[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see any reason to include it, if you don't consider it fundamental to your personal identity and need a partner who shares your dietary choices.

I feel like it's a myth of online dating that you need to put every single thing about yourself - esp stuff that could turn someone else off - on your profile. No need to mention that you like Big Bang Theory, either, or that you don't have a passport. That's all stuff that someone can find out after getting to know you a little, so it's not the only info they are going on.

Back when I was single, I did mention being vegetarian on my profile - but that's because it *is* fundamental to my self-identity, and I wanted to be with someone who shared that or at least who was open to it. (Course I ended up marrying a guy who periodically does Atkins, eating only meat - so there you go.)[/quote]

If, after coffee, I suggest going and getting a burger and there is hemming and hawing about which restaurant because you want to know if there will be something available for you to eat, then I'm not interested.  You're already too much work.  If you had put it in your profile, then I would know not to bother with you.  Not because you're not a great person, a great fit, a great whatever.....it really is about ME.  I have no interest in dealing with food limitations.[/quote]

Then you should put in YOUR profile you only want someone who will go out for burgers with you. Sounds like you are the one with the strict requirements, not OP. She can choose not to date you, if you say off the bat that you will only date meat eaters.
