My vegetarian girlfriend is trying to force me to cut out meat

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH · 2015-12-01T22:21:49+00:00

How can you even ask us what to do?

She's taking your freedom. She has two options: either respect your needs or leave. Simple as that. Sounds harsh but that's it. I understand she is your girlfriend, but this is too extreme. She can't tell you what to do.

Dude. This chick has found a new religion. Consequently, convincing her is going to be a holy war.

Do you really want to waste your time?

Find some other chick that cares more about you and what you want, rather than some silliness she read in a magazine.

The only possible way, tell her politely to fuck off with her unreasonable requests, if not next her ass.

Tell her no, you're going to eat what you want when you want. And that she needs to stop talking all the time about animal rights.

Next her if she doesn't immediately stop with the unreasonable demands and the PC all the time.

This is probably going to break you two up, so be prepared for that.

I have a vegan fwb for a couple years now and I eat steak in front of her. She would never dream of telling me not too because I would laugh in her face.

Check your frame bro she is taking it.

You going to allow someone tell you what you can or can't eat? You're not a fucking child, you're a man.

"I'm hungry, I will eat what I want when I want, I don't share your feelings on this topic. I don't want to hear about this anymore. Don't like to watch me eat meat? Go elsewhere so you don't have to watch." She tries to protest....follow up with "This conversation is over."

You were under the wrong (beta) impression. TRP isn't about compromise. We men do that on a daily basis.

In a relationship you are not equals. She is a woman who is always trying to bring you into her frame little by little. Nag here, offer of some little sex-thing there, eventually chipping away at your standards, self esteem and rights.

Explain to her, as if she was a teenager, that you are not going to be made to change your diet because quite simply you don't want to. And you don't try to change hers so why would she try to change yours? (because it's how she breaks you down into your beta role)

Simply explain that if she wishes to be with a guy who doesn't eat meat she doesn't wish to be with you. She can respect you or find someone else.

Because you either respect yourself or you deserve women walking all over you.

Next time, when she brings that up, bring up how your meat was her in her mouth and that ain't stopping. Start turning the dread up and she will fold or you will dump her. Either way, you win.

sacrifice a goat in the backyard and ask the gods for advice

I have two vegan plates. Neither of them rag me out. One will cook meat for me, but will not eat it herself (she's also not technically vegan b/c she will eat cheese and eggs).

The other one is legit vegan, i.e., no animal products, but says it's "personal choice" and doesn't care if I eat meat.

The point here is, they both respect my choices and I don't force them to eat meat (um, well, except metaphorically, I suppose).

So where does she get off telling you what you can and can't eat?

Oh, and this:

Not only that, she turns every conversation to animal rights and it's starting to drive a wedge in the relationship.

This doesn't get better. She either needs to STFU or get out.

I was under the impression that a good compromise here would be to respect each other's diets.

Do not compromise with women. They are better at manipulation than you are, and you have a built-in protective instinct toward them, while they have none toward you. If you negotiate, you will lose.

Do not "convince" her of anything. You do not need her permission to eat what you want.

Continue eating meat in her presence. She can leave or stay. If she leaves, it was inevitable, and you are better off that way. If she stays, she will respect you for standing up for yourself.

just laugh it off like it's no big deal. Don't actually take her advice seriously. If she's refusing to let the relationship continue without you making changes, then move on.

On a side note, I've noticed it's always the less promiscuous girls who are likely to be fucked in the head about being vegan or feminism etc.

Promiscuous girls in my experience really don't give a fuck and are more laid back. I'm not saying to marry a slut but just an observation about the whole SJW culture. I used to be average in terms of built (still sort of am, working on it) and the 2 extreme sluts I dated always forced me to eat as much meat as possible and come squat with them. It was during my beta days, but just something I noted. Idk if anyone has similar experiences with slutty / not so slutty girls.
