I try to have realistic standards and acknowledge nobody is perfect, I give people a chance. I especially try not to expect the men I've dated to be like the women I've dated, and yeah it's been pretty night and day.

Sides i got a super high metabolism so yes most people eating like me would blow up into the brillantly named lard buoy

I used to live with a guy who ate nothing but cereal, chicken nuggets with ketchup, and Caesar salads. Once we were at a dinner party hosted at another roommate's parents' house with a goddamn buffet of pastas, roasts, delicious roti bread and like three different pies for dessert.

He didn't eat a bite of it and asked the host to make him hotdogs. He was like 26 at the time.

Eat whatever you want but please don't ever do that. It's embarrassing for literally everyone involved.

I don't get to complain about nice guys having super insane standards if I maintain super insane standards, and clearly they are kind of high because most of the guys I've mentioned here only got like 3-4 dates max or w/e

Like, being the one who cooks is not really a problem on its own, only in a context where he expects all domestic chores are what the woman does once he's got one.

They really are.

Another story about that guy: He once dated someone who invited him to her house and surprised him with a (supposedly) nice heartfelt meal and he absolutely refused to eat it. They got into a pretty big argument about it, apparently. That's how she learned he eats like an eight year old. Then he later broke up with her because she disagreed with him about how media influences behavior or some such bullshit.

Dude was weird.

All of this is great so far and I'm extremely pleased with my progress having cut out the unhealthy parts of my diet, but the bit that I'm getting stuck on is drinks. I will normally finish a soda with every meal and sometimes start the day with a tall glass of orange juice but obviously that's right out now. I'm really struggling to come up with beverages I can have that aren't water. I just can't bring myself to finish a glass without holding my nose and gagging on the last few mouthfuls. Do people seriously have litres of this stuff every day? I guess I can see now why bottled water is so expensive, it's just overpriced branded hipster bullshit for idiots who want to look 'oh-so-healthy' by avoiding the dreaded coca-cola (oh noes ) while not actually making the effort to substantially change their diets.

Worst picky eater I've ever known was a roommate of a friend, and she would only eat Wonderbread, white rice (unseasoned), and plain noodles with butter and sugar. I assume she took some vitamins because her teeth weren't falling out from scurvey.

Yet another guy that lived in the same house as us would eat only instant oatmeal for breakfast and instant ramen for subsequent meals. He wouldn't even put in the effort to do it on the stovetop, it was all kettle-made for this guy!

After living with for fall and going home for winter break, he came back and started adding chickpeas to his ramen. I'm glad I never had to share a bathroom with him. I instead shared it with aforementioned manchild who, when I went to sign the lease, said almost with pride that he never cleans the bathroom because the idea turns his stomach.

How is saying it's not a big deal if the guys don't cook having a chip? And even that was in response to I think the pretty fair point that it sucks to have to cook two versions of a meal because the other person is eating in a way you can't.

Pick, we have friends who date said straight men. And it gets bad, but never that bad. Mainly, because said friends know how to pick 'em better than you seem to. To be sure they occasionally get a friend who makes the awkward love confession or such, but...come the gently caress on...

I mean this unironically, you should watch Planeta Singli (Planet Single) - a 2 hour or so Polish romcom made by a director from my country. Like...every post you make ITT just makes me imagine you as the lead in that movie, and it fits disturbingly well lol.

If that's a big deal for you you should suggest ethnic places for first dates and see how they function.

Dude the main thing is I'm a bit of a nut who is moving all the drat time and doesn't even have a projected end date to having to move all the time, my prospects ain't so hot really. And I'm largely surrounded by academics and programmers, those are the people I know.

I have no doubt there are plenty of trash tier men. But there are also plenty of non-trash tier men. Men who can cook and otherwise handle/manage their own lives and don't need a surrogate mother.

It's actually quite astounding that you've never met one, there are literally millions of us out there. Maybe it is the academia thing.

I'm fine with vegetarians but my Ex decided to be vegan about a year into our relationship. Which meant I had to be vegan.

Except I worked all the time and she would get stoned as gently caress and just order philly cheesesteaks or something while I was at work and forbid me from cheating. I made it about 3 months of paying a 4x grocery bill for vital wheat gluten and mock meat and poo poo before I just told her to buy her own groceries and I would buy mine and we would eat separately, which caused a huge drama explosion since she didn't want to pay $20-$30 a meal for vegan hot dogs, vegan bread, vegan cheese, vegan chili, vegan plates and vegan chips from whole food.

She didn't even give a poo poo about animals and got mad when I accused her of doing it for social status to set herself apart from her vegetarian friends. In my mind if you truly are snow white want to walk through the culinary forest with the animals you aren't eating "Double meat, double cheese" Philly's at least 2-3 times a week while preaching the tenets of veganism
