The 3 Rules to Become a Gray Man

There will be times when you need to avoid being noticed to avoid conflict. Being a "Gray Man" helps preventing making an impression which can help you survive.

"Blend in so much that no one even remember seeing you." I've been a Grey Man my entire life and didn't even know it.

[gewgulkansuhckitt]

Me and my fellow Gray Men had a Gray Pride parade. Nobody noticed.

The first rule is stay off social media.

When I started prepping I was more into tactical learning over the years I have learned the best way to win a conflict would be to not become a target to begin with. Blending is absolutely key.

"Be so bland and uninteresting that no one remembers you", well I'm gonna do great in the apocalypse

I learned the Gray man-thing early in life. My mom once made my bed with me still in it.

But what if a gray man notices another gray man, *illuminati music*

[angusmcprepper]

I dress like I'm homeless.
People look right through me.
Baggy, mismatched clothing and looking disheveled comes natural to me now.

We learned the gray man concept decades ago when I was going through military intelligence training school. They stressed that a good HUMINT agent does NOT look and act like James Bond. Strutting around in a Monaco casino in a tuxedo and driving hot sports cars just draws attention to you. We were taught that you strive to be inconspicuous to the point that you become psychologically invisible. You can pass someone in a store or on the sidewalk and two seconds later they could not give your description if their life depended on it. "Describe the man? WHAT man?" That is a true gray man.

When you grow up with abusive parents you learn to become a grey man real fast

Real gray people are who watched this video and didn't comment, no matter their thoughts about it.

My friend: uh, is that you?
Me: no.
Friend: yes it is! Why are you dressed like a bush?
Me: I'm not. Go away.

how do I come out to my parents as gray?

We did this in my psych class once. I stood in front of the class talking about a subject and explaining stuff. Afterward, I left the room. Then we told students to turn over their packet and begin answering questions. Problem was, all the questions were about me. It was fascinating after doing this twice and researching the stats of just what they remembered about me! Can u tell, I loved my psych classes?!! People don’t remember a thing when u dress to blend. Only half remembered I wore glasses, no one noticed I was wearing a college hoodie (because everyone wore them) and not one person could remember anything about my shoes.

The main thing I'm wearing right now that looks conspicuous is my tinfoil hat. Should I... take it off?

I'm just here to avoid social interaction

"Don't be intimidating"

When my pal Dave walked into a room it felt like someone had left. He was truly amazing.
