Veggie or Vegan Partners

    I was just wondering (being nosey really), does anyone have a veggie or vegan partner also? Does anyone only exclusively see veggies or vegans?

    I remember when seeing my first boyfriend (I was 16 and veggie 5 years at that point), I was freaked out by the idea of kissing him after he'd eaten meat.

    My girlfriend is a vegan. :eek:

    It's handy if you are both of that persuasion, I wouldn't have constricted myself to just veg*ns though.

    My first serious relationship was a veggie, as was I at the time. My second and current is veggie and I'm vegan now. Am happy that he respects my avoidance of eggs etc. but wouldn't mind if he started liking my oat milk as much as he likes my rice milk ice cream!

    I don't think I would have excluded the possibility of a relationship with a non-veggie, but it was one of things that certainly added to the attraction.

    Good question :)

    Ended up going out with a vegan after we bonded over being the only non-carnivores on a week course, but otherwise dated omnivores. My current bf always cooks veggie if we're eating together, and has learnt what beans to buy me in the market and how to cook tofu. :)

    I've been out with a meat loving vegan, who was incredibly fussy for obvious reasons.
    And then a meateater who was terrified of trying new things and vegetables, so was also a pain in the hole.

    Someone who will eat what I put in front of them, and not complain would be nice. :D

    *shamelessly revives thread*
    My current OH is a meat eater, and its probably a bit weird but I find it quite attractive! there's not a snowballs chance in hell he'll ever give up meat, but that doesn't bother me. He's always been very sensitive to my dietary choices(making me veggie lasagne and the like), so I'm not gonna try and change his!

    I would never go out with a girl who ate meat. Doesn't bother me tho, usually vegetarian girls are much hotter ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    yah, my fella's a veggie, though i'd have no problem with being with a dude who eats meat, as long as he doesnt shove it in my face.

    my OH would eat a whole cow raw, if he got the chance

    and i cook him a lot of raw cow too (by cook i mean wave it at the frying pan for about 30 seconds on eat side)

    My bf was a big meat eater for years but ate my veggie stuff too, then a couple of years ago he turned around and said he wants to be a veggie! Now he feels as strongly as me about it, it's great! Never minded cooking him meat though and would never make him feel bad about it, it's a very personal choice....but nice to know I inspired someone I love so much to be veggie:D

    Hmm my bf is of the opinion that unless its mainly made of meat, it's not a meal!So pretty sure I could never get him to go veggie! It's pretty cool you inspired him like that though! Well done!

    a likely story!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Censorsh!t


    I've never dated a vegetarian or vegan. My first boyfriend tried debating with me a lot on how animals were needed for meat and experiments in order for humans to progress :mad:
    My boyfriend now, is also a meat eater, however he says that he would like to become vegetarian, excpet his parents would freak out. He doesnt mind eating veggie meals at my house, and said that when he moves out, he'll probably become, or try to become a vegetarian, for the most part anyway. I don't mind at all, he loves animals and he tries his best for going to restaurants with a good veggie choice.
    And besides, i know very few vegetarian guys.

    Would Avril Lavigne suit you, sir? :P
    Anne Hathaway?
    Alyssa Milano?

    That's just the celebrities beginning with "A" :D

    Is that not considerably narrowing down the amount of girls you can go out with? I only know two other veggies. So where do you meet all these veggie ladies?

    I don't know a single vegetarian man. Not one. I think having the same prerequisite is a little more difficult for my sex :(. I don't mind going out with a meat eater, as long as they respect my choices as much as I respect theirs.

    Probably depends on your friends. Nearly all my child hood friends are vegetarian now and some have and do go out with each other. I suppose if you restricted yourself to vegetarians in Ireland you woul have to go to vegetarian society meetups or pm hot vegetarian studs on this forum. :D

    Otherwise it's off to india!

    Tread carefully Tar.Aldarion, that almost sounds like an invitation :D

    Away to India it is so! Or I could hang around Govindas all day, actually, that doesn't sound half bad at all. :)

    My gf was a vegetarian long before I became a "learner vegan" myself.

    We see all sorts of people not just vegetarians
