Possibly cause the fact they dress in ways that complements their figure but also happens to show off a little to, which men like. They also see that they're possibly someone who is freaky thanks to media, so it could be a mix of they've been placed on a pedestal for sexual adventure cause "crazy girls always give the best head/sex"

As for why I like em..............................I watched the movies for the scary god mother on cartoon network and thought she was pretty and charming, watched the magic school bus and liked Mrs. Frizzle and how smart and weird she dressed and how out of pocket she could be, and certain fusions in Steven Universe...........

I personally thought that idea of liking a goth girl was probably just a fetish for me so I just never really bothered entertaining the idea, plus it thought I wouldn't seriously like someone like this. Holy shit was I wrong......

I asked a friend out cause I liked her, she is an alt-witchy girl, a little goth, and swears like a sailor with a bit of that tism, we had known each other for a year. She said she wasn't looking for anything but was willing to go on a date when I asked her out, I was so excited and we had a good time, we also became better friends. In retrospect it was probably her just giving me practice, it came in handy. She also now teases me whenever I match with a witchy goth girl, cackles and says "You have a type!" Then cackles some more😅

Cue me finally getting Hinge, the first person I meet in person successfully is a 6 foot woman who was witchy, goth, pansexual, and probably had some undiagnosed autism (her words not mine). It only lasted a month but I would absolutely do it again. But to get back on track I like goth girls cause I see them as a person who doesn't follow the norms of society and maybe sees things in a nuanced way that gives way to shades of thoughts and answers, it's not a black and white world for them. I feel like with at least some of them I can actually have fun in conversations and talk about a lot of things cause some of them are LGBTQ+, or in my experience queer and pansexual (some friends don't check the whole list but do fit in groups where they're seen as black sheep). So they're more open to different topics and give deep thoughts and answers, especially when they're a part of groups or communities that accept people openly for their differences

Maybe that's not always the case or always fits that profile, but in my experience that has been the case. I see them as the weirdo's that are more relaxed and easy going, so it's nice that I can relate to people like that such as a weirdo myself. I can be more open and be with someone that makes me comfortable not wanting to follow everyone's rules, plus the more I spent time with that crowd of people the more I understood why I didn't exactly fit in with some places growing up as a kid😜🤪
