Prince will steal your girl, then steal her clothes, then steal someone else's girl in those clothes

This depends on the guy. Some can pull it off, others can't. I'm one of those who can't. If I put on make up, I wouldn't look goth, I would look like a serial killer lol

[–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago

It's not so much about looking "goth" but learning how to augment whatever natural attractiveness you've got and demonstrating a level of self-assuredness and self-awareness. Knowing what works for you is part of that.

"Goth" just happens to be a very bold and somewhat easier style to look decent. A more "nude" look is, counterintuitively, pretty difficult but there's almost no masculine individuals who wouldn't benefit from it.

Can confirm.

I've let several women do my make up and they're always super enthusiastic that I'm down for that.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 40 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

It's SO hot. A man in touch with that side of himself is sexxxxxxxy.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 17 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Top half, even the watch, all women's clothes from the thrift.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Looking good! I’d have no idea.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I was in Atlanta for the 2000 New Years celebration and I randomly bought a red and yellow zoot suit to wear, with matching shoes. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE gotten more attention from women than that night.

Well, there's two ways that could go. You could be 'that we>rdo, mike i think' or 'pharoah mike'.

Build a mythology about why. Tie it into local values. You lost a bet and then liked it?

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 7 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

bro I'm talking about queer-stomping throw Matt Shepard into the fence and kill him, country. the only way that's going is to a bad time. I like your idea, I'm just not trying it here

I'd be more interested in painting my claws if it didn't manage to smell so. Considring you're literally smearing it on your body to sit for several weeks, you'd think they'd have developed less toxic formulas that don't smell like you tipped over the entire Tamiya display at the hobby shop.

Way to share your kink, sis. Mines biting people with brains. Everyone’s unique.

It's concerning that you had to clarify with brains

Men at some point decided to abandon style, and the result has been rather tedious. BRING BACK STYLE, EVEN BOMBASTIC STYLE

Best of both worlds: use black nail polish to get gay trans guy pussy

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 11 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (3 children)

I do that but I only get 1 (one) pussy. It's my wife's, so it's plenty for me.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

1 you can get infinite times is better than a million different pussies.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

That is one durable pussy in a very long lasting universe.

Upvote for this guy loving his wife very much, specifically. It really is plenty, isn't it?

(If I didn't have that point to make, this comment would have been a "that guy's wife's pussy is plenty for me as well" joke.)

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 14 hours ago

1 × X = X × 1. One pussy multiple times is lots of pussy!

As others have said - this is not really how to get girls to be into you. This is one particular person's fetish. They like goth-y, androgenous guys.

If you are a goth-y, androgenous guy, and you have wanted to wear black eyeliner but felt nervous about it and have been putting it off - here's your cue. Go do that.

If you aren't, then don't do that. It might help you out a little since, as OP implies, it will make you stand out. But since you aren't presenting yourself, but rather a charicature of someone else, you will feel inauthentic in the look, women will notice that you feel weird, and you won't be much better off than you started. Maybe worse off, if your normal outfit was already working.

In the... Let's call it the "autistic guys getting laid community", there is a lot of chatter around "archetype". How you dress and style yourself is a conscious decision you make every day, and it is how you make your first impression on any women you want to sleep with. So if you were to introduce yourself to a sexy somebody, what would you want to tell them about yourself? Well, first you need to tell them that you give enough of a shit about what you look like to put some time into looking good. Next, you'd want to tell them interesting things about yourself - what you value, what your job or hobbies are, what communities you are part of. But at the same time, you want to make sure you are communicating well - putting together an outfit based on "I just like it" and "this has something to do with who I am" is like introducing yourself in mandarin to a girl in Barcelona. Fitting your outfit to something that is immediately understandable within your broader culture is called dressing to your "archetype". Are you a skateboarder? Then dress like a skateboarder - stylishly ripped jeans, t shirt, flannel, beanie. A businessman? Wear a suit or a polo. A communist revolutionary? Rock your Che beret!

What makes women universally cream themselves? Say it with me: confidence. And a confident man is going to dress in a way that stands out and expresses who he is, because he knows that this is a great way to attract others to him who are similar. So: look good; look different; look like something identifiable.

What about blue jeans and solid colour tshirts with no logos like a cartoon character

Early 00s were a great time. I rocked those painted nails and eyeliner 🤘 along with the baggy jeans, chains and spikes

Nowadays all I dress in is luminous shorts and anxiety 🤘

Ohhh, that's the reason why The Sandman always looked so tired and kinda damp all the time... He was nearly drowning. 🤌🏼

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I’m too old, out of shape, bald, and too much gray hair to pull off goth. Though somewhere out in the universe is a photo of an 18-yo me dressed as Frank from RHPS. Make-up, died hair, fishnets… the whole nine.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 16 points 20 hours ago

You'd be surprised, man. Go to any metal or rock concert and you'll see guys matching your description pulling it off.
