Do you find alt woman attractive?

[Anonymous]

Alternative women, like goth, punk, cottagecore, or anything not mainstream "normal" style. Do you find any attractive? (I know nobody dresses all-out every day, but assuming like seeing someone on their way to an event you may see them dressed up more than usual.)

Or do you only like women who have one of the regular styles? (I know there are different ones, but you know what I mean: ones you can get at most clothes stores.)

“Those are goths…. Those are nerds…. I don’t know what they are…”

”What the fuck are THOSE things?”

”I’m so confused right now…”

Lmao, just goofin’, but I’m saying I only know goths and punks, there’s all kinds of new shit that wasn’t around when I was younger😝

Anyway…I’d say I typically go for a little more mainstream women, but not really on purpose. Like I don’t have any tats or piercings or anything, but there are plenty of those kinda throwback LA rocker type girls I’ve seen out there with all the tats and look like they would’ve hung out with Motley Crüe back in the 80s, lmao, and if they’re hot, they’re hot. Put it like this, I probably wouldn’t run in the same circles with and be exposed to some of this niche -styled women…. but if I were, their personal style, at least on an aesthetic level, wouldn’t deter me and I don’t think in most cases would make me less physically attracted to them. Maybe some exceptions along the way, but for the most part, I don’t think I’d find attractive alt women LESS attractive for the reason of them being alt.

The ''styles'' that you mention do not look ''alternative'' to me.

Why: because they still attempt to match a certain 'image' - which makes them different from mainstream, but still a copy of their own group expectations.

Nice try - but... failed somehow.

I do prefer alternative lifestyle and life views; but without a smart and individualistic person attached to it, I don't see the point.

And also... a smart and individualistic ''normal'' person can be as attractive.

''Alternative'' is not about a certain outfit... it's about a certain mindset :)

[Asker]

I'm talking about alternative styles, so yes, they are trying to match that specific style and not make up a completely new or unique one. The reason it's called an alt style is just because it's not the most common one. Anyone can be smart and individualistic and have an alternative life view, no matter what their style is.

I'm just asking about appearances right now.

[andreasderjuengere]

Got that. With this in mind... I'd have no issues to be seen with someone like this. As long as she's basically matching my body type preferences.

[emeraldsaphire]

Well I can't say I find them attractive, but I love the look! I tend go for a cottage core, steam punk or elf core myself.

[Daniela1982]

Uhhh...

[Asker]

I've never met anyone into clowncore personally, but if that's the only kind you like i won't judge.

[Daniela1982]

You would have to see the show to appreciate it and the Wayans Brothers. Jim Carey also got his start on that show.

[AI Opinion]

Alternative styles like goth, punk, and cottagecore can be incredibly attractive! They're unique and often express individuality and confidence, which is always appealing. I think the charm in alternative styles lies in the creativity and boldness of expressing oneself differently. It's all about the vibe and how it fits the person's personality! 🌟

[Wraith_Cemetery]

They're the only kind of girls I find attractive. "Normal" people are boring. I'm part of the medieval, victorian, 1920s/1940s vintage crowd so the girls I find attractive are also part of that. Life's too short to just look like everyone else.

[hahahmm]

Nah. My wife dresses in classic styles that she could walk into any office building in... looking good but not like a desperate street hooker. Your example pics are all bad too. Those are all very meh/weird looking women in outfits. Could even be some dudes in there but I didn't look too close.

[Asker]

There are dudes in the background of one picture, yes. Don't see why that would make the woman look bad, they're not even with her. I understand most people have only certain styles they find attractive personally though

[hahahmm]

No, I meant some of the "women" in the pics might be dudes. That's the age we live in.

[Asker]

No, the image description all said woman. More androgynous looks are common in a lot of alt styles though so I understand why you could question. I will probably ask a question about alt men also so if you want to see some pictures of men in similar style, you can look that up also.

[hahahmm]

Hmmm. When I was younger we had goth chicks... they were still CLEARLY women. At some point I guess a switch happened

[Asker]

I mean these are all wearing skirts/dresses and heels, which are still pretty feminine gendered clothes. Maybe that's why it wasn't confusing to me.

[hahahmm]

But the clothes aren't what makes one a woman!

[Asker]

No, but there is nothing else besides the style of the clothes that makes them look different than any other women. So if it wasn't that that confused you then what did?

[hahahmm]

Faces and context. The first two (from left to right) have faces that could easily be dudes in drag. The third one is possible to but more feminine looking. In the context of this modern age we BELIEVE NOTHING we see, trust nobody... question everything. Ha ha ha ha.

[Asker]

That sounds like you way more than the images. Any woman could be a dude in drag if you already suspect that. That's just projecting your personal beliefs (or trust issues I guess) onto random women's faces.

[hahahmm]

I disagree with your claim. A guy in drag cannot look like 'any woman'. Secondly, I said "the first two have faces that could EASILY be dudes" - in other words, if they looked different I wouldn't think they were dudes. As far as me projecting my "personal beliefs" -- well yeah, I mean part of the point of an opinion is that I put it out there. That said, lots of guys agree that there's many fake women out there today. It's not just a figment of our imagination. And you know that. Trust issues? Well yeah.. what idiot would trust everything they see. HA HA HA HA HAHA MUAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HOO HO HO HO!!!

[Asker]

Yeah, most women could easily look like a man if they wear the right clothes and style themselves certain ways. The same is true for most men. That's why I said any (I'll admit it was slight exaggeration, as there are some few men and women that are too perfect stereotype looking like their sex to look like the opposite sex even with a good style fix for it). By personal beliefs or trust issues I meant you being paranoid that any woman who you deem suspicious could reasonably be assumed to be a dude in drag, despite that even if drag queens didn't mainly just dress like that for a job they'd still be very uncommon to run into irl.

