LAYAAN Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 There is a man, age 29. He has lots of images of lizards in his house. Hold on, I'll tell you what I mean by "lots". He bought a new house, hung a plate that reads "Palace of Gecko" by the front porch. Has a 1 foot idol of gecko outside the front door to feel people welcomed. You enter the living room... at least 10 images of 5-6 inch tall different varieties of gecko on top of the fireplace, a CD rack in shape of gecko, a stuffed gecko on his couch, small sorta headrest with picture of gecko, an incense powder burner with legs in shape of gecko, a big gecko with some electric lights in it, once you plug it in, it moves its tail and head. Are you still there and breathing? Alright, Now his bedroom, its gets a little better. He has a dressing table sorta and it has small gecko stickers and magnets hanging on the sides of the mirror. His email ID is gecko something something. His pet name is gecko. I'm kinda concerned if this is normal for a man his age? If things work out I'd be interested in dating this guy. Not sure yet. I went to his home with a bunch of friends. Link to comment
annie24 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 lol!!! I think that geckos are actually lucky. I don't know. it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. sounds like that is his favorite animal. it sounds kind of cute. geeky, but cute. Now, if a man would rather watch a documentary about geckos rather than make love to me, i would see that as a red flag! Link to comment
Gabo Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Sounds kind of weird to me................. is it just kind of a joke? Worth asking him about at the least, I would think! Link to comment
Lucius Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Normal? No, I don't think so. But not necessarily something to worry about either. Link to comment
annie24 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 i don't see this as too different than a woman who has several puppy or kitten items around the house - cat pillows, pictures of cute cats. i think that is common. crazy cat ladies need love too!!! does he have a cage filled with geckos too? they are sooo cute. they walk all funny.

LAYAAN Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Sounds kind of weird to me................. is it just kind of a joke? Worth asking him about at the least, I would think! Oh, no, I'm serious man, this is not a joke. I wish it was a joke. I asked, he said what Annie says "Gecko is his favorite animal." Oh and I forgot to mention. His pet name is gek or gecko. His email ID is gecko123 something. Link to comment
Lucius Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Have you asked him about it? "So um ... you like lizards, huh?" Link to comment
Gabo Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Yeah, I guess....... I mean, there could be a lot worse problems with a guy. It just doesn't seem like if I were a girl it would be something I would find very attractive. Just kind of dorky.... but again some people would like that. So in summary: creepy........... no. disturbing....... no. weird......... I guess. nerdy...... definitely. Link to comment

He had geckos initially. Now he doesn't. He is planning on having some soon. Link to comment

sidehop Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 That's pretty extreme! Nothing wrong with it really but I'm sure some people will find that a bit too much. Maybe his underwear has prints of geckos and sleeps with stuffed geckos? The mind starts to wander when you hear things like this. Link to comment
LAYAAN Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 You know, I hate reptiles. All reptiles except turtles. I don't find any reptile cute at all. I cringe at the thought/image of a reptile. What should I do? Link to comment
annie24 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 i would find attractive his love of animals. it's important to me to date a man who loves animals and it would also signify to me that he has a kind heart. however, if we were to get a place together, i'd probably take charge of interior decoration. and let him do his office in all gecko. not the living room, lol. however, i think it would also be a cute theme for a kid's room......my nephews love geckos.

Who knows what prints he has on his underwear. I will keep an eye though next time on... thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment

What should I do? This is a hard one since he's obviously obsessed with geckos. I almost want to believe about what annie said about the documentary on geckos vs. making love. When someone is this passionate about a subject, you do have to think. Link to comment
sidehop Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 omg tinu, get over it. is this guy dateable or not? What if they were making love and pop comes out the gecko from underneath the bed or crawling all over the ceiling! Link to comment
annie24 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 What if they were making love and pop comes out the gecko from underneath the bed or crawling all over the ceiling! lol!!!!! they are so cute though, they walk so funny! when i was staying in the south pacific, i had a whole gecko family in my room. at night i'd see a mommy gecko, daddy gecko, baby geckos.....

LAYAAN Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 omg tinu, get over it. is this guy dateable or not? I'm trying to get over it. I'm afraid of all reptiles Annie. I don't know why. I just have never liked them. This guy is dating material. I just wanted to know what all those geckos meant because I've never ever seen this in men from my culture at least. I don't know enough about men in this culture. Link to comment
LAYAAN Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 What if they were making love and pop comes out the gecko from underneath the bed or crawling all over the ceiling! God, please, please, I would start screaming and running around naked. I hate those things. Link to comment
sidehop Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 They are definitely harmless but do give off some creepiness in a weird way. In some cultures they are considered sacred. He may have deeper roots for his obsession. Link to comment

renaissancewoman101 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I don't see anything wrong with having a love for geckos (and having gecko stuff all over the place). I love guinea pigs and have 4 guinea pigs as pets. I also have a few stuffed animal guinea pigs around, as well as 3-4 guinea pig figurines on my desk. Link to comment
annie24 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 i wonder if he has geico insurance.....??? hmmmm..... geckos are revered in polynesian cultures. Link to comment
