This is always the answer, regardless of context.

My SO's cat hated me when we first met. Many years later, he (the cat) refuses to go to bed unless I've given him his belly rubs and tucked him in, with my SO also in the bed or it doesn't count.

If I were a single man, this would be a huge draw. Bring me your weirdest cuddle-kicker-lickers, your fuzzy, somewhat abusive little sons and daughters.

Right on. I've always taken the runt of the litter for pets. They have a lot more personality imo

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I adopted two brothers, the runt and the one that stuck with him. It’s the brother that grooms my hair endlessly, the runt is the one that always sneaks his way into being the little spoon. Usually upside down so he can fart in my face 🤣

Cat farts are rough lol

This one hasn't figured out that they arent single

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think you're actually married.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Milo thinks so too.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

As a man, I'm willing to let Milo lick my hair while I sleep.

You can sleep on the couch.

Probably better companion than the men

Source: I’m a man and I would choose the cat

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Animals are 100% better companions than humans, man or woman, or whatever.

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

I disagree, my wife doesn't. Please explain?

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 17 points 3 days ago (4 children)

As a bald man, I may consider staying with you as I suppose no hair will be licked.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

other hair may also be licked---my dog is really into beards and eyebrows. He also tries to get into ear canals. For him, though, you just need to wash off the tasty, tasty face oils. Then he gives a single lick and walks off in disappointment.

My dog likes licking armpits. It’s usually only my own, but when he’s mauling you if you put your arms up and he sees pit he’s going for it.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 days ago

My partner's the tasty one in the relationship. I don't wear lotion or anything, he just isn't into my flavor :(

Dog: PITS! PITS! PITS! [NSFW album cover... on YouTube? 😮]

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 11 points 3 days ago

Their tongues are pretty rough, you don't want them licking your scalp either.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Presumably, you still have hair elsewhere on your body.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 2 points 3 days ago

You pre-zoomed correctly.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 1 points 3 days ago

Below the belt, yes.

Imagine having a cat where you’re the little spoon.

The Rizzler himself

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 days ago

The question I have that will never be answered is what happens if she cuts her hair short or dates a man with long hair?

[–] Kinokoloko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

My hair is free for any and all cat lickies

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

That's what you get for accepting a god into your home.
