Being in Love with our Pets - the Deal-Breaker we weren’t Expecting!

A recent survey revealed a whopping 66 percent of single pet owners wouldn’t date someone who didn’t like pets. Over 1,000 single people were asked about their dating deal breakers as part of the survey to unveil the truth about our beloved cats and dogs - and their dating pros and cons.

 










   
Have you ever come across the perfect profile but then reading their profile you discover they don’t like cats? Or been instantly put off by a profile pic of someone smooching their dog? - for many of us these would be dating deal breakers.
 
As we suspected our furry friends are pretty important when it comes to who we date - almost half of those asked revealed to putting their complete faith in their dog's judgement of their dates!
Here are a few other eye-opening results about the guys:
  • Men are almost 4 times more likely to use their pet to attract a potential date (22% vs. 6% of women)
  • Nearly six out of 10 men think their date's choice in pets says a lot about their personality
  • Only 30% of men judge their date based on how their pet reacts to their date 
Here are a few other eye-opening results about the girls:
  • 35% of single women have been more attracted to someone because of their pet – we can see why John Legend
  • 27% of women find photos of pets in an online dating profile a turn-off
  • 48% judge their date based on how their pet reacts to them
Things get a little hairy too when it comes to mixing dog people with cat people. While those who fancy felines are much more open to the idea - 97 percent of cat owners would have a relationship with a "dog person" but just 66 percent of dog owners would be open to dating a cat person – ouch!

So with 4 of out 5 singles being pet lovers maybe it’s time to visit the local shelter???
