I would DATE someone who is either way (as in I would not shun them and would be friends with them, etc), but I would not get into a committed relationship with someone who intentionally lives an unhealthy lifestyle. My goal in a relationship is to be with someone for a long time, go out and see the world, etc, and we can't do that if one person is ill all the time. That's NOT to say that I wouldn't love someone who is ill, but there is a difference between self-inflicted illness and sickness that you can't help. My current SO suffers from a number of problems that are in no way his fault, and it's difficult to watch him struggle with that. I want to help but can't. So I can't imagine the added stress if those problems were inflicted by someone's choice in poor diet. That would just lead to resentment and bickering, I think.
So yeah, eating veggies is important to me.
I accidentally voted no. I wouldn't discriminate just becuase someone refuses to eat a certain type of food. I think that's a bit immature. What I wouldn't date is someone who won't take care of themselves, like smoking, drinking too much, drug abuse, etc, because I don't want to witness them being in pain, in and out of hospitals, etc. It's bad enough I live with the amount of anxiety I have already. Vegetables are good for you; that's true, but there are other ways of remaining healthy.
Also, I'm a bit thrown off by you linking beauty to Thinness, as if that's the only type of beauty in the world.
Extremist vegetarians...
Thinness isn't always about your diet. I know people that are basically human garbage disposals who still maintain thin figures thanks to a freakishly effective metabolism. In fact, I know some people who struggle to gain weight because they feel they are too thin. You can treat your body like crap and still look good. On the flip side, you can eat moderately healthy and still struggle to keep a nice body.
If eating vegetables were all it took... lmao
refusing to eat vegetables is just childish and stupid. i would wonder what other issues he has. a grown ass man not eating any veggies at all because it's yucky? am i dating an adult or a 9 year old? sorry but i can't have my husband and father of my children having health problems before his time because he can't get his diet together
I would want them to be healthy with whatever that entails. I don't particularly care if they are "meat-atarian" if they still are healthy while doing it... That, and as long as they don't try to force me to go and follow suit. I still like vegetables and don't plan on giving em up anytime soon haha.
So I would date someone if they don't eat veggies assuming they aren't sickly from doing so. A restrictive with an unbalanced diet makes it sound like it'd be horrible for the body, and I'd strongly not prefer that. A super unhealthy diet would be something I'd continually want them to change, but I can't expect them to change for me. It'd be just a turn off then.
Essentially, I value healthiness, which results often in relative thinness. As long as they are healthy, I do not think I'd harbor any issue with whatever their diet is.
You know they used to say that you needed some odd servings of fruits *and* veggies, but now it's just fruits *or* veggies. So, if they don't like veggies, they can just do fruits. I think it's like 3-5 servings or something. But I find it hard to believe that someone would just despise all veggies. There's bound to be something you like. If not, then you could try adding sauces or salt and pepper. I always hated veggies, too, until I worked at a pizza place and had nothing else to eat but the free pizzas which always had veggies on them, so I got used to them. Like alcohol or energy drinks or coffee. At first, they taste like shit, but over time you start loving them. But, speaking healthwise, as long as you're getting the nutrients in from fruits, it's not a negative to avoid veggies. 'Course, it would be a positive to not avoid veggies.
What if the person refuses to eat fruits and vegetables and still manages to thin due to a restrictive diet?
To me, humans are animals. The male goal is to spread the seed; the female goal is to obtain a quality mate and try to keep him around for protection and provision. So, generally, males focus more on short-term gains; females focus more on long-term gains, with reproduction.
Eating an unhealthy diet won't be good for someone in the long-term; but in the short-term, it really doesn't matter. So beauty is a much more important factor than long-term health.
Since males have significantly lower restrictions on how many offspring they can have, it doesn't matter if a female is unhealthy. Having an attractive offspring would be more important than a long-term healthy offspring. So long as the woman doesn't have any obvious signs of significant illness outside of simply a bad diet.
For me specifically, if I was looking, I wouldn't care about her diet unless it was obscene. I would namely care about how attractive she was.
I actually think a big part of this is the kind of childhood the person had, as well. Male or female, if they were raised in an environment that led them to believe that life is short, then they would place a larger emphasis on short-term gains rather than long-term gains; and, if they were raised in a stable, safe environment, they would focus more on long-term gains; with females being more geared towards the latter, and males leaning more towards the former. Incidentally.
except all males werent conditioned and wired like you are stating. you wish evolution were that simple but that isn't the case. There are a lot of men who took different routes instead of what you stated. there are many women who have done the same
@Bobbyhill1 Clearly, you missed the part where I stated, 'generally'. Many guys claim they are not like that, but all I have to do is show you a picture of a hot naked chick to show you you're wrong. Human behavior is not instinct, alone. There is belief, logic, and experience, as well. However, these characteristics simply mask the base instinct--they do not change it. It is not incorrect to state that humans have hands, even if there are thousands who do not have hands.
