A question for veg*n ladies?

Question

For this question, assume you're single even if you aren't.

1.Whom would you prefer to date - a meat eater, a vegetarian or a vegan?
2. How important is his diet in comparision to his looks?

Answer 1

For me I prefer not to cook 2 different meals. However, if the guy was open to educating himself on why I eat Organic Vegetarian then at least try the prepared food, then it wouldn't matter.

On the looks part, for me looks are important because diet, body size, etc. can change. Looks you are stuck with for a life time and I want to like what I'm lookin' at. =)

Answer 2

1. Even though I'm not quite vegan, if I were single I'd prefer a vegan or near-vegan guy. My SO is lacto-ovo-veg so obviously I'm ok with that too although I won't cook eggs for him. Before we got together, I dated meat-eaters almost exclusively b/c I didn't know many vegetarian guys who weren't already spoken for. My SO ate meat until we'd been together for several months-- he gradually cut back & then stopped completely. It's most important that a person be *open* to vegetarianism.
2. You can get used to a person's looks, no matter how gorgeous they are. It's much more important that we agree on things that we're concerned about, so a person with a similar diet would be *likely* to have similar opinions about animal suffering as well as personal & global health.

Answer 3

The guy I'm with ate meat and is now vegetarian. . .and he was once an avid carnivore. . .carnie hehe. . .jk. . .anyway, from Lebanon. . .big on the kebabs, shish tawouk, shawarma, etc.
I never forced my opinions on him, but when he asked I would simply share all that I've read. He would sometimes try to challenge it, I would counter challenge and share more information. One day, out of nowhere, to my surprise, he stopped eating meat. It's been over a year now and he's big on not having it. He even raves about how much better he feels and how much more energy he has.

Assuming I was single, I would like a vegetarian or vegan I suppose simply because it shows a lot about the person. . .I like someone who cares about themselves and everything around them. I don't know if I'd put it as an obsessive requisite, though, because often times, as with my guy, with enough information people can change. In the end, though, it has to do with the person. Looks are about what one person is attracted to. My boyfriend is not modelesque or anything, but I think he's hot. He's someone I enjoy looking at. Someone else may or may not. Same goes with anyone. And, yes, I'd like someone pleasing for me to look at and someone I'm attracted to. . .but other qualities are important, of course, as well. . .

Answer 4

1. I'd prefer a vegan, but if I not date someone just because they weren't vegan.
2. A lot more important, but personality would be the most important. Looks aren't really that important at all to me.

Answer 5

I'd prefer to date someone vegetarian or vegan...but where I'm at it is rare to meet someone else who is vegan...especially a man. It's not just about diet and looks...it's about the person as a whole.

Answer 6

1. Vegan or veggie (I am veggie, but I don't eat eggs).
2. Looks don't count that much - personality and intelligence do. Vegetarianism/veganism would definitely make him more appealing as a person - I know a veggie whose meat-eating boyfriend makes no concessions to her diet, and I think that is gross.

Answer 7

1. i would prefer a vegan
2. i'd probably go for looks

However..I live with a meat-eater (so I would probably get abuse from 'real' vegans) but he does happily eat meat substitutes as long as he gets real meat now and then and he doesn't mind using vegan toilettries, cleaning products, etc. We were both meat-eaters when we met, so I accept that I can't change him (although making him watch 'meet your meat' almost did!)

Answer 8

Well looks aren't important to me. And he should be a vegetarian or a vegan, or at least care about animals and boycott all cruel products and companies.

Answer 9

I dont eat meat, and I try to eat as little animal product as possible. However, I do not look for that in a guy. At home, my fiance eats what I cook, and when he goes out with friends he may eat meat and it does not bother me. He drinks soymilk at home.
A person's diet in comparison to their looks? to me, its important that he loves me. That he makes me laugh. That we trust one another and respect eachother. With respect would come his eating in regards to my beliefs. that is what you perhaps are getting at. there are a lot of vegan or vegetarian ladies that would feel you are disrespecting them by eating meat in front of them, etc. I am not one.

Answer 10

Have you ever been alone in the a room with a girl? You sure seem to ask a lot of questions about who they would rather date etc. Maybe you should go to a gym and work out or something, maybe girls would look at you then. But for the work out to actually do you any good you would have to eat some meat.
