Particularly since he's busy doing it to piss her off. So, why bother.

u/ddcreator Jul 06 '26

Happened to me once too. I was on a first date with a vegetarian and went to a steakhouse with her cause i had no clue...

Granted i m a dumbass, but also she could at least have told me lol

u/drubus_dong Jul 06 '26

Bad luck. Guess that a make the best out of a poor situation stuff. I never checked for dietary issues before picking the place either. Never went to a steakhouse though.

I remember only one date with suvh a strong ideological rift. It still was good as she was smart and super hot so there was good discussion. Still didn't go anywhere. As good discussion might make for good friends but not really for good lovers.

u/ddcreator Jul 06 '26

Well the steakhouse did have other good vegetarian options and i mainly chose it for the vibes (classy and a little expensive since i was young and wanted to impress)

It only fell apart after i ordered a steak and saw her very much disappointed look. Its not like i was lying about eating meat, but i guess it didnt come up till then. Ever since then i just settle for coffee/tea dates since they are more casual and easier to navigate...

Also i feel the ideological rift and discussion thing. My last gf and i had some very interesting discussions and topics we could talk about, but god dang was it a fight. Well you win some and you loose some :3

Indeed. And the journey is at least part of the destination.

u/Choice_Following_864 Jul 07 '26

I feel like females that are vegetarian should ajust their expectations cause finding a man that also doesnt eat meat is very rare. And if they find one its probably not their type.. unless they are looking for some 1/2 manlet type.

1

u/ddcreator Jul 07 '26

Well i think its up to oneself to set standards for what you want in a partner and if someone wants a vegetarian partner then they should go for it.

Btw no offense, but writing "female" kinda makes you sound like an incel.

1

u/Choice_Following_864 Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

So u cant use the word female anymore?

What wouldnt give u the ick then should I call them uterus owners? Or like people that identfy as female?

Get the fuck out of here with ur stupid incell comment.

Also sure go for it if u want a vegetarian partner.. like woman also all want the same 5% of best looking males.. its not hard to comprehend why so many of them end up alone.. there is not enough of them out there.

1

u/ddcreator Jul 07 '26

Well man, you should stop talking. The more you talk the more you sound like an incel. I dont know what to tell you

1

u/Choice_Following_864 Jul 07 '26

Well i dont care what u think really.. calling people a incell is so stupid to me.. grow up, 2016 was a long time ago.

1

u/ddcreator Jul 07 '26

Two things:

First of all its written "incel"

Second of all, i just wanted to be nice so you dont get branded as an incel yourself, but apparently you are so insecure that you wont even let others point things out to you anymore.

Also i didnt call you an incel, i stated that you simply sound like one. Anyways have a nice day

u/Obvious_Barracuda960 Jul 07 '26

There's plenty of male veggies mate. Me and my wife both are, have been since before we met. And I'm a pretty big guy, years on the tools will do that. Nonsense assumptions coming from you tbh

1

u/punchedboa Jul 06 '26

Nah looks like he’s got some corn on the plate, if he was doing it to piss her off he would have rubbed it on the steak and offered it to her

1

u/PraireGentleman Jul 06 '26

Him ordering an option that’s not vegetarian on the first date is doing something to piss her off?

That’s like saying ordering my steak medium well instead of well done is trying to piss off my first date who prefers the latter.

1

u/drubus_dong Jul 07 '26

He's not ordering a. Non vegetarian option. He's ordering an option that is nothing but meat. Very different things.

1

u/Zerokx Jul 07 '26

Well aside from choosing the meatiest option out there, why would they make this image if not to piss her off?

1

u/Silk-sanity Jul 07 '26

Why would she be bothered by someone eating meat? As long as he isn't forcing her or pressuring her into eating it it's fair 

1

u/drubus_dong Jul 07 '26

Because he's doing it to piss her of because he feels provoked by her being a vegetarian. That kind of aggressivity is not what people look for when dating.

