Just the same, there are more women in this world that like cats more than dogs, compared with men (and no, I cannot tell you if they do like men the same way, that&#8217;s been a mystery for ages someone tells me). Let&#8217;s try and probe this a wee bit, and to make things interesting lets map cats and dogs to their likes and dislikes, and around that, understand key areas which define their appeal. The Truth (in bits): Dogs come when they&#8217;re called; cats take a message and get back to you later You&#8217;re not a real person until a cat ignores you; you are not Apoorva Joshi if a dog ignores you. Cats must attack their master&#8217;s shoelaces when they are tying them; Dogs do the same when no one&#8217;s looking. Cats are quite good at domesticating humans; dogs are quite good at domesticating themselves. So why is it that more women in this world prefer cats when all the qualities they need in a partner is so easily satisfied by dogs. Things like: Dogs listen Dogs don&#8217;t want to have sex (with humans) Dogs obey Dogs never say no to shopping Dogs listenDogs don&#8217;t watch sports (unless explicitly asked) \u2026 And a ton of lopsided entries should ideally have put the doggie variety on their priority list. We men don&#8217;t do a fraction of what&#8217;s mentioned above, that apart, the discussion point here is that cats are a tad better in the ignorance department (At least we lie our balls off whilst trying to evade a funny situation. Cats just don&#8217;t bother).
