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.

I wear black nail polish and skirts and still get zero pussy.

Same. Must be because I'm a woman, smh.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I would think it would be easier, that being the case.

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

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.

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.

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 🤘

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

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

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Laid is laid. Also the crazy ones are objectively hotter.

Then all you need is a weird, feathery top hat and you'll be just like that pickup artist guy on MTV.

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.

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 17 points 1 week ago

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

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

Too much effort to maintain a look. I would rather feel good then look good at this point in my life.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LITTLE I CARE ABOUT PUSSY THOUGH

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.
