Hi Riley,
Yes, you shouldn’t swipe right on an animal person when you have such strong reservations about living with an animal.
When a person has pictures of their pet on their dating profile, they are indicating that their pet means a lot to them and in order to date them, you have to be accepting of their pet.
You would only be wasting each other’s time if you were to swipe right on an animal person’s dating profile.
Even if the both of you get along and meet up, it will only be a matter of time before they figure out that you aren’t an animal person, no matter how hard you try to hide it.
Save both of you the trouble.
Focus on swiping right on people who would be a better fit for your personality and lifestyle.
