According
to match.com, a survey showed that 80% of singles are pet lovers. And, 59% agree that finding out your date had
adopted rather than bought their pets would make them seem more attractive.
(Irwin, 2014)
Therefore
it makes sense that match.com would partner with PetSmart charities on pet-friendly
dating events. The members only events
include advice about when to introduce a pet to a potential date, and whether
or not cat people and dog people can truly get along. (Apparently the answer is yes, since 66% of
dog owners would date cat people.)
So
what do you think? Is this an good way
for match.com to increase membership?
