Yes, absolutely. I chose the first option because we all know that everything is "sometimes, depending on the girl." If you would be attractive in all bubblegum pink, you will be attractive in all black. Goth and alternative is more of a lifestyle than just a look, so if the look genuinely expresses who you are on the inside, then people will receive your look well. Yes there will always be people who don't understand or think you worship the devil, but you have to be pleasant towards them if you want to help them better understand our community. But being different gives you an advantage that other girls don't because you'll be more noticeable and rememberable, something many guys are drawn to because guys like exotic women
I myself am goth and people tend to treat me much differently than other goths (but most of my friends are normal, so it's not like I hang out with a bunch of goths all the time). I wear some color and keep my natural hair; I don't wear a lot of makeup, but steal tips from my favorite goth YouTubers when I do. People I work with can't always tell I'm a goth yet they always comment on how I wear too much black lol. I tend to prefer the Victorian/romantic goth looks, but love to mix in punk, Steampunk, and pin-up. Most people describe my personal style as "vampire, but not intimidating"
In high school, kids were jerks to me about wearing scary band T-shirts, but people love my feminine gothic style now. They still tell me I'm weird and strange, but I get hit on a ton when I go out because I stand out from the crowd. So if you're somewhat attractive and wear gothic style as an extension of your personality rather than a statement, men will find you irresistible (so long as you're compatible personality-wise)
And that girl in the picture is hot. She was my ideal girl in high school that I wanted to look like. I even wanted to dye my hair that color, but ultimately decided that keeping my natural red hair color is more noncomformist lol. I love her look though, especially her hair and shirt
Sometimes, depends If they've got many piercings or whatever. I think Goths can be very attractive If they don't come off as too edgy. I enjoy wearing more alternate clothing too, but I don't think I'd find a girl with tones of piercings attractive but the girl In the picture Is certainly attractive.
In general speaking I don't find alternative styles aesthetically pleasing. That applies to both goth, emo, scene, punk and most other similar styles. I don't like exaggerated makeup or unnatural hair colors like green, blue, purple etc. Women tends to pull of alternative styles better than men though although I'm not a big fan on any of them.
There's a few exceptions though. I think when Eva Green played Vanessa Ives she looked beautiful although she was a goth. It was a classy Victorian goth look and the costume makers understood less is more. Her clothing, hairstyle, makeup and face looked really nice.
That's fair. Each to their own i suppose. If you liked the Eva green looked in that Victorian outfit I would highly suggest Crimson peaks as its do aesthetically pleasing
What I would like to know is: is being "alternative/goth" almost always a sub-culture for white people? I've never seen a black or Hispanic woman (or men) dressing Alternative/Goth. I think I might have seen a few Asian women, but no, not black or Hispanic women (or men).
@ultimega Thank you. Now I can say I know at least one non-white person who does Alternative/Goth. Keep on... Gothing? Alternating? Keep on being your fine self!
I used to be into that scene a little. But somewhat on the fringe.
The cool girls were into it for the freedom to be creative and their own selves-unbound by contemporary, or popular thinking of what a mainstream girl/woman should look and act like as it's defined by pop-culture and magazine covergirls. And, that's the best attitude to have.
But, I met more than a few who were way to angry all the time. The only wanted a "whipping boy*-not a real Boyfriend. And were way over the top; constantant downers because the were always hating on someone. I hated those girls. Because even if the had a terrible experience with life... get over it! Especially if you're around others who are also trying to embrace a counter-culture lifestyle for the right reasons.
* Centuries ago, like in Roman times. Rulers and Aristocrats had slaves that they would tie-up and whip bloody when they were angry at someone or something. That way the could exsize their anger like some kind of emotional therapy.
I think the fake goth girls, girls that dress up "gothic" for instagram or whatever the kids use these days can be attractive, it does sort of appeal to the edgy Matrix protag in me, but more often than not actual goth girls not that attractive, in my opinion. I did know one girl back in secondary school, what the Americans would call "high school" (because everyone just smokes weed haha) who was very attractive and she was a goth girl. But mostly it's the ones in pictures that are attractive, not so much in real life.
Dependents on the girl, and on the level of gothness, but generally I don't have problem with gothness. Also long hair and big boobs tend to be alternative regardless. :)
Sometimes because the majority I’ve come across were SJWs and they were whack but JUST looks wise I think some can be endearing. Especially the Victorian steam punk kind of goths.
I chose yes because the girl/girls are trying to do things a little bit differently.. I personally find Different attractive. compared to others out there.. .. these girls are NO FAKE TAN and FALSE everything (hair.. eyelashes.. tits. Nails.) etc.. etc.. etc.. Alternative/Goth wins all day long...
