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.
Ah dude I love the style of those bands!
Except for Gary. We hate Gary.
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 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
Laid is laid. Also the crazy ones are objectively hotter.
I recall there being a warning about crazy
They also warn you about drugs. But drugs are awesome!
I have sex on drugs with crazy hot women pretty regularly! It feels great and is certainly maximizing pleasure and euphoria. There are downsides of a less stable life, unhealthy relationships, but the lack of boredom makes up for it.
There’s warnings about using credit cards too. Just because people warn you about it, that doesn’t mean that it’s always a bad thing. Use your better judgement to know when to go for it.
Chop a line of meth with your credit card for a euphoric time.
True but, they’re undeniably great in bed.
Sorry I’m not into women who are into that.
No BTGGF?
Nah, but the Harley biker is certainly a gay look
thank rob halford for bringing that look to the masses
Metal is my religion,
And Judas is my Priest.
I don’t know where I heard it but I think the sound of a Harley V-twin engine sounds a lot like a throaty man voice shouting
BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER LOOK HOW GAY I’M NOT BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER
On second thought I think I heard it from a canadian redneck madman on youtube. ZipTies&BiasPlies
wasnt that a joke on south park? or did they do a different joke making fun of the same thing?
Very similar joke for sure, maybe I combined the two in my head
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.
So, Ricky Nightshade?
You look at Jeff in that ep and tell me you wouldn’t and i’ll call you a filthy liar
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.
I’m trying to get back to rectangle, I passed on to deflated beachball…
YES.
Jeffrey! This better not awaken anything in me.

I go with black socks, black sandals, black cargo pants and black turtleneck all year around.
Well, I’ll change for combat boots when the snow comes.
Save some pussy for the rest of us.
Do you have any idea how much pussy you can get wearing this shit?
Eyes on your own work there super chief.
I’d say an average of two divorced house wives, one assistant school teacher, one confused undergrad and half a random barrista per year.
Well, that’s not exactly nothing, though it may not be the something you want.
Killin it
Which half of the barista do you get
Just the ass
I’m fine with that
Can confirm.
Well minus the ring. Can’t even imagine dusting that off again.
It really does increase the number of people that flirt with you, because it’s “safe” to flirt with you.
I took mine off recently and there’s this air of “Oh you’re single, nevermind.”
You should wear two wedding rings, it’ll double your number of flirts plus you’ll seem open to polygamy.

McMurray’s a piece of shit
My life is a series of unintentional Letterkenny references
I should probably watch it at this point
Every single McMurray is a hawtie. That one scene with him in his speedo got me swooning.
Where’s my pants preacher?
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.Try to complete your Gopnik style with a few items more.
You’d become unstoppable if you started walking while slav squatting.
Imagine if you wore a full track suit
That’s only for ceremonies
Peacocking
Oh baby baby. Come to momma.
That person is a mystery to me…
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.
When I was young I had so many hairstyles. I did ponytails, I did muffin-tops, I did mullets, I even did cornrows once. Having hair was fun.
The last time I grew my hair out I realized I was starting to look like Michael Bolton and chopped it off and donated it. Been shaved ever since. Growing up happens.
Yeah, if it gets to the point where the hair starts thinning that intensely, it’s better to just shave it off and bald is pretty awesome too! Don’t get me wrong. I was more so speaking from the vantage point of me and several of my female friends when we were teenagers and early 20s women. I’m neck deep into my 30s atm and at this point, looks matters very little. My boyfriend has very short hair and hasn’t worn band shirts for almost two decades but he’s still a total snack to me.
Unrelated to anything, but I just find this funny because I have had to talk to so, so many young men as an older guy who has done mentorship/coaching.
I’m neck deep into my 30s atm and at this point, looks matters very little. My boyfriend has very short hair and hasn’t worn band shirts for almost two decades but he’s still a total snack to me.
You and a hundred million women in their 30’s will repeat this sentiment all day every day. But the moment one ditzy college-age girl says on twitter that she prefers tall guys who wear expensive watches, suddenly an army of incels is born as that one take gets sent all the way to the top of every social media feed and carves out an entire new political movement.
Yeah. People like to be victims. It gives you a out of jail free card to not work on yourself if the world is against you. Doesn’t matter how true or false that is. If you want to find an excuse to not try and to victimize yourself at the same time, there is no limit.
There is sort of a sad poetic irony to the guys who value money and looks over anything substantial because they will spend all their time and energy on appearing rich and alpha and then they will bitch and moan when they can’t find a girl who loves them for them.
And saddest of all: they literally can’t see that all the things they hate women for are their very own values in life, projected onto the opposite sex.
I guess it’s a cultural thing, over here you’d instantly get labeled a social outcast or a gangster.
Where are you from? :D I’m Danish and here, being a long haired guy with band t-shirts mostly translates to “dude probably works in tech and is a massive nerd”
I wear black nail polish and skirts and still get zero pussy.
Aww dude. I wear kilts every day. I don’t even own pants. I paint my nails. Rather large stretched lobes and septum piercings. When it’s colder always knee high socks with crazy designs and moccasins. Usually an unconventional hairstyle brightly colored and big beard. I’m 50. I just truly quit giving a fuck what people think when I had a major illness a while back. I get hit on a lot for an old dude. More than I ever have in my life. It’s given me crazy confidence in my old age. My wife loves it.
I also stopped giving a fuck what people think. It’s kind of nice. I also like being different. I like kilts too, most of the ones I see are designed to be worn at the waist which I don’t really like. Most skirts are too but they’re usually more flexible so I can wear them at the hips. I’m glad you have people who support and encourage you. I think my mom and sister are getting used to my personal style.
I wear kilts at my hips. Fuck convention. Hahaha.
Fuck yeah. I need to go kilt shopping now.
I want one of these so bad. I like being fancy sometimes.

