somethings.
*Can apply to the ridiculously good-looking who are just as desperate sometimes.
*If a girl enters a beer-drinking contest to impress you, RUN!
*If a guy gives you a business card on your first meeting, flee FAST!

How do I know?
Obviously, this does not apply to everyone. However, you know these people. Don't even pretend like you don't. I have observed this from: sitting at restaurants, stories from friends, personal experience with the men part, working on movie sets, and just walking down the street.
So, beware out there!