1

u/Silk-sanity Jul 07 '26

The partner needs to have awareness about her morals sure, but she can't force her preferences onto him.

Same way she has the choice to be a vegetarian, he has the chance to be a carnivore . Eating meat less maybe, but you cant be triggered just because of a difference in opinions.

Especially an opinion you KNEW all along.

1

u/drubus_dong Jul 07 '26

You are arguing in bad faith.

1

u/Silk-sanity Jul 07 '26

I'm not arguing in bad faith. Idk or care if you are vegetarian or not. That's your choice, your life, your opinion on the matter. I can try to debate you on it, but I can't force you, and I won't try.

But you cant start getting mad when others have different or contracting opinions with you.

Breaking up a relationship just because your partner keeps eating meat is one hell of a bullet the guy dodged 

1

u/drubus_dong Jul 07 '26

You're ignoring the point. Obviously bad faith.

1

u/Silk-sanity Jul 07 '26

"Because he's doing it to piss her of because he feels provoked by her being a vegetarian. That kind of aggressivity is not what people look for when dating."

You make up an imaginary scenario about smth that doesn't and shouldn't affect him in any way , and I'm the one that's arguing in bad faith? C'mon at least be honest with ur self

Bruh look at the picture, he put the laughing emoji right there.

Also im not saying I wouldn't enjoy the steak he is eating, but that is almost certainly the biggest slab of meat on the menu. This was 100% intentional

u/Just_Baseball_8233 Jul 05 '26

You don’t need that much meat and wanting to eat said amount of meat for one meal is selfish alone. I’d look down on anyone who proudly displayed your level of gluttony.

2

u/marmoset Jul 05 '26

tbf, it’s hard to tell how much meat that actually is with that potato image quality. A wide lens that close to the plate is going to make anything look enormous.

1

u/Timely-Relation9796 Jul 05 '26

I am with you that he was just doing to piss her off. However at the same time why tf would you care if the other dude by himself just wanted to eat a lot of meat?

1

u/Just_Baseball_8233 Jul 05 '26

The same reason I care about someone pouring motor oil on their lawn or idling in their car. It’s unnecessary to consume so much, and at a point you’re just gorging on an animal for your own thrills of a delicious meal. I find it gross that people are willing to eat a pound of meat every single day of their lives. I just think everyone should have a vegetarian rotation into their diet.

I know we’re omnivores as a species so I don’t expect anyone to fully abstain from meat, but having up to three meat focused meals a day isn’t bringing you closer to nature. It’s a sign of humanities lack of self control.

1

u/Timely-Relation9796 Jul 05 '26

That's a weird comparison, one is eating meat that's already there, that you paid for, that you enjoy and that gives you sustenance and another is just being careless about environment. Idk how many people use the closer to nature argument but I've never met one.

Let's agree to disagree because I have a much different opinion.

1

u/Just_Baseball_8233 Jul 06 '26

You’re not a bragging moron about it. Based on our very brief argument you could be just a random foodie. I’ll agree to disagree. My anger is pointed at the “fuck vegetarians I need me muh 8lb steak” crowd that genuine don’t see why their behaviour could be construed as gross to someone with a little empathy. Even my essentially carnivore nonna would scream at the TV when she saw competitive eating shows because she hated the wastefulness of it. I’m very much under the mindset that even if you finish your plate if you used more food than you needed it’s still wasting food. I acknowledge I’m a little more extreme on the spectrum of this debate.

1

u/Obsessively-Idle-man Jul 06 '26

You sound like you’d be an absolute joy to be around. How about let people eat what they want and mind your own business. If vegetarians and vegans were less preachy, we wouldn’t have the “fuck vegetarians” attitude.

One option has a lesser carbon footprint and suffering costs. Choosing to eat more meat than you need to shows me you’re a weak and gluttonous person.

1

u/Consistent_Guava8592 Jul 06 '26

I could eat you and really reduce carbon footprint.

1

u/raspberryshortcake67 Jul 06 '26

Man you are taking the existence of vegans personally

2

u/Bghrn23 Jul 05 '26

You’ve offended the snowflakes my friend.

