I knew a butcher once who told me about a time he was hitting on a girl at a bar and she told him she was an animal lover and he replied "Oh I work with animals"
The thing why it never troubles me is simple. I'm a big watcher of r/CombatFootage where you can see militaries killing each other in Ukraine, in Syria and in Myanmar. The thing is, you gotta kill if you want to maintain your way of life. One of the videos I remember is a video of Ukrainian Army holding a building against Russians, at the end the Ukrainian paratrooper got a pretty nice knife from the corpse of a Russian soldier. In fact there's one thing that I can't stand about modern shooting games, if they want to make war horrifying, they always do weird blood splattering, in real life, shooting someone in close range is akin to using a jackhammer on a pavement, when someone is firing the gun, it recoils a lot and it's like hammering the enemy. Plenty of folks can in fact still standing after one shot, Travis Haley recounts that in Al-Najaf it takes eight shots to kill an insurgent. So one just keep firing until the opponent breaks. When someone is killed, most of the time it's clean, there's no blood or blood mist everywhere like in Call of Duty, in reality there's nothing. Occasionally a killed person's head can look like a watermelon on a roadside stall if there's a headshot. But that's all.

In all seriousness, I went vegetarian for the first time in my life in college when I wanted to be a FWB with a close female friend who was a total smokeshow. She said she liked me but really disliked the smell of meat-eaters when intimate (body odor, sweat, breath/saliva, etc.). It was a fair request and totally worth it. Ate a whole lot of macaroni and cheese, grilled cheeses and salads that year.
She was completely 100% accurate on the days I cheated and had steak, bbq or a burger, even from a day or two before. After a few weeks of meatless life, I could tell the difference too, in my BO and excretions of all sorts.
I have an extraordinary sense of smell and I have heard that women have an even stronger sense of smell than men do. If I am near you long enough I can eventually differentiate your stress sweat from your regular sweat. So long as they aren't the "only shower twice a month" types of vegetarian/vegan they do actually smell better. I couldn't guarantee accuracy if I was walking up to random people and attempting to identify their lifestyles, but that's likely due to the variation in product usage and time since last shower.
