Are Snakes More of A Guy or A Gal Thing?

[CA cowgirl]

I had to vote "gals," since - well - I'm a gal with 16 snakes! I have also encountered more snake-fearing men than women, and it especially made me laugh when my roommate's ex was terrified... he was a 6'5" 30 year-old black man, who would shriek like a 12 year-old girl if the snake came within 10 feet of him. On the other hand, most women I tell about my snakes are fascinated and want to meet them. Even those who claim to be afraid will take a chance, and usually end up with one happily wrapped around their neck.

Oh, and I've always been interested in snakes & reptiles, so it's hard to say why or how.

Men are always the biggest babies. Take a horse and 10 women and 10 men - all of which who have never been around horses. Most of the men will have issues with being around or on the horse, most of the women will be eager to be around or on the horse. Take a needle and 10 women and 10 men. Most of the men will be babies! Same goes with snakes! Its really quite funny.

p.s. I'm sorry for bashing on the male gender. I do it in admiration; believe me when I say that. Without a man a home is incomplete... and without the woman a home is incomplete. Its the ying and the yang.
