pets make better partners than humans

maneka gandhi

(bihar times) in the study of 900 pet owners, by bizrate research for shopzilla, the leading shopping search site on the web, women said they had a deeper emotional connection with their pets than men did. nearly all women respondents (99%) reported that they frequently talked to their pets (vs. 95% of men) and 93% of women think that their pets communicate with them (vs. 87% of men).

more than half of women (56%) feel that their pets are more affectionate than their partners (vs. 41% of men), and 45% of women think their pets are cuter than their partners (vs. 24% of men). 73% of female pet owners report they are more inclined to date or marry someone who also has a pet (compared to 50% of men ). approximately 68% pet owners report their pets make them happier than their jobs. women outnumbered the men (72% vs. 60% of men).

more than half (61%) of pet owners feel that their pets reflect their personality "very much" or "moderately." more women felt this way (70%) compared to men.

in another study done by opinion matters in september 2008 , pet owners are more likely to display a photo of their pet than their partner on the mantelpiece at home.

so basically , surveys of both men and women show that a majority of them believe that pets make better partners than humans. here’s some of the reasons – i have taken a selection from the internet and views from the people in my office:

a dog is better than my girlfriend or wife because
