Hello, I'm making my uncle's christmas present. He's a fisherman, and bilingual (grench andnour mothertongue). I'd love to embroider his present with the meme "fish want me, women fear me"; would anyone be so kind to translate that into French? My French is limited to basic greetings and tourist questions I'm afraid... Thank you in advance to anyone so kind!
I would say "les poissons me veulent, les femmes me craignent".
If you want something that rhymes, you could try: "les poissons m'adorent, les femmes m'abhorrent".
"Abhorrer" means to loathe, so it's not an equivalent. But it does rhyme.
Else, you could go with "les poissons m'aiment, les femmes me craignent" which is closer to the original (it would mean "fishes love me, women fear me"). And it does not sound bad, musically.
It depends of what you want to convey. hk's answer is the most literal translation.
