Why do girls love emo boys? Options

[*jeanna*]

Seriously, it's getting out of hand. I have been waiting for a long time for this trend to be over that I see 25 year old men keeping the scene look going with their balding spots [no joke].

What I noticed is that teenage girls LOVE LOVE emo boys. I think it is because they want someone who is emotionally available as if emo boys are different than other guys? Is it bisexuality coming into play with the long hair and female type clothes? lol, idk and thought I would ask.

[babecakes]

i don't :).

I'm into scene-emo girls ;D

what attracts you though from other girls?

[Tung]

I love the scene look. Most scene girls or emo whatever likes the music I listen to. And we can relate really well together. I love the skinny jeans look with the vans/chicks. I love the dyed hair, and awesome hair that covers there face on one side. I love how they enjoy being with me, going to concerts, etc. I don't know, I'm just attracted to them. It's like saying, why are you attracted to "normal" people.

My fiance used to wear chick pants.

I LOVED IT!!!!

It showed me he was comfortable with his sexuality. He did way before it was all trendy though.

Hmm, I'm not exactly attracted to the style attributed to "emo" people, but I like emotional boys. I'm not into the butch, body-building, hard-ass type of guys, or the wishy-washy, weak types. "Emo" girls are different than "emo" guys. I don't like, typically, how scrawny they all appear to be and look as if I'd bruise them if I were to hug them. They don't look healthy to me, at all.

same. i have a feeling if i was with one, they would spend more time on their hair than i would. i was with an emotional overhaul of a boy for 9 months. what i thought was funny was he would make fun of scene kids and the whole look yet i see what he is like now and he's the opposite. lol, i find it ironic.
im not saying they are any different in a bad way or something..

I'm actually really disturbed by boys who don't mind wearing eyeliner and tight jeans. I come from a pretty conservative family, so roles of men and women are clear in my head. I'm not talking about the housewife, working man type of mentality, but you know, girls and boys have very distinct ways of carrying themselves in their appearance. The tight-ass jeans and shirt just aren't my thing. I like my guys to be the typical guy in all outward appearances.

i know what you mean.
eyeliner is my "no way" and when i share pants with him, something is wrong. i mean i used to think guys who rode bmx or skateboarding was attractive but now they are doing it in the 20's and im really turned off.
i think there is a time where being "scene" is wrong and it's time to grow up. i hope one day i'm not walking around and see a 30 yr old rocking some girl pants and rock tee..

A-goddamned-men. There's a time when people need to grow up and out of your teenage phase and change your style. You can't look as if you've been indulging in teenage fashion over MySpace for the rest of your life. For both women and men. I find mothers who have facial piercings abound to be extremely unattractive. Are these "emo" people going to be wearing skinny jeans for the rest of their lives, into old age? Sick.

[Tung]

I wear skinny jeans since I was 17. I'm 19 now. I plan on wearing them till I look good in them still and right. Probably 23-24. I'll probably move into slim straight jeans. I wear eyeliner a few times. And that's it. I take about 20-25 minutes to do my hair.

[MissFits]

I don't see why you two are so against it. I'd MUCH MUCH rather hang out with a guy that wore chick pants than a guy that wore his belt down by his ankles and XXXXXXXXXXXXXL t-shirts.
I don't really dig eyeliner, but I know guys that have worn it and they are so sweet. I wouldn't date them, but I am more than happy to be their friend.

John wore chick pants and band shirts EVERY DAY. He doesn't wear chick pants anymore, but his pants are tighter than most guys. He is the most amazing person I've ever met. It just goes to show unless you know someone you shouldn't say they are disturbing.

[misoshiru]

emo boys are a no. it makes me feel as if they're still stuck in the throes of their adolescence. as if they can't get out of the "why does everyone hate me" phase. i see them as little boys.

What happened to form-fitting clothes? I like my guys to wear clothes that fit him and doesn't look as if he's wearing my jeans.

I could not care less if your skinny-jeans-wearing boyfriend is the most loving person you know; I'm sure everyone would say this about their boyfriends. My boyfriend wears slightly loose but not overly baggy or tight jeans, and he's the best man I know. I never touched the subject of generalizing their personality, just their physical appearance. I also didn't say that "emo" boys were disturbing, I was saying that *I* become disturbed seeing how skinny most of them are.

