Agree with you, can't stand fanatics of any persuasion, it's plain fucking boring, not to mention repetitive. Joke;How do you tell if someone is Vegan ? Just wait a few minutes they'll tell you all about it !

When I met my ex he was a vegetarian and for about a year so was I.Then we both went back to non - vegetarianism...I am more appalled by poor table manners than people's food choices ..unless it's a full on diet of junk food xxFreya

Till I met him. And he lets me indulge and devour to my heart's content. Oh, I do love my food! LOL You should see me attack a cooked crab 😝 An excellent excuse for me to ask for more sexercise to work it all off to keep my derrière this nice and round 😀 I doubt I would turn someone away because of their diet or food preferences, but moreso because of their bad table manners, eg. Chewing loudly and with mouth open 👎😫 - Posted from rhpmobile

ok i'm getting hungry just reading that post lol.. I'm with you OP.. i love a variety of food, though i'm not so much of a fan of the traditional meat and 3 veg. but i don't mind going out for a steak every now and then. If i was dating someone it would be a bit of a black mark against their name if they didn't have similar likes and dislikes.. but if that was the worst thing, well it is something i could work around.

Quoting 'Meander' He ate his pizza with a knife and fork. With a knife. And a fork. ...I'll do that occasionally at work. If I can, I prefer not to get my hands messy when eating out( I'll rarely order ribs, but I do love them! )...which is why I like chopsticks, they're such a delicate and refined way to eat. So classy. But I'd never do the pizza thing with a knife an fork on a date. I mean...I'd look like a weirdo or something.

I'm not fussed over other peoples tastes in food. Because I cook for a living, I've found many people have very boring tastes...far too many to discount them all as potentials. Besides, it's only tastes in food...which, like clothes or music, can vary greatly without effecting the important stuff about them.I care more about whether they think the same way I do.

Dismissed a partner because of what she ate (possibly discussed things prior and have not actually gone out with anyone extreme). Probably would not mind too much going out with a vegan, as long as there was no pressure on me. I will mostly eat anything (not that sure about monkey brains though, but that sort of thing would be a bit extreme) Love all types and cuisines and will give most things a go (again, except monkey brains and similar, also may include mountain oysters).

I grew up introduced to all sorts so have always eaten anything and give anything a try. As I am planning on living the self sufficient life I frequented several dating sites with like minded individuals. A lot of the women I met were vegan and with some it was a put off, in the sense of their fanaticism and belief that their way was the only way.

I only eat vegetarian food and seafood I cant be picky about picky eaters. I was seeing a guy who had a strict raw food diet. The first time he took me out to a Raw Food restaurant I didn't know what to expect, but the food was delicious, very tasty and inventive. When he came round for dinner I did a big raw food platter, it was easy, I just googled "raw food dinner menu". Good table manners are more important to me than the food a guy orders.

Of course, manners are paramount and very important but that is not the issue. if it is just casual dating. sure i would be ok with that.... I think that would be fun... something different. I may put up with it here and there. I dont have to be with the guy at all times But if I am looking for a permanent relationship, i can not imagine myself eating raw food day in day out. i need to make sure that their diet is not too extremely different from mine if we have to be in each other's life, day in day out. I do eat raw food meals as it is, clean food - salads, dips, etc... but knowing myself, i will go for other cuisines at different times and I would like to share that experience with my partner. It would be very difficult for me to hold a relationship where our palates and food preferences are very different... specially if I have kids who eat so much and are very experimental in their taste as well. It is just one the measures of compatibility for me to select a man for a permanent relationship.

I thought you just meant going on dates. If I loved someone, I would make 2 different dinners. Before I incorporated seafood into my diet I was completely vegetarian, vegan for a short while So I cooked meat dishes for my partner and son and something different for myself. It was easy enough with a little planning ahead. Most restaurants now cater for different diets? If I was in love with someone and he with me, his diet would be a minor inconvenience?

