Teen Gothic

It’s like they only care about how you two would look as a couple, which really doesn’t matter. I’ve been running into this with both men and women. I’m a trans guy, but a lot of girls only want to be with me because they dress in pink and are very girly, and they’re like “we’d look so different and cute omg!” and the men are honestly the same.

None of these people are even into the music, they just like the aesthetic of having a partner who’s goth because it makes them look “cooler”, or something? I think it falls into the same vein of those guys who only want goth girls for fetish purposes.

I personally turn these people down, some of them are way more persistent than i like them to be though. I’m gay, but the women who like me are always SUPER persistent about it, even after i make it clear i’m not interested. I feel like many of us would like partners who are into the same music and have the same interests, (which many non-goth people would also like as well). People still tend to forget we’re real people and not like a lion in a cage for everyone to gawk at.

I do think this is pretty common, i just wanted to have a discussion about it, see if this is common with everyone else from different places.
