I would date a meat eater as long as they don't try to dictate me what to eat.
I have experienced people telling me what to eat instead of minding their own fucking business, even though I never criticized their choice of diet.
Sure but I won’t allow them to judge me for my food choices, I won’t follow their diet and if I make you food, you’ll eat it or you’ll go without.

I definitely eat meat. I have dated more than one vegetarian. I have no problem with vegetarians as long as I can tease them.
I would not condemn someone for their dietary choices, but I have experimented with vegetarian, vegan, carnivorous, and broad range omnivore (in advanced infantry training, we were taught what insects were fatal if swallowed, and let loose for a couple weeks with the clothes on our backs for survival endurance training, forbidden too hunt protected animals or anything larger than ourselves as cheeting.) in which I really did survive on things that would have made my grandparent's 16 year old billy goat, Ringo (named affectionately after Ringo Starr) puke. He ate and digested tin cans without incident. I ate poisonous, but not lethal, insects, and developed a tolerance too certain toxins that increased my metabolic capacity significantly, improving the nutritional utilization of the more "healthy foods" I consumed on a daily basis after that experience.
My point, humans are omnivores, for better or worse, and we are too far along in our evolution to revert back to being strictly carnivorous or herbivore.
Even herbivores eat meat once in awhile, and even carnivores eat plant matter once in awhile. I've witnessed my dog eating grass from time to time to help with his digestion, and hunt rabits in the back yard when the green cereal based dog food we fed him, that's a veterinarian claimed was all he needed, proved insufficient to give them certain Amino based proteins that I now understand his metabolism needed to be healthy. I even saw a friendly mountain lion, who used to hang out at my place when a nearby farmer got pissed off at him and he needed a place to hang low for a few days, who would be chewing on nearby weeds and grass for probably the same reason, to get nutrients and to help with digestion.
I respect someone's right to eat what they are comfortable eating, but if they ask me, I will say that eating a proportionately high amount of plant-based nutrients, like leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits, with moderate consumption of meats and fish-based proteins, sparing amounts of dairy, grains and processed sugars, is doing very well for me, with the occasional binge eating a junk food on special occasions to maintain good dietary health, and to remind my body that I am in fact, a modern-day omnivore, which is working out pretty good for me.
u Yes I would, one of my best friends she's been a vegetarian for life, from the womb.
And it is something I learned quite early, since we met. She had reasons, she had opinions and explanations for it. I got to know her and to know how this was just part of her actual life.
At first, it was my choice to eat meat when I was with her, but with time that changed because we both adjusted to it... she was not one to lecture and to try to impose her life style onto others, it was a gradual thing and eventually we were able to just live our lives the way we both do by our own choices, there could be just a couple of minor considerations I still have around her, not a big deal at all.
This is not the only "difference" we have, there are other things, but she's still a great friend of mine, and I could very well date someone like her.
But I also have to say... for the other kind of "vegans" that have been that for two weeks, six months or a year, and you feel the need to lecture me and judge over this kind of stuff, then no, I would not want to waste your time at all.
I never had an issue when I was dating veggies with their diet. I did find that getting to that point was unlikely though as many of them were making a choice for ideological rather than dietary reasons.
It's easy to date people who are different than you, but folly to date someone with different values. At least that's been my experience.
I’m borderline vegan - sometimes it’s very hard to avoid meat etc but i mostly have a vegan diet. I’d date a non-vegetarian just cause most guys love meat for some reason. Like I’d be seriously restricting my dating pool. However, I would much rather date a vegetarian because meat makes me feel sick. And uncooked meat? OMG don’t even get me started :(
As long as she doesn't inject herself with b12 vitamin shots IDC what she eats.
But if she uses them I am gonna explain a whole lot of shit and she better start eating Meat after that or I will dump her for using meds that are needed for People with a chronic shortage wich I am one of and my little brother almost died off because we didn't know but for most People it is Just preventable by eating Meat.