Same. Must be because I’m a woman, smh.
Nah plenty of women are into other women who dress like that. My SO for example.
I mean, you get at least ONE pussy.
I would think it would be easier, that being the case.
Okay, but how much dick do you get?
Only dick I like is my own
That must hurt your back, but power to you if you can pull it off!
power to you if you can pull it off!
Jesus fucking himself christ, that’s horrific
quietly laughing to death

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
I have thought long and hard about what would go into a mainstream, masculine nail-painting style that would actually catch on and be popular and add something to most men’s style, and not just young, waifish catboys with narrow hips, but would also benefit Carl down in accounting. (Rusty metal? Lumberjack plaid? little dicks painted on each?) And after that mental exercise I realized two things.
1 - Nothing we do as a species makes any sense and our attachment to social norms is never, ever going away.
2 - Gendered expression that isn’t just hanging a sign around your neck with an arrow pointing to your genitals is utter nonsense also. Why do so many people associate painted vestigial claws with femininity? If you paint your dog’s nails in a color you or others will start viewing your dog through gendered lenses. We are a silly creature.
Why give so many fucks about style? Who cares what anyone thinks right? Shouldn’t we all just dress comfortably and quit worrying about appearances? Focus on what matters? Meaning of course, our personalities and our humanity. People always wanna act like how we appear somehow matters. I hate vanity, which is why I dress plainly, rock a plain haircut, and don’t “express” myself through visuals even though I would “get more pussy” if I catered to society’s expectations. Instead I let my principles and morals shine through my actions, which actually have an impact on the world.
While nothing you said is incorrect from your own personal views and desires, avoiding fashion or stylistic expression is as much your own paradigm as someone who does choose to wear certain things or express themselves in certain ways. IE: choosing no style is also a style. You simply cannot escape self-expression unless you are utterly alone on an island, and it could be argued that even then self-expression will be valuable for preserving your sense of self.
Self expression and creating identity is just a human thing that we’re never going to get away from, nor should we unless we’re ready to like… become absorbed by some kind of hive-mind. We are social creatures, we literally can die without social identity.
I’d be outright ostracised, casted out, spat on if I showed up with painted nails/eye shadow to work here in England
It depends so much on regional norms.
Out on the West Coast of the US, painted nails on men is very common, while usually an indicator of an “alt” lifestyle or a particular attachment to fashion, it’s not entirely uncommon to see a dude in a suit with black nails and might only get a few passing comments like “Wow, you pull that off!” or “Haha, how does your wife feel about you using her cosmetics?” at worst.
But if you move East by one state boundary you literally might get cussed out or glanced at like a predator or worse, depending on how deep you go into small town mormon communities and the like.
I’m also in England, though in the South, where we’re all soft fairies.
And yeah, the response can be annoying, but the way I see it, I’m a gobby, fat, mostly-straight cis guy who’s married to a woman, so the abuse I might receive is nothing compared to some others. So if I can go any way at all towards helping to normalise something as benign as painted nails on a straight man, then I will.
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.
