How Can You Make This Hobby Sexier!

[timmystood]

Heya Guys - random post here!

I was out on the town last night and instead of using my normal 'yeah, I train dolphins for a living' I decieded to use the truth! I actually told the girls I met that I worked in an aquatic shop and was into fish! Anyway, needless to say it didn't work and I spent the rest of the night being called 'fish-boy'! Sucks really! If only the hobby was regarded as sexier! Maybe I should just try to find someone else who likes fish!

Hm, one way to make it sexier would be to have a nice large ( greater than 6000 gal.) tank and keep mermaid's

Well, you shouldn't look at it negatively as something that makes you less worthy/less attractive to the girls. View it as a positive test, something that shows if a girl is worth your attention. If she fails the fish talk test, just forget her- you're too good for her!

haha! i usually bring fish up too! but i don't use it as a negative or positive thing. i just use it as something funny to talk about. like if i was having a conversation and it came to an end and i couldn't think of anything else to say, i would ask "dya like fish?" they laugh and say "what?" and talk about fish lol keep it simple though! don't start talkin about nitrites n stuff because they'll just think you're a nerd.
basically, most people find fish interesting, they just haven't really thought about it. if you're lucky, they'll ask to see your tank make sure you have something impressive though!

Sexier would probably require a big tank with big colourful fish who you can hand feed on command and won't bite their fingers off when you get them hand feeding ("cos its soooo cool!")

Either that or claim to have fish in your waterbed, and you have to lie on the waterbed to see them...

i make my fish sexier by dressing them up in lingerie

seriously though, when you meet someone who is right for you they'll at least feign an interest in fish if not really like them themselves

when me and ian were first getting together he was just fishless cycling his first tank..... god our conversation on our first few dates must have been interesting..... mmmm the nitrogen cycle

Think semantics. "I work in a fish store" will get folks calling you fish dude, and isn't real impressive.

"I manage the daily operations of a corporation that supplies ornamental tropical fish" sounds better by far, and has a few key words that will get the ladies attention.

HAHA! Sexier! I'd just show them your tank(s)!!

"I'm a specialist in in the biology and distribution of h2o based lifeforms, and the design and distribution of their artificial life support systems."

And when you get her home and she realises you keep fish, keep it sexy by doing your next water change in a thong.

I do the same thing. It's less succesful when a 6'2" hairy bloke does it, believe me.

Heh...i got the girlfriend then bought the fish

You just have to be really sexy yourself, then they don't care what you're talking about.
