I honestly never noticed that. In fact I would have said its the opposite, that they are more into alternative girls. Being a metal head myself I like feminine and sweet girls but I don't dress as a metal head (I look like a guy who would be happiest living in the woods to be honest (flannel, lots of it, jeans and boots. Nothing particularly metal about my style of dress), and I am more of an affectionate sort (I've been called "too innocent" by girls (Not sure why)).
Though metal heads themselves tend to be very laid back in my experience and heavy metal is more of a purge of those negative emotions so perhaps that is why it seems odd to you, because you are presuming that their musical tastes should extend to their every day life when it doesn't.
I'm a metalhead, and I do find girls whose photos you attached attractive, as well as other cute girls too. In fact, one of my ex-girlfriends looked very similar to the girl with pink hair. I guess what I like about them is the style of hair, make-up and clothes. Not to mention most of them listen to rock and metal too, which is a huge turn on too.
Also, they tend to be more open minded, which I like. Maybe the factor that we're both part of a subculture adds to it... probably.
This is my guess. I'm not an expert.
According to Helen Fisher, an anthropologist, she has a theory that people with high testosterone attracts people with high estrogen, and vice versa.

Don’t know why i always thought they liked alternative girls better but it's good to hear some like cute girls since I have a cute style and find alternative attractive *-*

It depends on the person's taste
I think that you are conflating sub genres. Metal and gothic subcultures are entirelly different. sure it would all come under the title 'alternative' but your guy example is certainly looks more pop punk/screamo than 'metal'. The girls are certainly not what I would call either metal or goth.
I could go into how there have been instances of some pretty sick revelations from certain celebrities of the alternative that could explain it but I wouldn't want to put that on an entire group that doesn't deserve it.
Metalheads are extreme people. They hyperidentify with masculinity. And as a counter, find hyper femininity highly attractive.
Cutesy styles are more feminine, so the result is Metalheads like cute women.
I've been a metalhead for 12 years now, and naturally, hang out with a lot of Metalheads. Which is how i've drawn my conclusion.
It's not something I've noticed before but that's very interesting... 🤔 I'm assuming it's to balance with personalities and allowing their unqine qualities to shine
because that's what's "alternative" nowadays. often those girls also listen to similar types of music too
Because opposites attract. Generally metal as a genre is an expression for raw and often aggressive emotions. The opposite would be a cute, feminine girl to that.
opposites attract. I am masculine and I am not attracted to masculine women. I dont know if I am attracted to the picture you posted but i like softer feminine girls.
Do you think that there is more to it than that? I do love Heavy Metal
The good girl/bad boy dynamic can be quite an attractive one loll.
Have no idea your ether goth or normal for me to like, none of this cute pastel ass shit lol
I didn't get your question
But now i do
And gothic metal head guys are not the only ones who like cute girls
Pretty much every guy likes some kind of cute girl I think.
Because the cute you are depicting is a bit strange, kind of like metal heads
They like that type because everyone likes that type
People are attracted to attractiveness for some weird reason.
Because it's true by definion, like what are you asking?
Because 90% of metalheads are nerds. And nerds like nerdy things like manga. Therefore women with a manga look are more pleasing to metalheads.
The same for why us guys go for them , their attracted and very cute we like them
A lot of metalheads and goth actually secretly like the cutesy stuff, but wouldn't dare be caught doing so themselves.
Your guess is as good as mine and I really don't care LOL
Just like those that drive around in their cars with their stereo bass rattling their cars and the neighborhoods as they go by, it has everything to do with their level of maturity.
