"average" high school girl obsessed with gender-bending goths...

There's going to be a lot of labels in this post, but bear with me:

I am a senior in high school who dresses in very feminine and conventional clothes, mostly from Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, etc, you know. I'm one of those girls that wears lots of colors, bright nail polish and jewelery, layers, sweaters, scarves and such. I guess "indie" or "hipster" would be what I look like. I'm a very outgoing person and have friends from all different social groups.

However, as far as dating goes I've only been romantically involved with people who are clean cut and dress in ways similar to myself (I'm bisexual FYI.) This hasn't really been an active decision, and I don't think that how someone looks or dresses should define why you date them, but I STILL can't help that...

I am absolutely obsessed with and extremely attracted to guys and girls who are goth, especially feminine looking boys. I'm not talking about the "emo" look, I mean kids who wear heavy makeup, black lipstick, trench coats, PVC, leather, chains, you name it. I love it all. Maybe it's because of my sexuality, but I'm also really into goth guys who cross dress and I find attractive men in women's clothing to be very arousing. I can't tell anyone about this because all of my friends will think I'm messed up.

So, I'm wondering if I'm normal, but what I want to know more is: am I crazy? Would a hardcore goth actually be interested in a five-foot-three blonde indie kid? What about a cross-dressing goth guy? I'm guessing no, but that's ok. I'll just keep on dating indie and preppy jock guys and girls that drink Starbuck's and wear skinny jeans. Nothing wrong with that either!

    Well as a goth girl I wouldn't date a guy that's not like me. and my none of my guy friends would have dated a girl like you. I'm not saying you can't get a guy like that because I'm sure you might be able too...... every guy is different so just keep you head up and just try talking to a few guys that catch your eye you will find one that likes you ^_^

    1. 5' 3" for a girl is great. most guys who are average (5' 9")-really tall (maybe 6' 5") like shorter girls. im 6' 1" and i like girls who are just above my shoulder height. i dont like my woman being as almost as tall/as tall/ or taller than me. thats weeeiiiird

    2. there is one thing you should know about guys (and i get this knowledge from myself and all the males ive known through out my life). we will go out with any chick we find attractive no matter what style of dress. and a cute little hipster, skinny jean wearing chick sounds great to me as long as shes not an annoying bitch.

    3. being bi is a plus. we want to have threesome and if thats a possibility he will be happy.

    and lastly. dont assume all these faggy goth dudes are all dark and mysterious and bullshit like that. 99%% of them are going through a phase and will grow out of it. and they never get laid by any chick with confidence in herself, so they are all akward and lame.

    hope this helps.

    Girl, you never know what you might find. I say get to know some of the goth guys you are attracted to then zero in on one. Make sure he likes girls. Also, he could be a virgin or very inexperienced, so be prepared for that.

    Hi , I think what you like is normal. It's your own perogitive. :) . I myself as a male like wearing women stockings and panties. Black of course. For some reason it turns me on alot. Soft silky feeling. If you would like to see pics send me an email at [email protected]

    I wish I knew you and was young enough to be your boyfriend. I would do it again at the possibility of having that openminded and accepting female with me to go thru the ups and downs and the question and answers of it all. You will make some guy very happy someday, but you have to be able to talk to someone about what you really like in order to find what you really like. If they think your weird, they are not worth being your friend. I had friends find out by accident about me being a crossdresser and most of them treated me the same. The others I lost contact with or am no longer friends with them. Hold your head high and dont be afraid to be yourself, isnt that what you would tell guys that want to crossdress and go out in public ?

    It's normal to want taboo things.

    I think sort of emo-ish girls can be really hot in their own sort of way.
    Go after 'em!

    In high school, it does not matter who or what you are. No one gives a shit afterward anyway. Also, no one can tell you what or who you are attracted to so it is not unusual to be attracted to feminine looking guys. Besides, there are more cross dressing guys out there than you think :) they would be more than happy to be with you. I am a cross dresser and have photos of myself in my feminine clothes if you are interested.

    There's nothing wrong or weird about how you feel. You don't have to date within your 'subculture' - especially considering that subcultures don't really mean much nowadays.

    I'm similar to you, except for the other side: I'm a bit of a 'goth' girl (though I'm more Haute Macabre than leather & chains) and I really like indie hipster dudes with glasses and facial hair. Nothing wrong with that! In fact, there tends to be a bit of musical overlap as well. :)

    This in mind, it's much easier to date within your subculture. I've been part of the goth scene and they tend to be a bit of a close minded and often pompous bunch. While, a lot of the androgynous looking goth dudes ARE straight or bi, many of them will probably avoid or look down on you if you look a hipster. It seems stupid, but it's true - so your chances really are limited. :/

    If you're really obsessed with snagging an effeminate goth dude, I'd suggest going to a club if/when you're old enough.

    Yeh, this is completely normal. Everyone has different preferences and likes different things, because after all, no two people are the same.
