Blow to the owners of a small hairball. According to a study published on the MDPI, men who have a cat would meet with less success with women.
Many think that having a cat is an asset to seduce, in addition to astrology, which is a hit in love… Well obviously, this is not always the case. A published study on IPDD recently proved that men who have a chat, and who mention it on singles apps, are only not much sought after. Even less if they post photos where they pose with their little protege. Cats, as cute as they are, are they too much on the selfies of dating apps? Although some are not at all cuddly, others can still be very affectionate and therefore very endearing.
This information is therefore enough to make you fall from the clouds since it is well known that pets, especially cats, can be a real asset of seduction. Especially for men, who play cuteness card through their cat. This study therefore raises questions, but was not invented. How can these results be explained?

Persistent judgments about cat owners
Although one might think that women are attracted to men with cats, it is therefore probably the opposite. In question ? Clichés that persist about having a pet, especially a cat. Being the owner of one or more cats can indeed bring to mind the good old cliche of the eternal celibate, who will end his life surrounded by cats. So that’s a reason that would put women off seeing a man posing with a cat in one of his photos.
Next to that, a sexist judgment would also be in question. A man, associated with a cat, would sometimes be considered “less manly“ or “more neurotic“, than others, according to a 2020 study by the University of Colorado. Alongside these sexist stereotypes, these results can also be explained by fear of dirt and household constraints which are added to those of everyday life.
