Are you familiar with dogfishing? Here’s how it works...typically the guys will post pics of them with an adorable dog that’s not theirs. Yup – they’re just “posing” to get the ladies.
Gaby Wolffwas a victim of this strange behavior when she was looking for love on Hinge. She saw this attractive guy posing with this adorable black lab in his profile pic, soof coursethis dog lover was under the impression that was HIS dog. When he admitted it wasn’t, she describes the feeling as, “presenting yourself in this performative wayuntil that impression is ruined because you have to explain yourself.” SUCH a letdown!
So why do ladies go after the “doggie lovers” in the first place? Online dating coachErika Ettinsays, “Sometimes women subconsciously equate things like how a man treats his dog is how he would treat a partner.” That’s a totally fair assumption…which is why dogfishing is SO shady!
Bottom line? Get your own dog to pose with.
