Eat what you want and if someone gives you crap for it then they probably aren't worth dating.

I am surprised how food can be such a problem in relationships. It certainly has not been my experience. I cook most of the time and my wife and I do not sit together for dinner most of the time mostly because our dinner time preferences are different. She likes to eat between 6 and 7pm and I usually dont eat until at least 8 pm or 9 pm I usually cook some type of animal protein and some carb and she either eats or declines and makes herself a salad but then packs a bowl of what I cooked for lunch the next day. We don't eat absolutely the same things but that has never been an issue for us.

She should be shamed for her over the top ignorance. To compare intermittent fasting to an eating disorder is preposterous.

Ditto that. Must be the area. If its more more of a progressive location, you'd probably see more dudes going vegan.

I've yet to meet a man that's VEGAN though.

But, my word, going out to eat with her was a nightmare. She couldn't eat this. She couldn't eat that. She was rail thin and would constantly complain about how fat she was getting.
That's not just intermittent fasting- it's downright high maintenance. I do a modified form of intermittent fasting (unlimited green vegetables and moderate amounts of fresh fruit) and I prefer to avoid large pieces of meat, pasta, potatoes, etc. I can still find something I like in most restaurants and relax my rules on special occasions. The rigidity and insecurity of the woman above would wear most people down.

I usually lose dates when I tell them my favorite Mexican place serves great Cat tacos.

Actually, I also do IF and it's not even a factor. My meals I skip are usually breakfast and lunch but will always eat lightly on a date.

Met plenty of vegan men. Lots of them in the MMA/BJJ/Krav Maga scene and the hardcore music scene. Very common.

Runningforthieves knows them from the straight edge hardcore scene as well, I suspect, since he overlaps in that group (the username is a homage to a old NYHC band's 2nd record).
