Would you date a picky eater?

[snowangle]

Like, an EXTREMELY picky eater. This person has about 4 or 5 things total that they eat and none of them are healthy (assume the person is not overweight). They are not open to trying new things. Their selections of date night restaurants are very limited, and they won't eat 90% of what you cook.

Would this be a deal breaker?

[wingattebaby16]

yes... major deal breaker... my sister is very picky and she has gone through like 12 guys and she is only 19yo.

She is getting chubby eating only Mcdonalds, vienna sausages, cokes, ice cream, and noodle bowls.

She hates veggies, a good steak, ribs, pork, fish, chinese (unless it is fried prawns), sushi (omfg she spit out even teriyaki chicken), and won't even eat a peanut butter sandwich.

At home, she eats, but complains all the time. She is always eating cookies and i caught her eati ng a block of cream cheese and ritz in her room.

Every guy she goes out with want to take her out to dinner, but she complains she only wants McDonalds AND won't eat off the Dollar Menu! It has to be one of those $6 to $8 combo meals and she normally orders a 2nd hamburger!

So, yes a picky eater is a major deal breaker! Also, they usually want you to pay for dinner AND will only eat at those EXPENSIVE places that serve shitty food, hardly any of it, and its wird like vegan crap!

I love sushi, a juicy beef steak, pork chops, and both kinds of ibs.

[MaskedSanity]

Yep, deal breaker.

I've met several people like that and not only were they limited by their small dietary choices, they had this shitty attitude about it as well, pretending that anything beyond their personal likes is disgusting.

"Eww, you like x? Gross!!!" And it could be anything like onions, fish, mayonnaise, eggs, dairy products, etc. You know, not unusual stuff, just generic food most people enjoy.

Some even made vomiting impressions when others discussed things they liked to eat while the picky eater didn't.

[snowangle]

Omg yes! It gets very old when he does that.

[Ghosted]

possibly a deal breaker. i couldn imagine the impact of this long term, cuz i grew up with families eating the same dinner together and would like to cook with my partner. i understand people can be picky, but it would be frustrating to me honestly and idunno how itd impact raising kids who are told one thing but see one parent picky, u know? no offense to u, i just can't picture it based on my life experience

[snowangle]

Oh it's not me lol, it's my boyfriend. Gets on my last nerve but I love him! ;)

[Ghosted]

gotchha lol i suppose its differnt if u already love a person then

[Schneidy]

I would be ok with picky eating but a refusal to try new foods would be a deal breaker for me. I am a relatively picky eater myself but I am open to trying new foods if I think they will taste good, and have eaten some truly horrible things when they were the only option.

[Avenuewriter]

Would depend on what she'd eat. Pizza? I can eat pizza until I die. Though we'd have to work around my own dietary requirements, as they're health related. I don't think there'd be an issue. I think it'd actually be simpler to cook for someone like that because you know for sure what they'll go for.

[snowangle]

I just really wish he'd eat healthier. All he eats is junk (pizza, a lot of the time).

[BertMacklinFBI]

i got no probs with that.

it doesn't meant we both can't enjoy what we want to eat. I'll simply go to pick her food up first, and then get mine and we'll eat our own food together with Netflix or some shit.

[snowangle]

The fact that none of her foods are healthy doesn't bother you?

[BertMacklinFBI]

okay in your situation like the description, it depends, people can eat unhealthy everyday and still live healthy, yeah that sounded weird, but you know what I mean, plenty of exercise and water and activities.

now if she were a slob and going totally downhill, I wouldn't be in that relationship to begin with.

but if she wants to eat a burger and I want pizza then that doesn't bother me. We'll got both.

[BertMacklinFBI]

get*

[ElissaDido]

I only eat halal but I don't consider myself picky, but oh heavens No! I don't want to feel like I am dating a 5 years old 😭🙅🏻

[gray_sailor]

Not interested.

I like trying out new foods too much to be involved with someone so limited in their appetites.

Thankfully, my wife is of the same mindset. Excluding seafood, she's up for trying just about anything (and cooking it too!).

Lucky, lucky me. 😊

[gray_sailor]

Thanks for the MHO.

[CocoRachelle]

Maybe before, but now I don't think it would be a deal breaker for me. I am a very picker eater due to health reasons, and can only eat a limited amount of things. I hate it, but I would never force my diet on to someone else. If someone else was comfortable in their eating habits, then so be it.

[FilthyPervert]

The person isn't forcing their diet onto you...

[RJGraveyTrain]

Noooooooooooope. I am 100% the opposite. I love cooking, experimenting, and trying new things. That attitude sucks and I would break it off.

