That's funny, in high school my friends used to ask, "Should I date a meat-eater?" And people would say, "No! How could you be with someone who eats animals?" or "Only if he's respectful of animal rights."

A fitting post considering we are in the midst of that holiday known as Meat Week: meatweekisreal.com

But as an avowed carnivore, I must protest the statements that meat only goes with whiskey and beer (both things I do love) when it comes to alcohol and that men only drink wine for pretension. A complex Cabernet Sauvignon or first-growth Bordeaux is the PERFECT pairing for a steak (medium-rare, of course; there is no other way)–the wine and the meat augment and enhance each other, furthering the enjoyment of both.

Carnivores are bores. They think if there's some meat on a plate, they can have some god-awful side dish as an accompaniment and call it a MEAL. Date a vego and find out what flavour and variety are really about. And since when does beer = meat? Beer is made from wheat! Go grains!

A vegetarian would probably be a good influence on my meat and potatoes lovin' self. I suppose as long as they didn't interfere with me gettin' my meat on (like complaining about the smell of it cooking, asking me how I could eat THAT, demanding that meat is cooked in a separate pan, etc..) then it could be all good. My true test would be if my vegetarian would be willing to cook meat for me even if he isn't going to eat it (ala Edward –Twilight obsessed women know what I am talking 'bout). Honestly, I could see myself dating a vegetarian before I would date a Republican. And you know all those conservative right wingers eat meat.

Kim, the kind of vegetarian that you would be willing to date either a) doesn't exist or b) isn't really staying true to his vegetarian values if he doesn't.

I myself have never dated a vegetarian, but for whatever reason I've dated quite a few guys who used to be vegetarians — sometimes for years — and then switched back to meat when they hit their late 20s. Go figure.

OK, the vegetarian who said "most vegetarians are rambling idiot douchetards" is alright in my book. I like the way someone found a way to bring up "Republicans" and "Conservative Right Wingers" in the comments. Picking on the hippies is going to be fun :)

As far as the wine goes…I do enjoy it sometimes. Mostly reduced and poured across animal tissue.

I am a gun owning guy who supported McCain. I also voted against Prop 8 and I support a woman's right to choose. I hope I am as confusing to you as you are to me. If you can't take some healthy and fun debate we are going to have a hard relationship people! I want you to be mad at me…please play into my bloody hands.

You made me misty with your lovely ode to meat. May god have mercy on any vegan that crosses your path. They are truly annoying dinner guests/boyfriends.

How can anyone talk about variety if they completely cut out an entire food group? True variety is meat and veggies!
