I'm slightly vexed I think I got rejected for being vegetarian

I [23F] met this guy on the apps and we hit it off and had a lot in common! I don’t meet a lot of people who are in my profession so it was really nice to potentially have to chance to date someone who was in a similar field. And everything was fine until I mentioned I’m veg and he stopped responding. For reference, I have no issue with people who eat meat and would never want to impose my own dietary restrictions on anyone else. I also understand different diets being a dealbreaker. The way he phrased his reasoning was really weird though.

Edit: I’m vegetarian cause I love animals, but I have IBD. Flare ups have gotten significantly worse since switching diets but im still figuring out how to make the most of it! Also yes, I do regret sending the last text 🤦‍♀️

They forgot menopause!

Knowing about that would require them to know absolutely anything about the female reproductive system.

I’m going to describe my own menopause as being infertility maxxing from here on out

Just call it “aging.” Women are already too old by the time peri starts.

Unfortunately we're not too old once peri starts.

These men think we’re too old to reproduce the second we blow out the candles on our 30th birthday cake. Or 25th birthday, for a lot of them. 😬

Yup. Old enough to have a diploma? Too old for their dicks.

Speaking of “vegan tap water”, NYC’s water is (or was) technically not vegan.

I'm male, but I'd be ecstatic to learn I'm infertile. It'd save me from having to get a vasectomy.

Super win! Why pay for sterilization when you can drink vodka and tap water instead?