Delusion is also a common human trait.
so what you are saying is you can show a hot man a picture of a hot women, but if you showed a picture of a hot man to a hot women that hot women would not get the same response as the hot man?
also, why do you, talk like, this.
@Bobbyhill1 I type as I do, because I'm good at English.
That's a very basic interpretation; but, essentially, yes. Some women are more physical than others, but in general, women view sex mentally, while men view sex physically. Both enjoy the opposite aspect, but their emphasis rests on the opposite spectrum. Women are less stimulated by the physical: they need the mental to embrace the physical, most of them. This is why romance novels sell so well, and why we have "chick flicks".
It's also why women rarely orgasm with a man they hardly know, but still find attractive. Men aren't like that. We can have sex with a hot stranger and blissfully enjoy the purely physical sensation of sex. Likewise, we enjoy the female form simply for its physical beauty more so than women do. That's not to say women aren't attracted to the male form; just, as you said, we have different responses.
In short, sex is high risk to women, and low risk to men.
you do know, most people dont fit the model of 100% man, or 100% women right? if that is the case, then you everything you said is pure speculation. There are about 7. something billion people out in the world. Every bodies brain is unique. even if you share the same gender. ALso, there are many women that will atest to your women view sex mentally statements
and fun fact, about 40% of porn watchers are women. also how do you explain the women who always have fangirl over a hot guy?
@Bobbyhill1 To explain 7 billion variations would be a bit tedious. Yes, humans are diverse, and behavior is equally diverse. Continually, I say I'm speaking generally. Like I said. Just because I say, "humans have working eyes," doesn't mean I'm not factoring the blind into the equation.
There are a billion reasons for how people react to or attempt to cover up their instincts. Usually, it rests with gaining a better percieved benefit than the instinct. Social programming, experience, belief, illness. These explain the majority of variations.
Men and women are different, especially where sex is concerned. This should be obvious. Women don't flock to strip clubs, as men do. Men have a physical impulse that 90% of women do not have.
A popular hot guy? You might see his attractiveness, but how do you know that is what they are seeing? When a woman says a man is attractive, how do you know they mean the same thing as you?
And women namely watch lesbian porn. Straight women.
women dont flock to strip clubs because of social matters. everything you say can be explained on a social level. even men themselves dont fit the supposed ''male brain'' category as often as they are supposed to be nor do females. How will you sit here and say ''men and women are different'' no, PEOPLE are different, no matter the gender. A women will be different than a another women and the same goes for males. There was a study that took women and showed them erotic images. Their instinctive signs showed before they could respond and their brain lit up. Just as easy as it is to find women like that I can also find men who dont react the same way.
and once I do that I can say ''women are more horny than men!'' and a bunch of people will flock to this experiment and carry this ignorant notion for life. women being less visual is a myth, and a poor one at that.
@Bobbyhill1 If you believe that then. Good luck.

It would be a problem for me, because I'm pretty sure it's impossible to be truly healthy if you refuse to ever eat a single vegetable. Maybe they're still thin and fairly healthy while they're young, but down the line, it could become a serious issue. I like to think ahead. I won't say this is a 100% deal breaker, but I'd definitely be concerned about someone who refused to eat any vegetables at all. And partly because it shows immaturity and irresponsibility.
Refusing to eat one or a few particular vegetables is fine, but being against all vegetable in general is just plain weird and unhealthy. Vegetables can be freaking delicious when prepared right and there is a wild variety of tastes to be found. The excuse of "I don't like how they taste" about all vegetables in general is invalid in my opinion.
Ummm... if I find this out before hand then I'd be weirded out - what DO you eat if you don't eat vegetables - which are supposed to be the majority of anyone's diet.
If a person doesn't eat vegetables they must be riddled with all kinds of diseases - which may not manifest now, but when they hit late 30's... they'll definitely feel it.
It's easier to cater to someone who doesn't eat vegetables than someone who doesn't eat meat.
