Doggo loving date seeking women everywhere, you might just find yourself relating to OP's dating site debacle. OP is a young single woman, a doggo owner, and a dating site user. And she is sick and tired of men using pictures of pets (that are not theirs!) on their dating profiles. Did someone say false advertising?? Yes, we did. False. Advertising.

We feel for OP, obviously as a dog lover it's a major thumbs up moment when you see a guy featuring a doggo on his dating profile. One would assume that if a person chooses to prominently feature a pet in their dating profile, that the pet is probably theirs. Right? Apparently, wrong. In our opinion, lying on your dating profile is a definite red flag because that's what this is- a lie. They're pretending they have a dog when, in fact, they don't, and might not even like dogs or pets. Not cool, dudes.

    Font - r/TwoXChromosomes u/Thatepisodesucked · 18d + Join 2 I wish men would stop putting fake dog pictures in their dating profile I'm on Hinge, and I think this is my third in a row click on a guy who has multiple pictures of himself with a dog, who actually doesn't own that dog.

    OP wishes men would stop putting fake dog pictures in their dating profiles and we believe that she speaks not only for herself. Many dog loving single women are searching for a partner who loves dogs as much as they do, so it's just plain old misleading.

    Font - Okay, I'm a dog owner, it would be a major green flag when my prospective date also has a pet that he takes care of and loves. think a lot of women with pets would want to match with someone with the same pet (be it lizard, snake, fish, dog, cat, bunny etc) . I keep seeing profiles of guys in their late 20's/ early thirties saying "Don't date me unless you love dogs ;-)!" Even "This is my best friend in the whole world! "Or "I'll delete Hinge when my dog likes you" (real quotes l've seen

    It would be a major green flag! See, you heard it here first. Doggos are a major part of dating life for the doggo lovers amongst us. People really be doing the most just to get a few extra matches these days,

    Font - THEN, I get to talking, and say what's your dogs name? And they admit that they don't have a dog, ( that's their sister's dog , ex girlfriend's dog, friend's dog, etc excuse). They don't even know the animal's name, then they start listing all the reasons they don't have a pet - allergies, too much responsibility, don't like smells, don't actually like animals that much, etc.

    Font - Okay, am I too sensitive or do you think that's a bad sign ? I have a date this weekend with a guy who did this (2 pictures with a dog and something like "my best friend in the world" but didn't know the pet's name even though it was his "sister's" supposedly). He seems nice , so l'm still going for it, but just wanted to hear how you guys would react? Is it weird that I think it's wrong to do that? 7 2.2k 377 1, Share + Award

    Font - KirbyxArt · 18d #2Blessed2BStressed I think they see if as how people pose with baby pics. Look at me, i'm a good person who could probably take care of another living being, think about my potential. If they dont mention its not their dog somewhere, its bait. They just prove that they cant actually take care of a dog because of how much work it is but they want to reap the benefits of having a dog. Prob also translates to how they are irl. Just keep that in mind while you go on your date

    Font - Beautiful-Musk-Ox • 18d a picture of them with a friends dog is sort of meh to me, unless it's their front and center picture and they are like overplaying it somehow, but them saying "Don't date me unless you love dogs ;-)!", "This is my best friend in the whole world!", "I'll delete Hinge when my dog likes you" when they don't own a dog nor do they even want a dog is a big red flag to me, they are step one starting from being manipulative. definitely a bad sign IMO G Reply 414 ChardonNA

    Font - pastelkawaiibunny · 18d Yeah. Lying on your dating profile is a definite red flag (because that's what this is- a lie. They're pretending they have a dog when, in fact, they don't, and might not even like dogs or pets). I'm scared of big dogs, so I might choose not to date a guy with a big dog in his profile. Someone else might be allergic, or on the other hand LOVE guys with dogs. All of us would be misled by the lie. It's the same as lying about having kids, being into certain hobbies,

    Font - The_Wingless • 18d It may seem minor, but make it any other subject. Someone lying about their religion to get in with a particular person. Or lying about their political beliefs. It's an intentional deception with the goal of manipulating people's emotions. Big old red flag. 6 Reply 1 205 + potaito_potahto · 18d I had a couple of dates who lied on their profile about being non-smokers. Their reasoning? "I get less matches if I said I smoke." 4 57 3

    Font - BeautifulRivenDreams · 18d Am dude. What the heck, major red flag? Since when is casually lying about something ok? They are clearly misrepresenting themselves at best. What else are they misrepresenting/lying about? I'm honestly surprised they admitted to not having a dog, but it got them the initial successful swipe I guess. 6 Reply 1 46 3

    Font - DeathCap4Cutie · 18d It definitely shows they aren't trying to have a real connection since they're just lying to hook up. BUT the one big giant exception would be for family pets. I love my parents dog so much and probably have a million pictures with him that l'd show off any chance I get. Thing is I moved out and it's a family pet so it's not like I'm taking him with me. So he's not really mine anymore (or never was but I lived with him). Cases of family pets I think can be pretty unde

    Font - Leeono • 18d No that's a red flag. I'm a guy and remember reading somewhere that (like you say) women tend to click on pet owners for the reasons you mention. It's just to get dates not that they actually care about the animal. Especially if they can't remember their name. I remember everyone one of my pets as they were family! 5 Reply 1 549 ...
