OldFashioned.But the ones I met, you know with the black leather and all they were like "What bands do you like?" so I list a couple of metal bands and then I move on to other genres and she goes "You're pathetic, I only talk to people who like good music and that means listen only to metal." then another chick told me "You don't dance to metal you idiot", at last one pushed me and went "Dress f***ing nice when you come to a club like this"... (By nice she meant not wearing jeans and an oxford shirt and a pair of moccasins...)
What they are saying is that they are only attracted to men who are full-fledged members of their subculture. Dabbling is not enough. If you want to be with them, you have to immerse yourself 100% in their subculture otherwise they will not even consider you. If you are not willing to do that, there is no type of flirting that will help. They have made it clear what their conditions are - total commitment to the subculture- and if you aren't willing to meet those conditions, you have no chance.
^^^This. And by 100% immersion it means you have to buy into the whole mentality of it.
I could be way off-base here, but consider this: If you really want to date metal gurlz, try training for it. I'd imagine punk is a little easier to break into and a little more relaxed life-style wise, and they eschew superficial attitudes and mannerisms. Metal, on the other hand, is ALL superficial. I mean, you can be a metalhead and still be a nice guy. I'm just saying there are more superficial rules to fitting in.
I think people in general live by a "don't dish it out if you can't take it attitude." You'll get further with that whole "I listen to REAL music" if you learn to effectively defend your musical tastes.
"Wait, you listen to [X] but you hate [Y]? OK, that doesn't make any sense. You freakin' poser (ultimate insult), [Y's guitarist] is so much more musically talented than [X's guitarist], and [X's bassist] plays with a pick!! ! (ultimate bass player insult) I mean, are you kidding me??? You're not the metalhead I thought you were. I bet you listen to Avril Lavigne when nobody's looking. I bet you have Justin Beaver on your iPod. Maybe if you listen to some more BLS we can start having an actual intelligent discussion."
Something like that. I was a little kid back in the 80's, so metal to me means G'N'R, Metallica, all those LA hair bands, and maybe some Pantera and Pearl Jam (but I HATE Nirvana). I listened to Effervescence, uh, I mean, Evanescence, and Linkin Park, and think Nickelback is just another Metallica who can crack a smile every now and then. Creed was OK, too. And I wish the band I'm stuck in right now would do more metal. Heck, I'd settle for a "Helter Skelter" cover (the way Macca does it in his live shows, which will friggin melt your face off) or "Enter Sandman." But alas, I'm the youngest member of an "old farts" group. My current fave is "Stand Up and Shout" by Steel Dragon.
Steel Dragon was AWESOME. How come we don't hear from them anymore?
