Do you look like a spider person???

[Magenta]

Yessss! Gotta figure out how to make teeny tiny eight-armed sweaters for them too!

Would you call that a "T cozy"?

I am a nurse and I am sure I don't look like a spider person to most people. When my son tells his friends that I keep tarantulas I get that "really?" look.

I'm a 50 year old female healthcare professional who wears mom jeans, t-shirts and crocs in my downtime. No makeup, thick glasses, simple nondescript hairstyle (often in a ponytail), with a colorful tattoo of flowers and butterflies in full view around my wrist and forearm. Kind of nerdy but did fly to another state just for 1 night specifically for a Twenty One Pilots concert, so pretty hip musical tastes too. People are usually surprised when they learn I keep tarantulas and roaches.

People are generally shocked when they find out I keep spiders. I am a 5'10" light-weight and I try to look like this whenever possible:

This was such a fun thread to read (all nine pages yes) Maybe I'm just unhealthily curious about what other spider keepers are like because I know so few in person.

More than one coworker has remarked that they'd have never guessed I kept tarantulas. Am a very petite, awkward Asian. My closet is divided between casual preppy / business casual (from my not-so-long-ago east coast college years ) and company t-shirts. I mostly wear the latter to work because I am a mechanical engineer. Just between you and me, though, I prefer the company of artsy types over that of engineers .

I've never been accused of looking like a spider person, but I did have someone say they weren't surprised when they found out I am a herpetologist. I'd say I'm pretty standard, normal looking guy. Not tattoos, metal band t-shirts, piercings, or non-standard hair colors. I imagine they were just a good judge of character.

Peter Parker looks like a spider guy, well more like a Spiderman. I am a regular guy, 6'1", too fat for what I like, but still athletic enough if you want to try and keep up. I surprise the unknowing when I say I have tarantulas. I love educating people to my hobby (sorry for all of you offended by the term "hobby' as seen in another thread).

I'm offended. You say 6' 1" is normal? If thats the case, at 5' 8" am I a midget? Seriously though, I think 5' 10" is average. Phew, not to far from average.

Dark hair and blue eyes: such a stunning combination!! I always wished I had icy blue eyes. Infact, I am the only one of my 3 siblings who does not have blue eyes.
Meh, oh well... I have been told by multiple, unrelated strangers that I have "vampire eyes." This must be due to the prominent amber in them. (my avatar pic is not a good reference, fyi)

You are a Vampire.

I said I am a regular guy. You changed it to “normal” and focused on the height aspect. Regular guy, meaning I do stupid things and say stupid things. Recognize Bro, lol. I’m well rounded, no pun intended. I have a wide variety of interests. Tarantulas are just some of the things I enjoy.

How do spider people look like? :wideyed:

 

[Walker253]

Some of them are pretty scary looking.

 

[shutout2000]

Yep, you'd know it was one if you seen one.

 

[grumpycow3]

5 foot something, male teen, not a music person. kind of a history buff (profile pic) dirty blonde, half shaggy, half combed hair. Blue eyes, skinny.
People go REALLY!!!! when i tell people.

 

[efmp1987]

PAHAHAHHA. I'm definitely scary-looking, like Pennywise.

I suppose sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

See, I definitely look like a spider person in that picture. But in the picture below I'm totally normal looking.

It's in the lipstick. All spider people wear bright lipstick. Just ask @basin79. You should see his lipstick collection. It's right next to his basket tied to a rope, and lotion.