So yeah I don't care if she don't eat Meat but than she better not take the meds neither
I would Not date a Vegetarian. Being a Veg tells you a lot about them. They’re liberals, opinionated and will only accept their own views.
She will try to push her insanity on you.
Will never stop tryin to change you.
That’s my experience!
I almos tdated a vegan. Funny thing is, he always wanted to cook me meat. He constantly grilled for his fam because he loved to cook and didn't let his eating habits stop him from feeding others
Depends on why he is a vegan, if he is all about saving the world hipocresy ans saving animals and diet wise bla bla bla, I won't date him. If he's honest and says u know what I saw a documentary and saw how they chop animals and got traumatized so now I see that image in my head every time I try to eat meat, I will respect that and date him and not try to change his habits. Or just u know i don't love the taste of red meat ill respect that too.. i don't like chicken flavor so much i eat it but don't enjoy it also pork is not my favorite flavor but a cow omfg and the ironic thing is i love cow i think they are adorable. But also my stupid digestive system doesn't allow me too eat a lot of cow meat. Besides to much of something is bad and to less tooo. So always go with mother natures flow. Balance.
Conclusion depends on the ideals of that vegan person. But I could try.
Humans are naturally omnivores... When our behavior is off, it’s usually a sign of illness. Observing a vegetarian is like observing one of those sick antelopes at the edge of a heard that is about to get picked off by a pack of lions on National Geographic… Something is obviously wrong with them, but lets watch and see if they survive… I like fruits, vegetables, and grains, but I also understand that humans need to eat meat if we want a normal healthy diet. Without it we have to rely on chemistry to provide what is lacking. It’s better to date someone that is mentally all there and eats a normal diet.
I don’t think I could date a vegan. I could a vegetarian, as vegetables make up a large proportion of my diet. Vegans are quite passionate about their cause and really push their agenda on others. (Yes, I know there are exceptions! 🙄). And I couldn’t live without eggs or honey. My diet is already so restrictive with no dairy and no gluten (this includes wheat, rye, barley and oats).
yes i would, if they wouldn't try to force their convictions down my throat and accept that i'm probably not gonna be a vegetarian and definitely not a vegan. i am a carnivore but i will happily reduce my meat consumption by quite a bit. i've been wanting to do that but i just can't seem to find the right motivation.
yes and yes.
what i eat and don't eat has nothing to do with relationships...
i'm a vegetarian, boyfriend isn't. been together for 5 years so it's like any other normal relationship. i don't know why people put on such a big deal over it...
I tried it once and won't do it again. She tried convincing me that meat is unhealthy for you. She complained constantly how there's no vegetarian friendly restaraunts. And she kept trying to make me become one.
I'm like I understand that you don't eat meat for whatever reason. But I don't eat fake meat.
I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian never had any problems cooking meals & it never effected my relationships, other things yes but not that ✌️
Oh man, to be honest that's very hard to say. But mostly no, I would not. Too much of a huge difference in empathy. I just care à lot about life. I like to create instead of destroying. I use to be a meat eater and converted to vegetarian. Hard not to say it, but meat eaters have less empathy for living things, it's more gluttony (want) than need. I'll for sure offended someone. Rage from eating meat.
I am in fact seeing a vegetarian at the moment and I eat meat with everything it's hard to pick a place to eat because some menues don't have vegetarian options but otherwise it's fine.
I wouldn't be swayed or forced into becoming one though
I'm a vegetarian and I don't mind if my partner eats meat.
If they cook for me and are perfectly happy to cook meat, assuming I want it, fine.
If they're puahy about it, annoying and constantly try to guilt me, then no.
If she's not an sjw or doesn't talk incessantly about it or doesn't try to impose it on me - then I have no problem with her being vegetarian - Problem is usually these things go hand in hand - being almost a carnivore (avocadoes peppers and onions to the rescue) I'd have problems not throwing hands if she has a problem with it😂🤦🏻♂️