Also, one of my co-workers doesn't eat vegetables like ever. He's fine and not "very thin". It's typically vegetarians and vegans who claim they are "naturally not supposed to have fat" and look like someone out of a crypt.
if they find a way to substitute and still get all the vital vitamins and nutrients then i could consider dating them. like perhaps if they take supplements or mulitvitamins i could consider it.
but if a person is generally unhealthy in lifestyle it certainly doesn't make them a very attractive partner
their weight isn't so much a factor as their dietary lifestyle in this case
Being as Healthy as I have Been all of My Life, my own Mom started Me with A... Daily Vitamin every day.
I would, and have Done this with a Date and a Mate, Turn them on to a Daily Vitamin, in which I would Pick Out, no Doubt.
Good luck and Great question. xx
U think it weird. One of my grandmother's is like that. She hates vegetables and refuses to eat all of them with the exceptions of corn or peas... She's been like that her entire life and she's still active and relatively healthy at 89... I love veggies and someone that refuses to eat them would seam close-minded to me, but some people manage to live long lives with vary few of them...
My paternal grandmother has a more balanced diet. She eats her veggies, but only because she grew up in a poor environment where meat was sky-high expensive. It's either vegetables and grains or starvation. She still manages to be my longest living grandparent, somewhere in her eighties. She has a potbelly, so you'd think that's a bad thing. But nope, that's just her body shape, and she's actually not diabetic. But then, culturally, she eats a low-sugar diet.
Nope, and I also don't see beauty as thinness.
I wouldn't date someone who is strict with food but at the same time I would want to be with someone who prefers healthy food such as vegetables over junk foods. especially on a regular basis.
However, I do want them to enjoy some street foods as well once in a while. Otherwise it would get boring.
So no bread either right? that's made from wheat. Even rice, potatoes, etc are vegetables. No thanks I'm asian!
can't see how someone would be attractive without any vegetables in their system. I'm sure their complexion would be very unhealthy. But if they eat fruits all the time , I don't think there would be any change.
Like this guy?
My dad, is an extreme meat eater. It drives me crazy. It's like I don't get how you don't eat sides, and or veggies. Like it's odd. Without veggies how can you naturally use the restroom? I don't know for sure. I mean, Ig id have to say no. However, this is because I don't want a guy that reminds me of my daddy. My dad irkes me, and is over weight.
No, I wouldn't. I would have lots of fights over it, I can imagine. I am only living on fruits, vegetables and seeds, because of my food allergies. I can't cope with another person with food "issues".
@cavmanier I can only have nuts without any trace of peanut and they are very hard to find :/ and if I can find it, I can't have a lot of it as I will have a bit of trouble with breathing.
I like sunflower and pumpkin seeds the best. Although sesame is also okay.
Oh, come on, who doesn't eat at least two or three sorts of vegetables?
Even people who doesn't like vegetables eat potatoes, onions, or garlic.
The only people who don't eat vegetables are probably Eskimos...
Yes. They can eat whatever they please, it's their life after all but I would just hope that they're making up for not eating vegetables by eating other healthy and nutritional foods.
Lol why would I let that affect whether I would date her or not?
As long as she was still healthy I'd be fine with it. And if she wasn't healthy I'd help her find ways to balance her diet.
I only date people I can see future with. Future involves marriage and being together. I wanna marry someone that has lots in common with me and makes me a better person - including exercising and eating healthy together. So NO, I wouldn't.
I refuse to eat vegetables so ideally I would prefer a herbivore, so that there's more meat for me.
great way of thinking-that's how I feel about my boyfriend who doesn't like veggies, more for me

It wouldn't bother me I mean just because someone doesn't eat their veg doesn't mean their unhealthy or overweight.
Im not his mom. He can eat what he wants to eat. However, if he is unhealthy and fat, its very unlikely that I'd date him.
I don't care what they eat as long as it isn't human brains, they are not fat and are attractive. Luckily the taste of girl juice isn't affected by diet as much as baby batter.
Sure but eating with her BS food requirements would get old fucking fast.
It's a huge turn off and I'd be really worried about that persons health
To me, it's a sign of serious immaturity to refuse to eat food that is good for you.
What she eats is her business. As long as she is attractive to me...
No. It shows a degree of ignorance close mindedness.
I don't care about them being thin but being healthy is huge for me. And 90% of my cooking has veggies so I don't know what he's gonna eat if I cook
Yes, because it would mean they are closed to different things. Extremists are just too weird for me.
i used to. he was thin and health (22) at the time now he's overweight and unhealthy (31) just like a few other exes i've kept in touch with..
