You'll be searching far and wide for someone to "really care". Some
people search until they die. There is only one person who you need to
care about you. Three guesses. (No, it's not that chick in the corner)
=) And most of the time when people pick you up in a club/bar, they're
really only interested in your looks, not your mind. After all, it wasn't
your mind they were attracted to all the way across the room...
>then of course you get a reputation, which

>with come out to have a taste of "gothic boy".
Learn to say no. You have every right to refuse. And if you have a
"reputation", that generally means they're flocking to you for sex *only*.
You deserve better than to offer yourself up to everyone in the vain hope
that they'll love you in return.

not to be mean, but this seems like a relatively easy cycle to break.
leaving out that whole first step would change things immensely.
i'd been "token weird boy" at certain points in high school and college,
but no "normals" ever talked to me or hit on me in those situations
because they were all afraid of me.

Ah, if it were that easy or simplistic! You failed to catch onto
the second part of the cycle: dance. I go to clubs to release; pain,
anger and sorrow by dancing. It is one of the few things I look forward
to each week. By denying the first part of the cycle I deny the second
which denies my release. This would be a very BAD thing *wry smile*.
I've tried not going to clubs. The lack of release is much worse than
perpetrating the cycle.

Sean, I really wish every goth in the world would read your post.
I hear so much WHINING about "nobody will even look at me, I'm so
fat, I'm so ugly, I'm so awkward" ad nauseam, and never even stop
to consider that what they're missing isn't necessarily love or
even fun.
I'll yell it impolitely and netiquette be damned: PEOPLE, THERE IS
MORE TO LIFE THAN FINDING "THE ONE!" Sure, it's great when it
happens, but it happens damned seldom, and in the meantime people
who scramble to be In A Relationship just for the sake of it often
end up with flakes, scum, or someone who unbeknownst to them has
pledged fidelity to someone else. Just LIVE your fucking LIFE, and
maybe The One will turn up and maybe not; but there's nothing like
obvious emotional hunger to not only attract the sort of shallow
types tha Sean described, but to *drive away* healthy-spirited
people.
YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO LOVE. You may need it, you may deserve it,
you may have oceans of it to give. But life isn't fair, and
expecting it to be fair is emotional suicide.

You sound a bit bitter Columbine. Tho' I'll agree life isn't
fair. Eventually things seem to work out for just about
everyone. In the meantime... there's nothing wrong with casual
sex {despite the obvious} and casual relationships. You are
right though... you can't expect it to be love everytime.
However, if you redefine your notion of love a bit it can be
love most of the time.

reading this and other posts led me to wonder why this is such a
widespread need of people...i guess it goes back to mating instincts or
something, it's strange that if you look at goths or jocks or ravers or
punks or whatever, most of them have romantic relationships as a major
priority in their lives. then there's the "someone for everyone" myth,
which my female friends keep threatening me with..."one day you're going
to meet the one person right for you and there's no way to escape".
people are pack animals i guess...

I thought you came off as a whining child too.
sort of like *whine* I'm in this terrible cycle where I go

do feel incredibly used. Please feel sympathetic toward me.
Please give me attention. I am not being loved in the way
I should be.

And I think Mr. Gerard is focusing on the very obvious solution.
Stop doing that then.

in my case, its not that they like my docs because i don't wear docs.

Poor dear, poor dear. Sweet little Goth Boi with whom I empathize deeply.
Just a few days ago, I was having a bit of a drama queen rant myself
when I was rudely interrupted by someone who accused me of "bitching &
moaning." I silenced the little ungulate trollop by retorting "Bitch is
what I am & moan is what I do."

Well, actually I do understand what you are saying and it is not
simply that you are "gothic" but, also, that you probably possess a quality
that hints of the forbidden and taboo. Many people look for that in a
one night stand, something different, dangerous -- but of course not too
dangerous. You fit the bill, a sort of exotic and wild persona to fling
with for the night and leave in the morning acting as if the entire
experience were nothing more than a wild dream with such realistic feelings.
I am afraid that "gothic" entails such a forward expression of who you are
by the way you walk, body language and style, that people realize right
away who and what "type" of person you are. And most, only want to have
fulfilled some fantasy with the darkly clad man.

Well, it does happen, just not very often, and never, ever, when
we think it will. We get caught up in her eyes, and the way she smiles and
the smell of her neck as we get close, but "we" are in just as much of
a fantasy as the girl who would "do goth!". We make believe, we begin to
rationalize and the think of a thousand reasons why this girl understands
and cares and has to be "the one". However, soon, the fantasy ends, the
lights and go on and we are stuck sucking in our breath because damnit
we allowed ourselves to hope to care. Go home, and smoke a clove, turn on
the computer and start writing, often the only escape from the pain of
loneliness. "The one" is an expression of an old model of marriage and
relationships and life ever after. It doesn't really happen that wey, at
least not in my opinion. We simply learn to love ourselves and accept that
someday we may find the person with whom we can share our most inner thoughts
and dreams, and, well, maybe we won't.

A club is a lousy place to find a permanent relationship.
Sean, you may find music and the dance and hot & heavy casual sex
at your club, but "the one"? Unlikely. It'll be someplace unexpected,
and while you weren't looking--say, when you fall off a dock while
wearing blue jeans and some embarassingly-non-gothic T-shirt, and
she's this girl in a bikini who looks like she escaped from

the problem with this theory is how will we know if the girl would
accept us for who we are if we: goths. we need to have our goth
clothes on so that we'll know we are being accepted for who we are.

yeah, do some things just for fun. like if it's a fat perky goth

I meant "entitled" as in "an inalienable right" or "something
to be expected." Lots of people deserve to be loved.

