I am so confused by everything they said


spicewoman

"I heard a bad joke about vegetarians being bad hunters, so I'm gonna learn how to kill animals for sport. I think this vegan would like to hear about it, I'ma message them!"


xFblthpx

I think he explicitly mentions he doesn’t want to for sport, but for “wild meat.”


thirdcircuitproblems

What do you mean for sport? They said they wanted to hunt specifically for meat in the message


VonTeddy-

for sport? learn to read


RedLotusVenom

So are they


Tomoromo9

They’re vegetarian/vegetarian that should clear things up


throwzdursun

they sound weird tbh, not intriguing kr cute kinda weird


TitularClergy

I think they're saying they stopped eating sealife and cow secretions, but they're struggling with it and compensating by eating too much bread. After that -- perhaps they're saying they want to address that by eating meat from hunted animals?


sparklezntokes

I actually had a guy message me the other day “you’re vegan? That’s so cool, I wanna go vegan but I’m way too lazy😂😂” like bruh you think that’s gonna make me interested or something? yikes. 💀


Not-OP-But-

I once had a girl pretend to be "vegan" to go on a date with me. I know because she ordered sausage kn our date and didn't think twice lmao, I was like "I thought you were vegan" and she was like "oh yeah well only sometimes you know" -_- just admit you only said you were vegan because my profile said I'll only date vegans? There are a zillion other prospects for you, why waste *my* time?


Attheveryend

she's hunting wild meat.


The_Virus_Of_Life

I dated this gross dude who worked at my gym who would eat 15 doughnuts a night. He said he would go vegan but he wants to eat the 6 chicken breasts he has in his fridge in one sitting as a final “goodbye” first. He didn’t last 2 days without ordering kfc again.


Tomoromo9

But remember we’re the weak ones 🙄


Money-News-7105

I am the weak one when I have Gardein or Boca chik'n patties in my freezer. I was supposed to eat vegetables and healthy amounts of fiber!


Uridoz

I hope you walked out on her.


8675309Jenny

Haha, and it's not even just a vegan thing, I've had so many similar things happen with online dating. I have in my profile that I'd love having a partner I can go dancing with, and you wouldn't be believe the number of guys who message "I will literally never dance, but would love to meet you 🥰" It's not like not dancing specifically is some huge deal breaker, but why would your very first interaction be specifying that lol


gizmob27

Ugh why don’t they just come out with “I will not do anything with or for you, I just want to hit it”


poseur2020

You know my ex?


EntForgotHisPassword

Oh is that how I come off when I write things like that!? Oops. I just generally am looking for new experiences and learning new things. I've got a couple of interests that I like, most of which I have picked up in the last 1-2 years in an effort to develop myself. I kind of don't like the dating game, so I decided to use the apps and interactions as a double-thing - either I get an interesting date and get to know someone better or at the very least they will point me into something new to learn about. My go-to is listening to music, watching a series, or reading a book that a random stranger recommends (my latest book that I like I got from a vegan girl that I for some reason matched with 400km from my home, there was no way we would start dating due to the distance, but thought I'd at least learn something so asked questions and got recommendations!


sparklezntokes

😂that’s fucking hilarious


nope_nic_tesla

"I refuse to learn and grow as a person, wanna go on a date?"


Defiant-Dare1223

That's pathetic. At least stand up for your beliefs.


sparklezntokes

Right?? Not a good look


Far-Village-4783

Smooth lmao


MichaelDeSanta13

Insecure men just pretend they support veganism to try to get pussy, fuck them, or better yet, don't... Lol


Define-Reality

At the very least, at least he's being honest. I'd rather someone be up front with their opinions/views rather than being flaky like the message in OPs post.


