For the lazy:

Simple Summary

People use dating sites to look for both long-term and short-term potential partners. Previous research suggests that the presence of a pet may add to women’s perceptions of male attractiveness and dateability. This study sought to understand to what degree, if any, the presence of a cat has on women’s perceptions of men. Women responded to an online survey and rated photos of men alone and men holding cats on measures of masculinity and personality. Men holding cats were viewed as less masculine; more neurotic, agreeable, and open; and less dateable. These results varied slightly depending whether the women self-identified as a “dog person” or a “cat person.” This study suggests that a closer look at the effects of different companion species on perceived masculinity and dateability is warranted.

But I thought posing with pets adds "PeRSoNaliTy" and is attractive!!!

Tbh, not even sure I'd call this blackpill, but it's still hilarious how so many things that inceltears and other redditors say end up being exact opposite in reality.

I'm too lazy to read but I already know what to say. It's the Halo Effect even in this case. Trust me, a good looking man even with a cat will be perceived as attractive because that's how we humans are tricked. We associate a good looking physique with good traits. If you are average looking or ugly, you will be perceived as undatable, cringe, momma's boy if you post yourself with cats.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong to have a pet, but when you carry it to your dating life, things get a little strange. It's like you're exposing a confort point or fragility. Some things are meant to be revealed after some point of conversations and few dates. When you show your pet in dating apps is like posting a picture of a family member... People shouldn't expose family members on dating scene. Too private.

I had my kitten in my tinder profile, I got loads of women hitting me up first cause of him. It didn’t seem to hinder my success, I got over 3000 matches in 6 months. Was dating and sleeping around constantly throughout that.

Men with cats are a green light imo. I have a cat, and I won’t date men who are allergic or don’t like them
