Would you date someone who eats meat or would you be turned off?
Vegetarians and Vegans, are you uncomfortable with your partner eating meat?
Would you date someone who eats meat or would you be turned off?
Nope. It's a personal choice and what he decides to eat is really non of my business. If it's to where it interferes with his health, sure, I might try to convey him to eat a little bit more healthy, not necessarily try to persuade him to go (vegan/vegetarian). But other than that, I don't expect anyone to have the same eating habits as mine. I know it's not for everybody., and I'm fine with that.
Nothing unhealthy about eating red meat - as long as it's part of a healthy balanced diet.
It can cause artery clogs, but this is mainly due to over consumption. I'm a meat eater, have been for all my life, there's no way I would ever give it up but I of course I do add vegetables to my meal.
No everyone has their choices I chose to be a vegetarian but you can eat meat and it honestly doesn't matter to me
So it doesn't bother you that he goes against what you believe - that killing animals is cruel and they shouldn't be eaten because of their feelings, etc ...
I dated girl that was a vegetarian and it didn't cause a rift at all...the most I had to do was separate some of my cooking for her before adding the meat and learn that she couldn't eat gelatin or lard (in California there's a lot of Mexican food!)
as long as bacon is considered necessary for life, I could live with it.

It doesn't bother me that he eats meat
But it does bother me if he keeps pressuring me to eat meat. I dates a guy once that kept pushing meat on me though I don't eat it. That annoyed me
Me neither.
I'd be uncomfortable dating a vegetaría. I like to cluck like a chicken whilst eating chicken and moo like a cow while eating meat.
Hehehehe ;)
It doesn't make me uncomfortable at all. If I limited my dating to only vegetarians or vegans, I would have very little options. It is all about respecting the choices of other people. As long as I don't have to touch or cook meat, I have no problem with a boyfriend eating it.
No, it's my own choice and it doesn't affect how I view a potential partner. The only thing that would bother me would be if they didn't respect my choice to be a vegan and were judgemental.
Personally I have no issues with vegan/veg people, I just find it fascinating how the human race developed in such a way to "hate" meat.
It is interesting; I think we're becoming more aware. But I don't 'hate' meat itself, I dislike the industry that produces it, and as a result I've chosen to have as little to do with it as possible. I couldn't continue to define myself as a compassionate and kind person if I supported the meat/dairy industry, supporting it would go against a quality that I value very highly in myself.
I don't have a boyfriend, but I sure wouldn't mind. I mean, as long as he doesn't pressure me to eat me, everything is cool, because I def wouldn't pressure him to vegetarianism.
No not in general. Although if we were living together I'd insist they buy organic
And if he refuses on the ground that Organic food tastes weird and costs a lot?
So you'd rather move in with someone vegan/veg?
You do know that you're cutting a massive proportion of men by doing so?
You can be a meat eater and care about animal welfare at the same time.
well not really. At least not if you live in the US nd don't buy organic. Or you just don't know anything about modern meat/diary production.
I get that other countries have stricter animal welfare laws, but here you just have to be really concious about what you buy.
It's not so much the killing of animals that bothers me, but the misery of their lives up to that point and if you choose to ignore that and still buy products produced like that then I don't want to be with you
No I don't shove vegetarianism is people's faces because I remember that fried chicken was delicious