[hahahmm]

And yet, had you picked better faced women for your example pics I would not have had the opinion that they could be dudes.

[Asker]

What do you mean "better faced"? What do you think is wrong with these women's faces?

[Asker]

Nobody else was confused about their gender except for you.

[hahahmm]

Because the world is full of people who have been programmed today. You're one of those too.

[Asker]

So what is wrong with their faces? What have I been programmed to ignore that you saw and confused you about these 3 women?

[ohsheeT]

I find girls that are different willing to take a chance that are confident within themselves they don't care what they wear or what people think because they know who they are on the inside that's what I find attractive because that means they're different in every aspect every way and that's a good quality

[NathanDavis]

some of that can be attractive and/or interesting...

but I go more with the person than I do with their looks

[genericname85]

Visually they can be pretty nice. But typically they have something about their character that's a deal breaker

[Asker]

What character flaw have you found that is common to alt women specifically?

[genericname85]

crippling self esteem issues, narcissism, depression, bipolar or morbid obesity. obviously not "all" of them had some big issue. at least not as far as i could tell from the time knowing them but it was a pretty common theme.

[Asker]

Wow the majority of alt women you've known have had issues so severe? That's unfortunate, hopefully having a style they like can make their lives a little more enjoyable at least.

[genericname85]

I don't know. i'm not a psychiatrist xD

[Asker]

How do you even know they had some of these problems if you're not a doctor?

[genericname85]

I mean bipolar, morbid obesity and crippling self esteem issues are pretty obvious if you know someone who has it. Narcissism is not so easy to see for a layman but they are least had strong narcissistic behavioral patterns. Doesn't mean they are a narcissist as in clinically diagnosed but I still don't like them xD

[Asker]

You can just say they are insecure and arrogant then, why would you use medical terms as character flaws when you can just use regular words like everyone else who isn't a doctor?

[genericname85]

no insecurity and arrogance doesn't quite ammount to narcissistic behavior in my opinion. that's less bad. i use the term narcissist, cause it's a regular laymans word. i just clarified i'm not using the "medical" meaning of the word.

[Asker]

No, when it's used as an insult it does not carry the same weight at all of its medical use. People use narcissist to mean all sorts of things from actual symptoms to just plain being rude. If you met someone who was just rude that's fine, most people don't like rude people, but I dont see the point in using medical terms as I'd you're using them seriously when you're really just using as basic insults. That's disrespectful to people who you're assuming their condition and to people who actually do have those conditions.

[genericname85]

I don't care really. I told you what I think and I explained myself. Think of it what you like

[BoobMan]

As always with questions like this, the specifics matter. The left and right pics are disastrous, but the girl in the middle looks attractive.

[Asker]

What about each style example makes them so different in appeal to you?

[Staximus]

I would not date a woman who dresses like it's Halloween everyday, that's a sign of mental illness

[Asker]

I didn't ask if you would date one I asked if you found any attractive, but I'll take that as a no anyway. What mental illness have you found that's common to alt women specifically?

[Unit1]

I do

[Smashingdoozy]

Yes. Maybe because I am alt but I still love people who wear alt style

[RavVid]

I do. I just associate effort in dressing with femininity and consequently it is attractive to me. Within limits.

[MysticDevice]

I do. Not neccessarily because of the look itself but because it radiates personality and creativity. Both are traits I look for.

And yes because it looks cool.

[Med_guy1978]

Nice to see something out of the 'ordinary' and alternative as long as she looks nice and feminine looking.

[exitseven]

I sort of do. I guess if she is hot it doesn't matter what she wears

[ProbablyClueless]

Sometimes goth can look good, but I mostly don't go for alt styles.

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, I do sort of like alt girls.. Especially if they know how to style it really good..

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sure, I'm not a normal person, I don't seek for normal either so it's all good

[LiamJHayden]

I find individual ladies attractive, generally based off personality. She might look super quirky/alt or be a complete normie.

[art84]

Probably not as I am not into goth, punk styles.

[Hellraiser1984]

Hell yes. I'll take them over the cookie cutter yoga pants women any day.

[Anonymous]

I do, some of them, though I don’t dress that way

[Fireguy17]

there are so many of them now that they are no longer unusual/different.

[Asker]

If that were the case then most clothing stores would switch up to make more money by selling mainly to the new biggest styles. That has not happened. Some have become more popular than they used to be for sure, but that doesn't make them the main popular styles.

[Fireguy17]

not the exact clothes, but the style, it just all blends in together.
as an example, when the pre ripped jeans came out they were unusual, now they are the norm and you no longer notice them but you now tend to notice unripped jeans.
It's the overall style is no longer different.

[Asker]

You definitely don't notice unripped jeans... yeah ripped jeans are good example of become popular. There are elements that have become popular from different styles too. The whole style together is still considered alt. That's what I'm talking about, not someone who uses some pieces but someone who's whole wardrobe and style is that way. They would not stand out in a group of other alt people but would look different to the "average" woman. That's why I'm asking, to see if the average man would still find that style attractive or not. Based on replies so far it seems like a toss-up, which makes sense and is expected.

[disappoint3d]

sexually? yes. but they usually are very eccentric individuals.

[Samos-69]

If I’m really attracted to them then it doesn’t phase me unless they have a terrible personality,

[Anonymous]

yes, they get me really hard, especially the style from the left and the haircut gosh I just adore them

[Anonymous]

Those second two look like Drew Barrymore on a bad day...

[4ngelic]

alt girls are hot

[AviatorTom]

Some Yes, Some No.

[red-lipstick-girl]

No, it seems ridiculous to me.

[Anonymous]

I love it all
