You can also tell a lot about a man based on what kind of animal he chooses for a pet. While many women are willing to accept a man and whatever exotic animals come along with him, the rest of us draw the line with cold-blooded creepy crawlies. Be sure you know where you stand on having certain pets. If you are particular, you may find that a man keeping a python in an aquarium is a deal-breaker. Know where you stand on animal rights issues, hunting and vegetarianism. If you’re the kind of chick who enjoys skinning raccoons or some such thing, good for you! There’s a man out there who is perfect for you and will skin them right alongside you. But if you’re a vegan, for example, you wouldn’t want to date a guy who slaughters cows for a living. Educate yourself about proper pet practices so you can recognize a problem when you see one, and don’t let a man define what you believe about animals. This may seem like a small detail but pay attention to what a man names his dog. I have met men who named their female dogs after porn stars. Ewww! I also met a guy who named his dog a racial slur. Somehow, a guy’s personality manages to shine through with the name of his dog. Always ask how he came up with his pooch’s name. There’s sure to be an entertaining story behind it and you’ll definitely learn something.
