One observation I made over the years... As someone who grew up with four dogs and three cats, I am irked by extreme "dog people". I'm talking about the people who say things like "I don't trust people who don't like dogs" and insist the dog goes everywhere with them and demanding every destination cater to their dog. Something about that feels selfish, demanding and controlling, similar to the subservient relationship they have with their dog. They enjoy being a master and controlling things. They enjoy subservient relationships. It not only bugs me, it grosses me out. This brings me to a silly observation I made while using dating sites: the "crazy dog lady" stereotype. I'm sure most of us here are familiar with the "crazy cat lady" stereotype. She is often portrayed as a woman who has given up on finding a mate and instead adopts numerous cats to fill in the social voids of not having a family. In contrast, The crazy dog lady doesn't even realize her situation. Her profile is filled with pictures of her and her dog at various locations. She might even have a picture at an exotic vacation destination with their dog. The profile usually states things like "we're a package deal" and "If foofy doesn't like you then we wont get along". That is the kind of person I steer far away from because to me, she isn't looking for a mate, she is looking for another dog.
