Question about vegansexuals

[mossytrail (deleted)]

I have heard of a ------ orientation, of sorts, called vegansexual -- vegans who are only attracted to other vegans. Now, the reason I said "of sorts" is that no one is born inherently a vegan; in that sense, it is not in the same category as gay, straight, or bi. The vegan life is chosen when we are old enough to understand what it is -- this is true even if we were raised vegan.

But I have seen the change in me when I chose the vegetarian life, viz.: the longer I go without eating meat, the more disgusting meat seems to me. Now whenever I smell meat cooking, I usually think it is ripe, and wonder how the person cooking it cannot tell. Having seen that change in me, I can see how a similar phenomenon could occur in vegans.

So, when a vegansexual is in whatever social gathering place they go to meet people, how to they know whether that other person they see is vegan? Presumably they would have to be able to tell, in order for there to be that first spark of attraction that moves them to go meet the person. Is it the smell? Does a vegan smell different from a meat-eater (perhaps not like ripe meat?)? How far away is it detectable -- can you tell from the other side of a club?

And how long after you become vegan does this sense kick in, allowing you to become vegansexual?

Live was I ere I saw evil Umm, well I'm straight so I'm only attracted to females. The reason I would only date a vegan or vegetarian female has nothing at all to do with smells or anything like that but rather with the disgust I feel for people who cannot humble themselves enough to allow for a little bit of compassion towards those unfortunate creatures who are helpless simply because they were not lucky enough to be born human. In other words it is my conscience and my sense of compassion, not my sense of smell, that makes me hate and reject meat eaters.

Unfortunately not, which is why being direct from the get-go is the best route to take. I have no problem approaching a man, introducing myself and asking him first thing about his dietary lifestyle. It's futile in this already-challenging search of ours to engage conversation with someone we may potentially be interested in if the primary core value is not aligned.

In ideal world it would be awesome to justmeet other vegg/vegan unfortunately its not so easy
I also have an issue with animal rights and it bugs me that a lot of people do not realise what is going on/ dont care but U still have to interact with them...
Your family etc ...coworkers ...
Some poeple live in a familywhere they are only 1 vegg and the rest loves meat....I see that a lot..