I'll concur with this, but clarify that it's an "instead of"
rather than an "avenue to" the standard mushy definition. I
live in a world full of beautiful sisters and brothers, and
there are MUCH worse situations to be in.

Well - I'd state the - is it inverse? (Perverse perhaps?) That
NOT cultivating a loving heart GUARANTEES that you will not be
loved, but that it's a necessary *but not sufficient* condition
for being loved. It also opens you up to a lot of stuff that
takes a lot of strength to handle, and at 34 it still hits me
pretty damn hard after LOADS of experience.
So, dragoness, yes, being able to love is worth it. But NOT
because it attracts love. It attracts EVERYTHING. Emotional
black holes, users, losers, Mommy-seekers, irresponsible flakes,
worrywarts, and hopeless cases who just think you're being nice
because you're desperate. Love too, but in the usual microscopic
proportion.
But, as the Scarecrow said, "Now I know I have a heart, because
it's breaking." It's good to know you have a heart.

*ahem* 'scuse me for butting in, but I didn't see Monsieur Gerard say
ANYTHING about taking advantage of a drunk goth girl. So he met someone in
a bar.
You can meet someone ANYWHERE. And that include in the drunken revellery
of a night club. So bars have tarnished reps. Is it any less likely than
at the library, grocery store, bookstore, university night course or
anywhere else for that matter? (all places I've been told that it DOES
happen with great regularity but none of which have been places where it
happened to me nor any of many friends).

Read the post again, O illerate one. Does David say ANYwhere there that he
took "advantage of a drunk goth girl" ????? We met for the second time at a
drinking festival, in the company of a large number of goths, got along like a
house on fire, and eventually fell in love. No-one took advantage of anyone
else. Also, we'd both had plenty to drink but were both _definitely_ still in
charge of our own faculties and decisions, thankyou very much

According to Canadian law anyone who is intoxicated can't give consent.
Although this is open to interpretation by the courts this means (in
theory) that any physical contact can be deemed assault, if the person
decided it was a mistake the next day. Both of you being intoxicated
doesn't change that. You have one point though. You're not Canadian. I
was being ethnocentric. You did get me there.
: (and I would hazard to guess that yes, he probably is a better man than you -

No, I would say not. Mainly due to what he posted in return for an
honest post I made. He treated me rudely, coldly and ignorantly.
Because of this I'd say he isn't. If you like those qualities that's
your perogative.
: My boyfriend is your pet?!? *ahem* I DON'T think so, matey.
It seems he has grown tired of arguing, which means he is no longer my

I dunno... there is a certain style to flaming that is best suited to
email, and then there is that form of debate and flaming best left on the
newsgroup for all to enjoy. I'd followed the story from the start (like, I
got anything else to do besides read alt.gothic some days? *grin*) It was
a nitpicking bit that I responded to but sometimes I'm in the mood to pick
nits. I do applaude Barbarella's response though methinks she looses a

Petro is reminding you in his characteristically brusque manner that,
since the majority of the readers of Usenet have screens that are only 80
columns wide, you should set your text editor so that it automatically
wraps at no more than 80 columns (75 is even better, as it allows room
for followups that don't force text off the right edge of the screen).
You are not the only one at whom Petro has had to brandish his ruler
(ooh!). He doesn't do it much here anymore, but then he doesn't look at
alt.gothic much anymore--you're more likely to see his posts on
alt.sysadmin.recovery. And what is sad is that he's had to brandish the
ruler over there as well. After all, one would expect the secure
possession of the relevant clue by those folks.
Later...

The way that they are over 80 columns. Please fix it. It may be fine
for you, but it's not for the rest of the world.

It CANT be love all the time. If it was either a) you'd be an
emotional wreck, or b). love would not be the much-vaunted ('ooooh'
goes the crowd) state that it is. Love, to me, should be an emotional
freight-train of an experience that is precious because of its rarity.
God forbid you should find love in every encounter you have in a club.
Another reason I think love is made such a big deal of is *because*
you have to go through all this crap to eventually get to it.
Also I find confidence attracts confidence, and like attracts like, so
if you're out there being miserable and desperately looking for
someone who's you ideal mate, all you're gonna get are people who are
as messed up emotionally as you may currently be. I'd say chill the
hell out and think about something else.

Yeah, I know. :-) And, really, I have. Friendship is love. I am,
quite realistically, one of the best-loved people I've ever known.
It's just these damned hormones keep making me forget how lucky I
really am.

Personally, I didn't, but I met my current SO when I was selling
my Magic cards and he was interested in trading them for his unused Jyhad

opposites seem to attract as well. if you're needy there are vultures out
there who strive off finding people who are needy and using them for
what-ever kind of gratification they need. as soon as their gratified
they take off..
although i agree that love is precious thing because of it's rarity and
all the shit you have to go through to find it.
the funniest thing of all is you tend to find it were you least expected
it to be in the first place.

that's what i had figured, but i couldn't understand how my newsreader
would have formatted itself differently for no apparent reason. then i
came out of my stupor and realized that it was, in fact, my telnet program
that was the culprit. anyway, all should be fixed now.
