You know, for a bunch of people who are all searching for lasting relationships, you are sure ginning up a lot of excuses to keep from actually having one.
So what if the guy isn't enamored with dogs? What if this is an incredibly attractive, attentive, considerate, successful guy who just has a virulent allergy to dogs? Would you really give him the boot just for that?
No kidding. Wouldn't matter a hoot to me. Heck I plan to travel as much as possible once I retire (if that day EVER gets here!) and hopefully a pet will be the last thing on my mind.
My deal breaker has been CATS... I can't stand any animal who will wake you early in the morning... scratches on closed doors for attention... goes to the bathroom in the house ( litter boxes are GROSS !! ) and after they go to the litter box, they jump up on your counters, tables, couch... ICK ..... FREAKING GROSS !
Cats can be trained not to jump up on counters and tables (mine are)...you just give them a little spritz of water from a spray bottle.
I love my cats dearly, and I think they know it. I probably lavish more time and affection on the chocolate lab next door (who's constantly tied up out in the yard...arrrggghhh) than his owner does. It would be very hard for me to be involved with someone who didn't like animals. Fortunately for me, it's never been an issue...yet.

I understand allergies. In that case, what would one do if they already have a pet and met someone who is allergic?
There are plenty of people out there who love animals. I don't think making that a requirement would lessen one's chances of finding love to that great a degree.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't like animals. I'm not saying he has to have a pet, but he must like animals. I plan on having a dog until the day I die.
After the escape from my previous life I wouldn't be here without my dogs-would I give them up for a man NOT HAPPENING. I also believe it is my responsibility to have my animals under control and well behaved.
My dogs are much better at reading the human creature than I am-if my dogs don't warm up to someone there is a major reason. I trust their instincts
Hahahaha. Let's assume side effects, just like every medication.
I'm not a dog person. My wife had a dog when we got married, so I pretty much married the dog, too. The dog lived a long, fully life. But when it went to the Great Kennel In The Sky, I simply said, "You know, honey, I just don't need another dog." Given that we had three kids by then, it just wasn't a big deal.
We're down to a cat. After she goes to the Great Litter Box In The Sky, we're done with pets. It's not that we don't like animals. We just have all the responsibilities we can handle as it is.

As an allergy sufferer, I'm nodding in agreement. I take allergy medicine when I visit with folks with pets, and for me, while I'm not itchy, it's like experiencing the world like you're looking through the wrong end of binoculars. It'll do in a pinch, but I couldn't live like that.

I am allergic to dogs and cats. Just turned at the age 30. My body changed. However lived with pets all my life. Luckly all I have to do is take zurtek everyday and I'm fine.
