Ceece I think they do that because I believe for most vegans the choice isn't a matter of preference
but a moral choice. Because it's a moral choice and they believe the world would be better if others
made the same choice they're going to feel it's important to tell everyone about it.

I usually don't either. Especially women who have dark circles under their eyes, grunt a lot, and just keep saying "BRAINS! I WANNNNT BRAAAINNNNSSSS!!!!" They turn me off big time.
***warning*** if you are a vegan, please leave this thread now. if you continue, you will find this offensive and I'm not on this forum to hurt people's feelings.

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?
This isn't typical of someone who's vegan. She just sounds like a picky weirdo.
Probably because you, or other people, are trying to feed them meat.
I dunno. I just spend an entire weekend with a group of mixed vegetarians and non...and I wouldn't have known who was who. Everyone managed to eat their food (provided for them at various parties) without saying a darn thing (they just picked what they could and couldn't eat and went on their way).
I'm a professional athlete, since 18 years old I've been healthy for 15 years now. I'm also very respectful, conservative corporate values, successful in the tech world, charismatic yet very simple man. For the last 6 weeks I've been dating a very nice vegan lady, she is the one I'd kick ball when I was 10 years old or do mischief at school. I could fall in love with the kind of people in no time and I think I'm in love, but I'm baffled. We do all activities which I like as I'm very active, but I'm kept at a distance somehow. It just feels that my girlfriend (I hope it's right because she kissed me and we kissed each other around 10 times) just feels that she is really inflexible. I have a big heart and can be romantic, but it just feels that my girlfriend is not excited, not sure if she is interested in sex or talking about it. Talking about the future... Maybe I should ask? When we're together I think we both deplete our body resources, but I'm sure I recover instantly. I do fasting and all that, but I can recover with... stew, honey, yogurt in no time. By the way, I'm thinking about creating a family. Am I on the right track or I should leave this strange train to hell knows where it is going. Do vegans like families? I have so many questions, never had them before... Baffled

Huh??
Signed,
A horny vegan, happily married to a meat-eater, with whom I share 3 children
I dated a vegan from Slovenia (the country of the First Lady's birth). She was fantastic, and as long as we were cooking at home food was not really a problem. I eat meat rarely - 2/3 times per week - so it wasn't a huge change for me. I adapted well to non-animal milks, cheeses, etc.
Traveling was difficult. Finding vegan options on the road was a chore and made our couple trips together frustrating.
The "problem" isn't so much with vegans as with the fact that there aren't enough vegans to entice grocery stores and restaurants to have more vegan options.
I would not want to be with a vegan. If it did work out you have condemned yourself to a life of eating thier strange food, dealing with strange belief and of course facing thier judgement if you choose to not be like them. Dating a vegan sounds like self inflicted torture. Vegans are unlikely to tolerate being with a "savage" meat eater anyway, as that is proof they don't care about "the planet".
