Nowadays, you don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day to fall in love, or even have a crush. As the singer John Paul Young said in his song ‘Love is in the air’, love does not understand dates and we can find it on any corner. You know, you never know when Cupid will pierce our hearts with the arrow of his love. Stay tuned!
So, while that doesn’t happen, dating apps like Tinder make it easier for us to meet people with whom we have “something”, and then each one puts the label they prefer…
Well today, fellow animal lovers, I come to give you a little trick to flirt more. If you have a dog, you’re in luck! As Vicente Balbastre, Senior Communications Manager of Tinder in Spain, tells us, according to the ‘Year in Swipe 2023’ report, “60% of users feel more tempted to ‘match’ with someone who has a dog in their photo. profile”. Come on, you’re already taking a while to take out your cell phone and take a photo with your furry friends.
What’s more, as Balbastre tells us, “one of the trends of 2023 shows that young singles between 18 and 25 years old are not only open to romantic relationships, but are mainly looking for company, friendships or a ‘situationship'”, very modern They with Anglicisms, hey.
And I’ll tell you more, he also explains to us that “defining yourself as an ‘animal lover’ is becoming more and more common and, in fact, ‘Walking my dog’ is in the top 5 of the most recurring interests among the app’s users.” to date.” Yes, sharing life with furry ones is all benefits!
The Tinder dating application not only wants us to find love or ‘anything else’ (which means anything else, don’t let anyone get angry), I add to this Anglicisms that I liked. But he also wants to help the most disadvantaged animals. From there the alliance with Animal Rescue was born, a topic that we love at Peludos and that we wanted to share with you.
Balbastre tells us that “the alliance between Tinder and Animal Rescue has been natural because love, respect and the creation of safe spaces is something that extends to all the realities that surround us, including our animals.”
In addition to having a community that is increasingly concerned about animals, something that we love on this channel, Tinder is enthusiastic: “We are very happy to see that the new generation of users is more likely to mention in their Tinder bios the social causes that concern them to establish new connections, among which the love for animals stands out.
As it could not be otherwise, we also wanted to talk to the other party of the appointment, with Animal Rescue, so that they can tell us how the meeting with Tinder went. Francisco DÃaz, director of the Animal Rescue Foundation, confesses that “we wanted to meet to grow our mutual commitment to animals.”
Furthermore, DÃaz wanted to send you a message so that you can enjoy a solidarity event, something we love. “I would tell them that supporting a social cause is a good way to meet wonderful people. Anyone who wants to can help by adopting, donating their time as a volunteer, cleaning at the shelter or participating in our adoption campaigns. Together we make great things possible! !”
And this Foundation has had the pleasure of learning about many wonderful love stories, as DÃaz reveals: “Many of our volunteers, who are also Tinder users, told us personal stories about how important it is for them that the person with Those who can make a ‘match’ like animals because it means they have a good heart. Even couples who formed from a match because they were ‘animal lovers’, connected with conversations about this strong interest that unites them, and now “They are volunteers from the shelter.”
There is no better way to conclude this article than knowing that Tinder is open to continuing with campaigns of this type. What’s more, in other countries, the application has already teamed up with local shelters to find homes for abandoned animals. It’s great news!
You know, dear animal lovers, ‘love is in the air’ and always better with a furry friend.