You strike me as the type to shove your moralistic, "I accept everyone" values down other people's throat because we don't like what you like, and at the same time, you can't just simply accept our opinions and chill out. It's a damned forum. I already explained in my previous post that I grew up in a different environment than you probably did.

I beg to differ.

I'm actually really disturbed by boys who don't mind wearing eyeliner and tight jeans.

I can shove my views down your throat if you want me to. I was just stating, in a matter of fact manner, that I don't understand why you and Jeanna don't like it so much. I then proceeded to state MY views on the matter. I always thought that's what I did on forums, but since you know me so well I was hoping you could tell me what I am really supposed to do.

It appears to me that you are the kind of person that gets really offended when people stand their ground. The fact that I can openly state the things that I feel, not caring whether or not they jive with your "wholesome" upbringing intimidates you into being an unprovoked bitch.

I didn't have a problem with your views, but I do have a problem now because of the way you addressed myself and my fiance with disrespect.

I guess your parents were too busy teaching you what boys and girls are supposed to look like rather than teaching you manners and common courtesy. God Damn priorities, right?

[xFaith]

I dont know, but i love them o.O I've always liked halflong hair on guys, and skaters. and maybe because i like the 'whatever, ill dress how i want' kind of look. Mostly, they like my kind of music too, which is pretty important for me.

I dont like the skinny scene guys though. They have to be healthy, and they shouldnt have "emo" all over them. But a little bit is very, very nice.

[StandardEdition]

I think girls like them because it all has to do with what the "emo" they see in their crush is saying. I know its not manly but it's highly attractive to some girls when they see guys wearing eyeliner. I guess it makes them feel less alone to know that someone else wants to mask their pain with make-up. Im not saying thats the reason everyone wears make-up. Its just that most times girls or guys clod it on it seems that they're hiding something. Idk maybe thats just the way I feel about it. As for the whole tight jean thing. I have no clue why girls like that. How did it even get in style for boys? Its cute[ish] and all but I think most of them need to learn to loosen before lost.

I can't stand them. Seems to me to be one of the lamest phases to go through in life.

The worst ones are the ones you added on Myspace before they turned to the dye-side.

Beg what to differ? I think your problem is that you don't know how to read English. Let's do this together: I am disturbed by boys who wear tight clothing *because* they are also unusually skinny in them. I do not think they are disturbing because they wear tight clothing. Is this not clicking in your brain?

What the hell are you even talking about? I never claimed to know you, or that I could tell you what to do. I was bringing in my observations of you since you become all mushy-gushy because we didn't happen to like a type of style. I'm not offended by what you said; you seemed offended by what I had to say, and I was clarifying that we are not talking about how awesome of a personality your boyfriend has, we're talking about the "emo" trend.

Perhaps you should read over your post again and how you brought your personal, irrelevant experience into it. I've been making general statements about this trend, while you had to bring all of your, "well, MY BOYFRIEND ISN'T LIKE THAT" crap into this. I wasn't talking about your boyfriend; I don't give a shit about what your boyfriend does or wears, and I was correcting you.

And, yes, I learned well from my parents that men who carry themselves as men and not sixth grade boys are attractive to me. Is that all of what I learned? No. And your assumptions are retarded.

i wasnt saying they are bad people lol. i was saying the trend is becoming old and worn out since people are growing up.
and that's the reason i think girls flock to emo boys is because they are more emotional and have a female flair to them.

whatttt? i hope that wasn't meant towards me lol. in the beginning it was about being different but if you look around NOW, everyone is the same. now people are bitching on their myspace on how they started the trend and everyone is copying them! lol. oh and saying people steal things on their myspace too.

it really isn't about being different anymore. just another clone of eachother. i wonder what the new trend will be.. hmm

[tokyo-rose]

I think they're cute/hot because of their hair, but I wouldn't necessarily date one just like that.

[Eww]

Mainly, I like their hair.

[livwho]

I think they're attractive, but only if they can really pull it off and manage to look clean.
Some guys look trashy.

Also, most of them are environmentalists, so we relate well.
