But wait! Before you make like Don Juan, I'd like to give all of you a few
pointers. As a goth chick who gets approached frequently by normal guys, I see
the same mistakes repeated over and over, and they don't get more endearing
as time passes. Let me help you avoid these pitfalls, and we may be getting
together for dinner sometime soon. :)
The first thing to keep in mind is, although you may have come to the goth club
hoping to meet goth chicks, chances are, she didn't come to the goth club hoping
to meet normal guys. Don't assume she's as excited to meet a normal person as
you are to meet a freak. She came to meet and interact with other goths. So
you're working with a handicap.
Bearing that in mind, you're going to need all the advantages you can get! Read
on to find out what you need to know.
First, a little prep work. Have you been going to the
club in shorts and a flannel shirt? Shame on you! How did you get past the bouncer?
Try something a little classier, something that will fit in with your surroundings
while catching the eyes of the pretties.
Black jeans and a black T-shirt are okay, but don't stand out from the crowd.
Pick up a black silk dress shirt (goths love "pettable" clothing,
and it encourages people to touch you) or maybe some accessories, like a bondage
belt or interesting silver necklace. Goths are noncomformists, but dressing
to fit the mood of the club is a sign of respect for our community that is definitely
appreciated by all.
But don't stop with the superficial. Learn something about the subculture.
