I also thing this is a silly, patronising thread which makes you look petty btw.

I am not a vegetarian, my wife is. We have been together for 14yrs. we argue about stuff sometimes, but never about that. The kind of person for whom vegetarianism or non-vegetarianism is a deal-breaker in relationship terms is probably not someone who I'd want to be in a relationship w/anyway, though YMMV, obv.

I don't think I'm particularly preachy - but I am a fussy eater, and always have been, even before I was veggie. But if a bloke is constantly going to be on my case about trying to wind me up or stunt eating with the express point of making a point, then that isn't going to work at all.
But then again, being intolerant of a potential partner's viewpoints (be they the eating of meat, religion, politics, the raising of children, etc. etc.) is NEVER a good sign for a potential relationship anyway.

I'd *much* rather date someone who was into "Real Food" who cared about where his meat came from, who supported Farmers Markets and bought organic meat - than I would a "vegetarian" who lived on Taco Bell and the veggie equivalent of fast food.
Yes, one's interests and beliefs and ethics are important in trying to match up a romantic relationship, but they can be expressed in ways that are not that simple.

Dating a meateater, well, if they've just had a massive steak, I'd make them brush their teeth if they wanted to kiss me. (Same as I'd brush my teeth if I'd just eaten a giant bowl of onions and chillies and was expecting action.)

A preliminary study revealed that participants perceived that meat, particularly red meat, symbolises the endorsement of inequality and hierarchy values more than other basic foods.

yes that is be sweet anytime someone goes out of their way just to do something for you. Like I pay for his subscription to listen to Howard Stern, who I loathe.

this is how the jesuits logically recommended against dating outside the catholic faith: "not every date results in marriage but every marriage begins with a date."
a distinction emerges here between ideologically motivated vegeterianism and more pragmatic vegeterianism. for the former, it's a priori romantic turnoff for the latter probably not.

But then again, maybe this is the ideologically motivated vegeterianism and more pragmatic vegeterianism divide.
It also depends on who cooks, though. In veg/non-veg couples, if it's the cooking one who is veg, then the non-veg partner ends up going veg by default, since tasty meals cooked by someone else always win out. I know men with veg wives who only ever eat meat when they dine out.
I'm trying to think of male veg/female non-veg couples where the man has given up his vegetarianism, and I can't really think of any. (Maybe it tends to be a more ideological decision on their parts, rather than that "ooh, bunnies and cows are fluffy" soft veggie option that results in DUG attitudes towards food that are abandonned with relationships.)

No no, that bit where you decided that Tuomas was claiming "that vegetarianism is confined to the political left" was solid gold.

I do indeed! I don't care what anybody else eats. I would date a veggie, I would date a meat-eater. Thanks for asking!

Medically necessitated RU-486 due to threat of miscarriage/loss of mine own life due to state of health, thanks for asking. Chosing between your own life and that of your unborn child isn't an easy decision. I had to use mine own morality and ethics to solve that one. Lots of others would gladly have removed that option from me.
I've started another thread to discuss the aspects of self and their changeability.

actually, hm, there are people whose meatness is less gross to me than other people's. living with the russian was a nightmare, something in her attitude to it and how she did it (never mind the stuff she ate which was just... gaah) was really sickmaking, but the brazilian i really don't mind. it's like her meat consumption is sort of clean, or something.