I don't think he was healthy at 22. He might be thin due to a fast metabolism, but because of an unbalanced diet, he was thin but unhealthy. As time passes by, his metabolism slows, and his health suffers due to the lack of nutrients exclusively found in vegetables. Therefore, it is WRONG to assume that he was healthy at 22. He might be thin and attractive, but very unhealthy. Just like someone who smokes at 18. They may seem very young and attractive, but the lifestyle habit is unhealthy.
I don't eat any, if theyre 'healthy' and will remain fit then idfc.
i'm a meat eater, i am fine with it. Honestly there is nothing wrong with it. Just like there is nothing wrong with eating only veggies.
As a vegetarian, we would certainly make a strange couple. I don't think that I WOULDN'T per-se' but it would be a struggle.
I guess but it'd annoy the hell out of me since my job revolves around people getting healthy and eating what they need lol.
Yeah as long as they try to be healthy in other ways.
Yes, but I would try to get him to change his ways, that's seriously unhealthy!
Not I, my woman needs to eat healthy and have some produce in her diet. :)
There is absolutely no reason why you should eat vegetables, so I don't see why that would concern me.
if she is not eating vegetables i can never fall in love with her, she will be ugly.
Yeah, why not? She can always take vitamin supplements if she hates veggies.
Let's say vitamin supplements are too expensive.
It wouldn't bother me. Just as long as they don't mind me eating my veggies. I love veggies! And, no... I'm not a liar.
There are lots of people that dont like veggies
For what ever reason *shrugs*
Id prob still date them
sure, as long as you are healthy and not overweight I don't care what you eat. I'm don't eat many myself
I wouldn't really care. As long as they were thin and healthy.
What if thin and undernourished?
I wouldn't let that get in the way of me liking the person but im not going to baby them,,,, my kinda girl is confident and stable... an undernourished girl is not stable mentally,
How could someone who doesn't eat any vegetable at all be healthy? There are nutrients that only exist in vegetables!
@es20490446e Lmao... bro... seriously? people have survived on only fruits and got along quite well. The body adapts to various intakes of nutritional value. Take for instance carbohydrate... you don't need it at all, in fact it actually hinders you in cognitive ability with the only upside of it allowing you to gain muscle. Nutrients do not only exist in vegitables. You can get by perfectly fine without veggies.
What if that person refuses to eat fruits and vegetables and whole grains?
Only meat in that case? I would think its strange but if she's healthy i wouldn't care. I doubt i could find someone like that.
No, only hamburgers and French fries and soda.
Again, if she can be healthy/happy not a problem. I tend to care more about personality than hobbies.
Hmm if she didn't take care of down stairs though then that'd be a problem.
Well, i would probably not like her personality anyway. The fact she would not try the effort to like it... meh. Dunno. Greens are awsome.
Hell yes. We'd get along so well we'd have a great life together!!!
No, as she would have a hard time been with someone who eats vegan 🍍
Yeah I woukd date someone. I don't eat fruit much and I only eat certain veggies anyways.
Why not , it is totally their business they can eat whatever they want including rocks if they want too
Depends, I just hope she doesn't eat pure junk food all the time😱ima be like nope you eating this broccoli😂😂
are we 5? I won't date you because you won't eat your vegetables...
Yes but I wouldn't date someone who refuses to eat meat. No vegetarians
Why?
@es20490446e
Because that person has issues.
Which issues?
@es20490446e
No very smart and rely on feelings to come to conclusions. Thinking there's something wrong with killing a animal to survive is delusional. Taking a life to live is the only way to survive. Vegetarians don't take animal life but plant life. Why's plant life less than animal life when the entire food change depends on plant life. People that place animal life above human life are crazy.
And if they did because (https://www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/pubmed/19562864)?
@es20490446e
I don't click on link's
Should.
Big turn off
It indicates poor self discipline. A lot of people DON'T like vegetables or whatever but you still do things that you don't like.
But, I will preaching about vegetables every opportunity that I can... Good health and diet is where it's at!!!
I don't mind. But if they refuse to eat pizza, then that's a deal breaker.
It is unhealthy but it's his life, I would date him and maybe help him to overcome his fear lol
lol are you serious? i dont think of such things when thinking about a life partner
i dont eat meat so we wouldn't have much in common
I don't too.
No, lmfao.
How old are they, 5? Haha
I literally said the exact same thing 😂 Lol I should read the comments before I comment
Yea, your bound to be unhealthy.
Yeah
No I need my man strong like Popeye
