Girls is a vegetarian a deal breaker for you?

[Anonymous]

I recently met with a girl I like. At some point she suggested to go to McDonalds (other restaurants and shops had closed already). So we went there. I ordered one of the few vegetarian things they have and she orderd "normal" stuff. When we were eating, she asked me why I orderd what I ordered, and I mentioned that I'm vegitarian. Until I said it we were both in a good mood. But then she freaked out a little bit. How can I not eat meat, humans are made for eating meat and so on, she didn't let me respond for a while. I told her that I don't eat meat since I know where it comes from (dead animal) and that I don't like this fact, but I don't want to convince anyone getting vegetarian. When we were done with eating, we left, said goodbye and she never responded again.

So girls is a vegetarian (who don't wanna change your way eating) a deal breaker for you?

[SensualScribe]

The way she reacted was ridiculous. Honestly, though it would be a deal breaker for me. One of my best friends is vegetarian and every time we go out or have her over for dinner it is just too complicated. I don't casually date. If I am dating someone it is to be in a long-term relationship with them and that would be too much of a hassle all the time, especially if we lived together. However, if I was already dating someone and in love with them and they made the decision to go vegetarian I would deal with it. It is just something I would rather avoid if possible.

Maybe she felt bad because she wanted to impress you? :( it definitely is a shame that that happened, she probably felt bad that you were a vegetarian and she wasn't. Sometimes vegetarians can try to convince others to be as well, obviously this isn't you but it could be a factor into what happened

[Yan-Chan]

I Have a question for you though?

If I were to say... That I really find it horrible how the animals are being slaughtered, that it's really cruel... and YET I keep eating meat, because I just love meat... Would YOU still date me?

Would you try to change my diet?

[Asker]

I don't want to change anyone. I'm not constantly mentioning being a veggie and have no problems dating a "meateater". I was only a bit shocked by her reaction.

I wouldn't change your diet, but I think I couldn't cook meat for you.

[Yan-Chan]

Alright then I don't think that you being a veggi won't be a problem at all :)
You have your lifestyle and I have mine, perhaps you could show me new awesome ways of eatings veggies or salads
It's just that I dislike dating someone who forces his beliefs on the other, trying to change you, BUUUUUT that doesn't seem to be the case here so you're in the clear :)

[Asker]

Good to hear :-)

[Yan-Chan]

Not gonna lie... I'm hungry now

[Asker]

So how we'r doin :-)

[Asker]

just joking ;-)

[Yan-Chan]

Still hungry. Am not going to eat anything, I'm probably just going to bed

[Asker]

hungry for food? ;-)

[Yan-Chan]

Yes, I'm going for yoghurt

[Asker]

funny I ate one a few minutes ago. :-) Good n8

[Yan-Chan]

Yay first place :)

[MrMaskyMoon]

i'm not a girl but i'm really sorry Sir.. Your question makes me sad.. please accept this virtual hug *Hugs you*.. that's really bad of her though, i'm sure not all women are like that but unfortunately due to the standards set by the media, people tend to be less accepting of values like this... I'm really sorry i've lost my trail of though :/ but i will definitely come back to edit this once i remember.. One love Sir ☮ ✌

[Asker]

You don't need to call me Sir :-P

*Feeling old now* xD

[MrMaskyMoon]

haha sorry bro xP

[MrMaskyMoon]

Are you alright though?

[Asker]

yeah its ok ;-)

[MrMaskyMoon]

Alrighty bro, but if you're ever in need of a bro to share with hit me up :)

[Blueeyes81]

It would be a challenge. You or she would have to cook two meals if you cook for each other. Would you be ok cooking meat for her if you had her over for dinner?

[Asker]

I would make her a delicious veggi dish ;-) (Without this fake meat)
First I think I couldn't cook meat, and second since I've never done it, I think it would not taste very well

[Blueeyes81]

That's why it would be a challenge. She would have to change her eating habits to accommodate you. You cook she gets veggie. She'd either have to cook two meals (a pain in the ass) or just a veggie meal for the two of you. Indirectly turning her into a vegetarian. You may not be pushing it on her but it will effect her.

[Asker]

I can totaly understand your point that it makes things complicated. But i found her reaction frightening and it made me thinking.
I mean I would change things for a woman, but not so essential things.

