For guys: What do you think of girls being vegetarian?

Question

I'm just wondering what a guy would think if he started dating a girl and found out she was a vegetarian? Would you think it was a big deal or she was weird? I'm just wondering, because I'm a vegetarian and its awkward telling new people that. If it doesn't come in conversation, I don't say it, but then when I do, they say "Oh wow. I never knew that." So how would you guys react if a girl told you that?

Answer 1

That would be awesome, and I'll know they are probably really nice girls.

Answer 2

i wouldnt care as long as she didnt mind me eating meat and if i cooked a meal or ordered a meal with meat for her becuz i wasnt thinking and trying to do something nice for her then as long as she didnt freak out i wouldnt mind it at all its no big deal as long as she stays healthy with wat she eats

Answer 3

When I met my wife she was vegan. (I was a a meat eater, not much though). I used to think it was a bit weird that she was veg and felt bad for her. You know, all the good food she was missing out on etc.

Anyway, she had no problems with me eating meat and she never gave me a hard time either. Eventually I started reading up on it and I, myself became vegetarian, then later vegan. Now I feel sorry for meat eaters...180 degree change. Go figure...

If your new partner reacts negatively to it, then dump him. He should respect you no matter what your dietary preferances are.

Cheers

I am not a vegetarian but I couldn't care less. If anything, it would be good cos she would be a cheap date: no expensive lobsters/seafood or steak dinners on dates. And if she makes me a vegetarian dinner and I still feel hungry or unsatisfied after, I can always go get something on my own later.

But my wife won't let me go on dates now...

RELATIONSHIP

A “typical” woman knows that a man must love her if he forsakes s*x with all other women. A woman looks for self-denial in a man, since it is a sign of strength and loyalty. Such a man might make a better father. The ability to defer pleasure shows maturity. A man who just wants fun fun fun now is unlikely to be a responsible father. A man who can plan ahead so far that he only gets his final reward in heaven is a man who will stick around and help pay for the kids.

Most vegetarians are women. In Britain, a person is doubly likely to suffer from vegetarianism if he is female. Part of the reason for this is that women like the taste of meat less than men. This stems from the fact that women have inherited the instincts of gatherers and men those of hunters. In all hunter-gatherer societies today, however, women prize meat. They love meat, just not quite as much as men do. The greater reason, I believe, is that women use vegetarianism to test men. By requiring men to deny themselves pleasure, they test the resolve of the men, and their loyalty. It is a very effective test of loyalty. The proof of this is that the VAST majority of men who succumb to vegetarianism (I’m afraid I have lost the figures, which weren’t 100% reliable anyway, because the accurate comprehensive study of this has not be done - it would cost a fortune, and no one needs to know that much) either have vegetarian sexual partners, or are trying to get some. Just as tellingly, when men split up from their veggie girlfriends, they near invariably start enjoying meat again. This goes to prove amongst other things that men really will do ANYTHING for s*x.

Of course, some men do stay vegetarian for many years, even if they are without a girlfriend. A man who has been a veggie for many years has proof of his dedication to the god of plants, and will perhaps one day impress a chick with this loyalty. It is a long term strategy. To disprove this, you will have to find that there are many men who have been vegetarian for many years, and in that time have had large numbers of girlfriends, most of whom have not been vegetarian.

Answer 6

I enjoy a wide spectrum of food and I enjoy eating it with companions who share my pleasure. So I would not want to have a long-term relationship with someone I could not share my culinary experiences with.

Answer 7

I'm not a guy, so I can't really answer your question. But I do know that after becoming more comfortable with many of my boyfriends, it's not hard to convince them to watch EARTHLINGS with me, and I've had 100% success in opening their eyes. It's great to raise awareness, but when you can bring it to the attention of someone you care about, it's even better. :)

Answer 8

How does it effect me? If I'm not going to be judged it doesn't matter.

Would be nice if they had a reason, and I'd be happy if they told me before i was making them or buying them some food, otherwise its just inconsiderate.

Still all in all, it doesn't matter. You can have plenty of nice vegetarian food too.

Answer 9

I'm not awkward. If a girl thinks it's stupid or strange that I'm a vegan, then she can eff off! Not my type.

Any half-decent person would be respectful at the least.

I can't say I've had much experience with this, though, since me and my long-term girlfriend both went vegan together long ago. Although I did have one girlfriend before who was vegan. I didn't really think about it much at the time, I was 15, but I wasn't freaked out or angry or anything like some people are. She was keen to cook for me and talk about it to me, but the relationship just kinda trailed off after three weeks.
