Posted: 5/27/2008 8:55:15 AM | | It's hard dating, especially if you are not finding compatible dates :). Harder still if you have strict criteria outside of the social norm. For example, as a vegan, i'd only date other vegans. So, my question is, do any of you find yourself in a ("strange") demographic as well? And if so, what is it? | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:07:12 AM | | Out of curiosity, why would you only date other vegans? It seems to me that you are purposely hurting yourself with that choice. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:12:46 AM | ok, i'll bite and help ya out.
with me its like this, by the time i weed out the body size, tattoes, piercings, and lack of compatability and attitudes, and singles with families still at home, and girls that don't make out with critters or sleep with them,there is not awhole lot left to choose from.
Its really pretty hard to find the right fit.

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:12:48 AM | Yes. I only date employed, solvent, middle-aged single men with more than two braincells to rub together who don't have a history of mental illness or alcohol abuse.
They are very rare apparently. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:16:28 AM | Hi there
I can see where it would be harder for you to find someone to date. I myself dont think I am in any strange demographis but I know what I want and dont want. So although i know it must be hard for you I say stick to your guns about only dating vegans although if you find someone you are truely into dont give up on them because they dont follow the vegan lifestyle. I know that sounds wishy washy but I hope you get what I mean. I say for this site try to find other vegans but if you happen to meet someone in the real world that rocks it for you give yourself the option to get to know them. I have had friends that were very happy together even though one was vegan and one was not. They had adjustments to make, like seperate cooking pans and what someone just could not stand to be around at all, but they make it work. I sure you have thought of this but have you tried to meet women in health food stores that cater to vegans? Just a thought. Anyway I hope you find that special someone. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:24:14 AM | They must be breathing.....yep absolutely must......
Curious why you wouldnt date someone that was not a vegan. Are you so turned off by even looking at meat on a plate even though you wouldnt eat it.? I was a vegetarian for many years the rest of the family was not. It worked. My niece is a vegan as well as her children,,,,,,,,,,her husband is not. It works. Not to say you shouldnt have what you want. Just curious.
I do realize that vegans use no animal products even in clothing or any area of their life. So yes I imagine it would be the ideal......but it does work in some sitiuations if one is and the other is not | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:27:04 AM | We all have our preferences. Some people only want to date others that "love god", or don't smoke, or don't drink....etc. Nothing wrong with that....it just limits your choices but in that way you will find someone who you are compatable with. The key word here is "weird".....you might get some very kinky answers with that stipulation! I have encountered some strange men with strange sexual desires......I'm not even going to go there......
Personally, I just want the normal stuff..... someone who will drink (in moderation), doesn't smoke, isn't religious, is tall, is looking for a relationship (not just sex), and isn't a vegan (I love a great steak!...just the carnivore in me!)
Geeez, I really am limiting myself ....but its what I like and want.....wish I could find the right combination........

No, that's just silly, all though it is much more intelligent than what I usually read in the forums. A Vegan is obviously a being from the star system of Vega, which is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus. I imagine it is very hard to find other Vegans here on Earth, though not much harder than meeting a sane woman (or man, I guess). | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:56:45 AM | As for OP's preference to date only Vegans...it would appear that, for him, it's more of the ideology of the whole thing more so than if it would work or not....just a thought, only he can tell us for sure the whys or the why not's.
I would have to agree that there are some dating demographics that are tougher than others.... or maybe I should say dating geographics ..... I found myself in one such.  | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 10:00:54 AM | Oh leave the OP alone. I for one and very glad that he has his standards. I wish that all vegans would only date other vegans. That makes lives for the rest of us so much easier.
It's hard enough to meet people with very specific eating requirements. Which is no big deal really compared to vegans.
So, more power to him and other vegans. There should be a Vegan section so they can all find one another.

