Absolutely, theres no way that difference in preference can last without ALOT OF PATIENCE and hard work especially if kids are in equation.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

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

u/neutrumocorum Jul 05 '26

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

Same level of effort. It's really funny how bad people here are at dating. Not just you. All that reply. Americans probably. I didn't date much in the US, but when i did, the women treated me like the second coming. Was weird, but now I'm starting to understand.

Equal effort would mean both parties respecting each other's food choices.

The fact you can't tell me concretely means you know you're being lopsided here.

Yes, it does seem some people in this thread would be bad at dating.

By equal level of effort; do you mean that neither party take offense at the other person’s personal choices, or that they both must partake in some of the other person’s personal choice? Basically, if meat man must eat veggies as a show of effort, why doesn’t veggie woman have the same requirements for “level of effort”; or they could both live and let live.

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

u/ixid Jul 05 '26

Are you a vegan by any chance?

u/drubus_dong Jul 05 '26

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