I started seeing this guy. He was spectacular. Smart, funny, sexy as hell. Things started to get serious, but then I found out he liked vegemite. A lot. Like, he ate it every single day. Some differences are just too difficult to overcome. Nah, not really. He still eats it, but just not when I'm around.

Only because I can't have a great deal of lactose and I'm very particular about avoiding white vinegar as it's landed me in hospital once. A friend of mine dated a girl who couldn't eat chips out of a packet (crisps) and bought lots of skittles but not so she could eat them. She would colour coordinate them and put them in jars through her house. I thought she was weird. I was right. They didn't last.

legendary..BUT.. If I am with a lady, I will eat everything she serves me.AND enjoy it..And/or enjoy dishes of HER choice..IF we were spending too much time together, she would need to understand that I need "Time-out" to eat "My stuff"and THAT is an event best exercised when I am alone .There is a lady on here, (I do not her Identity) who will PROBABLY read this, and who knows a beautiful and delightful friend of mine in the "Mundane World" She would certainly be able to verify that BUT.. to answer the question.. sort of... I can stand dining with anyone.. or spending eating time with anyone, PROVIDED they do NOT bawl me out for eating flesh..

"If his reluctance has religious, strong philosophical or health reasoning, then I would understand and am willing to work around it." Why would pickiness be any different to religious reasons? For me, it's going to depend on how much it impacts on the food I end up eating. So that rules out vegans or vegetarians for anything long term - I enjoy all sorts of meat wayyyy to much to limit that. I don't require someone to love raw tuna like I do, or propose a cross country jaunt to eat some horse... but if their relationship to food I enjoy prevented me from enjoying it then it just wouldn't be an enjoyable 'fit' between the two of us. I'm another one where table manners matter, it pains me watching people who can't use cutlery properly. I wouldn't think badly of someone who used a normal fork with cake, but if they used a cake fork I might be turned on - similarly with soup spoon or dinner roll etiquette.

I have been a relationship where HE would get on my nerves about critising my food..it was annoying and as you mentioned can be a hurdle to long term relationship. I am not a foodie myself, aside from some basic stuff, food does not do anything for me - I am the last person to want to go to a fancy restaurant as I hate reading menus I would need to carry a dictionary to translate to English - if I don't understand a menu at the first read then I cannot eat there-, but this guy WAS ALWAYS going on about food choices - how to jazz up this dish..how to jazz up that dish...and I would rather watch paint dry then spend time figuring out which seasoning goes "Best" with this or that dish...every dinner date was a nightmare.. I recently went on a camping trip with a group where one of the members is gluten free because of a medical condition - not because of a fad. Whilst we made sure we purchased everything possible gluten free (e.g dips for sandwiches, wraps etc) and choose restaurants and pubs that served gluten free options, this person just kept on complaining "oh, so your gluten free is salad?" "Oh, so the fish and chips is not gluten free, why not! " "Ah, so this is 4th night when the ONLY gluten free option is fish and chips?!" there is was not a meal where this person was not making a comment about either the fact that "there is not enough gluten free options" or "it is salad-fish and chips again" or "the presentation of the food" blablalalabalaalaa..seriously annoying after a while... so I think OP you are onto something - similarity of food preferences can be the key to a long term relationship. or even short term :) e.g what to eat post play :)

It seems your gluten-free friend is a big pain in the arse as it can get to me too if he constantly goes on about it in any restaurants. Attention seeker he is. It certainly makes for that uncomfortable and awkward moments where the waiters are humiliated for no benefits. So ungraceful. Not classy. I eat healthy most of the time... I have not allergies nor hold no strong religious or philosophical beliefs that would warrant me to limit my diet to anything. I just love food from all countries. When I am watching what I eat, say on a no or low carbs diet and I am out with friends or family, I will just peruse the menu and select an item there that closely matches my diet. I may just have a quiet word with the waiter to omit the croutons or whatever. It is always nice to be polite and graceful about it. I was brought up to be grateful for every meal we have, to savour it. I have a healthy respect for food, good interesting food. And that tradition, I pass on to my children. I can see how open they are to try new cuisines and knowledgeable about food. They introduce new dishes and cuisines to their mates whom would not otherwise experience it at home. Most admit that the food served at home is bland, so coming to dinner to out place is a treat. I would occasionally have big dinners of 8-12 young adults (15-20) of my sons' friends and cook for them. They would invite them to help me in the kitchen to prepare the marinades or simply stir the food. My sons smile as they see their mates discover the "new" ingredients ('Ahhh. Wow. I didnt know tofu and mushrooms could be so tasty!"). They sometimes invite themselves to dinner when they find out what I'm up to in the kitchen. In my travels, and my cultural background, I treat food as the social binder in any gatherings. A new dish here reveals more about the rich history and culture of the people you share your meal with. People are happy when they eat and they normally open up when they are happy. Food is good for the body. Good Food is great for the soul. A win-win situation.

