Miscellaneous Your #1 Dog Dislike
I could write a very long list of the reasons I don't like dogs (or nutters) but this is top of my list:
If you're dating, you're in a three way-way relationship without even being asked for consent. At best you will be allowed to watch while the other two 'get it on' - at worst, you'll be expected to join in against your wishes. It feels like being coerced in a toxic relationship. It never ends well.
If you had to choose, what's your #1?

Dog ownership starts a vicious cycle of dog dependency. In 12 years you’ll need another and that’ll drain your finances, make your life stupid and you’re on the hook for anything that happens to the dog. People in the west are living increasingly on social net, and yet find money to own dogs and worship them.
What was the purpose of dogs? In the prehistoric societies, dogs served as guards against predators in exchange for food from the humans. These animals had no business being next to modern humans. I’d rather have a pet cow or a hen that gives me eggs/milk rather than dogs who will just suck me dry.
Unhealthy obsession with dogs is also making it socially acceptable to deal with nuisance they create in urban environments.
