Fishkeeping hobbyist stereotypes you encounter when people learn of your hobby?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Definitely not talking to any girls or checking my self out in the mirror when you have been working out as long as I have all that gets old quick
 
Not interested in bragging but u called me out I have 1000 more pics if u have any more disbelief and a couple NPC magazine pics inside NPC magazine if u want to see any of those as well.

Not calling you out at all, congratulations on the hard work and results, you are an inspiration to those of who want to improve our physiques through weight training. Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Getting in shape might actually counteract some of those geeky stereotypes, which is good for every body.
 
If you like it then who cares

Sure, if youre a hermit or shut in you dont have to care what anyone thinks but getting along in real life, meeting people, making connections, building relationships, well, that requires caring about what others think of us and the way we present ourselves.
 
Never have I met someone who thought my aquariums are weird. All of my friends think my FH are cool cause of the size. My girlfriend loves my fish, I think she named them but I can't remember for sure... However, my dad thinks its a waste of money.

Yeah, like a lot of folks here have said, when people come over and see the tanks theyre more inclined to be positive about it. The weirdness mostly comes when meeting people for the first time and just saying you keep fish tanks. Like on a first date, business meeting or something such - situations where were judged and under scrutiny anyway. In those types of scenarios were most likely to be judged as weirdos, loners or fish cuddlers by those outside the hobby.
 
That's what I get every single person whos sees my tanks is so amazed it's quite flattering and like I said in another post iv got well over 10k invested in that one tank whos else can say they have a item set up in there home worth that much you get what u pay for and it looks as good as every penny I spent on it.
