If I was single, I might date someone who ate meat *if* he was open-minded about my being veg & if he had other qualities that I admire. Yes, it would be a kind of dilemma b/c eting meat doesn't seem ethical to me, but I realize that I'm living in a strongly flesh-oriented culture.
When I 1st went veg I was involved with a non-veg who didn't really understand *why* I quit eating meat, but whenever we had a meal together he'd avoid meat also. That relationship didn't last for a number of reasons & most of the guys I knew were meat-eaters. Some of them *totally* didn't understand why I didn't eat meat & thought it was funny to phone me to describe their dinners so I'd know what I was "missing"!
My SO was a meat-eater when we got together, but he's really open-minded & I told him what he eats is up to him but don't expect me to cook meat for anyone. He likes my cooking, enjoys some of my favorite veg dishes when we go out & he gradually stopped eating meat during our 1st year together.

Get over it. If it influences everything in your life, then you have a problem.

Knowing that they have rotting beef in their colon might be a problem psychologically.

i've been a vegetarian for 9 years now and i've dated 4 non-vegetarians and only one vegetarian. it's not really awkward. just because i choose not to eat meat doesn't mean i can force others to do the same. i do wish that we shared it in common, but i don't base our love on that. it's like couples with different political views.

That's an individual decision. I've dated mostly omnis. I've had one l/o vegetarian friend (went veg after we met) and dated one vegan.
I'm not looking to date now, so it's not an issue currently. I do have to admit that it was nice dating a vegan & is definitely preferred now. Not because of the "gross" factor, but it'd be nice to be with someone who shares the same feelings on cruelty & trying to avoid supporting it.

It hasn't been a problem for my boyfriend and I. We have had the discussion about what I think of it, and I don't cook it for him. He will occasionally pick up some meat for himself, but we live in a mostly vegetarian house (mostly because I do the cooking and he is not demanding that every meal have meat in it). We haven't figured out what to do with potential kids yet, but it doesn't stop our relationship. Mostly, I've taken the position that he can eat it if he wants, but I won't be involved in it.

no, but if she acted like one, i would

I'm a guy and a vegetarian. I would date a women who wasn't one, but I wouldn't marry a one.

I'm not a vegetarian but if I really liked someone I would eat only vegetarian things around her.

i enjoy and respect everyones decisions and beliefs (well to a certain point) it might be nicer to date someone who believes similar things but if im drawn to a certain person id give them a chance even if their beliefs clashed with mine.

well first of all im asexual and ovo-veg so no chance of me dating. well if i was straight and they respected my diet choices and ate mostly ovo-vegge meals then i dont mind. o ya and if any kids raie them ovo-veggie. apart from that i dotn mind

i've been a veggie for twelve years now and am married to a non veggie (meat/animal eater). i was attracted to him and am still attracted to him regardless of his dietary preference. although it would be easier for the both of us if we were either both veggies or both meat eaters, we still manage. we cook together and then he adds meat or a meat side dish to whatever he is eating. he actually has been eating alot less meat since we got married and began living together but i know he will never be veggie and i am willing to live with that given all of the other areas that we are compatible in.
love is blind as they say, to many things. although i still remain strong in my vegetarianism, i love my hubby, meat eating and all.

yes I would

i would. wait is he hot? well my aunt married my uncle and he eats meat...

What, you meet a fantastic omnivore, who's good looking, respectful, smart, all the things you're looking for - and you won't date him (or her) because they eat meat once in a while? I just can't see that as being realistic.

I've never dated a vegetarian. Not when I was even a vegan. There aren't that many male vegetarians around, and besides, I'd like to keep my dating options open. I'm not looking to date someone who's identical to me - and I think it shows a lot about a person's character to see how they act towards veggies.

My sister, who's a strict lacto-veg, has a boyfriend who loves steak - but makes her beautiful veggie food and stands up for her when she visits his fisherman relatives.

My SO, who used to be a big meat eater, eats meat at lunchtime, away from me, but only a few times a week for dinner. He won't give me a kiss until he brushes his teeth, and takes me out to vegetarian restaurants he's heard great reviews about.

I think that says a lot about my SO's character, and I'm sure I'd be much less happy if I confined my dating to only veg*ns.

well most people i know are veggies and your right cows used to taste good to me but now i feel very sorry for them poor gentle creatures didnt do anything bad and what is their destiny?? mc donalds i wouldnt date a meat eater im sorry but it will just make me feel weird but then again love has no barriers..sorry i really dont have a straight answer :(

My boyfriend eats meat but it doesn't get in the way of our relationship. He supports my decision and he will try some of the vegetarian foods I make and even likes them but he still likes certain meat products. I don't try to pressure him because I feel you get better results by just showing a positive outlook and personality.

I have never dated a vegetarian. I married (and divorced) a meat eater and am currently involved with a meat eater. All the men in my life have been respectful of my veg*nism and that's all I expect. Because I do most of the cooking, my boyfriend is largely vegan at home and is fine with that. It doesn't make me feel "immoral" or "dirty" because it is THEIR choice for THEIR bodies/souls.

No way. Sorry but if someone eats meat then I would consider that an irreconcilable difference in morals.

I'd bang a carnivore chick for sure,but I wouldn't have a serious relationship with one.

Been there. Done that. Hoping to find a veggie stud soon.

If God didn't want us to eat meat, he wouldn't have made cows taste sooooo GOOOD

I'm a flexetarian and I have scored off of many veggie women. They are so easy it almost brings a tear to my eye. Any that say they wouldn't date an omni are filthy liars.

Catkin is a lesbian, it's not all that sweet.
