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.
Have an opinion?
Vegetarian, yes. Vegan, no way.
I've learned that some for medical conditions (like celiac disease), being a vegetarian is very beneficial. π€π Veganism, there's just too many nutrients being left out for it to be anything other than a lifestyle. ππ
@Chaz269, I honestly don't know, but I'd be surprised if there was! π
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. ππ
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. π€
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'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.
I would prefer to date a vegetarian, actually. I'm trying to make the switch, and having a partner who was already there would definitely help.
A vegetarian is a woman too she has a fuckable vagina. She can love she has feelings. Sure I date
I don't mind being with a vegetarian. But to be honest, I love a mix of meat and vegetables. My ideal one would be "sometimes vegetarian, sometimes not."
I mean... does it really matter? As long as they aren't trying to force me to be a vegetarian then I don't really care about stuff like that..
A vegetarian, yes, but never a vegan because vegans can't swallow πππ
It is difficult and you just don't get enough to eat. I will turn into malnutrition case.
Da meats is good for me. And I want to enjoy such, and kinds of fare with meat in it, with the person I go out to eat with.
Never trust someone who turns down a good steak. I hate that self righteousness.
@markscott The optimal diet involves *some* lean meat. We're onmivores for a reason.
@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.
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.
As long as she doesn't try to make me a vegetarian and doesn't mind I'm nit gonna be one, than yes.
As long as they don't try to change my diet or guilt trip me I'll happily go out with them
Yeah I have and I can't say it wasn't annoying sometimes, but after a while you get used to it.
As long as they don't bully me for what I eat we should be fine.
If she respects my eating choices then yes I would date her.
As long as they didn't push their beliefs onto me, then yeah.
Yes but i don't want to be bothered and pushed around to become one too
If they donβt push it on me than sure. I wonβt push my diet on them either. Mutual respect is key.
Depends on if they were obnoxious and super preachy about it
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.
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 π
I don't understand why someone's food preferences should be a factor for not being dated...
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
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...
Itβs not like I would say anything to them about it. I donβt even like to tell people Iβm a vegetarian because then they seem to think theyβre experts in nutrition and health and ask me a bunch of ridiculous questions, but I do find it hard to be around meat. Itβs not like this for every vegetarian, a lot are fine with being around meat.
No I love meat and if it worked out Iβd have to cook 2 dinners for the rest of my life
Iβd be a bit more empathetic if they HAD to be a vegetarian for a reason but they will kill the same amount of cows whether 1 person is a veggie or not
I am basically dating a vegetarian. Haha - I mean she is one of my best friends and we live together so.. Sheβs a great cook and I eat her food as well at least 3-5 times a week
As long as they donβt expect me to become vegetarian or brag about it every second of the day, I would date them
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.
"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.
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.
My boyfriend is one! Not me π i make him cook cause i wouldn't know what to cook for both of us
Eh, I would but I donβt think Iβd be able to cook for them. So I donβt think weβd work out.
Sure, why not? As long as they didn't judge me for not being one.
Never
They are crazy
Yes of course!
absolutely, id really happy to try making new foods, trying new foods and adapting to that sort of diet (in the kitchen). i find it interesting
I feel like they would have a positive impact on my health so why not I need to eat more veggies anyways
Have before. Makes no difference to m
No, I love meat too much and need someone who loves steak as much as me.
Thanks for MHO
