Wish I was exotic?

When I was like 12-16 I had that phase where the more I looked like a slutty freak the better. I mean I went out of my way. I've toned down alot. I wear "normal" people clothes now, less black. "normal" makeup.. umm still a lil slutty But I have never felt more me in my life. What cloth I put on my ass does not matter. I am me no matter what I wear. I have pretty tattoos that I will go out in an evening dress and flaunt.. I'll go out in ripped jeans and a t-shirt..hehe some days I'm a little emo-ish! I have a little mix of everything going on. And hey- it's me. The boy's parents call me "goth" haha parents are funny Be yourself man..Dress how you want, don't worry bout labels. Make your own style.

I like going to art shows and watching people trying to be exotic

I think I qualify as exotic? Yes? No? Penis? No Penis?

Be who you are. Either people will think you're exotic, in which case they are silly, or they will think something else. If you spend your entire life dressing as somethiong you are not, you'll be miserable.

Trust me.

well i think you can be whatever you want

Being yourself is the true alternative.

But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

Maybe it's a cop-out, but I've felt I could be more subversive in "normal" clothes. If you've got a huge mohawk, six yards of tattoos, and five pounds of metal in your face, some people are going to automatically dismiss whatever you have to say, even if they'd accept the same thing from a guy in a polo shirt and jeans -- me.

I wish I had a bigger cock. Get over it.

alternative is a state of mind...find me one person who can tell what complex thoughts you carry around with you, how you view the world or yourself...

anyone who judges people on appearance or baseless perception is a narrow minded, conforming, fearfull slave to the machine. imo...

i demand pics! i mean...pics please

I've been in SG for a couple of years now. Too look at me, I'm a fairly straight laced individual, whatever that means. I have two tattoos but you can't see them when I'm wearing a tshirt. I have a piercing but it's in my tongue so you can't see it unless I stick my tongue out at you.

I'm attracted to people that have tattoos and piercings that show. Chicks with sleeves are hawt!! Chicks with piercings are hot. I have a thing for rockabilly chicks. Goth chicks make me hot.

You get the idea.

The point is, you couldn't tell I'm into the punk/goth/emo/indie scene by looking at me. I express myself in other fashions other than dress/body mods. I am who I am. That's all I want to be. If I ever get a wild hair and decide to pierce my face or tattoo my fingers and face I'll do just that.

In the mean time, accept who you are and express yourself as long as you're comfortable with who you are.

Seconded!!!!

Hmm, when I think of the term 'exotic,' it usually means foreign and uncommon accents coupled with a different appearance that includes not only clothing, but general physical appearance as well -- different skin tone, hair colour and type, and the like...

It seems like you're writing about appearing original/non-conformist/against-the-mainstream and how it might help you in various (social) ways. I'll take a risk and say that you should experiment with whatever you find to be 'exotic.' That process should familiarize you with various things so as to make them not exotic, but merely different.
