I used to have a lot of the same type of problem. Guys sometimes like to hang out with herper girls, but if it's not something they're into themselves they get this view of girls who talk about their latest lizard or snake breeding project as being unfeminine or nerdy or obsessive. Luckily I have recently become engaged to a wonderful man. When did I know he was the one? When we first started dating he had never really thought about keeping reptiles so I was worried, but he actually loved all my animals and starting wanting some of his own. The first present I bought him was his first snake, and he loves her. Now he's investing in some of my projects and buying some of his own and raising bugs so we can feed everything cheaper. We have great plans for this year's breeding season (no pun intended) and it's really great to finally be able to share this part of my life and talk about it as much as I like without feeling like some kind of freak. It's a great feeling, so hold out for it everyone!
