So, i have this story. I was getting ready for going out and put on a black and white old school coord. Teased my hair, you know.
My mom saw me and she went like
"I like your look but I'm worried what if someone mistake you for a hooker?"

Usually I get pretty wholesome comments and compliments. Like people saying my outfits are really pretty and asking if I’m going anywhere special. Someone at a museum once asked if I was in a beauty pageant, and when I explained that I just like dressing that way for fun, they said that it’s great to be unique and dress how you want, and that more people should do that. One time I was at a grocery store and a little kid happily pointed me out to his dad, who called me Little Bo Peep. The Little Bo Peep comments are pretty cute when they’re not said in a mocking way imo. Especially since the kid probably thought I was actually her. It’s the same when kids think you’re an actual princess.

The only negative thing I’ve experienced is someone who was convinced it was fetish clothes even when I, someone who actually wears the fashion, explained otherwise. Can’t be helped though. It’s been mistaken for fetish clothes by someone else once, but he understood when I explained it was just a fashion. I don’t mind that misunderstanding if they actually understand when I explain. But overall, that situation isn’t very common

I wore my coord to a nintendo launch event years ago, and a few people asked about my outfit. General positive interest. When I did explain about lolita to one guy, he exclaimed that he 'loves lolis' and started following me around the place. I did explain that they are different things, but it wouldnt sway him.

"dressing like children"
We all get this alot and I think it's one of the funniest comments. Especially when it comes from someone wearing leggings and a bright ugly sweater.
I don't know what children you have met but I've seen more children wear simple boring outfits rather than expensive frilly dresses

I usually get asked by old people if I’m going dancing. Maybe they’re thinking of square dancing. Once I went to a bike convention in a pretty full coord and the guy taking tickets said I looked like a pageant queen, which I took as a compliment, but looking back I guess he was probably thinking Toddlers and Tiaras.

Not long after a TLC reality show had a living doll episode, I had multiple people ask me if I was dolly or a living doll. I feigned ignorance and acted like I had no idea what it was. My go to is just saying 'It is a fashion from Japan' and leaving it at that.

There has also been times where I've seen women physically recoil when I've told them it was called lolita, so I simply don't go into detail anymore.

Yes, it is always white middle age Karens.

She was pressing me to say the name. I have always reluctant to say it unless it's requested.

Lolita isn't this scandalous work that can't be said. It's not worth trying to make up a bullshit name. I just don't give more detail beyond 'its a fashion' now since it seems no matter what I do or say I get poor reactions from the public.

They're still young enough to change their lives but they can't. Out of fear or inability.

I've never gotten any truly negative comments when I've gone out besides the typical judgemental stares, but I always get asked if I made my dresses.

Yes exactly! I oddly don't feel really out of place when dressed up for car shows/meets because of I guess the whole car culture thing and often have an easier time chatting with people at the car shows than I do at lolita meets. I honestly probably would dress up more for the regular monthly meets if my husband didn't insist on us getting up to get there at the asscrack of dawn just to make sure we get a spot. He drives an exotic too so I feel like they'll always have an open spot for him in the exotics section anyways.
>>10396726
Aw that's kind of sad. I feel like that tends to be the case in a lot of smaller cities from what I've seen. The car shows in the city I grew up in were kind of sketch but the ones I go to in the bigger city I live in now are all really well organized. Some car shows can get REALLY fancy too like the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. I kind of want to make the trip to it someday just for the sheer fanciness of it all.

This keeps happening to me too. People often address me in English and then talk about me to each other in our native language thinking I won’t understand.

Mostly nice comments from old ladies, women complimenting me on my shoes, got asked twice in one day while at work if I was cosplaying Misa from death note. Right before lockdown I had a really nice experience with a woman at a makeup store who talked about how much her daughter loves the fashion but she couldn't remember what it was called (I was too embarrassed to tell her)
Only time I really got annoyed tho was a few weeks ago when i was grocery shopping and two maskless 30 something women got in my space and started asking me if I was going to a costume party/if I wore that for, like, every day stuff? Definitely not the worst experience but still annoying.
Honestly I'm just surprised people are so nice about it, I live in a pretty small rural town and I guess I assumed people would be a little more shameless about mocking others.

Not the dude you responded to, but I've been with girls who love sex as well as those who get traumatized by a single kiss.

My question is, how am I supposed to tell the difference and give each person what they want? Both freaky and prudish girls seem to pretend that sex doesn't exist when you first meet them. In my experience, they just have normal conversations on dates and wait for you to make a move, where you then get two different reactions:
Freaky girl
>OMG I have been waiting for this! Let's fuck!
Prudish girl
>Did you just try to KISS ME? Anon, that makes me so uncomfortable. I-I need some time alone.

I'm fine with taking longer to have sex or even having less sex overall. But I don't want to not give a girl sex when she wants it. And at the same time, I don't want to escalate things with a girl only to force her to reject me and strain the relationship in the process.

What is wrong with being a slut and having sex with people you’re not dating? What would you do if you were dating someone who didn’t enjoy sex, but you obviously still had to get it somewhere?

