    I think it'd be nice to date a vegan but there is more to dietary preference when it comes to people, of course. I met a militant vegan guy once but we just didn't "click" and even our friendship ended quickly. More often than not, the standards people set up for themselves don't mean anything when they find the right person.

    I don't think it matters what the person eats, more like their personality and how they treat you. It's very easy enough to convert someone. My boyfriend was the veggie and I was the omnivore, but now I've converted to vegetarianism. So setting standards like that in my opinion is retarded.

    Even through i have choosed to live a vegan life, i dont want to limit myself from friendships and relationsship with meat eaters.
    My girlfriend eats meat but she accepts my eating habits and how much it means to me, so theres no problem there.
    But personally i would have a problem if she wore fur or a lot of leather products, that would be too much.
    I dont think anyone should change just to please someone.
    The most important thing is people can choose for them self and still have a healthy relationship to each other.

  • I'm dating a non-vegetarian. I've been vegetarian for my entire life (both my parents are) and I've been vegan for almost three years. He eats meat, and that's his decision to make. I couldn't see myself turning down such a great relationship just because of what happens to be on his plate every other night.

    But then again, most veg*s are that way because they're big animal lovers. I love animals, but that's not why I don't eat their products. Maybe that's part of it.

    I don't see any plusses in dating a vegan/vegetarian. My boyfriend goes to vegan restaurants with me all the time and is very conscientious of my dietary restrictions. He's totally awesome. :)

    I would date a omnivorous, but for sure vegetarians girls have a "plus". As for vegetarians friends, I currently don't have any, but I would really like to have one, or to convert my older friends.


    +1. Veg*an girls get a little extra consideration from me because it simplifies eating together. Plus people sometimes take the veg*an thing the wrong way and think that I am sort of implicitly judging them all the time or something like that (honest, I'm not the sort of guy to be making self-righteous comments while others are eating!). Let me tell you, that's not a fun situation to be in when it comes to someone you genuinely admire as a person...

    I see no big deal. Afterall, love is a mysterious thing; if one loves someone, and if this love is true, their diet would not be big deal. But, luckily, I'm dating a vegetarian :)

    I see no problem in dating non vegetarian... but honestly I think that living permanently with someone who eats meat might get hard for me. I must sound terrible closed minded but anyway I think I'd get extreamely irrateted if I suddenly had someone's bacons in my fridge or something like that :S (lol)

    But just like Fladio said, love is a mysterious thing and it's not about what one eats or doesn't eat :)

  • Yes. Only girl I've been out with that's been a vegetarian is my current girlfriend.

    That's exactly how I see it too. There are so many different things which when combined make a good and satisfying relationship. I personally could tolerate a girlfriend eating meat, at least if she's happy to eat vegetarian food when eating together.

    Living together with somebody who eats meat every day at home would be more difficult though.

    I've actually never dated a fully vegetarian girl, but I'm looking for one...

    I would date a carnivore - why not? Isn't love supposed to be over any differences and tastes?
    though it'd demand some great acceptance from both sides and understanding other's beliefs - but hey - love's all about this too :] so I'm positive on dating a guy eating meat.

    singing drinking acting kinky :D
  • I thought about this a lot over the last year. I mean... It's a bit strange really, sitting there and wondering whether I could do that. And I guess not. As strange as that sounds. I just... couldn't do it. I mean... Of course I don't decide to like only people who don't eat meat, but I mean... It might make the person even more interesting... if it's a vegeterian or vegan, y'know? But that's all theoretical, it probably would turn out differently anyway. I think I might be too "ideological" about it... -_-

    I dreaded sunny days so I'll meet you at the cemetery gates...



    I've been standing by the nile when I saw the lady smile.

    what i prefer to eat (or not to eat) it doesnt have to do with whom i like.

    I agree. I'm vegan and my boyfriend Loves eating meat,but I still love him anyway.

  • My parents have never been a vegetarian or a vegan, so why shouldn't I accept it that my boyfriend is a carnivor? It's his own choice, I'll still love him. But he has to respect my choice too, and he must be willing to cook vegetarian for me (and he got to accept too that I won't cook meat for him). (:

    I would. It's ok to be different from your partner.

  • Yes, but I could honestly never kiss them or anything of the sort. All that meaty fat mank.

    I would, as long as they refrained from giving me shit about it. I wouldn't give them shit about their bacon habit.

  • I'd totally date a non-vegan/vegetarian.
    It's my choice to be one; it's not like I have to impose my opinions on people.

    i'd REALLY prefer to date a vegetarian or vegan girl, but at the same time, i'd have a really hard time turning down a girl just because she eats meat.

    bornheadless: exactly... but there's a solution. Start dating the girl you love, show her your love and show her your love with animals, too. For me, this worked. My finacee was an omnivore, now she's vegetarian planning to switch to vegan :-)

    I'm on the fence about this issue. In the past, I might have been fine with dating someone of any dietary background. But these days, I've really taken up cooking and I can't imagine myself being unable to cook a meal for someone I love because of their needs/desires/etc. There is not only an intimate appeal to home-cooked meals, but also a huge enjoyment for me in cooking new meals - whether it's a certain meal I saw prepared on some food show or I had at some family/friendly event. So, as crazy as this might sound, I don't know if I'd actually be able to date either a vegan or an omnivore. As my reasons for being a vegetarian are mostly environmental, having to cook two separate meals is illogical, and I don't think eating out for variety is the way to go. [Plus, coming from a huge family, eating meals together with loved ones has always been a huge part of my life and having that connection over a great dinner is not something I wish to miss.]

  • Hard to say. It would be possible but could definitely cause major problems. My "ideal partner" would definitely not be a meat eater so I highly doubt i will ever get married to anyone who eats meat as i just wouldn't be alright with having it in my house.

    Haha. One of my exes was a meat eater, and he ate mints before kissing me. I couldn't taste anything 99% of the time. Although there was at least one time that I could taste the meat (or cheese?) on his tongue, which was pretty gross.

    He was going to go vegan for me, but then we broke up.


    I'm going out with a vegan now. I would prefer my partners to be vegan or at least vegetarian, but I could go out with a meat eater. The main issue I have is that every meat eater I've gone out with has said something ignorant and annoying about veganism (including the guy above). So they would have to be very accepting.

    And it's good to have a vegan partner, because you can talk about the evil slaughter houses and other things that might make meat eaters uncomfortable.

    Also, it's definitely true that vegans taste better. XD

  • i was, but then he turned vegetarian, it was awesome and i was proud of him (: i'm not one of those pestering vegetarians who tries to turn everyone around them vegetarian, he just announced one day he was going to cause he'd heard my views on the subject.
    now we always jokingly lecture everyone haha (:

    If you dropped your keys,
    you'd bend over too.
