I'm not talking about a goldfish, but more like a dog/cat which requires a significant amount of attention.
Whenever I talk to people about it, or see people fawn over dogs in the office or in the street I wonder how big is the silent minority of people who don't like pets.
Personally, it's not like I hate them-- but for the most part I don't get a lot of enjoyment from them and the amount of effort you need to put in is waaaaay more than I'd be willing for what you get back.
After looking at the hundredth dating profile with dog pics or saying "don't talk to me if you don't like cats", I wonder if some people (specifically heterosexual males) over-exaggerate their fondness for pets. Or am I the only sour one?
