Study: New Yorkers Are Not Warm Towards Each Other, But They Love Their Pets?
Have you ever said "I love you" but didn't really mean it?
Preply asked 2,335 people across the country about how they show and receive affection to determine the most affectionate state.
From what the people who were surveyed are saying, some in New York may really love their pets more than their very own partners. According to the survey, New Yorkers are more affectionate towards their pets than their own partners with 69% feeling more comfortable with animals than other people.
But while New Yorkers may shy from saying I love you to their partners, they certainly don't back away from their cats, dogs, or other pets. Preply says that New York ranked 8th overall as most affectionate towards their pets, only behind Michigan, Arizona, Utah, New Hampshire, Kansas, Texas, and Colorado.
