You've seen them in the street and the
park: those dogs that just look so similar to their owners. You will see the regular golden retriever
with the blonde boss and the bulldog with the angry looking bodybuilder for a
boss. But how much do dogs really say
about us and to they have an influence on our relationships?
According to research conducted in The
Netherlands our dogs can have a substantial influence on our love lives. The type of dog you own can determine how you
are perceived by the opposite sex.
Apparently over 75% of the research respondents
agreed that flirting with a dog is easier than without. The most common answer
appeared to be: “Having a dog by your side gives you something to hold on to.
But you don’t have to talk to the dog or include the dog in the conversation as
you would with a friend.”
So which dog should you keep on your side
when going out for a flirt? Should you opt for a feminine Chihuahua or a manly
Boxer? Which dog will give the right
impression on the other sex? Or the better question: which dog will you bring
out with you when you’re looking for love?
According to the research it can make a
significant difference which type of dog you own when you go dating someone
new. In general men rather date a woman who owns a Pug than a German Sheppard. Women
rather date a man that owns a Boxer than a Maltese.
The reason behind this preference can be
subscribed to the characteristics of the dog race, which we also describe to
the owner of the dog, only just after seeing both. Women almost always see the
boxer as sexy, successful and intelligent. Men love to see a woman with a Pug because
they associate this dog with success, intelligence and loyalty. For dating
purposes men would like to see a sexy dog like a Chihuahua but when it comes to
finding a partner they prefer a Pug.
Dogs like Golden Retrievers, Terriers and
Dachshunds are dogs that will make you look friendly and loyal. So next time you
go out to park you should make sure to bring the right dog with you. Go for the sexy Chihuahua, the faithful Pug or
the friendly Golden Retriever. It depends which result you are looking for.
The best places to find love with your dog
are parks. Most dog owners don’t mind to strike up a conversation with a fellow
dog owner. However, when you are going out on a date you might fancy something
different than a stroll in the park.
