Shurely shome mishtake?

Goths Make Better Lovers
Why do Goths always have boyfriends? Goths, so often the victims of wry asides, mild pity or open scorn always appear to be in a relationship - and, ironically, these relationships seem to be happier than the non-goth kind.

Explanations on a postcard, please . . .

Sorry I'd forgotten that non-goths don't have hidden piercings and tattoos.

Well spotted.

I can't work out whether you mean this seriously or as sarcasm. As sarcasm, of course, it would be incredibly stupid, since valkyriekaren's observation is that piercings and tattoos are more common among goths than among the general population in exactly the same way that (as you observe) fishnet and PVC are. I shall assume you mean it in seriousness.
