"No, because there are not many single male vegans in Auckland, New Zealand, however I dated a vegan who lived in NYC!"

Nichola, Auckland, New Zealand

"If I could... I would."

Lani, Johannesburg, South Africa

"Absolutely!"

Anonymous, Washington D.C., U.S.A.

"I prefer to date vegans/vegetarians, though would also date a convertible, more ethical omnivore."

Anonymous, London, England, U.K.

"I don't date. I'm a dateless loser. But if I did date...yes....only vegans...they are the only men who appeal to me and whom I find sexy (I'm not being facetious, I really mean that."

Anonymous, Seattle, WA., U.S.A.

"I'd like to only date a vegan."

Di Smith, Cape Town, South Africa

"Yes, absolutely. They smell much better and have the same morals as I do. They are more pure of heart and non-aggressive."

Anonymous, Toronto, Canada

"I'm married to a vegan. But if I was single, I think I would have a hard time dating a meat-eater."

Katy, Virginia, U.S.A.

"My husband is awesome, fine as heck and not a vegan."

Shannon, Florida, U.S.A.

"That is really important for me. I've only been a vegan for a few years, but being vegan says a lot about someone."

Anonymous, Fargo, North Dakota, U.S.A.

"No. This has been a long-standing point of debate that I've had with myself. But no. Right now, for example, I'm dating an omnivore. It doesn't make me happy (the omnivorishness), but I hope maybe my influence can affect that some. Will it become a point of contention in the future? It could very well be. But I hope that perhaps my influence will be of some good."

Lindy Loo, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.

"I'm married to a vegan. But when I dated, I did date non-vegans, but it never worked out. Only when I dated a vegan, did it stick."

Hope Bohanec, Santa Rosa, CA., U.S.A.

"Assuming physical attraction on my part, women who subscribe exclusively to a whole foods, plant-based diet, in addition to the ethical portion of veganism, are, in my opinion, extremely attractive beings."

Ethan Handur, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

"No, or I would be celibate. Or, I would have to move to another part of the country."

Anonymous, Central Scotland

"Hardly! It is nicer when they are, so we can share food, but if not, I still usually insist they get something vegan when we eat out, so I can try theirs. (Batting eyelids is a big help)."

Anonymous, Perth, Australia

"No, but now that I have a vegan partner, I'd hate to go back."

Kris Dove, Paisley, Scotland

"No, as the pool can be a bit limited. I would rather just date vegans, though!!! I would never want to settle down with someone in the long term who is not vegan."

Caroline, London, England, U.K.

"At this point, for a serious relationship, you'd have to be vegan or become vegan. For a casual date, it wouldn't matter too much, but it does gross me out to dine where animal flesh is being served. I find it offensive now."

Cheryl Hill, Austin, Texas, U.S.A.

"Absolutely. I could never have a close relationship with someone who is okay with cruelty or destruction of our environment. I make non-vegan friends, in hopes that I can lead by example."

Danielle, Costa Rica, U.S.A.

"I prefer it, but I never meet any, so I occasionally 'dabble' in carnivores."

Rainbow Casey, Southern California, U.S.A.

"I would only date vegans or those willing to become sensitive and compassionate human beings; however, I would gladly convey a vegan message of love to open-minded omnivores."

"I don't take a diet into consideration for attractiveness. Cannibalism, I will consider, though."

Thomas, NOT a vegan, under 18 @ time of survey, from Alabama, U.S.A. (He mistakenly thinks veganism is a diet.)

"I have been dating non-vegans, but haven't really been happy in these relationships. Veganism /animal activism is one of the most important things in my life, and it would be great to be with someone who shares these values."

Anonymous, Melbourne, Australia (19-30 age group)

"NO. I was already married before I became vegan. May have been different if I was single."

Tommy, Melbourne, Australia

"I would like to. I don't feel fortunate enough to be in that position, though. I would not feel comfortable having a serious relationship with someone who was not vegetarian."

Anonymous, Brisbane, Australia (19-30 age group)

"I am married (happily) to a man who became vegan through our marriage, but would make selection if someone doesn't want to understand me, then he doesn't love me. I mean, I would give a chance to a meat-eater, but before we go out, we should talk about veganism, as I could not kiss no one who just eat a cow."

Jelena, Serbia/Belgrade

"It hasn't been a problem (my omni boyfriend went vegetarian and then vegan soon after we stared dating), so I can't say for sure. I think it would be really annoying to date an omni or vegetarian at this point, but who knows? People do strange things for love."

Megan McClellan, Eugene, Oregon, U.S.A.

"No. I date people that I find interesting regardless of what they eat. Almost all of them are vegans, though. I am recently divorced and new at dating, and sense that I will probably become more choosy. Since men have either shifted toward veganism or converted entirely while in a romantic relationship with me, I would not discount a man who is not vegan."

Maribeth Abrams, Glastonbury, CT., U.S.A.