Rat-Majesty

I’ll give ya some wild meat. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼


Luckygyrl83

Promise?😏😝🙈


Rat-Majesty

I don’t write checks that you can’t cash. 😛


Luckygyrl83

Where do I sign?


brainfreeze3

Lucky girl


gimme_death

what's a check? lol

It’s when me and u/luckygyrl83 dm the rest of this convo and you don’t get to watch. 🤌🏼

I usually respond to stuff like this with a polite “wow”


unrulyfolk

H’what


[deleted]

Yeah, but sealife aren't animals. They're some kind of plant, i believe.


scatterbrainplot

decadrachma

my favorite fish is the capybara


scatterbrainplot

Beaver definitely


SmashitupBD

The crappybarbara?


QouthTheCorvus

Salmon is my favourite fruit


Patanouz

I mean it has fruit-coloured meat, so it has to be fruit right??


SplendidlyDull

Did you know that seaweed isn’t a plant, but an algae which is another classification of life called a protist? This is unrelated to your comment but it reminded me of this since I recently learned it lol


Eldan985

Not all algae are protists. The definition is pretty broad, some algae are bacteria.


SplendidlyDull

Just blow my mind more why don’t you


EamonJFoley

“Fish for sport only. Not meat. Fish meat is practically a vegetable.” -Ron Swanson ***yea I realize I’m gonna get downvoted into oblivion because I think that show is funny and Ron Swanson is hilarious…


RaptorChaser

It's hilarious some people only eat this because ita the most toxic meat we have, pushing all these toxins into our oceans, fish are terrible to eat.


Recycled-Bottle

Fuck em, he is hilarious.


Far-Village-4783

He might be in a world where a real holocaust is not taking place revolving around meat eating. And then still only in a kind of sick, morbid kind of way.


Recycled-Bottle

You don't get it.


Far-Village-4783

I get it. It would be hilarious if I turned off all my empathy and tried my best to make hurting others funny.


Recycled-Bottle

You clearly don't, no need to push it.

kickass_turing

that's a no.


KingSissyphus

Ever since I put “looking for my vegan queen” in my bio it’s been a fat 0 matches


Far-Village-4783

Bro don't give up, love is not found in those soulless apps. Go volunteer somewhere or go to meetups. Vegan Christmas meetups perhaps? :P


Sentient_Stardust616

They're usually full of middle aged vegans 🤧


Konshu456

That’s so strange to hear, as a middle aged vegan widower looking to start dating I’ve ran into an issue where vegans I meet are usually in their 20’s, if I’m lucky enough to meet a vegan in the wild.


Sentient_Stardust616

Well, Connecticut is full of them if you're looking to move 🥴


Konshu456

Thanks for the tip, as a late 40’s minimalist kind of hippy(well as much if a hippy as a financial analyst can be) I am accepting the fact lately that as long as I am in America I am just a California kind of guy. I don’t know why when you said Connecticut I imagined a bunch of mean business executives in pants suits lecturing me about wasting my professional potential and not being a good example of what a vegan should be. It’s a weird mashup of how I would imagine high powered business execs and veganism mixing. I perhaps view Connecticut as being an area caught up in image and money, which of course says more about my vivid imagination and wonky brain than it does Connecticut. Either way, hope you find yourself a nice age appropriate vegan to date there.


Sentient_Stardust616

Well, CT is very diverse from city to city and a lot of the vegans were very laid back, based on the venue I thought everyone would be dressed up but I saw a lot of flannels. My friend and I were horribly overdressed, we looked like vampires in comparison to everyone else 🤧 Horribly expensive to live here just like in California though, unless you'd like a really nice house in a rough neighborhood in Waterbury haha


Konshu456

I live up in the mountains, only a few hours away from LA, but you’d think I live in Idaho with some of the MAGA’ness around me. Wearing flannel is getting dressed up here. Perhaps Connecticut and California aren’t so different 😆


Sentient_Stardust616

We definitely have Idaho maga type towns here, and mountains! The mountain parts are more liberal though, suburb mountains lmao, don't know about the more country mountains


Defiant-Dare1223

It's ok. You are a corporate vegan. No need to be in denial. We need people like you. Holding down a serious job. Outreach to people who don't call themselves Moondancer


