"A while back, a good friend of mine who had recently divorced was thinking of getting a pet," Michael Zadoorian writes in Modern Love. A co-worker warned him that he should not, under any circumstances, get a cat. "She said that women didn’t want a man with a cat. He would never get a date, and even if he did, once that date came to his house and saw the cat, that would be it for him. Game over. She further stated that men with cats are looked upon by women as weak, feminine and submissive. Subtext: He would never have sex again if he got a cat."
