A quick bit of trivia about me, I love dogs and as a kid we had 20 dogs.
Yes, at the same time.
See, we lived outside of Midland, Texas had quite a bit of land.
My aunt who I was living with because my parents had moved out of state, she could never turn
away a stray.
So, we had all these dogs and kept building up.
Now, we had horses, cats, tons of other animals, but it was the dogs that I truly loved.
They were just so loyal, friendly.
When I would go out for a run, they would follow me.
But the point being is dogs are awesome.
And in today's video, guys, I'm going to show you how dogs, plus being a well-dressed man
can take your attraction levels to a whole another level.
Now, the first study we're going to talk about is a 2015 study and this study, cats, dogs,
and dating preferences.
Now, there were three key takeaways from this study and the number one is that women in
general love pet people, pet men especially.
Shows off sometimes you're going to be patient, you're going to be empathetic, that you have
a nurturing ability about you.
Now, the second point in this study, this one was interesting is that if you're a cat
guy and you're dating a woman that loves dogs, there may be a little bit of animosity between
the two and she could actually like you less and it's probably better if you didn't have
animals.
So, I'm not saying it can't work out, but -- and I would love to hear from some of you
guys down in the comments if you've ever ran into this where, yeah, you're dating a woman
and you find out she loves cats you love dogs and their and the end date ends there.
Now, the third point to take from this study is that women who are dog people oftentimes
infer, they read into if you own a dog they're going to make a lot of assumptions about you,
sometimes based off of the type of dog that you have and the way that you treats a dog
everything that goes into it.
Partly, because they're very empathetic they actually have the animal they know what it
takes they've got their preference, you know, if you own a poodle if you own a pit bull,
probably they're going to look at you differently, if you have a Chihuahua.
You know I'm not going to say what it is, they didn't get specifics about the animals,
but it is something that, hey, she has judgments, she has certain beliefs, she has ways that
she takes care of her animal, and she may make quick decisions about you based off of
what she sees there.
Study number two and this comes out of the British Journal of Psychology, it was conducted
in 2000.
And what they saw is having a pet enhanced your fashion and made you more approachable.
So, this is how it worked, they actually had four groups.
They had well-dressed men, not very well dressed men, they had pet owners, and non pet owners
and they used dogs in the study.
And so, guys out there that were well-dressed compared to guys that were not well-dressed,
yes, they were more approachable, more people said hi, more people interacted, more people
had conversations with them.
Then, pet owners versus non pet owners.
If you're out walking your dog, you're going to have more people interacting with you if
you're walking your dog same person.
But, here's where it gets really interesting.
If you are well-dressed and you're walking your dog, you beat out all of them.
So, that combination right there was the most approachable.
I think it was like a by a factor of three that we saw people coming up interacting,
you know just talking to you randomly about your dog.
So, if you're wanting to meet someone you don't know her or him very well, then simply
dress well and take your dog for a walk.
Study number three this one was conducted in the year 2008 and what they measured is
are people willing to help you, are they willing to give you money, is she going to give you
her number based off of if you are with an animal.
So, again, dogs were used in the study.
Now, the first part of the study they measured asking for money.
They basically had a guy at a at a bus station, he didn't have money for a fare.
In one case, he's just going up and asking people for money.
In another case, he is asking for money with a dog.
What they saw is that you're three times more likely, it went from like 10% of people gave
the guy money to when he had the dog 30%.
Now, what's really interesting here is that the amount of money he received also percentage-wise
increased like 10% when he had the dog.
Now, when it comes to getting her number, so this was if you just simply ask a woman
that is a stranger in a park and you're talking with her and then you ask for her number,
only 10 it was less than 10%, it's like 9% of women would give a number.
And here's where it gets crazy is that if you have a dog guess how many times you are
more likely?
Three times.
It went from 9% to almost 30% of the time.
So, you're wanting to get her number, you've been out walking your dog sometimes you see
her when you're just out jogging.
Make sure if you're going to interact and you're going to talk for that woman you're
going to ask her for her number so that you can follow up, you have your dog with you.
You are three times more likely to get what you want.
Study number four this was conducted in 2013, it came out of the Journal of
Evolutionary Psychology.
And what they measured here is the difference a dog would make if you are a dad or a cad.
So, a dad he's a nice guy.
He is marriage material, he's the guy that women just look at he's going to be a great
provider.
The cad, he's the player, he's the bad boy, he's the guy that, yeah, he may be great for
an affair he may be great for a short term relationship a one-night stand, but he's not
someone that you want to actually have raise your kids.
And so, both of these guys they actually presented I think was over a hundred women they presented
them the different scenarios different stories.
Now, as we expected without dogs, you know, cads were long-term attractive not very much
like, yeah, I'd want to have an affair with them one-night stand, but I don't really want
to, you know, be with him for years because he's just not the kind of guy I'm going after.
But, when we put in the dog, guess what happened?
For the dads, we saw no bump in increase in their long-term attractiveness, they were
the same level that they had been before which was, you know, pretty attractive.
But, with the cads, they all of a sudden shot up and became much more attractive for a long-term
relationship.
If you're a bad boy and you want to come off as more attractive, go out there with your
dog.
Women instantly say, wow, look at this.
They see something deeper in that you could be long-term potential and you have the benefit
of being a bad boy.
All right, guys.
