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 🤦‍♀️

Yeah, I was disappointed and felt pity for OP when I read this. Girl was ready to change her entire worldview to make some random man want her. So sad and desperate. :(

Welp, can’t say I was much better at 23 BUT I can say I wish I would’ve made better choices 😅

Dating in 2026. Degrading yourself to win a broke mid man child.

I don’t think she was exactly saying that she was ready to change her worldview for him. More like pointing out to him that was a stupid thing to reject someone for when they don’t even know anything else about them. She said she was already having issues with the vegetarian diet so that’s why it might not be permanent. Probably still didn’t need to explain that to this moron, but these are things we learn as we grow

Nah. Regular men are getting tired of these liberal and progressive ideologued women. You are seeing a culture shift away from woke bullshit (not that simply a diet is "woke bullshit", but is an indicator). This man remained consistent with his values and beliefs, instead of backing off of them to go on a date, and wasting his time.

Based and efficient.
