Dog = Babe Magnet?

My dog died the October before last. Now, we have a puppy. He's a Great Pyrenees, 5 months old, almost seventy pounds, show quality. He's absolutely the smartest, cutest, most friendly dog in town. And I have it on good authority from people I know and trust that dogs are babe magnets. Of course, that's not why I walk my dog. I love walking; I always walk a lot, always have. But it is an added incentive. Honestly, I don't have any friends my age in my state, and if having a dog along will help me to meet people, especially people who live in my neighborhood, I'm willing to go for it.

But anyway . . . no luck. I've been home three days, so have taken my dog on at least eight or nine lengthy walks. For all but one of them, I've seen nary a person other than elderly folks gardening and so forth.

Tonight, though, I was out walking him . . . a car pulls over . . . and I don't want to sound like I objectify women here, but let's face it, I'm a man, and to some extent we all do, so whatever . . . out gets this hot girl (affiliated with Target, perhaps?), probably within a year of my age one way or the other, with a beautiful smile, beautiful eyes and about seven miles of legs. She comes over, asks if she can pet him, and while she does so, we chat for a moment. It was nice. Of course, this whole moment is kind of ruined by the fact that what I can only assume was her boyfriend was waiting for her in the car, scowling.

So . . . what am I doing wrong? I'm out walking him, so why isn't the whole magnetism thing happening? Am I walking him at the wrong times, that there's literally no one out? Also, if he does manage to pull over a girl, one who doesn't have a boyfriend waiting for her in the car, how best do I capitalize on that without sounding like an ass?

And finally, any Babe Magnet Dog success stories out there, or is that whole thing just a myth?

 

Only cute dogs attract the babes.


Ugly dogs will get you ugly chicks.

 

It's no myth. I bought a dog, a German Shepherd puppy right after my wife (then girlfriend) found out she was pregnant. We were not yet living together, and the dog stayed with me. Anyway, I lived within a mile or two of a dog park where everybody came to walk their dogs, and I met more chicks that summer (last summer as a matter of fact) than I'd care to think about. Of course being engaged and a father-to-be I did the right thing and never pursued even the most obvious advances. Yes, there were a few. I guess two things factored into this:
1. I was taken, and still am. Women will never talk to you if you're single, but once they sense that you're confident in your life and relationship, they see your strengths and qualities as a person and will not shun you.
2. The other is that the dog park was located in a college neighborhood, populated by nubile single women with dogs to walk. I miss that neighborhood sometimes.

Anyway, keep walking your dog. It's good for the dog, for you, and for the possibilities.


Edit: Wow, the Snerds have spoken!

 

cute dogs definitely work. Try going to a pet store in a mall picking up a cute dog and taking outside in the mall and just stand there outside the store. The girls will come a running.


And cute babies work way better than dogs. way better. They work everywhere. And my brother who is married with a fourteen month old gets hit on all the time. Even with the ring on. Women come up to him and his son and they love him. I think the ring and the kid just encourage them. But he doesnt mind it.

 

I knew dachsunds had a purpose! If only I weren't so lazy I'd walk our dog more (but the few times I do, I get comments from old people or little kids).

 

cute dogs require you to be in the right spot.

I have the cute dog, you see. What's alack is the girls. Is my cute dog defective?

Uh-oh.

 

whoa! crazy that you posted that tonight. i was out walking my dog tonight and a cute guy in a truck waved at me and smiled Dogs are definitely awesome

I shall be exploiting that.

The dog had nothing to do with that.

 

My friend actually uses dogs as a tool for picking up women, but he doesn't own a dog. He's allergic.

So what he does is he goes to the city's animal shelter and volunteers to walk their dogs! It's perfect! He takes a cute homeless puppy out for a walk, and when a good-looking female stops him to pet the dog, he tells them about how he volunteers to walk dogs for the animal shelter!

He wins points with the ladies for a) walking a dog, and b) volunteering to help homeless animals!

He is an evil genius!

 

Dude you want even have to exploit that. If you got a single friend just let him borrow your son for a bit. He will come back with alot of numbers.



Makes you wonder what goes the sons mind when a good looking woman walks up to his father. Especially a girl thats a little perky.

You know what would've been *really* great, is if you'd seen a guy walking a dog and gotten out of your truck to pet the dog. Because then it'd been probable we'd met tonight, and I'd have unknowingly complimented you.

 

What if your hypothesis is backwards? Maybe dogs are attracted to cute babes?

 

'Tis true. Dog = Babe magnet.

Well, cute dog = babe magnet.

Fortunately mine are cute.

Having seen your pic, I dont think it was the dog

 

Let's test the theory. I'll post a picture of my dog Buddy and we'll see what happens.

Hmmm...After waiting one hour absolutely nothing has happend.

That could be the case. Even so, however, mine would seem to be defective. He's cute, but the babes . . . I don't know. Maybe his polarization is backwards, somehow, so he repels them rather than being pulled toward them?

 

I'd say its location. Hanging around random neighbourhood streets will get you nowhere.

You need to be somewhere where the women are. Only then can the dog do its thing.

 

Which begs the question: where are the women?

 

Which begs the counter-question: Why are you asking people that post at a Star Wars messageboard all day long?

 

college neighborhoods and dog parks are good. Very good. its location, location, location.

 

Cute little chubby Sct. Bernard puppy = Major babe magnet.

I found that the bst place is the beach in the summertime. Babes get to look at and pet you dog you get to...

Where else would I ask it? And it's hardly all day. In fact, it's only really late at night, and relatively early in the morning that I've asked it.

BTW, my dog is like a St. Bernard, only cuter.

EDIT: I hate th new face_silly

Kids are great too. They bend down to the kids level and right in front of you. You get to see everything, south of border.

Wonderful. Simply wonderful.
