Yes, yes of course. Dog is man's best friend because they are mega pussy-magnets. Ever since the first cave man realized chicks enjoyed petting his wolf, man has sought canine companionship to help with his hunt. I live in New York and see it every day -- dog parks teeming with these guys. Yes, they love their little Boston Terriers and cute pound puppies on their own, but make no mistake these Dog Dudes know what they're doing. From what breed they own, to where they take the dog to play and poop, to what time of day they let the hound out of the apartment, it's cold-cock calculation.
For example:
Men know women see a man wrestle with his lab and think "Aw, what a playful and loving man. I wonder what sex with him is like."
Men know women see a man pick up every last blob of dog feces and think "Aw, what an eco conscious and respectful man that is. I wonder what sex with him is like."
Men know women see a man walking an ugly as sin dog and think "Aw, what a silent and noble hero this man is; choosing this grotesque dog to call his own surely means he is anything but shallow. I wonder what sex with him is like."
Men know women see a man running alongside a healthy as hell golden retriever and think "Aw, what a sporty, health conscious, get up and go fella that is. I wonder how long he can last in bed"
So yes, dogs offer men a sort of direct advertisement for ladies. But, before I get attacked, Reader please know two things.
One: Not all men have dogs as a tool in their booty-getting belt. Just 90$ of the young urban professional set; the ones that really have no right cooping up an Irish Wolfhound in a studio apartment most of the day.
Two: Women as well as men can be guilty of using animals to attract mates. See: small Chihuahua in handbag gal, humungous black lab-lady, wild ferret chick.
I think you meant 90% not, 90$... but hey. Anyway, I think it's a bit far fetched that a guy would get a dog just so that he can pick up chicks. However, that's not to say that it doesn't work. I was hanging out with one of my friends a few years ago who has two Doberman's... one older, curmudgeony blue Dobie and a young, gorgeous red Dobie. Anyway, to make a long story endless - We took them to veterenarian open house type thing where they only did vaccinations and so there were tons of people just standing in line. I can honestly say that I've never been approached as often by young ladies as I have standing in line there holding the leash of that red Dobie. I heard "beautiful dog... what's her name? What's your name? I'm ..." at least 3-4 times in about 45 minutes and that was without me approaching anybody.
Corey... Breathe. Mice are nice too.
Should work even better with a cat.
I went on a 3-hour walk with my unleashed Siamese cat. It was very funny to see people with their eyes wide at my cat. Most people see their owners walking a dog, almost never a cat. I honestly never thought of picking up girls with him. :(
Very very good convo starter, even with no cute women, other folks too. Overall good for the social.
