“The [women in the study] were more than twice as likely as the gents to say that they were attracted to someone because he had a pet, and also about twice as likely to judge their date based on how they reacted to a furry companion,” the Independent says of the research, which was done in collaboration with PetSmart and based on a survey of Match.com subscribers.
