I know what people would think, especially women - you are such a loser, if not a serial killer!
I love guinea pigs, they are very talkative, sometimes too much, squeaking, grunting and wheeking, especially if you rub them on their underbelly.
And they can be very tame. I had them when I was a kid. I can’t have them when I have an allotment (the transport), but if I sell my allotment, I think I will give a damn about what people think and buy two guinea pigs.
I don’t think that makes you a loser. And I’m a woman, so that’s from a woman’s POV.
When I met my husband, he had 2 cats and I had 2 snakes. Other people thought that was strange. But I loved that he had cats and he thought it was cool that I had snakes.
I think society is weird, gendering pets. Like, thinking only girls can like cats and dogs are for men. I just think that’s all ridiculous.
If you love guinea pigs, I think you should get some! I had one as a kid. They are very cute.
Yes, @anon4362788@Blossom - it’s ridiculous if other peoples meaning should stop me from buying two Guinea pigs.
It’s about time to show some independency, and i don’t need to be cool anymore, thats for young people. Its very difficult being cool hanging around with two guinea pigs . )
@LilyoftheValley - some people might find it uncool with a pet that is associated with kids.
I thought about a cat too @Wave . Good luck with it… Usually im a “dog person” but after seeing endless cat videos i think they are very smart and cute… I think i rehearse with a Guinea pig.
If you don’t feel like a looser when you are over 50 you are not schizophrenic. I’m over 50 an almost average in weight have no positive symptoms I own stocks and bonds but what have I achieved?
Absolutely nothing so I must admit I’m a failure just as well.
