A lady liked me on OK cupid YAY
She said she really loved my profile. 'It is so ME' YAY
We were 85% compatible YAY
We both love LOTR. YAY
Looking good.

Last night I told her I'd bought a chicken and a pack of chicken thighs that were huge reduced at the supermarket. This morning I sent a message saying that I woke to the lovely, glorious yummy smell of chicken cooking in the slow cooker that pervaded the house.
I got a short message saying 'I am a strict vegan and the smell of a cooking, killed animal would disgust me.'
Right we'll draw a line under it then shall we haha. she didn't say whether she would be equally disgusted by a cooking, un
Killed animal. I love animals. I love cats and dogs. Especially barbequed

That would be a hard relationship. I'm a pretty strict vegetarian, but I am willing to compromise and cook meat for my wife (im not vegetarian by choice). If she cant allow you to enjoy eating tasty animals, and throw a fit every time you cook one, then its going to be really hard to work that out.

You might run the question by her on whether or not an unkilled animal would be okay by her to cook.

It would be a really hard relationship since she shows that she couldn't even tolerate someone else cooking meat, much less eating it. Unless you are willing to become a vegan, I would think you might not be as compatible as it first seemed.

Eating style is on your profile in the US. So im surprised your difference in this area was a surprise to you both. I however appreciate a man who can cook How did you fix that chicken?

Yep, I think that would be a deal breaker. She said in her profile that she was 'mainly vegetarian' . Anybody got other 'dealbreakers' that came up when they were dating?

from a meetup in recent memory. Things gone wrong:
1. The guy was trying to pretend he wasnt the guy. Like an idiot, i went up to him anyway and said, "hey arent you the guy?"
2. The guy was wearing my mothers shirt. It was a plaid liz claiborne, so rather butch looking, and she had taken it from me, but still - he was wearing my mothers shirt. I swallowed it.
3. He looked like he had recently brushed his teeth with a hamburger bun. I ignored that too.

A few more years of therapy have gone by now. Hopefully i would act a little differently. Like leave immediately .

Abandoning their children. I have met several men who Never see their minor kids after the divorce. Like never. Deal breaker

Few guys asked me on a first date if I would convert to Christianity like become baptist. My profile states I am Jewish. More so few didn't ever read it prior to meeting. One guy asked which church I go to. Sorry not converting. Deal breaker

Lying. I've met guys who said they were 5.7 but they were really 4.11. Nothing against short guys but why lie.

One said I am boring to my face. He asked about my purse. It was colorful one. He said it doesn't suit my personality. Purse is fun but I am not. When asked why I am not fun he said because I don't drink and don't go to clubs ( I am almost 50). Lol nobody ever called me boring lol even my students don't think i
am boring. He was wearing platform shoes by the way lol

I'm sure I have a ton of deal breakers. A big one is their grammar, both on their profile and in their messages to me. I won't date someone with bad grammar. I won't date someone who hunts or fishes; the idea that it's a "sport" to kill another living creature absolutely baffles me. I also won't date someone who is religious and/or politically conservative. We just wouldn't have anything in common. Even more importantly, I want to have kids and raise them with someone who has a similar system of values. I'm sure I could go on... but then I'd just appear picky So far, there is a woman who had made it to date 3 and passed all of my deal-breaking questions. We'll see how it goes...

Ahhhh ... If she loves Animals she should stop eating the food they need to eat to survive and thrive LOL.... Trippin 2.0 told me that a while back when I was having trouble with a person that would rant and rave all over Facebook how eating meat is horrific and animals should be able to live out there life in peace... but oddly would order chicken or pork when we would go out for dinner Yeah LOL

On a serious note.. My daughter went Vegetarian a few years ago, She comes to visit or I go to Florida to see her, she doesn't have any issues with my eating meat. In her words that would make her an "asshole" to dictate what other should eat.

I think this relationship is doomed if she would have trouble if you even cooked something..

Btw ...

You should've replied:


"What!? You don't eat meat??? What kind of monster are you??? ( I'm personally picturing a giant rabbit in a people suit )

I'm so sorry, but that's a deal breaker for me..."
