I feel like a different species!

wtf? aaah ok am i insane or am i the only vegan that feels like.. seperated from people who eat meat in a really weird way?
Like I wouldn't date the "perfect" girl for me if she ate meat.
edit: i think there was a funny nme md up for that.. vegansexual or something lmao

 

I would probably just not go for either of them =x

 

Its the hunted or hunter mentality.

You feel like prey.

Natural. But humans have the ability to rise above it. Do so.

I think it may have to do with the way other people see you or vegans generally speaking. Eating is an activity which is often an opportunity for social interaction, if you go to a dinner, for instance, with other people who are not (all) vegans or even vegetarians, they may find you strange because you are different from them... some may laugh... just as in the case of any other differences among people... Some people can be very open-minded, or civilized, and simply respect your own choices because they understand that not all people are the same.

 

For me, often its nothing to do with the food but the fact that "the majority" appear to have such a different philosphy and mindset and food is just one exmaple of how this comes about in day to day living. Its only natural with these images of such a different viewpoint and lifestyle being splashed about wherever you turn. I understand. It can get better with time

 

I never really notice. I'm asocial and avoid going out with people anyway. So, maybe that's why I neither notice or particularly care what others eat/how they view me.

My partner eats meat, but I never gave it a second thought. Just doesn't bother me.

 

i wouldnt discount a person just because you share different beliefs. i have influenced several people to change their diet or recycle, or care more about sustainability. and not by "preaching" but by simply being a light and being able to give educated responses to questions. there was a time when i didn't really chill with anyone who didn't share my views. i didn't affect nearly as many people.

 

idk, well I made out with a girl and I tasted beef and after that I said no more and I really don't plan on it.. Idk it sucks, but I don't want to date someone and watch them kill shit every day and then kiss me.
I think im better off with my own kind <.<
and I do hang out with alot of meat eaters but I can't see dating one.

 

"well I made out with a girl and I tasted beef"

you tasted beef! you are great! that must have been traumatic. seriously. i cant date smokers for the same reason. you have helped me to see this differently. thank you.

 

Who you fall for is not a rational decision, is it? I just love my girlfriend and not so any less because she eats meat. (Though she does eat less meat now and usually not in my company.) I don't kiss her right after she has eaten meat because - same as with smoking - I find the taste and smell repulsive. She understands and is fine with it. Everything else is her choice. I prefer to be with people who are themselves and not a copy of me.

 

well ontop of the corpse thng, I don't wanna date a murderer, and i'd rather not even date someone who eats dairy.

 

i Recently had to take a survey, about diversity, I told someone I was vegetarian, my family was considered diverse for that...I thought that to be strange.....

 

killer, murderer, slayer, life ender, TERMINATOR! it's all the same to me I know people don't consider it murder because their hypocritic by nature of the parasite = p but I do.

 

I wouldn't bother trying to argue with this type of person...

As for me, I'm a vegetarian, but I have no problems with dating people who aren't. To be honest, I think my only reason for staying one at this point is habit. Not that I don't have a problem with the way the animals are killed, but I think that ideologically, I'm probably in a zone of overlap with a lot of meat-eaters. By which I mean, I'm just barely to one side of the fence. I can still talk to someone on the other side.

 

Really? What about the millions locusts and varmits and other insects that get killed every year by combines that harvest fruits and vegetables so as to meet the global demand for these things? You never see picketing for them do you ? Let's not forget pesticides. So even if you are vegan or veg by definition , you still get plenty of meat in you diet that you don't know about. And if you (not specifically you) want to get into morals , killing plants is worse since that's our oxygen source.

After all , we started out eating meat before the agricultural revolution and domestication of animals. Other animals eat other animals , we are animals.