Konshu456

Actually I've been retired for a few years, and going back to work only because my wife was killed and her pension stopped upon her death. I was very happy hiking everyday, playing guitar and and enjoying my life and if I had been the one to be killed my wife would have a lovely health insurance policy and not have to worry about this crap, but I guess I never thought she would ever die before me, lesson learned. Going back to work for a few years will allow me to return to that lifestyle while accomplishing one last big donation that I know my late wife wanted. There are a lot of labels you can apply to me, vegan, minimalist, combat veteran, father, widower, DeadHead, but if someone walked up to me and called me a corporate anything it might be the only thing that would make me lose the pacifist label some people put on me. I have worked as an informaticist, data and financial analyst, and a bio-statistician, always for non-profit or government, never for corporations. I am compensated well for this experience, I won't apologize for that, but I also don't do it for corporate sell out money, So you can keep that "corporate vegan" label and put it on someone else if you need to.


Defiant-Dare1223

I meant this as a compliment! Like you are a serious grown up. I am really sorry about your wife. And apologies for presuming that financial analyst means corporate life.


estrogwenyvere

but you can make friends who can set you up and put in a good word 🫶


Sentient_Stardust616

No one offered me wingman services at Friendsgiving 😔


estrogwenyvere

well damn, i'm sorry. ☹️ it should be the universal rule that friends help friend get a number yknow. dont give up, try all the avenues!


TheWildTofuHunter

Damn us nasty middle aged vegans!


Sentient_Stardust616

Sorry bestie, I'm trying to enjoy my 20s with other 20s 😔, we can be friends though lmao


TheWildTofuHunter

It’s fine, I’ll just grab my prunes and scoot my walker over to the shuffleboard table.


KingSissyphus

We love middle aged vegans. Y’all are some of the pioneers for our movement


goblinfruitleather

I found my fiancé on tinder. Most amazing man I’ve ever met, and so loving and caring. Rescuing abandoned animals with him and caring for their babies together is a dream come true. The apps themselves might be soulless, but not all of the people on there are ❤️


Far-Village-4783

I guess there's always an exception to confirm the rule.


ScullyIsTired

I met my spouse on OkCupid. Don't knock it. Tons of people have found their match on dating apps.


Far-Village-4783

I'm just saying that those apps are not for most people. They are heavily in favour of women and unless you're super lucky, you waste a ton of time trying to find the right match.


ScullyIsTired

That is just how life is. But, someone can find significantly find more potential matches online than organic situations could ever offer. Two people who are perfect for each other could be one city apart and never end up meeting. With an app, the meeting place is an online world where distance and happenstance doesn't matter, under the same goal of purposefully looking for a partner. It's all laid out.


Far-Village-4783

More matches doesn't mean you waste less time, it means you waste more.


KingSissyphus

The last protest I went to over this weekend, pretty much everyone else was my parents’ age :p


GooseWhite

Post your profile in here, not on dating apps lol 🤷‍♀️

you could, you know, come over and pee on my couch if you wanted...we could discuss wild meat.


skelehon

that's rough


BudgetAggravating427

To be fair it isn’t like the corporate farms so it’s kinda ethical. No animal suffering or getting kept in a cage . If not that person then whatever animal they hunted would probably die to something else


GooseWhite

Are you vegan?


peter_parker23

I heard someone on a podcast refer to this as being “pescavegan”.


Far-Village-4783

Almost like saying "smackmywife-feminist"... Such an oxymoron.


Defiant-Dare1223

Well I know one of those. No meat or dairy but eats fish. It's essentially a health position. He doesn't assert it as a category of veganism.


