Ugh. I hate things like that…

I hate reading things like that too. Animals suffer too much by way of petshops to even joke about it.

Nope, not a joke. One of the known ways for men to break the ice and get women to go ooh over them is to have a pet. They have a commercial about “Rent A Puppy” where guys just take them for the day to land women. There are many slogans for cute animals to get women such as “Get a little pooch to get a little cooch” and so on. you can guess what the “Bunny” one is. Heck, even here the ladies were telling me how attractive/desireable I looked holding my two bunnies.

Now here’s the real kicker. If you land a girl this way, you don’t have to keep the pet. You take it back or give it to a shelter. And the next time they come over, you tell them how it was horrible that your little puppy fell ill and didn’t make it. BLAMO! Now you got the condolance sex.

Yes, men are scum but I suppose if you gals weren’t so complicated, we wouldn’t have to get tricky.

Oh, and for the record, that is NOT why I have my rabbits.  I am one of those who really do love his little fluffs.  Even when they try to disembowel me.

To be honest Kafrn, I wouldn’t bother emailing. I mean it won’t hurt and certainly do so if you want. It’s just that there would be TONS of these “How Too” guides out there. Guys that want to use these sort of tactics are going to get ideas from other like-minded guys or come up with their own ways.
I’m sure there’d be plenty of guys who think the tactic is lame and irresponsible too.

Maybe guys should try the Floor-IgnoreTechnique. lol

Jers, I’m pretty sure my husband used the floor-ignore technique with me. I guess it worked! Haha.

Ah, don’t listen to me! Get fired up all you want. You could be one of many making a complaint. I guess if enough people do complain, they might try amend this. So I withdraw my blase comment of “I wouldn’t bother”

Wasn’t there a movie, “Must Love Dogs” that had that same basic premise for the plot? I never saw the movie but I heard about it… doesn’t the guy respond to a dating website ad and decides to rent/borrow a dog to date a woman who happens to love dogs, even tho he does not like dogs? (Or something, I could be totally wrong…)

I think most of the ladies will agree with me when I say, we did not suspect that MarkBun adopted his rabbits to elicit a relationship of any kind.
Are you kidding me…going through what he did to get those two bonded? THAT’S commitment! ^_^

I have to admit though…one of the first things that appealed to me about my hubby 26 years ago was his totally lovable black Persian cat. ^_^ He was the greatest cat/dog/person I’ve ever known…lol. Sadly, Drac’s been gone about 16 years now, but we still speak of him with reverence.
The first time I met this cat, I picked him up (over warning protests that he would fillet me) and put him on his back in my arms like a baby and started cooing over him. I can still see his eyes looking at my husband pitifully as if to say, “Dad….what have you brought home this time?? HELP!”
