I am okay as long as they are not one of those annoying vegans

likefunny

They’re angry because they miss the taste of animals.

I have a couple friend where one is vegetarian and the other likes meat. Their rule is that there’s no meat in the home, but the vegetarian can’t say anything to the meat eater if they order meat while dining out.

Ex wanted to eat out every meal, I prefer to cook at home. We both were getting fat on her preferred meals. Not dating picky eaters who can’t cook anymore.

Having meals together is part of being in a relationship so feel like incompatibility there is important. If one persons vegetarian and you can make your proteins as a side item for yourself, feel like that’s a fair compromise.

Possibly. I wouldn’t date someone with an extremely unhealthy diet or an adult with the taste range of a child

Yes. I couldn’t be with someone who eats like a child.

I couldn't even get to a relationship with someone who overly monitors their food or bodies. No calorie counting. No weighing food. I won't normalize disordered eating and it's not my responsibility to diagnose and help them. Also no vegans for me. Vegetarians are okay but not preferred.

Oh yes, how can anyone eat differently than me?

funny

Really depends. I grew up in different countries so my pallette is very seasoned and I'll pretty much eat anything. I know some people can't handle that. However if they only eat hotdogs, pizza, burgers etc, basically eat like a 5 year old. It's a no for me dawg. Also vegans and vegetarians not allowed 😆

likefunny

Only if they gave me grief about my diet. To each their own!

like

No. It’s not ideal (if say, one of us is a huge carnivore and the other is a vegan) but this is something that can be worked out. Both sides need to be understanding, COMMUNICATIVE, and willing to compromise (when possible) when it comes to meals, though.

Nah. More for me.

Taste in food, no. We can go out for or make whatever you are craving. Lifestyle difference in diet, yes. You aren’t eating like you want to live in a wheel chair or hospital bed due to lack of health.

like

Depends how different

If it's the right person they should be okay with the way you eat. Communication is everything!

No, so long as they don’t push that diet on me.

It depends on how it is different and whether I could envision working with the differences for a lifetime. If the differences are so stark that sharing meals together becomes a challenge and we have to have separate foods all the time, that just isn’t tenable for life.