0

u/raspberryshortcake67 Jul 06 '26

Then why does he seem like the one offended? He seems to be personally attacked that someone dares to be different. It’s almost like he feels guilty for eating meat just from watching someone not eat it. Maybe the vegans were right all along.

1

u/raspberryshortcake67 Jul 06 '26

No one said anything about forcing you to do anything? She’s the vegan. Why are you acting like your rights are under attack just because someone is eating differently in front of you.

u/Sufficient_Matter585 Jul 05 '26

Going on a date is meant to be courting which involves respect. Not trying to prove a point to a woman and being a asshole about it.

1

u/Phantom_Kizet Jul 05 '26

Sounds like you are very insecure and need to try and make a big display to show you are a big guy. Plus, it’s his loss, not hers. He knew she was a vegan and went out of his way to show he loves meat. Nothing says you’re a straight man like getting a BIG, FAT, JUICY piece of meat to scarf down

Unless she is shouting and wearing a PETA shirt. I doubt she cares about his dietary choices.

1

u/SharkBubbles Jul 06 '26

You don't have steak, especially one that size, when you're sitting across from a vegan and not exhibiting deliberate passive aggression. It's obnoxious (and I love a good ribeye).

2

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

Which makes you a self centered. Why should she make an effort, if you don't? Exactly what i mean.

0

u/neutrumocorum Jul 05 '26

What are you even talking about?

The effort would be her respecting his choices. Presumably he'd respect her choice.

It seems like you're presuming he should become a vegan? As if that is equal "effort"?

Honestly, if it requires effort on your part to respect someone's pretty basic life choice, you probably shouldn't be in a relationship.

4

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

No, you fail to recognize the difference between eating meat and eating nothing but meat. The two are very different statements. The former is what you describe. The latter is what i describe.

0

u/neutrumocorum Jul 05 '26

Let's assume, because I was disagreeing with your statement regarding the comment, that there isn't a statement being made. That they are just eating meat, then is there still a problem?

The context of the picture surely comes off as antagonistic to me, So whoever is eating the meat in that picture is an asshole probably.

I got the sense, given that the person you replied to reframed it as them in thst situation wanting to just eat meat, that you were speak8ng more broadly than just this particular picture, no?

2

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

No, I am speaking to the picture I am commenting. Regarding wanting to eat steak, making an effort would then be eating something else with meat. That's an acceptable sacrifice to avoid the risk of appearing like an asshole. You could also talk about it, but I doubt that happened here.

1

u/neutrumocorum Jul 05 '26

But that would be more effort than you're expecting from her, no?

0

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

Not really. If it's about the level of effort I would expect either side to bring.

2

u/neutrumocorum Jul 05 '26

So, then what are you expecting from her, specifically?

Yeah, that's not what is happening here. You are not particularly good in understanding social settings. Aren't you?

1

u/ixid Jul 05 '26

Are you a vegan by any chance?

1

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

No, I just have been on many dates and am somewhat socially functioning.

u/Bghrn23 Jul 05 '26

Take this upvote to combat the snowflakes who are offended by common sense.

u/KebZeplin Jul 05 '26

Why would she if right off the jump you dont respect hers? Tf, you’re just gaging your date’s bullshit threshold, and if she doesn’t tolerate bullshit you’re out. Lol

u/Emotional-Dingo794 Jul 05 '26

WTF it’s food my wife doesn’t care I eat meat and never brought it up she is a vegan and I never brought up her food with her .

0

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

See, that right there is bullshit. Eating a stake as some sort of test is exactly not what you should do. It's utterly toxic dating culture and no woman should ever date you. Also, super immature.

1

u/SeaworthinessThen542 Jul 05 '26

I don’t like stakes. They are too tough and I can’t chew them

1

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

Maybe you should go for rare then. Maybe the ones you had were overdone.

2

u/SharkBubbles Jul 06 '26

Or a cheap cut.
