How on EARTH can you rip your leg hairs by the roots, and STILL be afraid of spiders?
 
What does pain tolerance and the fear of spiders have to do with each other?

Not all women are afraid of spiders. Hell, my eight year old daughter isn't afraid of them.

THis thread isn't neccesarrily meant for ALL woman. Sorry, should have made that clear.
 
Little spiders are ok but wouldn't you be scared of this one?

Bloody Hell!

THAT beast is not a spider! It is a circus attraction, and someone should be charging for rides. What the hell did they feed it, missionaries?

Actually smaller spiders are scarier to me. I don't have an intense phobia of them, but I do not like them crawling on me.

Well, for starters, I never have, and never will, rip my leg hairs out by the roots. OWWWWIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE.

Next, I never did understand the spider fear thing. They are small, squishable critters that don't do anything. Sure, the bigger ones I might not like, face to face. But come on... A daddy long legs? Those tiny little microscopic spiders found crawling around your house once in a while?

Tiny! Put a shoe on, step on it. job done.

And yet, I know people (My sister in-law particularly) who will put up the same show, screaming, yelling, jumping up and down, for a trantula, as they will for a daddy long legs.

Yeah, I know, everyone has thier fears. Hell, I have mine. It's snakes. But even I know size DOES matter when dealing with animals smaller then you, and alot more squishable then you. Snakes for me bother me, but it is defiantly the bigger, the more.

I have an unnatural fascination with them as well. If I am in a zoo, I always go to the snake house. If I am flipping through stations, and a snake comes into veiw, I watch. Creepy, huh?
 
Spiders are evil and nasty creatures *shudder*

Now after that pic my feet are in my chair with me.
 
You wake up one day and find a Tarantula the size of a dinner plate on your chest, and see how YOU react GB.

No, I wouldn't. My ex-husband and I raised tarantulas, Rose-kneed Chilean tarantulas. I've let Rosie crawl all over me.

Sorry, spiders just don't creep me out. We had a garden spider the size of my thumb take up residence in the doorframe of the door to our patio. We respectfully used another door until she moved on. In the meantime however, we had a front row seat to one of the most amazing creatures. We (meaning my husband, daughters, and I) watched her build her web and catch her meals.

I've held hissing cockroaches and tobacco worms at the Nation Museum of Natural History. I held snakes and let bats hang from my sleeve. The grossest thing I've dealt with in the animal world is letting a giraffe lick my hand. THAT was yucky.
 
Um... I like spiders! And I shave, not rip. ;) And I have a red-knee tarantula named Delilah. I just got her! And technically, that picture of a spider isn't a tarantula, it's a trapdoor mouse spider. And they're more scared of you than you are of it.
 
Ok, first off that thing in the picture wasn't an spider, it's a monster. I'm sorry but anything that big needs to be squashed if it's in my house. The littler ones<so long as thier body doesn't look like a brown recluse, hobo, or black widow> I'm fine with it. I say hobo spiders, cause my girls and I were literally chased into a corner by one when we were living in WA, and ever since I've been petrified of anything bigger than a daddy long legs
 
I hate...

spiders!

They fascinate me..as long as they are behind glass or a respectable distance away.

Their webs are the only thing known to mankind that can get Thumper to dance...all I gotta do is walk into one.

Try the Sydney Funnel Web spider...that's a killer.
