I got over my arachnophobia thanks to the spider from Eight Legged Freak. Not the movie version, the actual spider they filmed.
She was so warm, soft, and unexpectedly gentle.
I managed to get to the point where I could hold her and place her on my chest.
I still don't like spiders and get uncomfy around them, but I can tolerate them enough to catch and release outside.
I hope my garden attracts several - they're handy to eat pests and mosquitos.

Lucky him. I am not scared of spiders.

I don't think it's a big deal...
spider and roaches are very common fears and phobias
and I know a couple of Marines that would always go into battle... unless there's a roach on the way, lmao, then they would go step back and go around
I think the women will keep the guy and just buy a cat or small dog for spider killing. Hell, women would have a guy who had a phobia of babies and pidgeon over dating a guy who was 5'10" or only earned $40K a year.

Call your exboyfriend? Ya you blew it... You did not him.
Learn from this following lesson, please.
The Husband Store – Still True
A store that sells new husbands has opened in Melbourne , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor , where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer
The third, fourth, fifth & sixth floors have never been visited.If that happened, we will both be sleeping in another home. My boyfriend hates spiders, it doesn't bother me at all. Silly thing is, we both laugh and joke with each other when freaking out about seeing a spider. So when we finally live together, I don't mind not sleeping in our master bedroom if we saw a spider that huge.
No problem. I like spiders. Unless it is a wolf spider, they don't bite unless you squash them and most can't puncture your skin anyway. If it was a big spider, I let him watch as I scooted it up on my hand and took it outside and let it go. After a few times, he could see that spiders don't bite and he will lose his fear of spiders.
First of all, too tall! LOL
Second of all, 6 figures means nothing if we are facing the biggest threat known to man. What use does he have if he can't kill a spider? He doesn't even have to kill it, just remove it, put it outside and seal the windows and doors :DAs long as he can kill the roaches... I have a big fear of insects, enough to make me cry when asked to throw away a dead cockroach. But I like spiders, can probably deal with taking them outside or even adopting one without worries. If my boyfriend can't gt the insects guess my pet spider will have to do the job.
OK follow-up question. What about a guy with all of this whose spider phobia isn't all that bad?
Asking for a friend who thought it was a good idea to do some cheesy flex on a site that especially hates cheesy flexes.Lol I don't mind spiders. You know how essential spiders are? They keep away all the other nasty bugs you don't want in the house.
I think our shared phobia will strengthen our bond as we try to figure out a plan to get the spider out of the house.
Guess we'd both just avoid that area of the house lmao-
You described me pretty well, except my package is 8".
I don’t need a man to catch a spider and put it outside. I can do it.
Well my super buff and jacked boyfriend is terrified of caterpillars and roaches, I also hate them but I’m usually the brave one that get rids of them lmao
I like spiders, if I find one in the house I'll try to catch it and let it go outside.
I'll deal with the spiders if he deals with the cockroaches. Not afraid, just hate the crunch they do when they're killed.
not my dream guy but i'm not scared of spiders so he's good
Literally you just described my perfect man. I can deal with that spider phobia lol
I can deal with that because I also have a fear of spiders
Wow you have great credentials for being such a pussy
That's his issue, not mine. I don't care
how is that a deal breaker lol
