Fed up with apps, small talk and ‘rules,’ meet the women who’d rather date dogs than men
NY Post
Like countless women in NYC before her, Lauren Wire has had it with low-effort men.
But she’s not giving up on dating — at least not entirely.
On a recent Saturday afternoon, Wire headed out to one of the hottest hookup spots in town — her local pet shelter, which loans out rescue dogs for those looking for companionship without the drama.
“Dating apps can start to feel like another item on a to-do list, whereas time with a dog feels uncomplicated, present and non-judgmental,” the singleton told The Post.
“Also, dogs talk less,” she joked.
Wire, who works in PR, is one of many single New Yorkers who are trading in flirting over drinks for an afternoon spent with a pup from a shelter like Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) or Best Friends Animal Society.
