Ironically that's the type of man women usually want. No matter how much women want to deny it deep down most of them think the touch-y feel-y kind of men are pussies.
It's cold biology.

If a man is unable to dominate his woman, it suggest other men can dominate him. So why would she need him.

Men that do not understand this, are doomed. Society has programmed many men to go for the sensitive style, look how unhappy it has made men and women.

Isn't it more the case that a man who is sagging his head rather than sitting/standing up right just comes off as less masculine?

If they airbrushed out the cat completely and they were still sitting like that, the normal upright photos would still win.

The problem in those pictures are not the cats themselves, but the way the guys pose and the fact that they playfully photographed themselves with a small animal for a dating profile in the first place.
If they were holding a poodle, or any other small dog that way it would be the same problem.
Women are looking for masculinity. A photo in the park with a hunting dog would bring much different results.

It's also the type of guy most dudes tend to respect as well. Nobody admires a wuss.

I mean the pictures with the cats look very off putting and i love cats. Maybe don't look like you're taking a forced family photo with your pet.

What a bunch of fucking nonsense. Any woman (or man for that matter) who prefer dog owners have apparently never seen Meet the Parents. Robert De Niro knows the actual truth. Dogs are for those who want a yes man. Cats are for those who want to work to get respect that's earned.

Understandable, cats are useless and make you looks weak, same for dogs under 50 kg.

There's just something about fur babies. I'm not really keen to indoor pets, and people with pets are well interesting I guess. It never really influenced my dating decisions that I'm consciously aware of, but I'd say that a dude with a fur baby could be communicating something different than a dude with a hunting dog. There is a difference between a fur baby and something closer to a hunting partner.

But cats are badass. Whatever size they are. I'd rather avoid a hot woman with a dislike of cats to a woman that's less attractive that loves them.

I really love cats. I'm not Meowzers for a joke lol
 
People in general, but especially the young don't date anymore. These silly studies have nothing in common with real, worrying trends. We are literally a dying species.

I remember when a buddy of mine adopted a dog in hopes of picking up hot girls, boy was he disappointed that it doesn't work like they show it in the movies. At least he kept that shelter dog so that's a plus.

Conversely, I tend to swipe the other way on dog lovers.

Me and my old housemate used to joke about how boring it made women look. Not as bad as horses though.

Not sure if true but my love life is certainly in the ICU since lockdown.

It was the case even before people's house arrest. Pornography, internet dating, decline of social skills and interaction, and most importantly: the death of romance...these are all part of the cocktail.
