Are there any guy vegetarians?

[vickiwi21]

I've been vegetarian for almost 2 years and never have I met a guy whose vegetarian! Any body out there like me? Opinions? Why are more girls than boys vegetarian!

Vegetarians seem to be more common among women. Guy vegetarians are harder to come by because of a number of reasons. The gymrat guys need meat in their diet because their nutrition goals mean a diet where protein intake far exceeds carbohydrate intake, which is literally impossible with anything not meat-based. For outdoorsy guys there's an appeal to eating food that had to be hunted and killed. And for most of us it's just a matter of taste. We love the taste. In fact I think I'm going to head to Burger King right now...

There's Veggie Burgers at some burger kings :D

[WeaponZero]

None I've seen =P

There are many vegetarian guys out there.

Sidelight: Korean prostitutes used to say that American men smelled different because of the meat in their diet.

Well I never meet any! :/

I've been a vegetarian for over a year now and I absolutely love it. The only guy that I have ever met that was a vegetarian also was my dad (over 40 years now and still going strong). I think most guys think meat is very manly and tastes good. Girls are just more mother nature bond I guess. Definitely join a club:)

Actually,i'm not a vegetarian,but...I can't remember,I think I have 1 guy friend who is a vegetarian haha.I always meet girls who are but not guys...it's weird,I even had a few female friends who were vegans

[vickiwi21]

Ha it's just I have never met a guy who didn't eat meat! Weird! I guess girls are just a little different! :D

I've been veg since I was 19. I think its hard for people to choose to do this when they're young. Maybe you should try and see if there is a local vegetarian group in your area? People are out there ;)

I'm not sure why more girls than guys are vegetarian...

[haileesea]

Yeah I know several, but mostly since I used to be a vegetarian I got into this activist group so I met a lot of vegetarians and vegans through that.

[vickiwi21]

Oooo thatts a good idea! Join a group! Thanks! :D

[haileesea]

Lol no problem.

You meet a lot of people, and it's pretty fun.
