Excellent post, I enjoyed it quite a lot. I often tell people that if they want to meet new people, get a dog. If you want to meet girls, get a puppy. When I was in college I would see other guys my age (early 20s at the time) walking a new puppy around campus and they became magnets for girls.

Plus, humans were MEANT to have dogs, and dogs were meant to have humans. We grew up together; dogs are one of our first forays into genetic engineering. We created an animal which was perfectly acclimated to human companionship

I think this is bad advise.

I love dogs and cats but I am not someone who cares enough to properly take care of a dog or cat. So I do the responsible thing and don't have pets.

Getting a dog specifically to meet women seems insane to me. There are all kinds of conversation starters that don't involve getting a living animal.

Obviously you shouldn't get a pet if you can't take care of it. But getting a dog to meet people seems more fruitful than using dating apps, which seem almost completely pointless to me