Posted: 5/27/2008 10:09:58 AM | Yes,, I also seem to be in a quagmire when it comes to dating..
I would like a woman that looks like a girl and has an honest heart..
She must love goodness but be a little on the bad side too. " If ya git my drift."
She must love camping, music,sex and togetherness.
A sense of adventure is a plus as is having an open mind..
She must be completely sane and have full control of herself..
No room for jealousy or hateful, hurtful things..
She must be willing to work toward a common goal and not just the goals that only she has.
She must be able and willing to communicate at all times with total honesty without trying to be the only one allowed to put forth an opinion..
She must be able to listen as well as understand the english language..
As you can see.. THIS IS A TALL ORDER TO FILL...
Good luck to all of you..  | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 10:14:38 AM | | Ahh, vegetarian. Never seen it abbreviated to the vegan term before. I'm obviously not one of them. I like meat and chicken too much. I know someone who is vegetarian, but still eats fish. What's the deal with that? Fish are people too you know!! | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 10:31:39 AM | Vegetarians are not Vegans.
Vegans are hard core. They do not eat animals or animal by-products such as milk or use anything made from animals such as leather.
It's not to weird, I've known a couple of them. But it did make planning a meal out kind of awkward. It would be worse now with the newer car (leather seats).
My weird dating demographic: I want some one who is attracted to me. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 10:33:01 AM | Vegan is at the extreme end of the vegetarian spectrum.....so they are way more strict than others concerning diet, etc.
Anytime you limit your partners to those of an extreme viewpoint, you narrow the available circle. I'm a lacto-ovo veggie myself.....but I don't project my values on others.
Anything in moderration is cool with me!  | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 10:35:20 AM | | Vegans are vegetarians to the nth power. They not only don't eat meat, they don't eat or wear or use any animal products. No milk, no butter, no eggs, no cheese, no leather, no nada if it comes from a animal, fish or living being of any sort. I believe this is an acurate description... perhaps the OP will give us his definition of what it means to him. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 11:27:16 AM | It is too bad OP, that you would never consider dating others outside of vegans. I have been with my S/O,
who is a vegetarian (edit: eats fish, but no eggs), for almost 3 years. You are making life much harder for
yourself, with such an inflexible attitude. But if the idea is that repulsive to you, I guess you can't really
help it. However, I do know of a free dating site, for vegetarians & vegans. I can't list website addresses
here, so I'll try & email you.

I am disabled & since almost every guy on here (at least locally), is some kind of sports or activity enthusiast,
meeting compatible people has been a problem in the past. Also, I have a lot of allergies, which can be some-
what awkward & difficult to deal with, for some people. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 12:12:46 PM | hey all, thanks for the responses.
I had hoped that this wouldn't become a vegan thread -- i was hoping to hear more about other weird demographics -- closest reply was a the one saying there were 50 available, but all the wrong gender. Wondering what demographic that is.
As far as pushing my views on a partner, no, i would never do that either -- that's particularly why i'd only date someone i'm compatible with -- for me, i know that means vegan. Why? Logistically, I don't want to be around meat. Yes, I'm "strict" about it -- not liking it anywhere around me, not in sight nor smell nor contact. Ethically, I believe killing is cruel, unless it's between 2 consenting adults. So, it's hard for me to be with someone who i'm so ethically opposed to. If your interested in my take on the compatibility of vegans and non-vegans in the bedroom, i just replied to a post in detail -- the title is something about "is it ok for vegans to swallow" -- search for "vegan" if you want, but i won't reiterate here.
Further, just look at many of the responses here. There's a gang mentality at work for some replying -- making jokes about me being a rabit from another planet. Why would i want that in my life? I don't want to be tolerated; I'd want to be with some one who understands and endorses my ethics.
Since some of you asked, personally my reasons for being vegan are both for health and ethics.
Again, though, i *really* didn't want to make this a vegan thread, nor was i fielding for advice on how to find a vegan partner. I wasn't looking for advice to return to the '70s.
Enjoy | |
