People here say it's fine as long as they're not forced to take the same lifestyle, but you need to realise that if you live together with a vegetarian it will be VERY difficult to each live your own lifestyle. It's a difficult thing to do that costs a lot of planning, work, and even money because of the different diets. Let alone the different ideologies

  I've done it. It's not as difficult as you make it seem. A little creativity and some compromise goes a long way, really.

I'm a vegetarian so I surely won't have any problem dating one. I don't mind dating a non vegetarian either, I won't stop them from eating whatever they like 😊

Vegetarian, yes. Vegan, no way.

I've learned that some for medical conditions (like celiac disease), being a vegetarian is very beneficial. 🤔🙂 Veganism, there's just too many nutrients being left out for it to be anything other than a lifestyle. 😛🙄

Chaz269

Do you believe there are essential nutrients in meat that can't be found in fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts?

Veganism is actually even healthier than vegetarianism.

BoMwarrior

@Chaz269, I honestly don't know, but I'd be surprised if there was! 😏

The thing with meat is I know it can provide some nutrients faster than other sources. But like all things the key is moderation. I personally don't follow a scripture like I should, where it says meat should be eaten SPARINGLY. 🙄😉

Though one thing many (including myself at times) forget, is we all have different bodies so like how Vegetarianism worked well for that girl I knew with celiac disease, it won't work the same way for me. 🤔

I was going to suggest this is an odd question, but considering 48 people voted "no," the world is upside down to me. I can't fathom a good reason for not dating a vegetarian.

I'm basically a vegetarian already and will probably become vegan at some point, so of course. Dietary preferences/requirements shouldn't really affect getting a relationship

If she is fine with me eating meat too, then I am fine with her eating only veggies.

I dont eat that much meat anyway, maybe twice a week, but I wouldn't want to miss it.

Never trust someone who turns down a good steak. I hate that self righteousness.

markscott

Why do you equate self righteousness, with wanting to have a good diet and good health, and a longer and happier life?

@markscott The optimal diet involves *some* lean meat. We're onmivores for a reason.

juztapose: The optimal diet does not include lean meat. Among the longest living, and healthiest living people, in the world, are a group of people, who the majority are vegetarians. This group is located around Loma Linda California.

@markscott Correlation does not equal causation. Show me a peer-reviewed, scientific article stating that your diet is the best in the world or get the fuck out with that shit.

Reply
markscott

juxtapose: The study is going on right now. The preliminary study showed such promise, that the government gave them a grant to study it further, longitudinally. Now, can you show me where a study shows that a diet with some lean meat is superior to a vegetarian diet, and that the people actually live longer than vegetarians. Peer reviewed, of course.

@markscott I ran into the same issue as you, the data is inconclusive. However, eating as nature intended requires far less planning then going on a vegetarian diet. Vegan diets even more so.

Side effects of veganism include narcissism.

Reply
markscott

And your study, backed up by peer review, that finds narcissism is a side effect of veganism? I have know a number of vegans, and not one of them was a narcissist.

I don't understand why someone's food preferences should be a factor for not being dated...

X1erra

I think it's more about the fear of being forced into being a vegetarian by the significant other, not the preference itself... that deters some from dating a vegetarian.

If the vegetarian really loves the other person, would never push his/her own preferences on him/her too... That's what I think... it's unreasonable fear

Reply
X1erra

Mm. Knowing that, I won't mind dating you at all. However, I also fear you might not want to eat on a restaurant with me because "There's meat! I won't eat it"

I'd say it's less that, and more that you may face hardship with simple things like storing meat, having to eat meat while they stick to their diet, etc, it may make them uncomfortable, it may make life hard for you. Sure, it's possible to overcome, though when you're given two bits of info about someone and that is:
1. They're a possible partner
2. They're vegetarian/have a specific diet.

You'd likely decide based on that, not of traits reflecting from your love for them, etc...

As a vegetarian I’d say it’s hard for me to even be around someone eating meat.

Reply

Then you just answered your own question. We're very aware of this. :(

Reply

It’s not like I would say anything to them about it. I don’t even like to tell people I’m a vegetarian because then they seem to think they’re experts in nutrition and health and ask me a bunch of ridiculous questions, but I do find it hard to be around meat. It’s not like this for every vegetarian, a lot are fine with being around meat.

As long as they don't try and stop me from eating meat. I'm down to trying new Vegetarian dishes and I'm certainly open to eating more vegitarian meals than meals with meat. I'm just not ready to let go of meat completely. As long as they can accept that, I'm cool with it.

No I love meat and if it worked out I’d have to cook 2 dinners for the rest of my life

No. I can't see any way in which that would work. Food is an important social thing; we celebrate with food, comfort each other with food, share our family traditions through food, etc.
I also have moral/social objections to vegetarianism so there's that as well.
There's no way I could feel fully comfortable around a vegetarian person so, I definitely couldn't date one.

Ahsthen

Well, I don't do any of those things regarding food. I eat and savor it. And would like to connisseur over it with another person. Though meat is in the fare I eat. So what are these moral and social objections to vegetarianism?

Reply
Kahli

"I don't do any of those things regarding food"
I call bullshit. You've never once attended a birthday party full of food? An anniversary/graduation dinner? A wedding reception? Haven't you ever had a birthday cake? Those are all celebrations that revolve around food. Like I said, it's a part of every culture on earth.

Reply
Ahsthen

In my early twenties, I began refusing Culture, particularly celebratory, observational things. I observe no Cultural occasions. Not my birthday, not those of my family, nor my parents' anniversary, not Christmas, not social holidays, nothing. I need none to have a good time in life. Some of those events my family gather over, simply due to time of year in some cases, and I attend because they're available to spend time with. I have little other in-person social interaction, partly because I have no sentiment for Cultural observance. Certainly I am single in part because of it. I also don't watch TV, especially not sports.