my exhusband was a fussy bugger but only if it was healthy food -his mantra was inspired by Homer J "you don't make friends with salad" hmm so let's just say when the most recent WHO advice regarding processed meats etc cauaibg cancer i nearly contacted my ex to say you may as well start smoking again cause either way cancers getting you - his diet now consists of bacon sandwiches, sausage sandwiches, anything premade and frozen just reheat crap. Let's just say being married to it was like trying to feed a 4 yr at the best of time. And I will never be dictated to by that type of food issue. Allergies and intolerances are a whole other ball game and as I have some of my own might explain (apart from the I'm not cooking different meals for everyone crap) my lack of tolerance for fussiness and at time just plain rudeness and selfishness. So yes I have no interest in dating nor will I apologise for ceasing dating someone with a narrow view on food. I love good food, simple flavours, intense flavours, new flavours old flavours hmmm a bit like I like my sex actually a bit of everything and lots of variety lol - Posted from rhpmobile

I have some uncommon food allergies, so I have to be picky sometimes but it is not to the stage where I would complain or make a comment..I know what food I have to avoid and as long as the menu is in English I can filter it out...but I am not a foodie - food does not excite me at all- so being a relationship with someone who is a foodie and looooooveeesss to try different -and I mean way different!- food just for the fun of it is challenging..gimme "boring" food but in good fresh quality and I will be happy :)

is such a social and sensual thing. If you can't share that, then Lily I agree. I wouldn't pursue anything further. Being of European decent, food is central to all our social interactions. I admit to being a foodie and love dining out and trying new cuisines. I would feel very limited going out with someone who didn't share my foodie passion. That passion extends to many other areas in my life. I would want it to be the same for my partner too. LG

Im a vegan and allergic to wheat and mushies - this impacts on what i eat, but it has also meant i have developed into a killer cook! so often men on social media/dating sites state "NO VEGANS" which has me thinking 2 things, one is that they have maybe had bad experiences with the kind of "special needs" eaters who berate you for your non-vegan choices (im not one of those), or two, they are narrow minded judgey types. If theyre the latter then im more than happy to give em a wide berth. Each to their own... but i will say this - heavy meat eaters definitely have their own *ahem* taste. And its not my favourite ;) ps. and not every vegan lives on salad and is whippet thin. curvey vegan athlete all the way XX - Posted from rhpmobile

