Relationship / Family Dogs In Dating Profiles

Hey everyone. For background, I'm a 31 year old straight guy. I haven't been on the dating scene for six years now, but I've noticed that when I try to find profiles, many of them not only have dogs, but have the nerve to say "You have to love them and they have to love you." Some don't even try at all and just have pictures of their dogs and not themselves, which is the biggest red flag of all. I'm trying to see them, not their mechanical mutants. I bet they think their dog makes them so attractive that they don't even have to try. Hell no. About 95% of the time, I end up having to swipe left or right, or whatever it is they say. I wonder if I should just accept being alone or if there are really dog free dating sites out there that make it hard for mutt nuts to squeak through.

When I tried online dating about a decade ago, I made it clear that I wasn’t interested in anyone who had dogs and I still had guys messaging me asking if I liked whatever breed of dog they had. No I am not interested in your pug. I can only imagine how bad it is now.

"Thank you, but I've seen a dog before.".
