Do i need to have piercings, black hair and the tiktok copy paste alt makeup? I dress alternatively, but i have half brown half pink hair. I dont have any piercings. I play guitar and listen to metal myself, i would want somebody that likes the same stuff and somebody that i am attracted to. Im 19f.
>>33579816You don't need to be a freak to be a great metal musician. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6rBK0BqL2w
>>33579816You don't need gimmicks when you have true soul. Be as you are, and what will appreciate you shall follow. Trying to bend yourself out of shape to appease someone who doesn't even see the real you is a recipe for disaster. These things take time, genuinely.
>>33579816I should add in answer to your question: Just be a decent musician. You'll be swarmed by men.
>>33580178Out of everything said in this garbage site, this is the best post literally
>>33579816people aren't just 1d archetypes you're not going to find some stereotypical 'metal' guy infact that's mostly an anachronism for a bygone cultural fad that only got immortalized by women who have a nostalgic yearning in their hearts for some big brother figure who sits in his room playing his schecter guitar and shouting on his xbox live headset... that's all it is... some nostalgia kink you all have
>>33579816Date guys that have long hair and or Midwesterner men, cowboy looking type of men, date mexican guys.
>>33579816Go to shows and interact with people there. Its that easy.
>>33584720Im very shy>>33584423Yeah i know, i just like men with long hair and would be cool if we had atleast a little bit of the same music taste.>>33584532I was only attracted to white guys for the longest but lately my type seems to lean more towards what you are describing.
>>33584737what do you think about my hair
>>33584823Very cool!! You look super cute. Definitely would have a crush on you if i saw you walking down the street.
Idek where to meet metalhead men I am 19m and play guitar. I would probably want to be friends with you If I saw you in person.
>>33579816I was a long hair metal guy when I was younger and I dated a few guitar player chicks my type for sure. The one I met irl just came in to the store I was working at and hung around and I asked her out. Too bad i'm twice your age and have short hair now lol.
>fumbled the gorgeous metalhead twink I used to exchange demos withIt's over for me, everyone's getting compared to him from now on>>33579816Go to showsYou're a woman so people will talk to youBe careful though, lots of sexpests and weird old dudes to filter out
>>33585236But like where could you even meet me hypothetically. Would you talk to some girl if she was in a record shop or at a metal concert?>>33585256I like older men but yeah i get your point lol, just dont think men would ask me out like that. I dont really go out much and when i do it would probably be a bar or something, where i would hope for magic to happen and some guy would hit on me. I dont think i look very approachable, i have autism and i have a resting bitch face im afraid. Should i smile at guys more?>>33585268But do men really talk to women at shows? Especially metal concerts. I would probably be too shy to go talk to somebody first.
>>33579816I'll tell you the same advice that I applied to myself ages ago, and that I tell to dudes who are looking for a goth/alt/punk/whatever gfYou need to look the part of what kind of person you're trying to attract.You say you dress alternatively and even though I don't know what specifically that means, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You don't need to go full corpse paint makeup with fishnet stockings and platform boots. Not unless you want to anyways.Piercings are typically the last thing anyone notices about someone anyways (unless they're extremely alt piercings and/or the person noticing them is one of those anti-piercing autists)>>33585445>Would you talk to some girl if she was in a record shop or at a metal concert?Not that anon, but I've done that countless times.
>>33585462I wear like band shirts mostly, Some jewerly. When i go out to bars or with my friend i wear alt makeup and black thighs/fishnets, more dressed up. Should i do alt makeup everyday? I have like a ok face without makeup so i dont really need it, and i dont use makeup daily at all. I have been trying to up my fashion game a little. Im just scared the alternative men like copy paste tiktok alt girls. I guess if i dye my hair black and use makeup everyday i would look more alt but i would feel fake and not like myself. I have always had brown hair.
>>33579816As a metal head who used to have long hair and know and knew other metal heads, Metal guys are just nerds. Looking like a metal chick is fine but you totally don't have to to get a metal guy. Being into metal and going to shows with him will be enough.
>>33585535nta but from what you described you sound better off doing what you're doing. don't fall for that trap of looking like a tiktok alt girl and save the makeup for occasions. the fact that you don't cake your face everyday and have natural colored hair is already better for you in the long run.
>>33585535>Should i do alt makeup everyday?Only if you want/feel like it.I'm a guy and used to do alt makeup everyday, if only nail polish & eye liner. But then I would have to wipe it off before my shift at a fast food place lol
>>33585445>>>33585256 (You)Really 20 years older? I just overlook much younger women I guess maybe I shouldn't? I have no idea even if it's the right kind of metal and I'm into other stuff now. I was in the stoner metal scene and liked mostly old stuff and retro sounding stuff, Motorhead, NWOBHM, black metal, classics. My metal guitar exs (I looked them up on Metal Archives just now) both dressed really plain and boring like all black and not much makeup. Good style is cute but won't matter as much as talking to the guys and setting some date or hangout up. The one I met at the store we bonded over the Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie.. just talk about what you are interested and ask if he's doing anything later?
>>33579816You don't need to change your appearance to attract guys like that. It's up to you to change it based on your own desires. My best advice would be to go to local metal shows in your area, and talk with people all around you, both women and men alike. You'll make friendships and thus romances from that point on. :^)
>>33585894I gotta start going, im just way too shy to talk to people.>>33585827Yeah, if we get along and stuff. But talking to strangers is the hardest part, but i guess its not about my appearance then.
My ex is into metal and I met him on hinge. Every time I’ve tried to start something with a guy I met „organically” I’ve been rejected so dating apps it is. I just make my interests clear in my profile. Although to me dating a serious to semi-serious musician is more important than dating a metalhead. My ex would get annoyed when I blew him off to practice. I wear a lot of band shirts but I definitely don’t dress like a TikTok goth. t. zoomer metal chick
>>33579816Literally exist as a woman and attend a metal show
>>33579816>Don’t be fat>Wash yourselfThat’s it
>>33579816I love nu deathcore and metalcore and I think women with tattoos and piercings are ugly.
>>33584823that’s a tranny
Metalhead since forever, M33. I don't like breaking down what I like to see in a woman because being honest about it makes me feel like a pos, but let's try.Surely I like the "goth gf style", I like long stunning dark hair and dark eye makeup too but at the end of the day, to me the way women dress or has their hair is like 10% of the attractiveness. It comes down to body type (40%) and facial attractiveness (50%) which to me is either "I like" or "don't like" and I cannot do much to change this even if I wanted. Being overweight is a terrible turnoff, but being slightly overweight can be overlooked if you have beautiful eyes and face. I don't get attracted to certain faces even though they are objectively beautiful. On the other hand I may find another person's face very attractive even if most people would consider it less desireable than the forementioned "objectively beautiful face".TLDR If I just found your face beautiful there is no dresscode, hairstyle or makeup style you could have to make me NOT fall in love with you. Assuming your personality is not complete shite. I have found myself falling for very different types of girls, most of them had 0% metalhead / goth / alt girl energy
>>33585535A lot of guys (me) would prefer you as you are, and fishnets are already mucho sexo