Maybe cooking togehter could be a solution.
Or finding a veggie girl ;-)

[Southern_Shorty]

No, it's not a deal breaker, but I hope he realizes that I am not a vegetarian. I will continue to cook and eat meat. I don't expect him to eat meat for me, so I won't give it up for him. Simple as that.

I will say she may have not met a vegetarian before, so she could be in shock. Just talk about it with her again if you can. :]

[Cmasterson]

No, I was raised one so I don't see it as a deal breaker, I'm not going to push my choice of food on you and I expect you to be the same. I don't appreciate anyone shoving their beliefs down my throat period.

[Anonymous]

No. I'm vegetarian too, so obviously it's not gonna be a big deal. But even if I wasn't, I wouldn't freak out and act like a moron like she did, trying to make you feel bad about it when it's completely your decision. I hate it when people get almost angry at vegetarians. I wouldn't force my beliefs on them, so I don't know why some people do it to veggies.

[Anonymous]

No. I have to eat a specific diet, but I would never push that on to anyone else. As long as they don't push me (although I eat vegetarian/vegan anyways), then it's all good. Since you said in your last sentence he doesn't want to change my way of eating, I would date him.

[Blonde401]

Not a deal breaker for me. As long as we can both agree that we eat what we wanna eat, I really don't see a problem with it. It's your mouth, your body, your choice. Respect everyone's choice really. It wouldn't stop me from dating someone.

[Daniel961]

Too bad no one gave a 'choice' to those animals...

[Asker]

^
I
I
Thats exactly what I'm not doing

[Daniel961]

What, stating an obvious? Why turn your gaze away from truth? It's not like I'm forcing a carrot down people's throats...

[Blonde401]

@Daniel961 I understand how vegetarianism works. I respect another persons choice, like OP, can't you just respect that not everyone is going to agree with you? We live in a democracy, not a dictatorship. I don't have to explain my food choices to you, nor do you have to explain yours to me. Each to their own.

@asker I know you aren't and it's a great way to be.

[Daniel961]

Paraphrasing: Your freedom ends when the freedom of others begin.

[Blonde401]

@Daniel961 agree to disagree. End of.

[fauchelevent]

It wouldn't be a problem at all. I'm probably not going to turn vegetarian because my partner is, but maybe I'd try and it'd be cool. As long as everyone respects each other's lifestyle choices, it's all good :)

[musicbrain5]

Not a deal breaker for me. I think you dodged a bullet with that woman.

It would only become a problem for me if he wanted me to be a vegetarian too.

[laurapalmer]

Absolutely not a deal breaker. She kinda sounds like a bitch

[Mesonfielde]

It can be a dealbreaker because it's really difficult to prepare meals for a vegetarian. Pretty much most common foods just aren't good for them.

[Glue-Sniffer]

It's not a problem but I'm an absolute foodie so I'd think that I'd have to plan every meeting with them so they also get something to eat.

[GingerGuy]

Nope, as long as their not trying to make me one it's all good. I respect her choice as she should mine.

[AzureGirl]

Not at all, as long as he didn't mind if I still ate meat.

[Anonymous]

Vegetarian : no
Vegan : yes. I'm not living with a guy who can't eat anything. (I'm not hating against vegans at all, just saying it would annoy me to not be able to cook what I want for him.)

[Orchidfur]

... its not a problem at all unless you try to push your thoughts onto myself.

[Yumix]

I friend of me is vegan and her boyfriend eats meat and it works fine. for me it wouldn't be a problem either as long as she respects my decision and doesn't try to convert me to a vegetarian

[CHARismatic110]

Not at all. As long as he isn't constantly judging me for what I eat, we're good.

[aliceinwonderland69]

I like to feed men I am attracted to bloody steaks.

[MrMaskyMoon]

Sorry Ma'am but you scare me... :(

[Loveherbut]

Loooooooool

[Anonymous]

not all all! I wish I was a vegetarian, but meat tastes so good :(. As long as you don't insult me for eating meat, I don't care what you eat.

[Daniel961]

U can replace meat with tempeh, seitan or soy chops. They taste similar.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah but it's not the same @Daniel961

[GuessAgain]

Dude, if i were in your situation i would think someone so close minded she can't accept your choice to be a vegetarian would be a dealbreaker. Definitely.

[ShayanMortazavi1]

Wow, she sounds like a total bitch, she can't even respect your diet. Find someone who else.
