Anecdotally, I was once told many years ago by a woman on a date that men are supposed to like dogs, not cats, because something adjacent to "dogs are for boys and cats are for girls". The date went well, but I did not follow up.
So, I see truth in their assessment, but I strongly question their conclusion.
> if heterosexual men are looking to get a match, it’s probably a good idea if they save showing off their photos with their favorite felines for the first or second date
Or you might not want to build a relationship with someone who thinks that owning a cat isn't "manly", and this becomes a good filter.
- LudwigNagasena 6y agoIt’s expected that you show your best on your dating profile. And the dating market is oversaturated. It is not about not liking someone because he is not manly enough with a cat in his hands. It is about a multitude of unconscious factors that make a woman swipe left without even thinking a single word in their head.
- ebg13 6y ago> show your best > It is not about not liking someone because he is not manly enough with a cat in his hands...It is about a multitude of unconscious factors Unconscious factors like thinking that a man with a cat isn't manly or "best".
- bigbubba 6y agoSounds like there's nothing unconscious about it, at least in the case you described.