I think compatibility applies just as much to 'vanilla' and 'non vanilla' dating sites. What it comes down to is both sharing the same values. Food is a pretty bit chunk of our lives. We can't live without it. I happen to like really nice food. I cook from scratch, and for me variety is the spice of life. A little bit of everything. Although, I admit to trying to stick to Atlantic Salmon at 3-4 times a week, chicken, and steak once a week, and I try to have one day that is vegetarian if I think of it. I love a good curry, and anything with fresh flavours. And, I think I'd try anything once. Don't knock it til you try it is my life motto. Now, I happened upon a Vegan once, who then had all sort of issues including dairy, gluten etc. When I asked him if he'd been to an allergy specialist the answer was, Nooooo - I just know I'm allergic! To top it of he'd decided a decent glass of wine with dinner was poison. And coffee was just banned! No matter how much I liked him, no matter how attracted I was to him, it was just never going to work. Ever. Eventually, once all the hormones die down and you return to planet earth, compatibility is key to a successful relationship. We've all been there and done that. The little red flags go off in our head, like a flashing neon light. We think hmm, I can live with that. I'll manage that quirk, neuroses. I can accept that 'unacceptable' behaviour. The issue with that is that once you start living day to day those little red flags, eventually become crushing, soul destroying and actually look like an emblazoned 24ft roadside advertisement which flashes bright red like the lights of a fire engine..... the text says. "Honey, I gave you all the red flags!. You saw the signs but thought better of it." It's one of the reasons, I refuse to date a smoker. I'm all for choice. Go for it. But smoking indicates to me that A) You have little regard for your health and B) You have little regard for how hard it is to earn money and keep it in the bank. Smoking doesn't sit with my values, so it's never, ever going to work dating or being in a relationship with someone who smokes. Someone on a constant diet of fast food, also points to the same traits. 1) Your health isn't important to you. 2) You don't think you are worth taking care of, and for me - the big red flag is 3) You're just plain lazy and can't be bothered to make the effort or time to cook. It's in the same realm as dating a couch potato, who refuses to move but your day sees you moving from activity to activity like that Energiser Bunny that advertises for the battery that just goes, and goes and goes. It's never going to work for you. Values that are the polar opposite of the another individual's, signals a relationship eventually doomed to failure. You end up both hating and resenting the other person. Better just to not go there in the first place.

I believe that you can tell a lot about people's attitude to sex from their attitude to food. Those who are open to new culinary experiences and willing to try new things tend to have the same approach to sex. In one place I used to live we had a circle of friends who used to eat out somewhere different at least once a month. But there was one guy, no matter where we went, would always try to order steak and chips. If we went to a Japanese restaurant, it was steak and chips. Indian, steak and chips. Vietnamese, steak and chips. I can only guess at how boring, predictable and non-adventurous his sex life was. - Posted from rhpmobile

This is so funny my partner is very picky with his food hates veges were I'm opposite and crave a good salad etc I love all varieties of food except anchovies that shit is just fucked up!! Lol But I tried cooking for him a few times and he had a go but was maybe bit to complex compared to a steak haha I have given up on cooking now so we just make our own dinner or he cooks which is awesome !!! Going from cooking 3 course meals 7 nights a week with my ex to having it so simple and hassle free is awesome!! I think that if you have to much in common your more bound to get bored and stuck in a rut... It's good to challenge each other and you will be surprised the one you least expect is the one for you is actually THE ONE!! 😜 - Posted from rhpmobile

As my hips would tell you. I have no problem accommodating anyone's taste in food. But, as others have said be for, bad table manners, eating only certain foods- and I mean chicken breast for every meal or steak and chips- and bringing up your intolerances every time would be annoying. Having a family member who's a vegan has been enlightening. As a true carnavore I do appreciate some of the diverse recipes I have cooked when they have visited. So in answer to the OPs question, I have no problem with different eating habits but limited eaters and I'll mannered eaters drive me insane.

From my personal experience, I've found being vegetarian and teetotaler is a winning combination for being single. I would go on a few dates and I don't impose my views on them (people are more than their food choices) but they always seem to be a bit self conscious when it comes to food. I think people might get a bit embarrassed if they are having something the other person isn't. However, a few comments about why it wouldn't work out: 1. When I go out with you, I either drink too much or not at all. 2. I cooked you a vegetarian meal so you should cook me a meat dish. 3. Being with you will be a big sacrifice on my part as I'll be giving up meat and alcohol while with you and you're not sacrificing anything. There are a few more but you get the idea.

