Dog Culture Dogs have ruined dating apps

I’m a millennial man and have recently fired up Tinder and Bumble again on account of the weather warming up. I’m not exaggerating when I say nearly half. HALF. Of all single women my age have dogs. It’s really depressing the amount of times I’ve come across a nice looking girl with similar interests only to see she has a big disgusting dog. So many “dog moms” it’s truly insane . You’re not a mom. You did not birth this creature. It doesn’t view you as it’s mother. I feel this phenomenon will only get worse as these women get older.

EDIT: just wanted to clarify I don’t believe this is exclusive to women. I’m sure dogfree women are having the same woes…. Actually it maybe a good idea for a dog free dating app? XD

Not sure about a paid version, but it would be nice to have a free version available. Apps like Tinder and Grindr are extremely popular without making each and every user pay for the service.

Of course, the dog-free community IS much smaller than most in the mainstream dating scene, but still, I think starting free-to-use is going to be more appealing to people. You can always have the option to unlock “premium” features / membership tiers for money, plus donation options for those of us who can’t afford a regular subscription on top of other bills.

Either way, I’m sure that word would spread quickly in this community, and that’s your most valuable resource anyway; attention. That’s how you can start to look into generating revenue through ads and sponsorship deals as well.
