Let's say your partner or crush really hates what you really like to eat, would you stop eating it for good if it ensures you that it'll make that person like you (and dislike you if you didn't stop)?
Hell no. Unless I'm eating junk food all the time (which I do not... I'm a health nut), then there should be no reason for me to stop eating the way I do. Anyone trying to control my lifestyle to the point of telling me not to eat my favourite foods is a hard pass.
For fucks sake, if I could make up my day's food plan, I'd have a berry fruit bowl with Greek yogurt and granola every morning, a shawarma wrap with chicken, bruschetta, tabouleh, a ton of tzatziki, and a little drizzle of hot sauce every lunch, and for dinner I'd have one of the following:
-A burger with a bison patty, melted cheddar cheese, kale, tomato, fried onions rings, and avocado on a brioche bun and using burger sauce
-pot roast
-oven baked salmon fillet with a kale and cherry tomato salad topped with an avocado cilantro lemon yogurt dressing as a side
-steak with a side of loaded potato with bacon bits, cheddar cheese, green onion, and sour cream
-chicken pot pie

Nope, part of being with someone is accepting them how they are, a level of respect. I’ve dated vegetarians and I refuse to give up steak, however I was happy to have vegetarian only meals, as I do like veggie food and even now don’t always have meat.
I'm a big foodie and food is my love language, so no. I would want to eat the foods that I like with my partner and share that happy moment together. If my partner can't respect my food choices then they will have to go. The only exception would be if they still let me enjoy my favorite foods even though they don't like them (like they don't have to eat but they still let me.)
No, I draw the line at critical things like allergies. If one of us is allergic to something we probably have to keep it out of the house. But if it’s something one of us enjoys, we can just have a special night during the week where we mix things up and each have our favorite foods. (Love is about compromise.)

Ah, the things we do for love, right? 😏 But here's the dish: sacrificing your favorite food for someone else's preference might seem sweet, but it's a recipe for resentment in the long run. If they're ready to give you the cold shoulder over something as personal as taste, that, my friend, might be a gourmet-sized red flag. 🚩 A relationship should be a buffet of mutual respect and understanding, not a one-way street to flavor town. So, savor your favorites and find someone who appreciates you for all your tastes, even the quirky ones! After all, love is about embracing each other's likes and dislikes, not changing them. Who knows, maybe you'll both find a new favorite dish together that you love! 💑🍝

1. I've never been in a relationship in which I needed to change my diet to keep my partner.
2. Any woman who threatens to leave me unless I change my diet is a controlling, likely passive-aggressive little bitch and it is best to learn that now, pick up my shit, and get on down the road.
I probably would not even start dating someone who didn't have similar goals when it comes to (mostly) healthy eating. It boils down to a compatibility issue. I mean, we don't have to eat exactly the same, but it's way too hard to accommodate two completely different diets and makes prep and cleanup a nightmare. I mean, you have one person trying to meet personal goals and drinking smoothies and the other person bingeing on Cheetos and Coke. It just doesn't work very well, in my opinion, although I'm sure there are exceptions. I have nothing against Cheetos and Coke if that's your jam, but I have chosen not to include them in my lifestyle for health reasons.
So no, I wouldn't stop eating the way I eat for anyone. It's too important.
Depends on what's happening. If both if us need to follow a certain diet, it's one thing. If one is intolerant or allergic to something those are two other things. Only thing I'd say, is that if someone's allergic to peanut butter, they'd be better off not dating me.
No. I am a vegetarian and I would never impose my views on anyone regarding what they choose to eat, in the same way that I cannot tolerate when others impose their views on me regarding on what I choose to eat.
Sure, I would do it if they ate healthy and weren't being pushy about it. Small price to pay to be with someone you really liked. It's just food.
Whaaat? How shallow is that? I am what I eat, so he could take it and me as we are or find another place to graze.
I couldn't live with someone again who likes tripe. Gawd awful smell when cooking all through my childhood 🤮
if it was because of allergies then yes, but if they just didn't LIKE it, then i probably wouldn't give the food up
Would not be with anyone who was that demanding as I am sure the food problem is only the first of many to come should I stay.
If it was a matter of giving up corn flakes I would do it but if she wanted me to give up meat and become a vegetarian I would say no.
No. No person is above : I voted. Food firstmmmm 🍔 🥤🍟 🍫 🍗🐔 🐠🐟 and more mmmmm 🌮 🍓🍑 🍎🍏 🍑 🍈🍈
I'll never stop eating meat and drinking milk! No girl is going to take that from me. But if she's trying to stop me from eating sugar or something if I'm diabetic then that's ok.
Tough call, generally if they accept me, they should accept what I eat.
My so is gluten free. If you think I'm giving up pasta or bagels you're fucked in the head.
Hypothetically speaking, if that was the only issue, sure
It would be weird that they care what you eat unless you are always eating junk
Only a crazy bitch would be this obsessed about what a man eats. Hard pass.
I’d stop talking to him instead
No because food makes me happier than women do
Hahaha hell no