Oh right, you’d just break up with them. No, not live your life without sex or even just get it from other people. No, that’s not good enough.

Your kind are trash. Sluts are based and the only ones who understand love. Because they are capable of separating love and sex, which btw, are not the same thing.

My response was more of a meme than anything; no need to take it seriously. But wearing attire that is vastly different from the social norm is going to get you attention, even if you are at an event. It comes with the territory. You can't dress up and expect to not get attention.

normal people enjoy sex with their beloved partner. theres a term in the english language for girls like you who got diddled by some jock at 13 in middle school, girls who constantly need their genitalia rubbed to have sex for the sake of stirring up their meat, and that term would be slut.
all other normal people can enjoy sex both physically and emotionally because they lost their virginity with their boyfriend/girlfriend whom we were emotionally attached to, and not some guy who fucked and dumped you when you were 14 and drunk.

well you need to understand that just because it's sex, doesn't change the fact that it's the same as any other relationship issue. you and a lot of other people need to learn that compromise in a relationship doesn't mean sacrifice, it means working towards a good solution. people like you are generally the ones who are treating sex like it's separate from all other relationship issues. it's the same as one partner not liking another's behavior like staying out late or drinking. neither you or the other person should have to change their reasonable behaviors or deal with behaviors they can't. it's super idealistic to act like someone should even try to ignore their own needs for the sake of love. it's not some show of affection, it's denying your own needs. just the same as you don't want to have to have sex with someone to prove your love, no one else should have to give it up if they want it.

We were just walking in front of her and she kept following us, eventually saying "so are ya'll just gonna keep walking?" multiple times before literally grabbing my friends arm!! She turned around so quickly and yelled at her to not touch her, and then the woman tried to guilt us into taking photos but we were just like....... "no sorry" and literally ran out the door.

Lolita fashion is really such a mix -- you've got corsets and bustiers designed to emphasize adult body lines but you've also got loose and dreamy doll-like stuff.

This. Also, lolita is as much "based on historical clothing" as every other fancier dress with a more poofy silhouette. Contrary to what many lolitas claim, it looks neither like any specific decade of the victorian era, while the decorations are all over the place. Just saying it's historically inspired is better than claiming it's "based" on roccoco and victorian fashion and showing pictures that look nothing like that. It's a mix of a lot of ideas, more akin to bastardisation of european fashion as a whole, but that's normal considering it's literallly japanese view of the fashion. And I'm not saying that's something wrong. It makes for an interesting eclectic style, I just don't like people claiming it's something that it isn't.

Japanese society isn't the same as American or European one. There isn't that much of a push for young women to get married, stay at home and raise children in western countries. While America also had a housewife culture, it wasn't as prevalent in 2000s, so you can't say westerners rebeled against the same thing Japanese girls did. My country hasn't even had a housewife culture for at least 70 years now. It may have political meaning, but it's not universal, and for sure it isn't modest.

Goth is an umbrella term now. Also it's a meme that the cure sold out and became normie, so it depends on which albums you listen to. Industrial is like a bastard child that like half of the community hates but the other half loves it, it's also popular now so I understand the confusion. There's rock stuff, metal, more symphonic and folk stuff and a lot of electronic music. I'd say your best call is to look for set-lists of gothic festivals. This list is also pretty good, but it doesn't have a lot of smaller local bands.

I never said that tho. The view of goth subculture from normie and lolita standpoint is distorted and influenced a lot buy people using goth aesthetic, gothic lolita being just a style with no real connection to the music and normie artists riding on the popularity of nugoth, but if you actually go to gothic groups and forums, you see that these people are either not counted as part of the subculture if they don't claim to be, or looked down upon similiar way we do at clueless itas and lolitas at heart. If it wasn't about the music anymore there wouldn't be clubs and festivals, goth would have meet-ups similiar to teaparties. It's more diverse now than in the 80s and 90s, but it's still very much about music.

I don't mean "it's just clothing" in the sense that it has absolutely NO ties to other cultural things like music. Its history obviously does, but it isn't essential at all and it wouldn't be shocking to find out that a goth woman dressed in black because she was a tumblr thot who was into a witch aesthetic or whatever. I know a lot of teens who dressed goth just to rebel. Maybe some autists who are on goth forums would freak out, but most goths generally realize that goths are not expected to behave a set way and have the same set of morals on any particular subject. This discussion started because an anon was saying that people who are lolita should all be sexually modest, but just like with goths and punks, it's impossible to paint an entire style of people with the same life choices and is a stupid thing to expect. Not all people are attracted to fashion styles for the exact same reasons.

I honestly just don't respond at all. There's nothing more hilarious than when someone makes a snide comment, but I just ignore them and don't even look at them. At first they stand there expectantly with a smug grin, until they realize everyone else around heard what they said and is staring at them. Then they normally just shuffle away in awkward silence.
If they're especially flustered, they might insult me on the way out, but that normally just doubles-down on the "weird person walked up to a stranger and insulted them" perspective of the staring bystanders.
These types of people are swayed by public opinion (hence why they're insulting you for standing out in the first place) so a good dose of being the one to be gawked at is enough to shame them without having to actually say anything at all.

