Apart from being man’s best friend, dogs are slowly getting the reputation of being quite the cupid when it comes to dating apps.
According to a recent survey, dating app users swipe right and find someone interesting whenever a person’s profile has dog photos in it!
The survey enlisted 2,000 Americans who have used and are still using dating apps. Half of the respondents were actual pet owners and studies showed that they have swiped right on numerous occasions just to have a chance to meet someone’s dog. To put it bluntly, some were more interested in meeting the dogs than the actual owner of the dogs!
Now you know why there are so many dog photos on dating apps! And if you want to improve your chances of finding your one true love, you might want to consider enlisting your pet’s help!
The study also revealed that dog owners intentionally post photos of their dog to increase their chances of getting a match and having a date. And this proved to be true as the study revealed that dating profiles with dog photos get more matches.
It’s funny to note that this dog-magic seems to be common knowledge because 39% of the participants admit to even going out of their way to borrow other people’s dogs to improve their chances! The downside though is the upset after the reveal that the dog in the profile wasn’t actually owned by someone’s person of interest. Of the respondents, 53% were recorded to have been upset after finding out that the dog that got them interested didn’t actually belong to their dates.
At the end of the day, honesty is still the best policy! So for single people out there who don’t have a dog yet, please do consider having a dog! It will bring so much joy in your life and might just increase your chances of finding the love of your life!
