New study states obvious, says women are more attracted to men with dogs
Um, duh.
In the latest of a series of studies that confirm what we already knew, researchers have stated that women like men who like dogs. Well, pets in general really.
A team of researchers from a number of education facilities who surveyed over 1,200 online daters in the United States found that pets do play a role in the dating world.
Of those surveyed, the women were more than twice as likely as the men to say they were attracted to someone because they owned a pet.
They were also twice as likely to judge their potential suitor based on how they interacted with a pet.
The research team suggested the attraction to men with pets is most likely linked to his potential role as a partner and parent.
“Women tend to be more discerning in their mate preferences than men; women expend considerable energy evaluating a male partner’s capacity to provide resources to her and her offspring, including his emotional commitment and capacity to contribute valued resources,” the researchers wrote.
Um, duh. You can read more about the study here.
