I just can't seem to figure out why all the "goth" types I meet are overweight? Is it a requirement to join the club? Or do black clothes and eye makeup just make people look really heavy? Or do black clothes weigh more than regulare colors?

Being "goth" makes their anger and bitterness the "cool" thing to do.
Plus black is actually slimming.

Whenever you consider determining if something is ‘over’ or ‘under’, one must consider the starting point, what you are being compared to. In other words, what is the standard? Not to mention, that standard and method of measurement can and does change with time. For example, when I was 117 lbs I was considered overweight by the standard of measurement back in 1985 but within a normal range with today’s standard. That being said, curves, thighs and butts don’t necessarily come from excess weight just like lack of them doesn’t mean lean. I happen to be 120 lbs and have all three while I know some women who are not black that would be considered overweight and are as flat as a board. When considering a Black Woman for weight, the standard should be a healthy Black Woman; period. But I think the main point here is why are we looking to anyone other than ourselves to tell us what is or should be ‘normal’ for us? Whatever happened to defining ourselves?

Well, I am an overweight Goth myself, but I did just have a baby a few monthes ago. We like being accepted and goths accept everyone as long as they are goth.

You know, I'm goth at heart, and as I lose more and more weight, tend to wear more and more black and feel darker and darker.... I wore hardly any black when at my largest, and mostly wore it when very thin.... I'm not the only goth sort I know like that who is darkest when thinnest... Most true goths I have met resembled pro anas.

Actually most Goth people are really skinny, especially the guys.
Don't know which ones you're meeting.

Where do you reside? Many of the goths here in the Seattle area look as though they shop at Anorexics-R-Us.

most goths aren't athletic thus, lacks excercise. Black, is just a mood.

Not all of them are. You seem to have some incorrect perceptions. And besides, it's none of your business if they are.

though there are gothic people who are fat and skinny , im guessing its because they are depressed so much.. and when youre depressed you tend to eat alot.. :o)
