So I got dumped last night because I'm vegan. My ex was a meat eater but I never tried to push my views on him. He called me and was like
" I need a girl I can take hunting and eat what I hunted. I'm sorry. It's just too weird."

WOW! What a jerk. Anyways I though you guys could some what understand and see how stupid and unheartful that stupid hunter really is.

HaHa where are some cute nice vegan boys.

Welcome! You came to the right place. We have wonderful guys here. Of course I am the matchmaker and I am partial. I think our men are intelligent, kind, beautiful on the inside (I haven't personally met any of them, so I can't tell you about the outside.), and delightfully funny. Now, in order for this to go forward, we need to know a little about you. Actually, we need to know a lot about you. So just make believe you are at the interview of your life, and tell us what you feel is important to you.

Nothin' like stepping into a room and being sat in the hot seat, is there?

I'm sorry you had to get dumped, and just because for being vegan, :hug: but it's probably all for the best. You deserve somebody who will respect you not only for your chosen diet/lifestyle, but for everything about you.

Since you live in Michigan. I suggest you do a little research to see what kinds of veg*an groups there are in Michigan, and if so, start attending their events. If there are no groups near you, maybe you can start one. If there are any groups, but no events, get involved and plan something! You might get lucky and meet that special somebody who shares your values. :deal:

His loss, your gain. Hope you feel better soon.

What an idiot. Definitely sounds like baggage better off lost! Welcome to the baords.

Was this like your first date or something?

Was this like your first date or something?Someone leaving you on a first date is your "ex"?

In desperate times.... (JK! I am not dissing you, OP!)

I think our men are intelligent, kind, beautiful on the inside (I haven't personally met any of them, so I can't tell you about the outside.), and delightfully funny.

I second this thought!!

I HAVE met a "VB Man" and I agree with L2K 110%, he's DEFINITELY all of the above!!!

I had that happen a while back myself. My ex told me that I wasn't a real Christian if I was vegan. He just used that as a cop out. He told me that I was going to end up being an atheist? :lol: Yeah right. Veganism=atheist? Whatever.

Sweetie, when one door closes, another opens. There are plenty of men that would love a woman like you. Hang in there. :hug:

ETA: I just read that he hunts. Forget him! You're better off not dating a serial killer.

Someone leaving you on a first date is your "ex"?
Oh, yeah... I didn't catch that. Seems odd they would bring this up late into a relationship. It's not like it's a surprise, or it just dawned on him that his girlfriend won't be his hunting buddy. I could see deciding not getting involved with someone if you found out something about them on the first date that you couldn't live with, but if you've dated someone for a while it makes it sound like you're just trying to make up an excuse to get out of the relationship. Psh.

How many meater women are their menfolk's hunting buddies anyway? I was under the impression that was a pretty testosterone-laden activity. I know many many female meaters, but not one female hunter. Conclusion: That was just a BS excuse to cover the fact that he doesn't know how to relate to your veganism and doesn't want to try. Did you just spring this on him, or did he take a realy long time to decide he couldn't hack it?

BTW, hi! :hi:

They're a bunch of softies! :love:

They're a bunch of softies!
Not true, our equipment works perfectly. :p

To the OP: He sounds immature and not very understanding. Someone that doesn't make for a good relationship. I'd say it is his loss.

His loss, your gain. Hope you feel better soon.
What she said, Erin, what she said. :yes:

:blush: I hear that froggythefrog guy isn't too bad either ;)

Not being cruel to one's fellow creatures is anti-Christian? I'd refer him to the Sermon on the Mount.

Wow everyone is so nice. Thanks so much for all the support. It makes reading all your comments worth my time! And you guys are all right I am better off and why would I date a hunter either. I love animals I dont want to see them dead! Thanks everyone all so much!!!!!!!!

:hi: Erin :) He sounds like a chump. My bf is omni and we've been together for 4 years. It *can* work and if someone uses veg*s as an excuse...it's just a cop out. Stay strong!


-another Erin :D

Yeah I know it was sort of a cop out too. But He has known since we started dating. It wasnt this huge big secret. We were together for a little over a year. So I don't know. Whatever his lost not mine! Plus if I'm going to college next year in a different state and he is back in Michigan it would suck. So better to cut the strings now than later.

-xox erin xox

Wow sorry to hear this--and that it happened to you--this guy sounds like a real jerk--his loss your gain...

my fiancee is a meat eater--and he is very supportive--so it does work if the two people support each others views opinions and choices....

good luck finding that special guy:pibo:

peace and love

Send Life2K a pm and ask her to start up the matchmaking thread again! TNS and Froggy are a very happy VB couple! Also, vegweb has an excellent dating service. I think you have to pay for it, but it may be well worth the money.

You'll find the right guy one day. In the mean time, take time to decide what you want in a man, and enjoy being single.

ETA: So sorry about your mom. My mom started radiation Friday for vaginal cancer. If you need to vent, my PM is always open. :hug:

I think you have to pay for it, but it may be well worth the money.
One problem that all of the veg personals sites seem to have is a lack of critical mass - the same half-dozen local people on all of them, five of which are involved but haven't taken down their profiles.

That sucks! There are tons of men out there who will love you for you. Any man who is going to put conditions on you, like hunting aren't worth the time of day.
