According to a recent Plenty of Fish survey, 97% of single pet owners in the U.S. believe that pets are a part of their family. Nearly half (49%) of singles see owning a pet as a turn-on, and most singles (52%) say it’s sexiest when someone has adopted their pet vs. purchased from a breeder. Knowing how much singles adore their pets and the role they play in relationships and dating, the “Plenty of Pets” campaign creates fun and Covid-friendly opportunities for singles to connect virtually.
“A great way to reduce the pressure that comes with connecting with someone for the first time is to identify those common interests that both people are most passionate about – and we know nothing sparks more passion and excitement than pets,” said Kate MacLean , resident dating expert at Plenty of Fish.
A whopping 61% of singles believe pets are the best icebreaker when it comes to meeting someone and one-in-five single pet owners https://hookupdate.net/es/onlylads-review/ say they have used a pet as a flirting tactic. Nearly half (46%) of Gen Z singles have posted photos of their pet on their dating profile to improve their chances of meeting someone and 48% of them say they’re more likely to reach out to someone on a dating app if a pet is in their profile picture.
