Guys, if
you’ve tried - and failed - with chocolates, roses or champagne, a Golden
Retriever or Labrador may be just the thing
you need.
According
to the results of a recent online survey for the Petcare Information and
Advisory Service, 81% of women said that they found a man who owns a dog more
appealing than a man who does not. A
further 38% of women selected a Golden Retriever or Labrador
as the most appealing dog for a man to own.
82% of women
who responded to the survey agreed that the type of dog a man owns reflects his
personality. According to the results of the survey, it appears that Labradors and Retrievers are associated with being a
responsible family man.
And it
seems that whatever women might say about liking sensitive men, it doesn’t
necessarily hold true. When asked to
nominate the type of dog that it would be least appealing for a man to own,
Pugs, Shih Tzus and Poodles received the highest score - 51% of the votes. These dogs were also nominated by 62% of
women as likely to be owned by sensitive men.
The survey
also showed that having a dog with you helps in getting the conversation going,
with 82% of respondents agreeing that it would be more likely for a
conversation to occur if the man had a dog with him.
“These
results are a lighthearted look at the relationship between man and his four
legged best friend but they are supported by a wide range of academic research,
including recent research conducted at the University of Western
Australia,” said Ms Susie Willis from the Petcare
Information and Advisory Service.
“Research
by Dr Lisa Wood at that University’s School
of Population Health showed
that pets encourage social contact, the exchange of favours and increased perceptions
of the friendliness of a suburb and sense of community,” said Ms Willis.

Hi Deborah... you simply cannot go wrong, on the attractiveness stakes, with a dog! And if you love your dog, would you want to be with someone who didn't share your love? I don't think so!!