For a casual thing I wouldn't really care, but in a relationship I don't think I could handle a really picky eater or someone who has a lot of restrictions on what they can eat. I love food and there's not a whole lot I won't eat or wouldn't try. Having said that, last night's dinner was fish and chips and dessert was half a tub of Ben & Jerry's clusterfluff ice cream

I love food. There is almost nothing I wouldn't try at least once, and very little I completely avoid. Except veg emit, but given my other taste preferences I'm starring to think that's more psychological than anything else. I'm completely ok with people having different tastes to me, but I do love sharing good food with someone. The pleasure of "here, try this", and watching them eat from your fork, or your fingers .... Mmmm. However, there are benefits to people not eating certain things too. I don't have to share my Turkish delight at home. You don't like blue cheese? Awesome - more for me! Sometimes not having to share has definite advantages. As long as the person isn't precious or judgmental about what you eat around them, it wouldn't the a deal breaker for me. Having said that though, I do love a man who loves to cook.

Bad manners not to try so I did, with local beer. not bad... crunchy and quite creamy, nutty. an interesting experience... just close your eyes and imagine eating pistachio. The guide was smiling and happy. He told everyone at the office and all were very warm and comfortable with me. Good for East West relations. Lol things we do to expand our horizons... will i eat it again? No, just doesnt do much for me.

I was allergic to shellfish and eggs when I was little. I remember eating prawns and my face blew up like the Goodyear Blimp. so went without it for ages.. My mom, being a nurse reintroduced it to my diet a bit at a time. For over 2 years, she upped the content and little by little i developed a tolerance for seafood. Now i am making up for lost time. she is a clever woman, my mom.

...particularly when visiting new places. The food is one of the tactile parts of the travel experience, I think. In Iceland this year I'd made a point of seeking out whale meat...I'd never eaten an ocean-going mammal before and was most curious. Whilst I don't agree with the hunting of endangered species, I'm also a realist...the Minke is not endangered. It was juicy and similar to beef.I also tried cured horse, fermented greenland shark( like blue cheese ) and various smoked game birds from the local deli.Spitting the buckshot out of my goose sandwich is a tricky meal...I thought I'd chipped a tooth at first.Trying the local beer snacks can be novel too... in a bar in Reykjavik I was handed a little wooden platter with a sharp bread knife and a dried meat sausage. I thought it novel that I was being given a razor sharp knife while drinking...the Safety Police would never go for that here. Fish jerky was common too...spread with butter.In Laos, beer snacks were char-grilled buffalo hide( like jerky ) and picking fresh green tamarinds off a tree then dipping them in a sauce of chilli, sugar and fish sauce. Then on the side, week old fermented pork shavings in banana leaf. Tangy, sweet and salty. Perfect with beerlao...Sharing food and drink is such a social occasion everywhere...I was pleased to find that the tradition of the Sunday Session is not unique to Australia...and that I could never hold someones food tastes against them, no matter how boring or exotic.Whether I'm eating eggplant curries with handfuls of sticky riceballs, delicately tearing grilled fish off a stick with chopsticks( because it's bad form to use my fingers ) or using my hands and pocket knife to cut up a tough old boiler of a rooster and share it around...the eating custom is enjoyed the most when I immerse myself in it and just roll with the moment, I find.Try that chilli or funky smelling fish or meat. Leave my thoughts about refrigeration and safe food handling at the door along with my shoes and give it all a go.

All maters on growing up, since in some traditions people don't even allowed to touch meet, while in some are born in families who loves to eat them. - Posted from rhpmobile

I had my date end because she was Indian, and wouldnt kiss me because I ate beef on my Meatlovers. Thought she was joking, playing. Nah! Palms me off and says I was disrespectful. No one ever told me cows were sacred to them..... Same trouble with a Vegan... don't just order the salad! Tell me you're Vegan! She was not happy at mr chowing down that Steack and Pork Ribs, lol. So I can't see myself with a Vegan, but I'd be more aware of cultural/religious do's and dont's (unless she's denying me to evet eat it again - I ain't giving up my bacon!) - Posted from rhpmobile

Short Reply -----------Food diversity in itself is no deal breaker for us. Long reply------------We are not looking for clones and believe no two person think in same way. However there has to be some common taste. The evaluation of this commonality for us is holistic. Which means it is a combination of differences not one difference rules in or rules out a person. However even one serious difference can result in NO but we rarely judge that one difference means there are likely to be other differences too. Each difference is own its own merit.

