Meat Eaters Divulge Whether Or Not They'd Ever Date A Vegan Or Vegetarian

To Each Their Own

"If they don’t force me to go on the same diet as them I would date them."- Daisyline27

Not Remotely An Issue

"Date?"

"I married one."

"I still eat meat but enjoy cooking meals we both can eat."- davidfavel

"I've (36 M[ale]) been vegetarian since I was 18."

"My wife (37 F[emale]) is a meat eater in a way that only a south east Asian can be."

"She enthusiastically eats everything."

"We have been together for over a decade and have two children, there have been zero problems."- ndraiay

Date one?"

"Hell I married one, and we're still together more than 30 years later."- LJ_Wanderer

"Yeah."

"I have. Wasn’t much of an issue."- iAmPresidentNixonAMA

Willing To Expand Their Palette

"Sure."

"I do a day or two here and there veg anyway, maybe they can show me some new foods or recipes."- Drew-

"Yea I love me some meat. But the vegan and vegetarian options are good."- mrsnowplow

As Long As There's Respect

"As a vegetarian I would and have dated meat lovers, as long as they don’t make a ton of jokes about slipping meat into my food without me noticing (which has happened) or get super preachy about why i should be eating meat/ why being vegetarian isn’t actually better for the environment (which has also happened)."

"For the record, I never push my beliefs onto anyone I’m dating or expect them to change their diet for me."-FigCompetitive5599

"I don’t see why not, assuming they wouldn’t try to change my diet or something."- MahouShounenKerenKun

"Vegan here for 6 years now."

"I’ve only ever been with meat eaters."

"I would do it again too lol."

"As long as you both aren’t trying to change each other it shouldn’t matter."

"As for eating out/ cooking, people who care for one another are willing to make a few compromises or tweaks to their meals if needed."

"Meaning we can both get something different to eat out, we take turns choosing restaurants ( Not picky I’ll eat anything as long as it falls under my dietary restrictions as for my partners in the past they were always willing to try something new ) and if we’re cooking or if they are we just make some tweaks to make my meal vegan or we’ll both eat vegan."

"My past partners haven’t had any complaints for what it’s worth lol."

"As long as you both have mutual respect for one another you can make it work!."- Lazuli111_

Logical, I Guess?

"If this were the apocalypse and food was scarce, sure I'd probably go my separate way (after trading my partner to scavengers for meat) but in today's normal world where we can both readily buy what we want, who gives a f*ck."- AdmiralBarackAdama

Easy Ways To Work Around It

"Vegetarian married to a meat eater."

'We normally eat veg at home, just because neither of know how to cook meat."- VeeRook

Easy For Meat Eaters, Less So For Vegetarians And Vegans

"I feel like a vegan would have a way harder time tolerating a SO who eats meat considering their typical moral/ethical stances on the livestock industry."- C-Kwentz-0

It's All About Compromise

"I love meat and am happily married to a vegetarian."

"One of our kids loves meat, the other two don’t eat it."

"Sure, we’ve had to compromise at times, but that’s what a relationship is all about."- jalexgray4

One's taste in food is very personal, and no one should ever convince you to change it, particularly if your taste in food stems from even bigger beliefs.

That being said, sometimes love can be strong enough to make you overlook the steaks you'd rather not have in your freezer, or settle for buffalo cauliflower at a Super Bowl party.
