More Equal Than Others: Having Certain Breeds of Dogs Improve Your Chances on Dating Apps
FOLLOW US ON:
People love dogs on the internet and this infatuation with the furry friends can actually help you find love. But only if you have the right dog for it.
Some breeds of dogs can help attract romantic interest more than others. In a correlation study, researchers tried to evaluate if having a dog on your online dating profile helped you get picked by a potential partner.
They carried out the experiment on various dating apps. The researchers posted pictures of both men and women with a variety of dogs with them as profile images. Then they analysed the basic stats, depending on the app’s algorithm, on how many got “likes” or “swipes” and so on. They came to a conclusion that there was a pattern in these likes and that certain breeds helped attract romantic interest more. The study was carried out by Canine Cottages, a dog friendly holiday company in the United Kingdom

Confirming the old adage that they are man’s best friend, a survey in 2019 suggested that the principal reasons for owning one were their ability to make them happy (48%), to provide love and affection (45%) and to provide companionship (35%).
