I always wondered why almost no vegan men were ever interested in me, I hung around in the right circles, in lots of veggie/vegan/AR groups, but the " vegan men are wimps " thing definitely strikes a chord with me (apologies to those vegan men who are not wimps). I still wouldn't have ever been tempted into going down the road of " sleeping with the enemy " , even if I had the chance, I had resolved that I could not go out with meat-eaters, but I did get disheartened when I asked a few vegan men (seemingly fairly compatible AR types and around my age, early twenties), out at different times, and got rejected most times. It was a bit humiliating, because I know at least one mocked me for asking him out, I think I asked him out more than once too, how's that for being a glutton for punishment? But I guess many men have to contend with that sort of cruel humiliation even more than I had to, not that I ever mocked anyone who asked me out. I wonder if maybe those vegan men didn't like women asking them out, it unnerved them I think, they felt it was up to them to do the asking (I don't believe that), what do you think? I'm pretty sure I wasn't completely hideous, a few years ago anyway. I wasn't even always fat! It still bothers me even years after being married the sheer number of times I was rejected by vegan men, mocked even, I know it shouldn't bother me now, but somehow it does.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 I don't think vegan men are wimps at all, just loko at them at the animal rights demos. Just like you we are faced with a neverending succession of opportunites to stand up for our beliefs, often in the face of ridicule. I certainly wouldn't fear being approached by the right woman, but the game of starting a relationship usually is played by two anyways.. in my case the woman has to flirt, pay me attention or give me some other cues to let me know it's worth the risk of popping the question.

No, I don't think most are wimps. I was so cross with a veggie woman a few years ago, who was married to a meat-eater, because when I expressed surprise that she had married someone ethically incompatible since she used to be involved in running Young Vegetarians and got to meet plenty of veggie and vegan men, her response was that veggie men were boring. I told her I thought she was wrong, and besides boring is better than unethical and lacking in compassion, so there was me still taking the side of veggie/vegan men, even after a number of quite unkind rejections from such men! Loyalty to veg*ns, I guess. Now if she had said none of them were interested in her, I could have related to that. But boring, no way! > > I certainly wouldn't fear being approached by the right woman, but the game of starting a relationship usually is played by two anyways.. in my case the woman has to flirt, pay me attention or give me some other cues to let me know it's worth the risk of popping the question. > Believe me I did that once or twice in my younger days, I think I was just unlucky liking someone who couldn't take the hint, at least a couple of times. Or maybe I was just not very good at all that. Maybe I was a little gauche. Doesn't matter now, but it bothered me at the time. I never quite worked out why I thought I was doing the right things and getting the wrong responses.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Lesley just so you know I wasn't offended by your comment and I doubt anybody else was either. I assumed it was meant a bit tongue-in-cheek, however just in case there were any misunderstandings I thought it best I stand up for the vegan male to prevent the veganesses from 'defecting' and getting carnivore b/f's. Perhaps the reason many female vegans end up with carni's while male vegans wait for veganesses is that the male tends to do the asking out? If I had attractive female carnivores asking me out I think it's possible sooner or later I'd cave in (with the best intentions of converting them of course) :-) Good to see you and Paul last night.
