"women preferred omnivorous (meat-eating) men, rated them as more attractive, and felt more positive about them than vegetarians...vegetarian men were considered less attractive because they were perceived as less masculine" Timeo, S., & Suitner, C. (2018)

Studies 1 and 2 analyzed female mating preference for vegetarian and omnivorous partners, confirming that women preferred omnivorous men (Study 1 and 2), rated them as more attractive (Study 1 and 2), and felt more positive about them (Study 1) than vegetarians. Moreover Study 2 showed that the attribution of masculinity mediated this relationship, such that vegetarian men were considered less attractive because they were perceived as less masculine.

I thought this comic would be somewhat relevant here

Wow the more you know. Not that it would matter, if they said the opposite I would still be omnivorous.

On the other hand, if you go for quality (hot vegan yoga teachers) and not quantity (chubby couch-potatoes), there might be a benefit to aiming for the smaller group of women.

Guess it's a good job I didn't become a vegetarian to get laid, then.

For what it's worth, I went out to eat with a bunch of coworkers to this rotisserie chicken place. I tore into about a pound chicken like a starving hyena and noticed several of the women giving lowered-eyelid stares similar to the girls on this page. It stuck out in my mind because I wouldn't have thought aggresive eating could be attractive, yet here were several women apparently triggered by the sight.