I wish I could say other people's reactions don't matter to me, and they don't in the sense that I continue to love and wear sweet lolita, but I will admit that I dress up less than I'd like because some days I just don't have the energy to deal with all the harassment it entails.

Because it looks more like fetish shit, we can get away with gothic because most people (unless they're devout christians) understand that goth is already weird but nothing to flip over, a poofy skirt and ruffles won't change that.

Switch it to pink or cute prints and it's really reminiscent of childrens/baby clothes, so people conclude that it's a fetish thing because why else dress like a little girl in pink.

Don't get me wrong i REALLY like sweet style and cute stuff but i don't get why some lolitas don't seem to understand that yes the majority of people will think you have some pedo shit going on when you go out in a poofy pink dress with childish motiffs on it on top of pigtails and doll/schoolgirl-like shoes. It sucks, i get stares just for low pigtails sometimes, but that's just how it is, it's a hairstyle associated with X thing and i would be a fool to expect something else.

Like in the aliexpress thread people got mad because some anon found it weird that a girl was buying little pink cribs and kid slides, when any person outside our little bubble would think somethings wrong with a girl who has a damn crib in her bedroom.

[Anonymous No.10468900]

>>10468887
I figured it happens a lot and could come off as annoying. As far as what I'm trying to accomplish, nothing different from getting to know a stranger that I think I might share something in common with. Obviously only in situations that wouldn't be inconvenient or would make them feel trapped. If they give me a canned response, I move on. I think it's a cool hobby and wish more people put effort into their appearance.

I've met people under similar circumstances but I'm guessing with this it's tricky because obviously I'm indirectly telling you "I think you're cute". I'm not expecting a contact but sometimes you see people regularly enough that you become friends. It's just sort of a way of branching out of your own social circle.

[Anonymous No.10468902]

>>10468883

I get "I like your outfit!" all the time. I'll admit it's a lot better than, "Why are you all dressed up?"/"Are you in a play?"/"You going somewhere?" but it's so often that I've pretty much nailed saying thank you while not stopping what I'm doing at all so I can just keep moving.

If you really want to start a conversation, you need to basically indicate that you know something about the fashion. "I like your co-ord, is that (whatever brand)?" will go a lot farther than "I like your outfit!" Even just picking out details I think would be more of a conversation starter- "Oh I really like that tulle lace!" or "That's such a cute shade of mint!" You know?


>>10468848

Now this, THIS I hate. I think even more than, "Are you in a play?" Parents are so often so desperate to show their kids something they think they'll like or be interested in, or even worse, live vicariously through their kid's enthusiasm/wonder, they end up reaching for something they know to compare you to.

[Anonymous No.10468950]

>>10468936

I feel like there's been a miscommunication here? I get what you're saying but this isn't about keeping people out, gatekeeping, elitism or anything like that.

1. We are used to a lot of attention, both good and bad. Most I've seen talk about it don't even want the attention but we all accept it's just a part of our fashion that we have to deal with. You kind of just have to learn to autopilot through the basic questions/comments you get ALL THE TIME or you won't get anything done and you'll end up exhausted.

2. Most people are not interested in being educated about the ins and outs of the fashion. Again, if we take five or ten minutes out of our day for every person who makes a comment to explain stuff to them, it will be exhausting.

3. We flat out told you how to initiate conversation- that is, instead of saying, "Oh hey I like that" or "That's cute" (which we get a lot and doesn't show you're really interested/know anything), you need to actually show said interest. Point out the details, mention a term that most "normies" wouldn't know like co-ord or the common color terms in the fashion (saxe/mint/bordeaux etc.) or ask about the brand of a dress/accessory- literally anything to show you actually want to have a conversation about this and aren't just making a passing remark.

We're just people trying to do our thing, my dude. It's not that the compliments aren't welcome, it's that our time and energy are finite and we can't be hosting J-Fash 101 with every person who says something to us. Show you're genuinely interested and we'll probably reciprocate.

I get it, that’s why I capped that off with “I guess it’s different if you hear it every day.” It’s just unfortunate because right now my interest extends as far as a casual conversation and that probably wouldn’t have ever happened unless I asked. It’s just a shame it has to be that way.

Some driveby white trash kids yelled Lady Gaga at me once when I was wearing a lace dress.

It's probably the drugs, anon.

how do you intend to start a conversation based on "i like your outfit" alone? i'm with the other two gulls on this one but i feel like you shouldn't be discouraged from saying anything at all because of that. speaking for myself here unless a question of any kind is asked i don't see a reason to say more than "thank you!" because that's generally how interaction with strangers works, i think. like this isn't even about lolita specifically it's just how initiating conversation works, you have to invite a response with a question to make it two way. personally i'm more than happy to talk about it if asked- yesterday two girls came up to me asking where they could buy it and those led into conversations of their own that could easily have led to further connections
