I'll start: if they have hobbies it's a green flag for sure, doubly so if their hobbies are outlets for creativity.

It's a rule of thumb, not an absolute truth.

[-] FishFace@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I'm not interpreting you as believing it's an "absolute truth" I'm saying it doesn't seem like it would bear any relationship whatsoever. You are still saying that as a rule of thumb dog-lovers are less likely to respect people's (lack of) consent than cat-lovers. That's insane.

Let's be real about it: being a cat or dog person can tell you something about a person's personality and hence give you a hint about whether you'll get on with them. A green flag should first of all be universal, not dependent on the person considering it, and second it should actually be a reasonably accurate indicator.

actually they didn't say anything about dog owners. You're reaching for an argument where none exists.

hmph. must be a dog owner

Feel replace to replace "dog" with "non-cat" in my comment; it's just as valid.
