I've been a metalfag for years and I've dressed as one the whole way through.
I don't know how to look normal without feeling weird or stupid, but I'm lonely and I can't find a metal gf.
Do you think its worth my time to change up my appearance to expand my dating pool? I'm not too hideous looking but I'm no Chad either.
I'm not getting a haircut though; It took way too long to grow it. Don't women like that gay manbun thing anyway?
>basing your entire identity around a specific type of music
Why do you people do this? It's not even a robot thing, it's a normie thing.
I honestly cannot stand people like you, you're actually more normie than you think you are.

Its a metal thing
You wouldnt understand
No, hair down is always better than man buns. Women only like them if you're already attractive. A button down instead of a t-shirt might make you look more approachable.

Probably true, but when I enjoy something I tend to go full autism with it.

As someone who's been in your position, girlfriends aren't really worth the hype. You have two options 1) Move to where more metal heads are and find a chick there easily
or 2) Pretend to be a normalfag to only get turned away once they discover the real you. Your call

>like something
>go out of your way to show everyone who sees you you like that thing
it's really fucking retarded

I'll try that out, maybe I could try a flannel or something. There's plenty of guys who have those and it seems to work for them.

I was going to address that as I wrote the OP but then I decided not to. But yes you're right, hiding my autism won't save me in the long run.

Is your plan to completely abandon your metal head lifestyle for good? If not, it's not worth it. If a woman doesn't like you now, she's not going to like it if you go back to being yourself after you reeled her in with a false face.

This is true. I doubt any nice girl really wants concert junkie boyfriend who just so happens to dress normally every now and then.
I guess it's settled: I'll keep doing what I've been doing, I'll spike the hell out of my leather jacket, I'll listen to all the obscure noise, and I'll work my ass off all week long just so I can save my money and spend it on concert tickets and patches for my new battle vest.
Maybe someone will love me for who I am one day. I should try putting some more meat on my bones to out compete the other metal guys.
This pic is a pretty accurate representation of me excluding the jewelry and smoking.
Thanks for you help everyone.