...you were doing so well then...why did you stop?! ; ) Chopsticks are the first step into a new world of eating. The skill needed to pilot them drives you to find trickier foods. You could've been picking up rice by the grain by now...😆

No one ever told me cows were sacred to them..... bleh, I'm fine with someone saying they won't kiss you because you ate meat, licorice, peanuts or whatever - but I just don't like this notion that you're being disrespectful to them by eating meat in a neutral setting.

Hi! Lily orchid.Honestly the Food choices of someone I'm meeting ,getting to know ,isn't high on My List for a couple of reasons.I seek a Connection on all Levels with a Guy. Therefore that's what I focus on when choosing someone who peaks my Interest enough to go further Variety is a Personal choice, we all have them. If the Guy is strict about his Dietary Habits it will probably end there, because he wouldn't be interested in being flexible. I understand and respect his Life choice...if it goes past a 1st meeting ,we have a Connection that I require and we continue to nurture a Friendship socially , then we choose an eating Place that offers both cuisine preferences .I'm pretty flexible in trying new things in that area, or eat apart catch up after he! he!Enjoy Lu:)

Think the only line I would draw would be kissing a drinker of smoky / peaty whiskey. Unfortunately, that stuff makes me want to vomit. All the vegans I know wouldn't date a omnivore, I'd be interested to know if holds in a broader experience. Lots of friends and family have different and varying degrees of intolerances / allergies, so I don't have a problem with funny food habits and it definitely wouldn't be a deal breaker for me (well apart from peaty whiskey- gag).

This is limiting to me and being a foodie, i could not see myself confined to his life choices. I made my mind not to continue dating him as I love my variety of food too much. I can not see a long term future as we are on the polars apart in our views in culinary appreciation. Being tactile, food is another form that appeals to my senses. Food to me is not just nourishing but should be an adventure of the culinary kind. MY life choice.

I checked the food I had this week and the variety, either eating out or homecooked (most of the time) is astounding. I have my boys the last 2 weeks and they encourage me to prepare different meals from different cuisines everynight. We consult each other on what they want to have so I can prepare the menu for the week and shop for fresh ingredients at the market. Chilli Con carne (Texan recipe) Tuesspaghetti napoli sauce with garlic and bacon and capersVietname soup (beef pho)Spicy marinated lemon grass pork chop served with Thai carrot salad and Jasmine riceChicken madras curry with jasminecombination stirfried meat and vegies on crispy egg noodle basket (like a bird's nest)roast pork with rosemary and garlic served with grilled zuchini pumpkin and carrots with reduced wine gravy wow

Lily. Hun I agree totally, Food is a Sensual Tactile even Erotic Adventure for me too I love the taste textures smells etc. I had a 1st meet with a Guy who had strict ideas of what foods he was into. That's where our Contact finished, for the same reason you said. This Guy for some reason slipped through My Phone Chat to decide to meet or not and it didn't come up until he was here in Person.. However I wished him well and did appreciate his Honesty and Life choice. Enjoy your Adventures with more appealing Partners :) Lu

I don't see it being an issue until they try and force their way of eating onto others. Eg: vegans pushing the vegan diet. My ex was a vegetarian and tried to stop me from eating meat... now I LOVE my meat! I love my steak to be rare and juicy! So this didn't sit well with me at all. I am also into exotic food and will try anything once! Esgago (spelling?) Is my favourite! The look on his face on our date when I ordered the most exotic meal I could find on the menu was laughable. Bad table manners is my biggest turn off.. If you cannot chew with your damn mouth closed I am walking out ;) thankfully my current partner isn't a slob and he loves his meat just as much as I do ;) So in a nutshell i wouldn't date a vegetarian or vegan, especially if they are the pushy kind that feel it is necessary to force you to change to suit them. As for being set in their eating ways, I agree. How boring.. just imagine how boring they could be in the bed if they can't even be experimental with their food! Tam xx - Posted from rhpmobile
