I just can't date a vegan (mature, responsible, looking, personal)

[Ankhharu]

Yea, I'd never date a vegan or vegetarian. Instant deal breaker.

okay, I was on a date tonight with self-proclaimed vegan. It was horrible. it was not only her being a vegan, but her life philosophy was such that she would not do, eat, or say anything that would take away from the planet earth. No cheese, no meat, not even fruit transported from outside of the country or state.

She had the nerve to drag me to the grocery store looking for apples and then complain to an employee that they didn't have any apples that were locally produced... they only had apples from florida or new zealand. I said, "well, they all taste the same to me. how is it different to you?" she said something about her own ideology, and that she doesn't believe in trade with other countries or something.

I just can't be with someone who is so inflexible that she won't buy apples from another state. it was ridiculous...

okay, I'm done venting. Thanks for listening. Need I say that I never want to see her again?

Personally I wouldn't be able to date anyone that rigid, be it dietary, religious, political, geographical, ethnic, or whatever.

If y'all meat-eaters don't want to date a vegan or vegetarian, that's fine with us. We won't miss either your gaseous emissions or the dopey things your atherosclerotic brains occasionally belch out through your keyboards and/or mouths about us.

Well, big surprise that I like you. Really, I don't think I knew you were veg until now. I was a veg for 20 years! Now, I'm eating fish. Well, at least fish oil for my TGs. I know, lame.

Probably not the vegan or even the woman. Maybe you just don't like restrictive uptight people that are spoilsports in the grand scheme of life. Ooooh, maybe it's why you are a DC transplant in Houston? Seeking a little bit of life without always being politically correct? Enjoy my home town my friend............live a little! Enjoy a lot.

Oh I was a vegan for a bit too, a long time ago. It didn't change my view of anyone else or even my view of myself. Just something I felt I had to do for a bit but we all change right? It only enhanced my sex drive so I couldn't complain!

My girlfriend is a vegetarian, but she in no way complains about what I eat or is anything like the OP. She even takes bites of the food I eat, its just difficult for her stomach to handle too much because she has gone so many years being a vegetarian.

The only bad part about it, its difficult to find a good restaurant to go to for a date that has a veg. menu

If she's taking bites of your meat dishes, she's not a vegetarian. Rather, someone that tries to avoid meat products or something.

Ha Ha, that's hilarious -- there's probably nobody more gaseous than a person whose diet consists primarily of beans and rice!

Well, and this is another thing I've observed -- a surprising number of fat, grouchy, bossy, bullying women I know turn out to be vegetarian! I want to say -- have some bacon, you'll feel better.

Anyway, why was this thread brought back? It's from 2007...

It's more dairy than anything else that causes stink ass. Folk that eat poorly via pizza and the like offend the most! Red meat causes stink and veggies cause gas, so the combo is dangerous. Well, according to this at least. Rice and beans is more of a celiac thing than a veg thing as far as veggies go.

I would have no problems dating a vegetarian or vegan as long as they would have no problems with the fact that I'm a huge omnivore.

I am a vegetarian, well a paleo vegetarian, I don't eat any meat, I don't care about wearing leather though, I love my ecco boots, also, for everyone that thinks vegetarian food is lacking in protein, the most concentrated form of protein in the world is "Spirulina", which is a plant, and which I take as a dietary supplement, apart from that, a lot of leafy green vegetables and spinach do the trick, I would recommend quinoa instead of any grains for a good balanced protein vegetarian diet.

I wouldn't mind dating an omnivore, as long as they don't ridicule my choice of being a vegetarian, my reasons for being a vegetarian include spiritual and ecological considerations.
