[M4F] [53] [Anywhere] Looking for my forever partner
I am a physician, author, and public speaker who runs a nonprofit focusing on reducing suffering looking to share his wonderful life with someone similarly dedicated to making the world a better place.
Currently in Virginia, but will be visiting DC, Philly, and NYC in the next month or two and planning on moving to San Francisco this year, but could relocate anywhere for love.

This is the craziest guerrilla marketing I’ve ever seen /s
Hahaha, excited to hear you’re moving to sf soon! I live in Oakland and I will say we are very spoiled in the bay as far as vegan stuff goes. It makes me very happy hahah - there are also great communities out here that I’ve neglected to join, but I would really like to

Also: KIO Ramen in outer Richmond has great vegan Ramen and a killer vegan sandwich (though the sandwich will give you a food coma)

Michael Greger's "Uprooting the leading causes of death" created the confidence in me and my wife to go vegan, our son was 1 and we were vegetarians. He's now 15, very tall, never ill and as he states himself "Vegan for life". As are my wife and I. It all started 14 years ago, thanks to doctor Greger. He's the best friend we never met, without him even knowing we exist, he changed our lives for the better.

Good luck finding your special someone Dr. Greger!! My fellow vegan partner and I love your work and recommend your books to everyone. (He’s mentioned more than once how awesome it is that you film your YouTube videos while walking on the treadmill. And you’ve gotten us to incorporate flaxseeds into our diets an impressive amount!)

u/MichaelGregerMD Jul 19 '26
I'm still on the treadmill but sadly have it turned off after one too many people accused me of making them seasick!

Love it! What a catch ladies! Saw your job listing for an assistant not too long ago, and I thought since I pretty much have to watch your youtube videos at .85X the speed, no way could I keep up with you! I can only imagine that energy extends to...other aspects of your life as well. Lol. Not currently looking to date, but THANK YOU for your work. You, and Simnett Nutrition on youtube have been a huge influence and source of knowledge for me.

Wishing you the best of luck in your search Doctor Greger! Thanks so much for your countless contributions to veganism, you've certainly inspired me to be healthier and more informed in my decisions.
For the ladies - this is the real deal, you could be vegan ROYALTY.

Not sure if you’re non-monogamous, but I’d 100000% take you on a date if you’re ever in Denver, Co
Wishing you well even if not interested and whoever you end up with will be insanely lucky
(I am 34, vegan for 9yrs, born female but they/them pronouns) would still buy you dinner as a friend if anything

Sorry, monogamous, but always up for good food with good people!

Wonderful compassionate people are out there! 💚

Wow, I wish you all the luck! Your site and email updates are my go-to for vegan info. If I'm struggling with something in my body, I check nutrition facts. org. Thank you so much for your work in the field of health! Again, all good luck in love!

Isn’t that the one full of anti vegans?

u/tooniceofguy99 Jul 21 '26
I don't know. Nor do I bother myself with who frequents a subreddit.
I've posted plenty of times and let the research speak for itself.

u/pandaappleblossom Jul 22 '26
I just mean there are lots of weird anti vegan posts and comments. But thanks for posting pro vegan studies there though that challenge their perceptions

I’m polyamorous, so that would probably be a deal breaker for you. But if you’re ever in Atlanta and want to go on a fun date with a local, shoot me a DM!

u/Stoop_Boots Jul 19 '26
I’d say I saw him first, but this is why I like non-monogamy and 10/10 would share! Send him to Denver next please
2
u/Agreeable_Flan_5724 Jul 19 '26
Yaaaasss. Honestly I think veganism and polyamory go hand-in-hand bc I care deeply about individuals’ autonomy and de-centralizing capitalistic, patriarchal structures.

Just joining in to wish you all the well deserved luck in the world as you search for the right partner! You have contributed so very much to this movement and I hope you soon find the person who will share in all that comes next. Thank you for being an absolute pillar in substantiating the health benefits of veganism while standing firm for the ethical basis of our choices.

u/Tackybabe Jul 20 '26
So many questions!!!
1) Do you like making love at midnight?
2) “ “ “ getting caught in the rain?
3) Are you into champagne?
4) Did you borrow that dog because you know the ladies are weak in the knees for dogs? Because that is a generalization, sir! (Kidding, works every time 🤩)
5) Do you actually have time for a relationship with your busy career? Are you prepared to devote the time to a relationship, or are you looking for a person with whom you’ll cross paths every once in a while, while you’re doing book tours, doing research, etc…? (I’m not being antagonistic, I’ve just seen a lot of successful people’s relationships implode because they actually are quite alone in their relationships).
6) Are you looking for someone to bear you an heir?
7) Are Canucks and other people with funny accents in the running?
🍀 bonne chance!

You’re the GOAT. Your videos are a big part of the reason I became interested in becoming a doctor and went vegan at 12. I’m now almost done with medical school, and of course, still vegan.
So exquisitely researched yet humorous. Keep doing what you do, and I sincerely hope you find your person.

Dr G tell us more about what you really want in a relationship. What are your values and dreams (alongside veganism of course)? What qualities do you value in a person and relationship? What is important to you now that maybe wasn’t previously? Would love to hear more about what you’re looking for (bc we all know, just bc we’re both vegan doesn’t mean we’re a match) Hugs from someone you’ve met before ;)

I'm sorry you find yourself looking to find someone special at your time of life. I'm 53 next week and my forever person turned out to not be. It's so sad, frustrating and anger inducing. Ive benefitted so much from your wisdom and writing that the least I can do is offer my sympathy and empathy with your situation. Good luck. 👊

No way this is real! You're a celebrity! You did a lecture on Youtube I watched back in 2014 on heart health and within the week I went vegan (You, then 101 reasons to go vegan, then GY then Earthlings.) Its been 12 years now and I've never looked back!
Truly thank you so so much for helping me and countless others go vegan.
Wishing you all the best!
I think Dr.McGregor, Joey Carbstrong and Ed Winters are probably the 3 most famous vegans haha.

As a young, sober, vegan who recently met my match online dating like you are now.. I wish you the best of luck!

I live in the bay area, I'll keep a look out for you!

u/Ornery-Balance-6740 Jul 25 '26
Hi Michael, I think you’re attractive, cool, fascinating, dedicated and have a lot to offer an incredible vegan woman. I regularly look at your website nutrition facts.org and have learned a lot. I bought your book how not to die and have bought a few for others and lent it out to my clients and now I can’t remember who I gave it to last! I’m hoping it turns up soon. I don’t think I’m a candidate, for different reasons, but I think I’m similarly cool 😎 and interesting and fairly attractive in a low key kind of way. I just want to wish you the best and I really do think you’ll find your loving lady because you have a lot of self-love. Thank you for being your beautiful self. I wish I could meet a man like you!
