There is a rumor that dogs are a great way for
people to meet, but I find this isn’t necessarily true. I mean, I can see in some cases where
this could work; for example, if I see a guy sitting outside of a café with his
pit bull, I would totally stop to pet the dog and chat up the guy. However, my real-life situation is that
I occasionally dog-sit a white, fluffy bichon. In my experience, while this dog is a complete sweetie, she
isn’t the greatest wingman.
1. The average guy doesn’t stop to ooh and aah over small, fluffy dogs.
2. The dog stops to do her business right when an
eligible bachelor is walking by, and I just can’t bring myself to strike up a
conversation with a guy in that situation.
3. Then I’m walking around carrying a plastic bag,
and no matter how colorful that bag is, everyone knows what it contains. I’m not going to introduce myself to
someone while I’m holding said bag because then it gets awkward when I try to
shake his hand.
Dog may be man’s best friend, but this particular dog is kind of a cock block (pardon my French).
Hilarious. I bet you could pick up a few gay men .. but that would kind of defeat the purpose. If you need a more straight guy kind of dog, you can always borrow one from us .. or the SF shelter.