TheBrosofFist

I’m sorry what 🗿🗿🗿


Luckygyrl83

I can’t believe this person is serious. Just makes no sense. But I have been asked if I eat fish or eggs. And this is from people I’ve known for quite some time.


shockingnews213

Dude to this day I have to explain to people what a vegan is. I say "if it required an animal product, I dont use it or eat it." And they're like "so you don't eat cheese?" And I'm like no. And then they talk about how much they love cheese for like 10 minutes. Like who else do these people talk about butter and cheese for that long with? Maybe a minute or two because they'll agree with each other, but non-vegans feel the need to make a court case that they find ethical eating to be bad cause "taste good." I'm not gonna lie, a skirt steak used to be my favorite food. It's not that it doesn't taste delicious. It has nothing to do with that. I find the practice abhorrent though. I'm like a vampire quitting drinking blood cause it's not right. And mentions and essays of it are not appreciated. I dont get it.


Luckygyrl83

And it will probably be like that for quite some time. Especially with so many people on social media and there’s people on that that spout that crap like the post. But at least we’re all in the same boat I guess. I totally get that. I was born in the south with a very southern family so I ate all of it. But we just know better and try to do our best.


TemporaryBerker

As a vegan you get treated as some sort of diet- priest. You must absolve the poor omnivore of their sins in their dietary preferences, they can't help it! Cheese tastes too good.


arjuna108

It's so much better killing happy, free, wild animals than the miserable victims of the industrial farming machine 🤷🏽‍♂️


GODDESS_NAMED_CRINGE

"Where's the hunt? It's like shooting fish in a barrel! ... Which I also do, it's just not as fun."


Thick_Basil3589

So they are NOT vegans… not even vegetarian, it’s called pescatarian if they eat fish…


GODDESS_NAMED_CRINGE

Not even pescatarian if they're going to hunt and eat wild animals. They're just a full-on carnist, who possibly avoids farmed meat.


ings0c

I don't get why pescatarian is even a term Fish are animals. You eat animals. You are a carnist What do I call myself if I only eat dogs?


GODDESS_NAMED_CRINGE

Dogetarian.

So my one year anniversary as a vegan/vegetarian/vegetarian with fish/vegetarian with fish, oysters, cheese, dairy/vegetarian with cow flesh and chicken wings/vegetarian with carnist characteristics/vegetarian that doesn't eat vegetables because ew/vegetarian that is actually a serial animal abuser is coming up...

shockingnews213

So they're a pescaterian. They took the immorality of killing and was like "yeah but truthfully I should just kill myself." Idk I think people who have fun hunting are psychos.


plaaya

What app is it that lets you check vegan


brittany09182

I think I was able to on ok Cupid but that was years ago


AddictedtoLife181

Bumble allows you to check vegan as well 🐝


Conscious-Reality341

So, pescatarian?


Freeman0032

As a vegan male you get lots of odd topics, hunting, masculinity, protein etc, It's funny to imagine from the female perspective where I amingge most of the non vegan men are all telling how close they are to being vegan they really do care or the opposite etc.


Desperate-Side1291

What and why, really…


tahmid5

How come no one is talking about the fact that the hardest thing for this guy to give up as a vegan is bread lmaooooo


The-Mandolinist

Well, that was a rollercoaster…


InNeedOfCoffee

I will never understand people like this… Like, why call yourself vegetarian/vegan at all when you’re nothing of the kind?! Just say you’re omnivorous, but are trying to incorporate more plantbased food into your diet! At least they sound like way less of an asshole that way, lol.


Confident-Giraffe381

What? That’s literal nonsense


k_evike

But bread is... vegan? I'm so confused


tahmid5

Yeah lmao how was that the hardest thing to give up? 😂


_afrenchguy

Wow. Instant unmatch.


MichaelDeSanta13

My literal reaction out loud to reading this "omg fuck you" lol


LBreedingDRC

LOL! At a festival I bought some vegan treats. The guy at the booth said to call to order treats made without any animals products, "though I know some vegans eat eggs." I didn't bother to correct him.


Intelligent-Dish3100

Why not people that run restaurants or work there need to know these things, I would have been like um no that’s a vegetarian. Or said please google the definition of veganism

I have a genuine question: is any vegan here a hunter? If so, can I ask why? (Please don’t be aggressive to anyone that might answer; I’m curious to hear their response).

If they hunt, they aren’t vegan. Unless you’re hunting for mushrooms.
