Omg I’m crying
That is truly one of the best journeys I’ve been on in a while.
This is extra accurate because mint will literally keep growing anywhere, years after you thought you pulled it all up.
Backstory: so, this is basically the last place online where I don’t have my classic “Me holding a cute barn kitty in Iceland” photo that I use as an avatar everywhere.
Kitty for scale:
Thus when I saw this article I had a good chuckle: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/22/world/cat-men-dating-study-scli-intl-scn-wellness/index.html
But I LIKE cats, dangit!
That is a very cute picutre.
As someone allergic to cats I am less likely to swipe right on someone with a cat in the profile, but its allergy based not thinking men who like cats are less masculine
That is a very good reason! Personally, if the masculine part is the problem re: swiping I’m totally okay missing out on that interaction - found the research pretty funny though!
Same.
My crush on Daveed Diggs is never going away.
We didn’t meet through online dating so no profile pictures were involved, but I married my husband because he loves cats. And probably some other reasons too, but mostly cats.
I met my partner through online dating. Enjoying cats was a requirement, because I already had a beloved 8 year old kitty and she definitely came way before dudes I didn’t know.
I think one of the reasons those photos look so bad is that they look like the sort of photos you take for the high school yearbook. That’s not a good look generally, and bringing a cat in is just weird. A naturalistic, unposed photo of a Person Of Dating Interest and a cat? Not weird at all.
Yep, I used to avoid anyone with cats. Ended up moving in with a man and his two cats. This is the risk of meeting in person, people! No pet screening!
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the goofy photos! Lol
I know they’re doing this instead of press interviews and late night shows but I like this SO MUCH MORE.
