A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Those guys are cool and some of us men can not be like them. However, saying there is nothing sexy about wearing Nike is wrong. Nike does look good in certain situations. At a nice rap concert or at a party where people don't want to dress too edgy. Don't knock Nike. It's still cool even if some of you don't like it.
I can't say I think so, but if you do, have at it amigo.
Of course girl with a goth profile picture and spiders in her name thinks goth style is hot.
In the meanwhile my bald head and nike sweatpants attract eastern european girls like a lamp with moths. You catch what you fish for.
Imagine if you wore a full track suit
That's only for ceremonies
Try to complete your Gopnik style with a few items more.
So, Ricky Nightshade?
The problem is most average looking men, when bedecked in goth shit, look like Bluey got run over by a Spencer's truck.
The dude in everyone's imagination wearing black makeup and jewelry looks like a strung-out rockstar with don't-give-a-fuck vibes who lives for adventure and wild nights. The vast majority of ACTUAL men have the body-shape of a rectangle and have to spend most of every day waiting in lines, attending Zoom calls, explaining to customers why their wifi doesn't work (Reset the router Ethel, no that's not a router, you're holding an egg steamer.)
We gotta abandon the idea that people have "looks" at all times. Lets repopularize costume parties so guys get a chance to try to dress-up without it being some kind of shocking change to their entire persona. I had a stiff, straight-edge boss who attended a Halloween party and went goth. Completely unrecognizable, he was a legend.
Yeah, you can't wear the same thing every single day unless it blends in with everybody else.
I had a goth friend who would always get laid without much trouble. At some point he got a normal job and had to "become a normie", and I learned that it wasn't because he was a goth, it was because he was a complete asshole with women, and some women, for some reason, can't resist assholes.
Being an asshole implies confidence.
Women like confidence.
Certain women like asshole confidence. Typically the type to write "I'm a bitch, deal with it" in their bios
I've known many women who were very nice and intelligent, who dated assholes. Usually they end the relationship thinking "ugh, why did I do that? That guy was such an asshole."
They do this because women are human, and do the very human thing of making mistakes and regretting them.
Too much effort to maintain a look. I would rather feel good then look good at this point in my life.
The Danes, thanks to their habit to comb their hair every day, to bathe every Saturday, to change their garments often, and set off their persons by many such frivolous devices. In this manner, they laid siege to the virtue of the married women, and persuaded the daughters even of the nobles to be their concubines.”
Nike dudes even starting to get the monk haircut.
Nah, but the Harley biker is certainly a gay look
thank rob halford for bringing that look to the masses
Ah yes, the leather daddy BDSM iconic gay "look" that these totally hetero men who go on long trips together to scenic areas without women, and with vibrations the whole way to excite the twig and berries, and a nice massage to relax the rear end.
Bigger stretch than professional wrestling, but not much.
God fearing, homosexual hating trailer park kids don't realize that watching two oiled up men in spandex is.... well, pretty fucking gay. Not meant to be disparaging, I just mean the only things missing are penetration and a money shot.
I - a bloke - sometimes paint my nails. If they're still painted when I go to work you can guarantee I'll get a few comments from guys questioning whether they "should be worried" around me*. Meanwhile, the few women who work there think it's wonderful and have offered to do them properly for me. _ *they needn't be worried. My standards aren't that low
When guys ask if they should be worried around you, do they expect women to be worried around them?
Yes. And women should be worried around them.
Do you have any idea how much pussy you can get wearing this shit?
I'd say an average of two divorced house wives, one assistant school teacher, one confused undergrad and half a random barrista per year.
Eyes on your own work there super chief.
Can confirm.
I've let several women do my make up and they're always super enthusiastic that I'm down for that.
Internalized homophobia is a hell of a thing to overcome. Some guys think those things are gay because that's what they were told by figures of authority.
Source: was raised as one of those guys.
Prince will steal your girl, then steal her clothes, then steal someone else's girl in those clothes
It's not gay, I'm just not goth. Also you can get quite far by not being a twat and knowing when to roll your sleeves up.
People should do what they are comfortable with, but yes, if a guy wants to attract women, this is definitely a way to get what he wants.
I was part of the alternative scene and I also thought the goth-boy aesthetic was very attractive. All the girls did. To me, the most attractive thing a man could do to his appearance was to let his hair grow long. Like past the shoulders long.
Didn't have to put on make up and jewelry. Just have long hair and you could be fat or skinny, pretty or ugly. Didn't fucking matter. I'd look. If Henry Cavill walked down the street next to a nerdy guy with long hair, I would look at the nerd everytime. If he wore band t-shirts and military boots, it was game over. Only way a guy could fuck it up for himself with me was if he started the nice guy routine or was so socially awkward he couldn't talk to a girl. I have experienced both. The latter was a full date where the guy didn't say a word to me once and I was the one who had walked 20 km to get to his place because he had social anxiety and couldn't leave his home. Poor guy. I hope he's doing better today.
Can you imagine just walking around in modern society looking dolled up like a member of Poison? I'm sure they didn't even go around like that every day.
Could be cool to live in a society where people do wear leather.
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
Could probably get lots of dick too. I yanked it to the Poison album cover for about a year before I learned that they were dudes, and then like maybe three more months
I mean, it maybe wasn't gay, but was definitely a reference to something hellish, depraved, opposed to common morality, weak, like that.
Because back then it clearly meant protest against authority, against hierarchy, against stereotypic masculinity, against war, against evil covered by normalcy.
In some sense it's an intentional show of vulnerability, that look.
And I'd take that over Kipelov in Russia every day, that moron who doesn't fucking understand what rock music is.
Way to share your kink, sis. Mines biting people with brains. Everyone’s unique.
kinky...
I don’t know if I’ve got a big enough sample size, but the only guys I know who wear black nail polish are creepy Marilyn Manson types who mainly get laid with girls they met in their therapist’s waiting room
