    Some women just have no class at all. Some think that wearing skimpy hardly there clothing makes them look sexy. It might be sexy if you live in a trailer park.

    If you know what you are doing you will look sexier while still covering up. It sends the message that you are a sexy classy woman. I think most men are more attracted to that then a woman with everything hanging out, like some trailer park trash. It definitely isn't the type of woman they want for a long-term relationship.

    This is what I miss about the fashions of the 40s and 50s...sensual elegance!

    Goth culture is pretty ephemeral. There's not really a glimmer of a philosophy underneath it, like there was with the punks or the hippies. I suppose its shallowness is what defines it, which makes it appropriate to this era. It's about fashions in clothing and cosmetics that make the people look gloomy and depressed.

    Even their music, which since the 1950s has generally been the strongest identifier of a subculture, has no coherence. The top three Goth bands are probably The Cure, Evanescence and Type O Negative. I'm a musician and even I have trouble discerning any commonality among them. The Cure has been playing for 25 years and many of their songs are perfectly upbeat and happy. Evanescence is so optimistic that they were played on Christian radio until they called them "the fucking Christians" in an interview to make them stop.

    Robert Smith of The Cure defines Goth fashion, with his black lipstick and nail polish. But I just saw them in concert a few months ago and there were very few people in the audience who were dressed and made up to match, even though everybody but me knew all the lyrics to all their songs.
    No. Goths are all light-skinned. Looking like you've never been outdoors in the daylight is part of the uniform. African-Americans get into plenty of weird stuff, but it's completely different weird stuff.
    Geeks are smart, technically savvy, and lacking in social skills. They don't dress up because they have no idea how to put an outfit together.
    Since it's so much about clothing and makeup, clearly it's a demographic that's going to attract more women than men, and for the most part the men are not going to be highly visible. I've never heard of a correlation between Goth and gay. I suppose they have the same ten percent as any other group.
    Remember, "Goth" is all about appearance. There's no substance. Goths go to great lengths to look depressed, but that doesn't mean they feel that way. It's a fashion statement, nothing more. The ultimate 21st century "movement."
    Misquoted. It was the toves that did that.

    THE JABBERWOCKY (verse 1)
    'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
    All mimsy were the borogoves
    And the mome raths outgrabe.
    The Wikipedia article on Charles Lutwidge Dodgson doesn't even mention them.

    Some do, because they're idiots. Usually because they have not thought their beliefs out for themselves and have gotten some harebrained idea that it is good to look depressed. Most of us just like to wear black leather and a lot of silver jewellery.

    I think it's a self respect thing. Men don't like desperate women who don't have dignity.

    Desperate men with no dignity like them. And there are millions of those guys around.

    Nothing is wrong with women, that's what attracts the most mates.

    To Fraggle R.

    Thanks for post 163, I think combined with earlier assistance I have all I wanted to know about “goths.” To illustrate my newly acquired knowledge I think it safe to say:

    "Goths are very goth."

    And from my POV, that is not a complement as I do not admire shallow people who are mainly, concerned with their appearance, especially when they seem to have strong herd behavioral instincts, while denying that they do.

    I was not trying to quote from JABBERWOCKY, only to illustrate that even undefined phonetically correct structures (not real words) have utility and can play well defined grammatical roles in larger meaningless structures. I like Lewis Carrol (Dodgson)'s poems.

    In part because of my interest in economics, one of my favorites is the long (208 line of verses) poem, Peter & Paul. It is in his less well known book Sylvie and Bruno, which has some great and some not so great (too slow for our age) chapters. Pokes fun at politicians, professors, love, and science (even has a time machine watch) and like Alice, is full of creative fantasy (Sylvie is a fairy) and social criticism. It is too long (I have only read the first volume, but in places it is better than Alice.)

    Peter & Paul is a narrative poem, told by one of the professors, about a youth who borrowed from a richer man, more than once as I recall, and the hardships that caused during his life. - The final stanza is a great conclusion to the poem, but I will not tell it – “It is not convenient now.” Try to find and read at least this poem.

    Later by Edit: here is the start:

    'Peter is poor,' said noble Paul, 'And I have always been his friend,
    And though my means to give are small, at least I can afford to lend.
    How few, in this cold age of greed, do good, except on selfish grounds!
    But I can feel for Peter's need, and I WILL LEND HIM FIFTY POUNDS!'

    Rofl, that's so much fail on my part. Wow, I've been wrong all day. I completely apologize Orleander, and although we haven't seen eye to eye on basically anything, can we pweese still be besties?
