Best New Tumblr Find – Goths on OK Cupid

This is probably my favourite out of any tumblrs that I’ve ever found and posted on Sick Chirpse – even better than accidental chinese hipsters. It was pretty obvious I was going to love it though given my love of the tragedy of goths and cybergoths that has already been described on this site a few times.

My buddy Jenn from Toronto found it and it’s pretty much exactly what you would expect it to be – a bunch of goths on OK Cupid and their accompanying pictures and personal statements (??). Is that what you call them? I have never been on an internet dating site, I guess maybe I could have asked Shoey for advice though as he seems to frequent them all the time and go on unsatisfying dates with girls who don’t drink as much as him as a result of his participation on them. Maybe if he’s lucky he can meet a nice Goth chick soon.

Anyway, here’s a selection of the best of goths on Ok Cupid:

“You should message me if
If you think you are attractive ( i hate it when a girl doesn’t realize she’s beautiful), have piercings or tattoos, are commonly called goth or punk, would like a guy who’s sweet and caring and accepts your tastes, and don’t mind the fact that i’m not completely single yet.
Send him a message”

“My self-summary
I tend to lean toward the subcultures. I myself have been a goth chick for over 10 years. I stick to it because I think it’s very beautiful, when you can get to the heart of it, which so many ppl don’t. Does that mean I get to call myself “old school” goth? Maybe. *shrug* I do my best to ignore the idiots and seek out the intelligent people of any sub-culture. Punk, various geek types, hippie, what have you. If you think for yourself, than I think you’re all right. 😀 I truly don’t understand emo, what it is or why goth and punk feel the need to alienate it. As long as I can have an intelligent conversation with an emo, I’m not going to judge. *checks mailbox for emo hate mail.*”
