I was a bit more subtle than this… My online dating profile said I spent a lot of free time “cleaning and feeding the menagerie”
It was after about a week or so of conversation that my now wife thought to ask “So… what exactly is this ‘menagerie’ you mentioned?” but by that point she was pretty invested so…
Sort of an Edwardian Era Meme- a humorous painting. Perugini’s “the Green Lizard”. This is an honest actual canvas painting. Going by the technique it would have taken at LEAST a few weeks to paint. There’s always people willing to coo over a cute lizard- even in the 1900s.
Me when someone mentions how they love reptiles and I tell them about every minutes detail of my setups and show them a thousand pictures of my snakes and then they say they have a bearded dragon on reptile carpet in a 20 gallon and feed them exclusively mealworms
Honestly same. I love that meme by the way and I’ve definitely gotten weird looks from people when I talk about my snakes. They probably do think I’m deranged
This is too accurate. My now wife was working at petco and i asked her if she liked snakes? She said yes and i name dropped my friends store, incredible pets, and told her they have real snakes!
