February 14 is Valentine’s Day, when lovers celebrate their special day. Love should be declared and shown every day, but even more so on this day. If you are in love with someone, show them, tell them “I love you,” hug them…
Many people find it difficult to say the words “I love you”. They are simple and short, but they mean so much that many people are afraid to say them. To love means putting yourself in the other person’s place, accepting them just as they are.
Perhaps you are worried because you do not love anyone, or rather, you are not in love. Don’t worry, because if you have a pet, you are surely deeply in love with them. You can even celebrate it with them and buy them a little gift.
But did you know that your ARISTOPET can help you find your other half? According to a study led by Professor Peter Gray of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, pets can have a positive influence on the choice of a partner.
What influence do pets have on your love life?
The reason supporting the idea that pets influence people’s love lives is that “animals are increasingly seen as more domesticated and integrated into society as another member of the family,” Gray explained. Therefore, the way someone cares for their pet reflects how that person would treat their partner or children.
The study’s data, led by Peter with the collaboration of Justin García from Indiana University, were obtained from a 2014 survey of Match.com users. A total of 1,200 people responded, 60% of whom were women. The results concluded that women were more selective when taking an interest in a man, and that having a pet was one of the reasons.
Among pets, dogs, unlike cats, are the ones that make people appear most attractive. Women, in particular, when choosing a man, paid attention to how he cared for his pet as a reflection of his ability to care for a partner. They were even asked whether they would date someone who did not like pets, and of a sample of 727 women, 75% said no.
Therefore, a woman is more likely to feel attracted to someone because they have a pet. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to use pets to attract someone on a date.
