10 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than Boyfriends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter.

Admit it. You want a boyfriend. No matter how many times you tell your friends “No, I love being single!” you low key, perhaps even high key, want a boyfriend. Someone who is your best friend, someone who will share lunch with you, watch your favorite TV shows, snuggle with you ‘just because,’ and give you lots and lots of kisses when you fall asleep. WELL, IT’S YOUR LUCKY DAY! Because I have a solution for you that is even better than a boyfriend! Dogs. Dogs can do all of this plus more!

 

1. Dogs are amazing listeners and never argue, maybe because they have no choice…

2. Dogs love you unconditionally even when it’s “that time of the month” and when you “just can’t even”.

3. Dogs always let you control the remote (probably because they don’t have thumbs, but it might be because they want to watch endless episodes of Grey’s).

4. Your dog won’t have a mid-life crisis and leave you for a younger owner.

5. Dogs are better than boyfriends, because they don’t tell your secrets just because you get in a fight because ‘Tess’ commented on 3 of his pictures from 47 weeks ago about how she wants to “lick his abs!! (insert heart eye emoji here)” and like why?! She must’ve had a reason for that!!!!!…Hypothetically speaking…ha…ha…ha…

6. Dogs are better than boyfriends because you can actually train a dog.

7. A dog won’t complain about your cooking skills, or lack thereof…

8. They are always excited to see you even when you’ve “seen each other like everydayyyy”. But literally every day.

9. Dogs will give and accept unlimited kisses even when you had an egg salad sandwich for lunch.

10. They don’t judge you when you gained the freshman fif(ty)teen.

11. Dogs will never ditch you to “hang with the boys” or to “get swoll at the gym”

Although the list could go on forever, here is the beginning 10… I mean 11 (I just couldn’t stop) reasons dogs are better than boyfriends. Unless you’re allergic to dogs…then try match.com.
