Putting on a Cocky Act (guys and girls)

Post Reply New Topic

Has this worked for anyone? I'm currently working with an acting coach who is helping me to get all sorts of body language and stances right. She's amazing, and I wish I had done this years ago. Thank Zeus for the GI Bill paying for all of it!

I have long had the ability to sound cocky. I just didn't the have body language to go with it before. 3 years in the military could not change something so hard-wired just by brute force. Now that I see I could perhaps develop it, is this a good dating strategy? At 6'2, 200 pounds, and athletic, I certainly have the looks for it.

I think women are attracted to hard, cocky men, and then later want a softer, more sensitive man for a relationship. So, as an act, this could work perfectly. Thoughts?

Maybe it could work for girls too. Letta Ortiz from Fast & Furious doesn't need much social finesse to look attractive.

Cocky and Funny works pretty badly if you are tall and or good looking. comes over as arrogant if you dont find the exact C & F sweet spot - which often people dont.

Your premise is true but women have experience and imo an act can only last so long.

However learning about your own b/l is a good idea.

i agree with answeraspergers^^^.

as a female, i use this type of body language to get people to stay the heck away from me sometimes. it works like a charm. it is like man-repellent.

Cocky/Funny, negs, pea-cocking, all overrated. It used to be unique, but everyone is doing it these days, even the girls.

It's an act, meaning it's not who you are, you are faking. Eventually you will break your character. At first they may figure you for a very strong, tough, and cocky man, but later on you might change far too much for their comfort and they could look at you very differently, it's all very confusing.

I think its a miracle she agreed with me. lol

Cocky and funny....na... Just have a sense of humour.
I have this cute Malaysian friend of mine whom I tease through text message all the time as she does to me. It's all in good humour and some tension even built up from it. She once texted to me "I gotta stop texting you so often, it's addicting " My response to that was "It's okay. I know I am irresistable " We can have our serious talks too. So yeah, forget cocky and funny and just mix your sense of humour with your soft side.