[bhale2012]

It would be for me I love to cook and get super offended when someone picks stuff out of things I cook. Also, I generally try to cook things that everyone eating will enjoy and I couldn't be limited like that for the rest of my life

[Telekinetic-Potato]

My last girlfriend maintained an extremely Kosher diet. Like, any more Kosher than her and she would be carrying two sets of silverware with her and a rabbi on standby to bless the fucking food XD

I thought it was really cute

[wineme2014]

For me it would. I love to cook and it wouldn't be fun if they couldn't try what I made or if I couldn't cook for them or if we couldn't try different restaurants.

[DrKran]

Yeah, I'm a picky eater myself. Eat what you like, and don't eat what you detest.
I dislike eggplant, fig, green banana, sweet potatoes, and anything that doesn't have rich flavor.

[damnwinter]

why not? I have been in weirder relationships. :)) and well there are more important things in a relationship than their diet :D no worries!

[Benk111]

I'm a picky eater my self so I would have no problem with that. Also speaking for all picky eaters in the world we are not stopping you from having whatever you want we just don't want to what your having. How is us not trying your food a bad thing.

[Benk111]

Also restaurants are prepared for a picky eaters and they always have standard foods like cheese burgers french fries grilled cheese something that pic years would like.

[snowangle]

Actually, we went to my favorite restaurant this year for Valentine's Day, which serves family-style meals (where everyone shares what they eat). And I was extremely limited on what we could share. It was still yummy, but disappointing.

Also, what about when we have kids? I want their father to set an example on eating healthy. Eating pizza and buffalo wings every night doesn't send a good message.

[Love5645]

i think that would be extremely annoying. but if you love the person then this shouldn't get in the way

[Hans222]

It would certainly not stop me dating the person, though of course I'd give my honest opinions on it - with a smile :D

[Matt1994]

If I really liked her I'd ask her out, but only on the condition that she'd agree to be less picky. If not then I'd leave her to be annoying to some other guy.

[AndyOh]

Well, I think you just saw how life with him will be in the food and restaurant choices. The Chaute' Brian will have to wait till you have company.

[GingerGuy]

It shouldn't be a deal breaker. Some people are like this. You accept them for who they are, not what you think they should be.

[Littlett25]

Sure I'd date them but they better not expect me too cook for them.

[Prof_Don]

I can probably deal with this, food compatibility isn't everything. Plus I will be ordering whatever I want to eat anyways! :-D

[Alohaloli]

No!!! Unless it matched up with my eating habits no way

[JamielovesKU]

I would still date them because I'm a picky eater myself...

[GymBumGuy]

annoying yea kinda will it get boring yea but it is what it is its not a big deal

[Yellow_]

Yeah, that might be a deal breaker.
I'm picky myself but that is too extreme for me

[adamski24]

No sorry i'm sure you're a really nice girl but your food thing puts me off

[snowangle]

It's actually my boyfriend with the food problem haha :)

[adamski24]

Oh.
How difficult is it to eat with him

[adamski24]

You will have to try and hide other things in his food like with children

[snowangle]

I'm not even sure that'll work with him, haha. It's very difficult. And what worries me is our relationship is serious so I'm thinking about the future, and how on earth am I gonna get our future kids to eat healthy if he won't?

[chrisbigman]

I'm not sure. I'm not too much of a picky eater myself. I guess it depends on how severe her "pickiness" is.

[chnapo]

WTF is this? some mental illness? seriously, that should be cured :(

[truthhammer]

Not an extremely picky one

I m a foodie and in nutrition and this means variety on my part..

[DBAOracle]

No. I don't care what she eats so long she wouldn't bother me for eating stuff she wouldn't like.

[FilthyPervert]

Yes and I would tear the fucking throat out of anyone who teased/bullied her about it.

[carinerose]

Awww

[ShayanMortazavi1]

Sounds like a great way to get shot down here Miami

[hollywood2]

I would date a picky eater. It doesn't bother me.

[Imafreespirit]

I dont think so, thats so boring lol

[thisGUYknows]

Total turn off. No matter how pretty she is.

[JubJub_Hi]

I agree! I love many foods :)

[abundantlyrich]

Forget it. Not my type at all.

[dwiller943]

Yes!! They understand me better!!

[dwiller943]

But the level of picky that you are describing? No!! That's too picky!!

[Thefighter1212]

It wouldn't annoying me at all

[pooper89]

Yeah that probably would be a deal breaker

[Hollywood-Glam]

I can date but not marry that person.

[PLLFan21]

No thank you. That's a deal breaker for me.

[xOGxDub]

I live with one now lol

[sp33d]

Unhealthy attitude. Deal is broken.

[TheWorldEndsWithYou]

Yeah big deal breaker for me

[Dred1614]

Probably not, unless they have a lot of allergies.

[danzeen]

no, seems like a bore.

[SkiBum69]

Are they Vegan?

[snowangle]

Nope haha. Their 5 regular food items include cheeseburgers and chicken wings.

[Daynada]

Sounds like my kid

[Smells-like-lavender]

Yeah why not
