Am I less attractive to women by being a vegatarian?
I flat out refuse to adopt the stereotypical "man's man" American diet of red meat, beer, fried foods, steaks, sugar loaded processed foods, etc. etc. This is not soley for political reasons (PETA, et al.) but also because I'm very health conscious and I do my own research on living healthier and longer.
And for this, I am labeled as some kind of queer by my friends and co-workers. Some women I've dated have not understood this either. I like cooking things like curry, salads, eating whole grains, fresh fruits, etc. Is this so unattractive?
So, my question is, how do I "get back" at all these people who make fun of me? Should I make fun of them for being overweight slobs or is that not alright? Even if they look like fat pigs who have their bellies hanging over their keyboards?
NO not at all. I think it's very attractive because it shows you care about your body and health goes right alongside hygiene. Recently I was sitting in a vegan Indian restaurant in Ann Arbor and close by this guy was talking to this girl. He was absolutely gorgeous. And it is very, Very Rare I find myself attracted to someone. But get this - he was talking about the environment and global warming! I grew up with abusive men and so I felt I was in the presence of a rarity - I even looked at his shoes to see if this kind of man existed. As far as I could tell they weren't leather. He was clean with an edgy side but also obviously cared about his body and the world around him. And to top it off. . .after his meal, he walked into the guitar place next door. Be still my heart lol. He was the sexiest man I've come across at least in recent memory.
Don't you want a woman as compassionate and empathetic as you are? Don't you want a woman who is as health conscious as you are? If so, then who cares two sh*ts about what the women you mention are saying? They're not worth your time because the one who is probably going to be somebody sensitive and caring and health conscious and can put themselves in the place of another, no matter what being they happened to be born as in a matter of circumstance.
I think you're more of a man. I've never liked the too-macho-four-your-own-good type. It's disgusting. You are a man because you don't have to try to prove yourself or do things to "fit" under a certain category. That speaks volumes of you.
And You Can feel good in knowing that they are too lazy to pick up a book and dig into some research. That they take what mommy and daddy told them (which their grandparents told their mommy and daddy and so on) and take it as fact without question. That you look into alternative ideas and such and go with what you know to be healthiest. Good for you. And your "getting back" will come later, when they are having heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, obesity, etc. . .and you most likely will not.
It's not worth your time or energy to be concerned over what they have to say. Laugh it off.
