HOKAY.

So I want you to answer this seriously.

If a guy invited your over to see his pet chinchilla [a real one not an innuendo for his penis] would you go?  Do you think a chinchilla would get you to go back to a guy you were on a dates with place? Could the chinchilla be like Barney’s [How I Met Your Mother] mini pig? Do you think chinchillas are cute?

My friend is considering a chinchilla and I just need to prove a point.

For those of you who don’t know what a chinchilla is: [This is actually the exact one he’d get]

Reblog and help me get as many answers as possible.

Thank you!

That is probably one of the worst reasons to get a pet I have ever heard. Pets aren’t trophies. They’re living, breathing animals that require care and attention. And chinchillas need a lot of care and attention.

If I ever found out a guy got a pet (be it dog, cat, chinchilla, or a damn gold fish) to pick up chicks, it would be an automatic deal breaker for me. He could be perfect in every other way, and I’d still leave.

Yeah, obviously this was a joke and I’ve now said that several times. I take care of chinchillas and other exotic animals for a living. Don’t worry I know what kind of care they need. Not directed at you, but people need to get off their high horse and take a joke. I even threw in the mini pig reference to further point out that this isn’t serious.

  7. cyndaquilpoop answered: Definietly like Barney’s teacup pig! I’ve never met a guy who has a chinchilla but I’d go over. (; Chinchillas are CUTE~ :D

  9. nathar answered: OH GODS NO. Chinchillas require a RIDICULOUS amount of care and love and sounds like your friend isn’t prepared to properly take care of it.

  11. rachael-g answered: Yes, unless he was super creepy. But I’m kind of obsessed with chinchillas, so I may not be the best judge of this…
  12. boobs-radley answered: chinchillas are adorable, but using them as a pick-up is kind of creepy.
